Hey, It's That Voice!/A to D

A

 * Jensen Ackles
 * Jensen Ackles, usually known as Dean Winchester in Supernatural is also the Red Hood in Batman: Under the Red Hood.
 * And Gibson in Tron Evolution.


 * Don Adams
 * Don Adams of Get Smart fame provided the voice for the remarkably similar title character Inspector Gadget. When I found this out as a child, I was overjoyed.
 * Adams' credits also include voicing Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, another character the not-so-young might remember from their youth.


 * Charlie Adler
 * Played a baby dragon, a boy rabbit, two big-headed toads, a cow, a chicken, a baboon and a guy who never wears pants. He also played an omnicidal shapeshifting alien and a a dastardly backstabbing alien robot.
 * He was also an alien robot in a past life as well, but that one was less backstabbing and more afraid of heights.


 * Pamela Segall Adlon
 * Pamela Segall Adlon is pretty much who you go to if you need a gravelly voice for a pre-pubescent boy, though she voices girls very well as well. Bobby Hill of King of the Hill, Otto from Time Squad, Milo from The Oblongs, Shinra from Final Fantasies X and X-2, Spinelli from Recess, Andy from Squirrel Boy (and, while we're on that, Kurtwood Smith would probably count, too), Ket from Kiki's Delivery Service, Pajama Sam, Vidia in the Tinker Bell movies and the titular character from the Arthur computer games by Microsoft.


 * Marc Alaimo
 * Besides being a (magnificent) bit part actor, he's also "that voice" of Reverend Ray Mc Call in the video games Call of Juarez and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.
 * He also voiced the Dean of the Secret Order of Dirty Joke Writers in the Family Guy episode "The Splendid Source".


 * Lori Alan
 * Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has The Boss, voiced by Lori Alan, who's much more recognizable for her work in various TV commercials, such as Sears and JCPenney. I get nostalgic visions of pillows and bed linens every time she opens her mouth, which could be a bit narmy when she's telling you how to grab someone by surprise and take them down with an extra-violent handshake.
 * She also voiced Pearl from SpongeBob SquarePants, Felina Feral in Swat Kats, and Diane Simmons (as well as various bit parts) in Family Guy.


 * J. Grant Albrecht
 * Although Crypto sounds like Jack Nicholson, he doesn't voice him. The End does.


 * Alan Alda
 * Listening to the audiobook edition of World War Z, one may be surprised during the credits to realize that "That guy who sounds like Alan Alda" actually is Alan Alda.


 * Yuu Asakawa
 * Yuu Asakawa's fairly deep voice is pretty recognizable, especially as the fairly quiet, occasionally badass servant spirit Rider, and the fairly quiet, occasionally badass schoolgirl Sakaki. Or Chou'un Shiryuu, who is not using her eyes too much like Rider.
 * Or if you want her in 'alluring, seductive mode', look no further than two of GONZO's mecha anime, she is the voice of both 'seductress' blonde with either giant boobs to squeeze your head or outfit so sexy it hurts: Mizuki Tachibana, Jura Basil Elden and Motoko.
 * You can also hear her sing anything in both English and Japanese as Megurine Luka.


 * Ed Asner
 * Ed Asner, who upon entering the field of voice acting has managed to appear in Freakazoid!, The Boondocks, Batman the Animated Series, Spider-Man the Animated Series, Gargoyles, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, and Jonny Quest the Real Adventures, all essentially voicing the exact same character: Ed Asner.
 * ...and Granny Goodness in Justice League. Who's still essentially Ed Asner.
 * And now Pixar's Up.
 * He's also Master Vrook.
 * Actually, he plays against type in The Boondocks, as the evil Ed Wuncler, Sr.
 * Not so much. Looten Plunder is probably in the family tree somewhere.


