Filmography

Trivia

  • Welker also performed the voice of a character known as Doctor Claw. Years later this would come to be a fanbased appellation for the Temporal Cold War character known as Future Guy, due to the similarity of traits held in common between them such as distinctive distorted voices, and never showing their faces while simultaneously orchestrating the actions of their pawns as their own relative anonymity is maintained.
