His performance as both Heavy AND Demoman is just outstanding. When i hear these guys i just can't imagine them being voiced by one person.

[@sillylilstella]

DUDE IM THE SAME WAY the fact he voices 2 characters who are constantly interacting with each other and speaking at the same time and they sound SO DAMN DISTINCT and not at all like each other is so impressive. gary is such a talented actor

[@CesarGpe]

I find it amazing that when you raise the pitch of heavy's voice lines you can hear demoman's voice but still distinguish them apart from their mannerisms and general way of talking

[@IVEdge]

How did he make Demoman sound so black?

What a nice guy, i absolute love when he does demoman

[@rafacastillo9611]

He sounds so eloquent, so soft-spoken, the vibes are so different when he speaks normally compared to his heavy voice, its unreal to witness

[@hazzydahaka13]

Yeah see, outside of combat, Heavy is actually one of the most chill mercs of the bunch behind Engineer and tied with Sniper arguably (aside from the cold factor).

[@ReiCaixa]

The voice actors of TF2 are a gift. Sad that we're just now really interacting more with them, but great that we're doing it.

[@lessefrost]

I love that his two big passions are polar opposites. Speaking without physical performance and physical performance without speaking. Fun how it's all circular!

[@Endiiii]

I love how smart and passionate he is about it, what a treasure of a man.

[@cacodevidro9654]

It is so cool that they went beyond just asking about TF2 and actually got us to know Mr. Schwartz a little better.

[@Hevii_]

I fucking love this guy he voices one of my favorite characters ever.

That was a really great interview and video. Nice job Oris tv :)

[@OrisTV]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

[@Ghht4tu]

​​@@OrisTVHello Oris, I have a question, not related to the video at all, but I would like to ask you if you are still creating hats for TF2. You see, recently I started creating cosmetics for TF2 in Blender, but I don't know how to transfer them and give them a general class, and I think you could help me with this.

[@GeZz.]

what a freakin legend, he started low and now is high as heaven, what a guy i think he is my fav of the actors. i love them all, but this man, is the best

[@memeland4003]

I think it's funny how him and the TF2 VA are virtually immortal cause they'll Always be remembered via the game/memes

[@sillylilstella]

@@memeland4003 its kind of interesting how so many games these days will hire a list celebrities to do a subpar/decent job voiceacting a character, meanwhile TF2 took people who were effectively nobodies and turned them into celebrities

[@hatti...]

​@@sillylilstellaValve really does have an eye for talent and doesn't care about status

[@Dr.Oofers]

@@sillylilstellaThe same can be said for other Valve games. The people they hire usually have an acting career, but they aren’t as popular as the celebrities Hollywood or AAA studios typically hire. Also the fact they won’t be as expensive as typical celebrities.

[@TheImmediatePastPrez]

Fantastic interview. I really enjoyed hearing about his career outside of TF2. If I ever get the chance to meet him I intend to ask him about Silent Films since he's a fan of Buster Keaton

[@denizplays1307]

I've seen those mime clips in the past randomly but didn't noticed or realized that Gary was in it blew my mind back then when I found out later that Gary was doing the noises, like it was funny watching that one clip back then💕 Besides that Gary seems to be a nice fella and fun to talk to, glad he enjoyed it remaking the Meet the Heavy clip and all of that, I hope he really enjoyed his time! 💕

[@vixoxoaltf5188]

I love this, It's nice to have the voice actors doing QnA's and stuff but this is more genuine

[@Kingzcro]

Tell heavy that he is prettiest princess

[@MHzJr]

really well-spoken guy

[@sedox3145]

He's a great actor and showman. Also he's super sweet! I'm slowly growing to love him

[@xxthemasterloquendoxx4221]

these are the voice actor that I admire the most, ones you look at and hear talking and you can't hear any of their characters, but when they start acting, THEN you immediately recognize the character

[@namethefifth7315]

Truly inspirational 😢

[@slipipipi7971]

Gary actually is helping me to understand writing, a dream ive had for a long time.

[@teyyo9745]

The insight and inspiration put into not just tf2 but all of his other characters makes tf2 all the more special to me :)

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Weird to see Heavy put on such a convincing east-coast American accent!

[@garnetsmith1952]

Protect this man at all costs

[@isitonathroneofmethadone6563]

Such an amazing man, I hope he knows how much he is appreciated by people.