 * Rene Auberjonois
 * Wasn't that uppity Earth Nation refugee with the long white beard Odo?
 * He was also the cowardly War Minister Qin, and the wacky Mechanist who invented the hot air balloon.
 * You may also recognize him as Desaad, Galius, or Kanjar-Ro.
 * He's also over 250 years old and commands an army of robots.
 * And Chef Louis from The Little Mermaid.
 * And a German assassin with a baby-obsessed younger girlfriend.
 * Didn't he teach Omi for a while? (for the first season anyway)


 * Eleanor Audley
 * You know her as Lady Tremaine and Maleficent. She also provided the voice for Madam Leota in The Haunted Mansion ride at the Disney Theme Parks.


 * James Avery
 * The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Uncle Phil is also Shredder from the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
 * And Gor the gorilla in Captain Simian and The Space Monkeys.


 * Greg Abbey
 * Brandon [not Sky! Stella's boyfriend!] in the 4Kids! Entertainment dub of Winx Club.
 * Tristan Taylor in Yu-Gi-Oh!. 4Kids dub, of course.
 * I swear I once saw a gum commercial where he was narrating. I'd automatically turn my head because.....hey, Tristan!
 * He's now working for the TLC channel for their promos.


 * Greg Ayres
 * This trope must happen a lot with Greg Ayres. As an adult actor that just happens to have a naturally high voice, if ADV Films has a boy (or child-like male) they need to be filled (particularly if it'd be a challenging role for an actual child)? Chances are he will play it. In fact, he's so well known for playing these sorts of roles that he tends to encounter disbelief when he says he's the gravelly-voiced Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers.

B

 * Jim Backus
 * The first time this happened for me was when his four-year-old brain tried to wrap around the "fact" that Mr Magoo and Thurston Howell III of Gilligan's Island were the same person---when your vision is bad and you've got paragnosia, voices are most of how you identify people and other persons.
 * Backus also lent his voice to the Genie in the Bugs Bunny cartoon A-Lad-In His Lamp.
 * He was also the voice of a friendly sewer rat in an 80s anime cartoon: "The Enchanted Journey".


 * Diedrich Bader
 * Batman is Hoss Delgado and Oswald.
 * He also played the much more toned down Zee in The Zeta Project.
 * I keep waiting for the episode where Batman sends the villains to "federal pound you up the ass prison."
 * He's also Tank Evans.
 * And he teaches Rex Kwon Do.


 * Laura Bailey
 * Upon hearing Kuro's voice in the English dub of Kurokami, I thought, "Wow...Raspberyl can really kick some ass!"
 * Really? I was thinking Marta Lualdi.
 * If not her, then Sana Kurata, maybe.
 * Try Keiko Yukimura. First time I ever heard her voice.
 * Tohru of Fruits Basket as well. Laura Bailey is good at the sweet girl role, and she doesn't have a very wide range it appears, so easily recognizable. Not counting Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist.
 * I would highly disagree about her "not having a very wide range". Though her voice is pretty recognizable once you realize where her ranges are ("Sweet girl", "Lust", and "Shin-chan" ranges...and then there's Kaine in Nie R, holy crap...)
 * She started out as Kid Trunks and went on to do Evangeline A.K. McDowell.
 * She was Ayaka Yukihiro in Negima too; I don't know about you, but I couldn't tell they were the same person just by listening. Girl's got talent.
 * Proves she can pull off some hammier roles too with Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4. The character herself is not a Large Ham most of the time, but Laura was clearly having a lot of fun during the 'King's Game'.
 * Rise, meet Minako Arisato. Minako, Rise.
 * Say whatever you want about the Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love trailer, but the narration is the last thing I needed to determine if I would pre-order.
 * I did not care about Soul Eater until I was asked to listen to the English trailer and pay attention to Maka's voice.
 * According to her official site, she's playing Serah from Final Fantasy XIII. I think it's rather sweet that Laura's actually three years younger than Ali Hillis (the voice actress playing Lightning).
 * She also played the part of the Cloud of Darkness in Dissidia Final Fantasy.
 * Laura Bailey is also the lovable Shin from the Funimation Dub of Crayon Shin-chan.
 * Also Chun Li in Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter 4 and the female!Courier (who oddly sounds like Lust) and an NCR commander in Fallout: New Vegas.


