He wasn't just a typecast actor, either. He was also great in Galaxy Quest, Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy, Dogma, Robin Hood, and the Harry Potter movies, to name just a few. I just loved his wry delivery.

He was fantastic in Galaxy Quest. I love that movie.

Yes, it certainly is - I'm not giving you quantities of numbers, I'm giving you the actual numbers.

The anger that comes out of him is so relatable since we deal with offshore carriers who give us 17 character purchase order numbers on the few phone calls we get and it is this scene to a T

I used to work with a company that outsourced a lot of the coding to India - Aside from the 16 hour time difference, the accents on some of those guys made it very tough to understand them in meetings. They were all very nice guys and worked hard, but we discovered that we weren't saving all that much money as a lot of code they delivered had to be re-written.

Dealing with service I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to accents. If I can barely understand the "hello" portion of a call or an interaction I politely ask for someone else.

Sorry, Rogers, "Bethany in Kitchener" has the English skills of a wombat, I pay you too much a month for spotty cell service to spend time trying to figure that shit out.

I managed a CS team and project managed with our Indian Development team out of Hyderabad. for my CS team we hired dialect coaches to help them with Western Clients. A lot of our code is still being used today by companies like MGM Casino etc...

worked well.
