My mother knew someone who had grown up with Richard and was able to put me in contact with him. (I think I was about 11, circa 2001) Not only was I able to talk to him about how he became interested in doing voice work, but he sent me a signed Invader Zim poster! It said "To Erik, one of my favorite Human stink-beasts. OBEY THE FIST! -Richard Horvitz "I AM ZIM!!!" I *still* have that poster, framed, hanging next to my signed InuYasha poster.. oh to be 14 again.

Loved that game how he's just barking at you the whole way through.