 * Adam Baldwin
 * Jayne Cobb voiced Superman: Doomsdayman, and did a few bit characters in Halo 3 (where he even says "Say Hello to Vera!") and Half-Life 2.
 * He's also voicing the Heavy Weapons soldier in Halo 3: ODST.
 * He's a quarian marine in Mass Effect 2. "They just pay me to shoot things."
 * He also voiced Finn.
 * He's currently the voice of Breakdown.


 * Christian Bale
 * Howl in Howl's Moving Castle


 * Dee Bradley Baker
 * Speaking of American Dad, turns out Klaus is voiced by Viewtiful Joe.
 * And Gravemind. Yes, a talking German goldfish is voiced by the same guy that voiced the Hive Mind of the most horrible thing in the galaxy.
 * Who, on the other hand, also voiced a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of ACSHUN!
 * Basically, if you want an animal noise, you get Baker. Even if they happen to be a ten ton flying hybrid that laughs in the face of god, or a mutated scorpion humanoid.
 * And hell, even aliens aren't off limits.
 * He also voices Bone Hunters and the Skrall in Bionicle as well.
 * He also voices every Clonetrooper in Star Wars: The Clone Wars from Commander Cody to Captain Rex, to the unnamed Red Shirt clones and manages to each one sound like individuals. The episode Rookies centered around Cody, Rex and a whole squad of clone troopers is a tourdeforce for Dee.
 * He's also the voice of Olmec (the giant talking head) in Legends of the Hidden Temple.


 * Troy Baker
 * The very moment I heard Troy Baker as Schneizel el Britannia, the first thing that came to mind was Colonel Frank Archer.
 * I choked on my drink when I realized that Gennosuke was also Father Abel Nightroad.
 * I mistook Gennosuke's VA for Crispin Freeman. I had to check the credits to make sure it wasn't and was in disbelief!
 * The same for Regal Bryant.
 * I can't vouch for how similar they sound (having never played Bleach: Shattered Blade), but finds it rather interesting that Li Xingke's English VA is apparently the same one that played Grimmjow Jaegerjacques.
 * I still have difficulty reconciling Schneizel el Britannia with Kanji Tatsumi from Persona 4.
 * Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia has the same VA as Markus Vaughn from Trauma Center and Matt Baker (fittingly enough, because tha VA's name is Troy Baker) from the Brothers in Arms series.
 * One day, I was watching Crayon Shin-chan and after the end credits, I cracked up at the fact that Schneizel el Britannia was Action Bastard!!
 * Also Excalibur


 * (Long) John William Baldry
 * I watched ReBoot and was surprised to hear Dr. Robotnik's voice coming out of Gavin Capacitor's mouth...both are voiced by the late Long John Baldry, and both also happen to be Large Hams who sport long red mustaches.
 * I guess he did give himself a prrromotion!
 * There's another joke we could make here, but it would just be in bad taste. So don't you dare make it, you...you....


 * Kathleen Barr
 * When this troper first watched Make Way For Noddy, his jaw dropped when Martha Monkey spoke with the exact same voice and enthusiasm as Wheezie from Dragon Tales.


 * Dante Basco
 * Dante Basco voiced Zuko and Jake Long, fueling shipping fantasies everywhere.
 * Ru...fi...O!
 * Who would have thought Zuko could dance? He played one of the Dungeon Kids, Ramos, in Take the Lead!
 * Why did This Troper find that pouty Oranyan voice so familiar when Aion's English beta came out? Because it's Prince Zuko, of course!
 * I'm a little ashamed to say I recognized him, not as Rufio, not as Zuko...but as Corey from "Extreme Days". Yeah, that christian Romantic Comedy about extreme sports. I saw it in my youth group in high school, as my church had actually received a free copy.
 * I think for me the height of awkwardness was hearing a random cocoon resident in FFXIII speak in Zuko's voice. I burst out laughing at how silly that association was.
 * How 'bout the time he played a homosexual varsity wresler?Anyone?


