Dear Mr. Warner
Wow! I just stumbled across this! I had no idea it was your birthday! Well, if you read this one at all, I just want to say that I wish you an excellent 60th! Ever since I can remember I've always watched movies. When even at 5, I watched them obssesively. Ever since I can remember I loved doing voices. My ambition is acting. I would also love to do voice-over work as well. When I was really young I first saw you in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II. Of course, I had no idea who you were back then, but I remember that I loved your role very much. Like I said before I also love cartoons and the voice-over actors. That field, I think is highly over-looked. I remember I was watching the Batman cartoon and I heard you do Raesh Algul. I kept thinking to myself, He sounds familiar, where have I heard that voice? Over the next several years I heard even more of your voice, not knowing who it was drove me crazy but I loved your work all the same. Freakazoid, being one of my favorites. The Lobe always made me laugh. I tried watching for your name on the cast list but they flash them too fast for anybody to read. Then Titanic came out. You walked on the screen in the harbor scene and you said your lines. I said to myself, Oh my God! It's him! After that I kept waiting for you to come back on the screen. I even think there was a deleted scene of you in there that I've been trying to track down for sometime now. My friend got impatient with me as I waited for the credits to show who you were. I finally found out who you were and I searched for and learned more and more about your work. I saw Planet Of The Apes yesterday. When I heard that you were going to be in it I was psyched. Especially when I heard you were going to be an ape. I waited for you to come on screen. Then, when I heard the voice, I knew it was you. Your prescence is amazing. I wish you had a little more screen time though. And the makeup! They did an excellent job! It was so believeable. That has to be one of my favorites now. That had to be fun. I heard that many people had to wake up at 3 am and had to be ready to start shooting in the morning. Still, if I got the chance to do that, I think I'd take it. Through you I also discovered the late, Roddy Mcdowall who like you, was also a very big inspiration to me. Both in Planet Of The Apes, both of you are some of my favorite voice-over actors, and both of you were villains in Batman. I always thought that was funny. I always keep trying to learn from actors like you. The ones with range. Usually character actors. I feel I've learned the most from them. One of the many reasons I like you is that you are a sport. You try whatever is thrown at you and you give it your all. You act to act. That hits home in my book Mr. Warner. You're probably one of the main reasons I do what I do now. I audition for plays nearly every chance I get. I can change my appearance very easily and my voice now. I've worked on that throughout the years.( I always act out scripts and different characters and voices when I'm alone. People think I'm crazy sometimes.) Without you I probably would still be trying to look for something to do. Anyway, I just wanted to say that. I'm glad I had this opprotunity to write this. I've been looking for a fan mail address for sometime now. No matter how the industry treats their most valuable people I just want you to know that you have many fans and that you have not only been an inspiration to me but to many aspiring young actors. Thank you Mr. Warner, for so many years and so many unforgettable roles. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for reading this far! A very happy birthday and may God bless you in your future endeavors. Once again,thanks for reading this far.

Sincerely,
Brian Dippold
