Besides the Belle Tire man, who are those people?? Some songsters for you youngin's?

Must be pretty genre specific...

Sigh... but then again, I was at a gas station recently and the attendant told the young fellow in front of me that he looked like Ricky Ricardo, whereupon the young guy replied "who's that?"

I'd have to agree with Rob Paulson, mostly cause he went to my high school (Grand Blanc) - I remember seeing his picture, along with that of Raphael, on the wall with famous grads.

Didn't know Billy West was from Detroit, but i'm a big futurama fan, so i'd have to agree with that too.

Oh nice, do you think he would remember you if he saw you now? Or did you ever meet him?

oh, no, he was there 20 years before me - i suppose i didn't actually word that very clearly. I just remember thinking it was cool that one of our famous grads did something that i was actually familiar with. For some reason, i never forgot that name, which is amazing, cause i can't remember the name of half the people i actually did graduate with. Probably because I kept seeing his name through the years in the credits of so many cartoons.