 * Emily Bauer/Blau/Jenness
 * Megumi Morisato shares a voice with Dawn and Cynthia.


 * Eric Bauza
 * Slip and Slide are Randolfo Rivera (a hero) and Lord Stingray (a villain)


 * Michael Bell
 * Michael Bell, who plays Raziel in Legacy of Kain has also done the voicework for The Fear, Peter Jacob (and uncredited ingame and cutscene voicework for Maximillian Roivas, but not the autopsies), Haer'Dalis, amongst many many other roles.
 * Two I have to mention, one live action : Animated : Lance of the Lion Voltron ; Live : The amoral souvenir selling chopper pilot in a Mash episode "Souvenirs". Hearing his voice on that ep drove me crazy 'til I made the connection.
 * Dark Fact in ''Ys I and II.
 * He's also done multiple roles in the Ratchet and Clank games.
 * This Troper couldn't help but laugh when he heard the Captain Qwark vidcomic narrator use the same voice as Medivh, the Last Prophet from Warcraft 3.
 * He's also in the two-part first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Encounter at Farpoint" as Groppler Zorn.
 * Don't forget he's our favorite man of action/coma victim Duke in G.I. Joe.
 * And Bruce Banner from the 80's Incredible Hulk cartoon.
 * Several voices in Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror.
 * Not to mention Drew Pickles, Chaz Finster, and Grandpa Boris on Rugrats.
 * He also, in a Christmas special, provided the voice of everyone's favorite neurotic penguin from the funny pages


 * H. Jon Benjamin
 * H. Jon Benjamin as Coach McGuirk, Carl, a giant moth monster (man),The Devil, even an omnipotent master who hides in a necromancer's daughter's closet...
 * When I watched Martin And Orloff I heard his voice knew I had heard it somewhere before. I was happy to finally put a face to the voice of Benjamin Katz.
 * Um, Archer, anyone?


 * Jeff Bennett
 * This guy is in goddamn everything. Among his many credits are The Batman, Dave the Barbarian, Freakazoid!, Gargoyles, Johnny Bravo, and The Spectacular Spider-Man. In Gargoyles alone This Troper is fairly confident he played just about every incidental character that wasn't a woman.
 * To make things a bit clearer, this is the guy who voices Brooklyn, Owen Burnett, The Joker, Montana/ Shocker, Johnny Bravo, Peppermint Larry, Prowl, Azmuth, Ghostfreak, and even "Massa Colonel" Lynchwater from The fucking Boondocks! And Candle Jack, too.
 * And Kyle freaking Katarn in Jedi Outcast.
 * Strakk and Tarix in BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn
 * And the stars of both of The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show's back segments, Pith Possum and Tex Tinstar.
 * Huntsman in American Dragon: Jake Long.
 * Petrie in all The Land Before Time movies after the first.
 * Xan in Baldur's Gate.
 * If you hear a character on just about any cartoon who sounds like Christopher Walken, chances are you're hearing Jeff Bennett.
 * Boog in Fanboy and Chum Chum.
 * Kowalski (and several other recurring characters) on The Penguins of Madagascar.
 * Dorkus in Planet Sheen.


 * Jodi Benson
 * If you're one of the rare people who watched the '90s Spider-Man cartoon BEFORE Disney's The Little Mermaid, you're not going to be able to NOT think Ariel fell in love with Spidey. She even has red hair!
 * Jodi Benson also voiced Millenia in the RPG Grandia II: A sassy (and demonic) redhead with a taste for men.
 * She even has a memorable cameo in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
 * And she's Tour Guide Barbie in Toy Story 2 (who, in the obligatory gag-reel outtakes at the end, complains about having to be smiling and perky all the time).
 * And, by extension, Barbie in Toy Story 3.
 * She was also Tula in The Pirates of Dark Water.


