@@Fartomicbomb There's a difference between liking something and making something that isn't special sound super special. If anything he should focus on something like "He recreated the old awesome voice perfectly, despite it being so long!" Or something, instead of platitudes.
@@Fartomicbomb It's not really special, it's just being a good actor, like a lot of other actors, and having a decent to good director to help get it right.
he has a completely different facial structure from the heavy, and yet perfectly captures his character in his face, it's incredible how well he's kept up his acting over the span of 15 years
women are cool and all but have you ever ran mindlessly with a baseball bat zoinked out of your mind after drinking radioactive waste disguised as an energy drink
I swear, hearing Heavy while watching a real Person speak feels so surreal, almost uncanny valley. You know its the voice actor, but it also is as if someone put the OG audio over an old man! Just gets to show how GOOD he still is with this voice, nearly 15 years later
It's the same any time Mark Hamill voices the Joker irl, or that infamous scene from Jennifer's Body with the voice actor for Patrick. Surreal and then some.
It's kinda the same of seeing the original image of mat pat where the sort of cutout originally came from like I swear it has to have been edited but it's not
You know how some time, you know someone whos big and you dont see them for years and years and you finally catch up and theyre now old and grey and lost loads of weight? It's like that.. the heavy has came out of retirement to relive his glory days from like 30 years ago
I said it to some friends a while back, but it doesn't feel like watching the voice actor for the heavy, it feels like watching a really good impersonator. The characters are so iconic and recognisable that part of me almost can't accept them as fake?
I don't know how to express my happiness seeing this, as a fan I get emotional seeing someone like him do something like this, even after years, we must elevate our voice actors and show our affection
A lot of times when he does heavy, he sounds strained and unnatural, almost like it's hurting. But this time he's definitely prepared and up for it! He absolutely killed it, and im glad hes doing it!
This profession you use so much of your body. Getting older as a voice actor is almost like getting older as a tradesman, your body just gives out on you.
@@thewillthewayyeah I heard a clip of Mel Blanc doing Bugs Bunny in his later years (1987 or something) and while he still did a good job you could tell his age was showing in his voice. In the 1989 Batman Betamax, I think it was Mel who did the voice for that “Warner Bros. Ball cap commercial” and it sounded like a granddad doing a Bugs Bunny voice
A lot of the time when he does it it’s in improvised settings like a con or whatever which is why it sounds that way. Usually in those situation they’re tired and are already talking a lot so its only natural they sound not up to snuff.
His voice is definitely much more aged and rougher, but it's still our dear Heavy in the flesh. Gary Schwartz is a legend amongst the fans for voicing a beloved gun toting mercenary.
I honestly prefer this performance from Gary. It feels similarly nonchalant as in the original but his tone definitely better conveys what heavy has done in his life
Tf2 is something special. A perfect storm, robust and iconic voice acting by a wonderful team, and a company willing to let the memes flow without copyright strikes. A whole culture sprung up from Valve games, I with they'd make more.
This video perfectly demonstrates that truly skilled voice actors have to get into character and be just as expressive as in any other acting medium. Well frickin done Gary, you deserve a sandvich.
thats one of the reasons TF2 lasted so long is every character feels very interesting not just as a game character but the actors themselves getting into it at well. this happened with po from kun fu panda as well. jack black got really into the character voice acting him and thats one of the reasons why the movies were so sucessful and why a clumsy panda works so well as an actually compelling protaganist. another instance is the vermintide games having really good voice acting with every character really feeling like an actual person with emotions even from just a few idle banter exchanges, exactly like how left 4 dead was.
I really do love how the VOs have been into the community lately, and its not just the ocassional nod to it or whatever but fully diving in by making videos like these and participating and its just overall so wonderfull to see play out
TF2 voice actors are such talented people and Gary Schwartz here is a clear example of that, I love them, and I really appreciate the awesome job they did for Heavy back on the day and here we have him still going at it and performing excellently, can't ask for more of him, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING HIM AND MAKING THIS PROJECT COME TRUE, I appreciate it so much as a part of this community that still lives on!
