McGyver

"The name's McGyver. Marty McGyver."

Yes it's the "Man of a Million Voices"TM.

Able to impersonate pretty much any man, woman, or child (and most birdsong) at the drop of a hat through his silky throat skills and the application of pressure to his pharynx, this man is a marvel.

But he is so much more than that, they say.

Give him a sheet of paper, a pen, and half an hour in a locked room and he'll knock you up a campaign that is unsurpassable for content, guile, and gumption. Give him two pens and it'll be twice as impressive.

There are few men at which I do doff my would-be cap, and McGyver is not one of them. But he's close.

Damned close.