 * Gregg Berger
 * Orson Pig was the voice of the Gromble. Who knew?
 * Also the voice of G1 Grimlock and The Pain.
 * Huh, Jecht sounds kinda familiar... Wait, he's Hunter the Cheetah?!


 * Paul Bettany
 * Silas? What are you doing working with Tony Stark? (Paul Bettany did both Silas and Jarvis).


 * Martin Billany (LittleKuriboh)
 * He did the descriptive audio tracks for the Disney Star Wars films (really!). Here's a sample of his voice describing a scene from The Last Jedi.
 * He also voiced Moonlight Knight in Sailor Moon Abridged. Even with a fake Indian accent, he's still recognizable. Watch a sample from episode 48/49.


 * Beau Billingslea
 * Provided the voice for Jet Black in the dubbed version of Cowboy Bebop, as well as characters in Naruto, Samurai Champloo, Wolfs Rain, Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex (and others). He's also done voices for many video games, such as Dynasty Warriors, Kingdom Hearts II, and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.
 * Bleach anime episodes 118-119. When I heard the voice of Arrancar 13 (Edorad Leones), I said "How did Jet Black become an Arrancar?"
 * Also did narration for some of The History Channel programs. "Jet Black is talking about history!"


 * Amy Birnbaum
 * Of particular note here might be the voice actress Amy Birnbaum. If nothing else, she's definitely not typecasting herself, having played many varying types of character. Her list to date includes Tea Gardner in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lilly in Shaman King, several characters in Sonic X including anime-exclusive character Cosmo, Stella in Winx Club, Scarlett and the Baroness in G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 and probably a few others we're not aware of.
 * Didn't she voice Charmy Bee from Shadow the Hedgehog onward?


 * Claudia Black
 * Provides the voice for Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins.
 * Also the voice for Chloe in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
 * And Steel Angel Michael (and the opening onmyoujii payer) in the English Steel Angel Kurumi dub.
 * Voices a quarian admiral, a Cool Old Lady, and a messenger for the Rachni in Mass Effect 2.
 * Cast as the voice of Samantha in the upcoming Gears of War 3


 * Mel Blanc
 * If you've watched a lot of Looney Tunes shorts you could pick up Mel Blanc's voice almost anywhere, for example Private Snafu, Secret Squirrel, and Heathcliff sound like Bugs Bunny, Mr. Spacely sounds like Yosemite Sam, Barney Rubble sounds like Hugo the Abominable Snowman and Hula Hoop sounds like Marvin the Martian.
 * In addition to being the voice of just about ALL the classic Warner Bros animated characters (except Elmer Fudd and the ones voiced by June Foray, Stan Freberg, Bea Benaderet, or Billy Bletcher), he was Twiki the robot, Tucker the mouse, Speed Buggy, Jack Benny's famous Maxwell car, The Monkees' car, and dozens more.
 * He also voiced the father of Bob and Doug McKenzie in Strange Brew.


 * Brian Blessed!
 * The game may not have been great, and the actor could've been missed due to his uncharacteristic un-hammy performance; but the Admiral in Warhammer 40,000 Firewarrior was voiced by BRIAN BLESSED.
 * The villianous Clayton in Disney's Tarzan is BLESSED-- as is the Tarzan yell, as Tarzan's regular voice actor couldn't do it vigorously enough!
 * BLESSED voices Boss Nass, too!
 * And now, he's in your GPS, too!

