Notes
- During the audio commentary for "Beast Wars (Part 2)" on Madman Entertainment's Beast Wars Season 3 DVD, Gary's cell phone suddenly rings, forcing him to step outside.
- Chalk is the first (but not the only) actor to voice both an Optimus Prime and a Megatron (but in different series).
- He has voiced the current series' Optimus in more episodes than any other actor.
- His latest visual appearance was in the 2009 film Watchmen, in which he played an American general on the Nuclear war committee.
