As a kid I never knew his voice was an act and that he was putting it on for show. He hated breaking character and I think there are one or two clips of his real voice out there. He also appeared on TruTV World’s dumbest and was by far the funniest on that show.

He did a lot of side roles in various movies and animationsover the years

One of the more weird/infamous roles he's had is a fucking sentient smoke detector from a PSA about fire safety.
 
I can't fucking wait for people to say he deserved to die over insensitive over a decade old tweets about the Earthquake and Tsunami that hit Japan that year. It's gonna be so cool to see that guys. Rest In Peace though, Gilbert. You were a neat dude. Hope you can chill out with Robin and Norm and the others.

Why bother with tweets? I just linked his Howard Stern bit.

I'm pretty sure him and Jason Alexander did these as court mandated community service.
 
His roast of Roseanne Barr made me laugh so hard my ears were ringing for hours afterwards.

EDIT: I meant Joan Rivers, though the Roseanne roast was hilarious too.

He was also a cast member on SNL during one of its worst seasons and he mostly used his real voice in sketches. A few are on YouTube and the scripts are unfunny in ways that are hard to describe, but it's the clearest audio of his real voice that I know of.