My sister actually got to recently meet all of the voice actors in Seattle. She said they had so much fun and they were all extremely kind and passionate people. And it’s insane to think how much they have contributed to my enjoyment over the years.
Well not all of them. Rick May sadly passed in 2020, Nathan Vetterlein has distanced himself from TF2 to pursue other things, and there's no way in hell Grant Goodeve would do this type of stuff. Still, good for her though.

This is probably the sweetest thing to come out of the TF2 sphere in a while. Actually gave me such a weird wave of nostalgia hearing him recite it all over again. Gary’s an absolute legend, and so are you dude for putting this together.
I just love the amount of love that is around TF2, it's a 16 year old game that is still beloved and cared for with anyone involved, from production to players.
I have watched this 3 times and have been smiling throughout each time. So awesome that Gary still has the voice down so perfectly after all this time. Great job everyone involved!
This dude is single-handedly holding the entirety of team fortress two together, he got all of the voice actors ( that are still alive, RIP Rick May) to play the game for the first time, and now he re-created meet the heavy with the actual voice actor
Heavy just doing job as best he can, is strong enough to carry whole community with one hand! But for real it's gonna be devastating when we lose this man, I feel like part of the soul of the community will go with him.
Can I just say how absolutely amazing this is to see. In a community about a 15 year old game that's completely abandoned by its creators, we can have the real, actual voice actors getting together with fans and creators to make shit like this. The fact that the community is big and passionate enough to a point where we can get something like this to happen is what's so special to me. Bravo TF2, you truly are one of the most special games ever
When I heard you guys got kicked out of the shoot location i was freaking DEVESTATED. I'm so glad you guys stuck with it and gave us this absolute gem.
@@TiernanHousman They filmed in an abandonned hangar and then there is a security guard thst showed up and informed that the hangar was bought by MICROSOFT and didn't want anybody in it before destroying it.
Gosh, this game will definitely never die, not with a fanbase and voice actors like these. It's so heartwarming to see. The fact that the cast is still so involved and willing to participate in making of something like this video is absolutely wonderful. It's like the characters themselves are not a distant image but instead so real and full of life. Thank you for this film, it sorta makes me feel at home. I might just love the mercs a little bit too much. Hope you guys had as much fun making this vid as we had watching it!
I know there's very little chance of ShorK seeing this, but I'm so grateful for what he's doing. Losing Rick May was such a devastating blow to the entire TF2 community, and it made us realize how talented, funny, and all of the TF2 voice actors really are. By making all these videos about the voice actors and inviting them to do recreations like this, ShorK is enabling us to never, ever take these legends for granted. Nathan Vetterlein, Rick May, Dennis Bateman, Gary Schwartz, Grant Goodeve, Robin Atkin Downes, John Patrick Lowrie, Jean-Benoît Blanc, Ashley Burch, and Ellen McLain: they've provided so much enjoyment, immersion, and comedy for one of the greatest games every made - and ShorK is blessing us beyond compare by showing us how special they all are.
This man just cooked a whole 5 Star meal course. I love that you're giving so much more recognition to the VA's and supporting them! Can't wait to see what comes next!
Tf2 voice actors are literally the most generous people i have ever saw. I mean they are literally ready to do anything to make the community happy. Thats why i have so much respect for these folks.
I just adore how all the mercs still act in character and just have fun together. All we miss is scout and engineer and almost the whole gang is here. If only rick may was here.
A lot has been said about his voice - but I want to praise his physicality in this scene. Even the way he sits down at 0:13 has that stilted jarring cadence the way very early SFM animations have. It's not smooth on purpose and it's so great.
I'm the RED Engineer dead on the ground at the end! What a fun shoot. All of those cosplayers are fantastic, and of course ShorK and crew and Gary knocked it out of the park
It's so amazing how identical but also how much better it sounds, you can hear his voice adjust more fluently and smoothly from the years of expirence, thank you so much for the amazing peformance you have given us for years gary.
