Neil  was thrilled to say YES when producers of the cult hit "Robot Chicken" asked him to play in their sandbox as the LEADER of GI JOE EXTREME and Hogwart's beloved headmaster, ALBUS DUMBLEDORE;

And also resonating with his corp of followers, are many of his vocal performances on the television classic, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
