Zach Hoffman has been making a living  standing in front of a microphone for over 30 years. His humble beginnings as a voiceover artist was dubbing Spanish soap operas into English. He logged hundreds of hours at Paramount Recording Studios on Santa Monica Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood. His first real break came when Rudy Ferer had him audition for the dubbing of Ingmar Bergman’s “Fanny and Alexander”. From there Zack moved on to becoming the voice of Zartan on the original GI Joe cartoon series, and has never looked back.

Here's a scene of the two of their characters together:

They join Mark Bellomo (Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe), David Willis (Shortpacked.com), and Jason Loo (the3secondrule.com, CanJoeCon Artist), in meeting fans all day long at the 2010 CanJoeCon!

Please tell me that it's in Zach's contract to say "a gem of that size answers ALL my questions" at least once.  ;D

I've talked to him many times on the phone.... part of one of those calls he went into "Zartan mode" on his own... I'm sure if you ask him to during the Q&A, he'll happily do it. ;-)

Was that from the movie?
I recall that line. Second only to the lyrics from Cold Slither.
I guess he'll be joining us soon.