Words can’t describe how awesome this is. He’s clearly even studied the video a few times to get the mannerisms down. And of course the editing is top notch.
Probably some of the kindest voice actors ever. You know they have fun doing this simply because after all these years their following grew, and grew and they love us just as much as we love them. Sincerely thank you Shork for organizing this stuff I think that I speak for all of us when I say that this is nothing short of fantastic.
I love that he shakes up his performance a bit to provide a new take on this old shining monument to his acting. He plays the Heavy more intimidatingly and threatening here as opposed to his more cold and direct responses to the interview in the original.
its so incredibly wholesome how proud gary is of the character he was part of bringing to life in tf2. he really loves the heavy and what valve created with his help
His voice as lead to the creation of an endless amount of memes and amazing animations over the years. And giving back to the community in these kinda ways just truly solidifies his absolute GigaChad status!👏
Your amazing dedication to TF2 and its community is what keeps it glowing with awesomeness like the Sun on a hot July summer afternoon. Keep up the great work ShorK and get yourself a beverage of your choice.
I can't imagine how taxing Heavy's voice is to his vocal cords. Legend. Especially since he's the mad man who made Demoman Scottish. We are forever in debt for putting the cherry on top of one of the most interesting characters in gaming history

I don't think we could... he can protect himself more than we ever could!
Can I just say how absolutely amazing this is to see. In a community about a 15 year old game that's completely abandoned by its creators, we can have the real, actual voice actors getting together with fans and creators to make shit like this. The fact that the community is big and passionate enough to a point where we can get something like this to happen is what's so special to me. Bravo TF2, you truly are one of the most special games ever
Oh snap gasworks park
Dayum.
When I heard you guys got kicked out of the shoot location i was freaking DEVESTATED. I'm so glad you guys stuck with it and gave us this absolute gem.
why'd they get kicked out?
private property stuff, yknow americans@@TiernanHousman
@@TiernanHousman I have a strange feeling that it had something to do with the giant minigun. XD
@@SeenAGreatLightlook at the vid a month ago
@@TiernanHousman They filmed in an abandonned hangar and then there is a security guard thst showed up and informed that the hangar was bought by MICROSOFT and didn't want anybody in it before destroying it.
Gosh, this game will definitely never die, not with a fanbase and voice actors like these. It's so heartwarming to see. The fact that the cast is still so involved and willing to participate in making of something like this video is absolutely wonderful. It's like the characters themselves are not a distant image but instead so real and full of life. Thank you for this film, it sorta makes me feel at home. I might just love the mercs a little bit too much. Hope you guys had as much fun making this vid as we had watching it!
I know there's very little chance of ShorK seeing this, but I'm so grateful for what he's doing. Losing Rick May was such a devastating blow to the entire TF2 community, and it made us realize how talented, funny, and all of the TF2 voice actors really are. By making all these videos about the voice actors and inviting them to do recreations like this, ShorK is enabling us to never, ever take these legends for granted.
Nathan Vetterlein, Rick May, Dennis Bateman, Gary Schwartz, Grant Goodeve, Robin Atkin Downes, John Patrick Lowrie, Jean-Benoît Blanc, Ashley Burch, and Ellen McLain: they've provided so much enjoyment, immersion, and comedy for one of the greatest games every made - and ShorK is blessing us beyond compare by showing us how special they all are.
I really admire his performance, even in his old age, he still got it. Mad to respect. 👑
This man just cooked a whole 5 Star meal course. I love that you're giving so much more recognition to the VA's and supporting them! Can't wait to see what comes next!
Tf2 voice actors are literally the most generous people i have ever saw. I mean they are literally ready to do anything to make the community happy. Thats why i have so much respect for these folks.
I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet… 1:13
This genuinely made me smile. It's so awesome seeing irl VA's interacting with the game's characters, we deffo need more of these
I just adore how all the mercs still act in character and just have fun together. All we miss is scout and engineer and almost the whole gang is here. If only rick may was here.
