Gilbert Gottfried

Gilbert Gottfried was an American comedian and actor known for his abrasive, deliberately grating voice and confrontational comedy style.

He voiced the parrot Iago in Disney's *Aladdin* and the Aflac duck in insurance commercials.

His comedy embraced tastelessness and shock value, famously testing the boundaries of what audiences would tolerate: He did a Gilbert Gottfried voice the whole dinner.
