Biography

C. Martin Croker is the voice of Zorak, that hateful green mantis that was originally a villain on the '60s cartoon, but has forever been enslaved to musical sidekick status on the celebrity talk show of sorts Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Croker studied art and got into animation with a couple other people to make SGC2C and its various incarnations (Cartoon Planet, Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak, and The Brak Show). He designed much of the original sets, made the cover art for the album releases, worked as animation director, and probably wrote some of the improvised dialogue. He's also the voice of another enslaved villain, the molten man Moltar, who's been relegated to the show's grumpy engineer. If you catch the opening bits of Adult Swim sister program Aqua Teen Hunger Force, you'll catch Croker as the voices of Dr. Weird and his assistant, Steve. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