Who voices engi again? I forgor💀
Get the Luigi pat
@@Justice449 Engie's voiced by Grant Goodeve, but he was also voiced by Nolan North in _Expiration Date_
@@JetFalcon710 ah got it
anyone knows why no scout VA in the party?
A lot has been said about his voice - but I want to praise his physicality in this scene. Even the way he sits down at 0:13 has that stilted jarring cadence the way very early SFM animations have. It's not smooth on purpose and it's so great.
YES!!!!
The way he moved throughout the video I thought he was legit animated
Gary seems like such a kind, genuine person, I’d love to meet him some day

Many years later, Gary’s still got the Heavy spirit in him. Really love the guy still doing the voice till this very day.
i can feel the Heavy spirit coming inside me
It will be a very very sad day when he inevitably passes.
I teared up just listening to this. These voice actors.. They deserve the world and much more.
These legends are my childhood come true. Great job on the costume designs. Everyone 10 out of 10 round of applause.
I'm the RED Engineer dead on the ground at the end! What a fun shoot. All of those cosplayers are fantastic, and of course ShorK and crew and Gary knocked it out of the park
you lucky dogs! did you get to shake his hand?
1:16 That smile. That damn smile. That smile is EVERYTHING.
TF2 Heavy is so good he was made in real life, 16 years later and its still such a great vibe to hear these voice lines, props to Gary
I’m right above you. Don’t look up
dude you are everywere
Yup. lol
As someone who has known every word from the short by heart for 14 years, I am completely satisfied. This is perfect.
It's so amazing how identical but also how much better it sounds, you can hear his voice adjust more fluently and smoothly from the years of expirence, thank you so much for the amazing peformance you have given us for years gary.
I genuinely couldn't tell if it was the old voicelines or he is legit that good even after all this years, my God this man is talented.
Words can’t describe how awesome this is. He’s clearly even studied the video a few times to get the mannerisms down. And of course the editing is top notch.
“I’ve yet to meet one who can outsmart bullet”
Medic: “Are you sure about that?”
Dude, he is not only high quality VA but also great actor. Even after all these years
Probably some of the kindest voice actors ever. You know they have fun doing this simply because after all these years their following grew, and grew and they love us just as much as we love them. Sincerely thank you Shork for organizing this stuff I think that I speak for all of us when I say that this is nothing short of fantastic.
1:23
Family guy's dead pose lmao
1:25 dude I love the person who did the family guy death pose 😂
Gary is an absolute gem. You can tell how much he enjoyed performing this!
It’s nas tho
1:01 barely could tell the difference between the OG and that take, still shows that Gary still has it 14 years later.
I love that he shakes up his performance a bit to provide a new take on this old shining monument to his acting.
He plays the Heavy more intimidatingly and threatening here as opposed to his more cold and direct responses to the interview in the original.
I honestly like his performance in this one better than the original
dude his acting is so iconic and like the real animated short
its so incredibly wholesome how proud gary is of the character he was part of bringing to life in tf2. he really loves the heavy and what valve created with his help
His voice as lead to the creation of an endless amount of memes and amazing animations over the years.
And giving back to the community in these kinda ways just truly solidifies his absolute GigaChad status!👏
Was an honor to work on Gary's costume. Everything turned out so well!!
I love it when actors are so passionate for their characters.
Not only he still got it. He is willing to do this for fun. What a legend. We will always love this man, exactly how we will always love Heavy
Your amazing dedication to TF2 and its community is what keeps it glowing with awesomeness like the Sun on a hot July summer afternoon. Keep up the great work ShorK and get yourself a beverage of your choice.
I can't imagine how taxing Heavy's voice is to his vocal cords. Legend.
Especially since he's the mad man who made Demoman Scottish.
We are forever in debt for putting the cherry on top of one of the most interesting characters in gaming history
Vocal training means even in his old age it won't be anymore taxing now then 14 years ago.
