EDIT: To clarify, this is as opposed to going by ear and trying to replicate the originals, which ended up sounding 'off' or spoken slower . I feel it could've been more organic-sounding with a director.

He didn't clench his teeth for the new DN3D lines. He already got some of the lines wrong by saying "Alien Bastards" instead of "Alien Maggots" in Toxic Dump.

Personally I really wonder if going with the "non clenched teeth" voice wasn't the direction given to him, rather than his own idea. I mean, he does acknowledge the difference between the two Duke voices in the video and shows that he can still do the old one.
For one thing, re-doing the same lines the exact same way doesn't sound like a valid business practice, especially considering they let the players switch to the old lines at will anyway. It doesn't seem worth the cost. A better sound quality would be the only pro, and considering how other sounds sound in WT, they didn't seem to care too much about sound quality.
So the only reason that leave would be to make Duke sound more like new players know him, from DNF, how they think Duke should sound in the 21st century.
That or simply Randy giving a job to his pals.

He was publicised about when he was name dropped during the Gearbox lawsuit
And yeah, Jon really nails the Duke voice with that final "Make my day" line. Where the hell was that for World Tour?

He was imitating the voice that Broussard and Lani wanted for him under their direction which is why it sounds great. If he did that instead of what Gearbox lets him do all the time it'd be great.

It's because in DN Atomic it's used as an easter egg when you find the desk of "H. Callahan" (Dirty Harry) in the level Pigsty, but because Duke64 didn't have many of the levels from The Birth they used it as a weapon pickup line instead.

He was mentioned in the "Duke Nukem - History of a Legend" videos that Gearbox made prior to the DNF release. There was at least one picture of George in the first video of the series. But then, they also interviewed Scott Miller for the videos, and all that was prior to the 3DR/GBX lawsuit.

In what business exactly? Aside from Duke Nukem he's mostly a low key actor in video game voiceovers.
