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:

Lady Jaye is the voice of Onstar. That is almost enought to make me want to buy a GM.

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. ;-)