[@hjelsethak]

I desperately need to see Meet the Spy in live action

[@OrisTV]

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@walukirby]

That would need a replacement for soldier, scout and engineer sadly. Unless the scout is just Dennis Bateman with a mask of scout

[@taysworld1928]

⁠that would be hilarious

[@breadboy_0x0]

Your such a underrated KZbinr oris

[@OrisTV]

Thank you hahaha! I appreciate that you keep watching and im really glad you enjoy :)

[@cluelesscleo]

hell yea I’ve been wanting to hear more about his book that keeps popping up in the sandvich saga :] this was genuinely so nice to see, i am so excited and happy that we’re getting so much content from the tf2 voice actors I love them

[@mrbruhnie5137]

His voice is back! I remember last year? When he and most of the voice actors had that stream together, his and most of the voice actors's voice (except medic and sniper's) just wasn't the same as in the game and in the meet the videos but now, their voice is spot on again. I hope Valve will let them do something for TF2, even it's just taunt voicelines.

[@Adeptzed]

Gary is such a classy guy to walk us all through his life. Heavy and demo will always be amazing voices that will last forever!

[@waloogi6299]

This was really fun and it's also great to see what other projects Gary has worked on over the course of his career.

[@NookCatVA]

This is criminally underrated, nice video man! Gary's story is really interesting to listen to

[@googplusisawful1922]

fantastic video, loved it!! Thank you!! :D

[@candyvampire3393]

im so happy for this..! thanks for the video and Gary!

[@Joseplh]

The sheer irony of starting of as a mime and then becoming famous as a voice actor.

[@aaron6290]

Despite the silly characters he plays in TF2 , he’s one of the most interesting down to earth people I’ve seen in a while, wish I could meet this guy! And will definitely be reading his book 😊

[@testhekid]

this puts a smile to my face, youve come a long way oris, this is brilliant

[@kaylads]

Thank you for these videos! I love behind the scene stuff and I love learning more about the people who have brought my favorite characters to life!

[@OrisTV]

thanks for watching! i really appreciate that and a super happy you got that from the video!

[@Quantum8828]

I love Gary so much, He's written my favorite book and voiced my favorite character in my favorite video game. Great job to Gary for all he has accomplished and great job to you Oris for documenting this and making this video (:

[@nildzrecastellanos]

I don't recommend scrumpy. - Reverse universe Demoman

[@j.madelozo8222]

I just want him to say "That engineer is a bloody SENTRY! OOOOHOHOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

[@IVEdge]

Demoman by far has the best laugh. Heavy and Demo are so genuine.

[@lollikabosso.w.n7153]

Gary is treassure, and we can only wonder what had we done to earn this gift from goft

[@taklampan650]

Great interview!

[@someguywithacomputer69420]

Honestly think Gary and Rick would've been great friends, even besides the fact that they voice soldier and demo.

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

These VAs honestly have hearts worth more than $400,000 No wonder Medic likes them

[@stonedesert746]

I’m very confused on why this video hasn’t got at least half a million views this is beautiful I love this video nice job Oris tv

[@KevinTheFluffyWolfy]

This is awesome! I can’t believe you actually managed to interview him!

[@Andmau2552]

I thought he was pretty banged up for what I saw of him in the find the sandvich saga but god damn he is incredibly well spoken

[@quolack9479]

the signed poster I bought from him was 100% worth it

[@ninolloydbandiola5581]

i did not expect heavy, in costume, sounding like a fox at all lmfao

[@kiddreckless9964]

This voice actor is amazing and he seems like a splendid person to just conversate with!

[@B0xF0xplays]

he looks so old and yet he sounds like 20 - 30 or something

[@MarceloOliveira-ho7si]

as someone who already knew how to make a heavy impression, i see this as a big W

[@ALPHAWOLFE1337]

Well I'll just come out and say it, if we ever get the Heavy update, we better see a BLT added to the game

His normal voice is the Sniper but not Australian Also, god he's such a cool guy, looks like one of those people who's main go in life is to make people around him smile and laugh

[@TheBcoolGuy]

So he sounds like John Patrick Lowrie?

[@nevr4give220]

I can feel how he lights up when his book was mentioned AND that the guy actually read it a bit too.

[@SpellSteal]

woah. sounds like chuck from better call saul.