""Bang.""
 * Steve Blum
 * All life on Earth.
 * You want vocal range? Steven Blum is Orochimaru and Killer Croc.
 * Despite working under several different aliases, David Lucas / Steven Jay Blum / Spike Spiegel's voice is always recognizable when voicing adult male characters, (though he does have a significant range outside of that).
 * Exception: Leeron.
 * It's JP sounding much more suggestive than he should.
 * Or Jamie, but even shriller (Monkey thing!)
 * Leeron aside, I have had repeated notable experiences with Hey, It's That Voice! humbly deemed "Blum Moments", tending to not expect it: Strait Jacket, Code Geass, the Street Fighter Alpha movie, Wolverine... he also just had to pull a Spike in his farewell to Toonami.

""Oh thank heaven.""
 * Since Blum does so many kinds of voice acting, it's always weird to hear Spike or Todoh try to sell me something in a TV commercial.


 * Steve Blum is the voice for Captain Bartlett in Ace Combat 5. So, essentially, you're flying wingman for Spike Spiegel...
 * He's also in a number of anime series (I have ID'd a naval officer in Ghost in the Shell and a random merc in Anime/Trigun) and as the commander in Company of Heroes and Star Wars: Empire At War. A quick browse of his IMDB page shows that he has been rather busy over the years...
 * It's a rarity these days to find an anime or game without Blum's voice acting, that's how prolific he is. Off the top of my head, he also voices at least 5 characters in the .hack games (both series) and Daelan Red Tiger in the original Neverwinter Nights campaign. She also did a facepalm upon recognizing him as the voice of Wolverine in the original X-Men Legends game.
 * "One chance is all I need."
 * I, out of nostalgia, popped in the original Rugrats game for the PS 1 when my friends came over. When I was playing the final level as Reptar, the reporter voiceover sounded oddly familiar. Checked the credits, saw Steve Blum, laughter ensued.
 * I was incredibly surprised when I heard The Green Goblin in the phenomenal new Spectacular Spider-Man series, that has a laugh that is equally as disturbing as Mark Hamill's as The Joker, was the gravelly Steve Blum.
 * One of the reasons this Troper loved Flamedramon so much.
 * Steven Blum has also been the voice of Vincent Valentine.
 * He also voices Ulquiorra in Bleach: Shattered Blade, the video game for the Wii. Sadly he didn't stay in the anime.
 * You'd never guess it, or at least I didn't, but he plays Falcomon in Digimon Data Squad. The thing that makes it unbelievable is that he uses an English accent.
 * Oh, by the way...
 * I cannot watch The Big O because it's way too distracting. (Interesting note, though: if you put Faye in a suit and give her a bleach job, you get Angel!)
 * Kazuma from S-Cry-ed.
 * Makoto Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin.
 * Blum also voiced the guards in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. This Troper always found it funny to imagine Snake fighting off a bunch of Spike Spiegel clones. Hell, it might have made for a better game.
 * For a good laugh, play STALKER: Clear Sky, Steve Blum with a very heavy Russian/Ukrainian accent.
 * He shows up as soldiers in a whole bunch of first person shooter games, perhaps most notably Captain Foley in the original Call of Duty. If you need some soldier voices for your shooter game he's apparently the go-to guy in the industry. This can result, as in Quake IV, in encountering Steven talking to himself or walking out of a room containing one Steven to be instantly confronted with another. He is everywhere. Always watching...
 * This troper was surprised to find him as the voice of Grunt.
 * In another Bioware Title, he voices Oghren in Dragon Age, and returned in its expansion. That's a main character. God knows where he finds the time to do everything he does.
 * He's also Andrei, the unsetting Tzimisce elder in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. If you listen carefully you can tell it's him, but it might not be obvious at first.
 * His Zabuza Momochi is identical to his Wolverine voice.
 * Don't forget, he voiced all the G-Men...
 * This troper was delighted to find Blum voicing Barricade in Transformers: War For Cybertron.
 * He also does the voiceover for the beginning of each chapter of the campaign.
 * And he'll be Starscream in Transformers Prime.
 * He also voices Grayson Hunt
 * He now voices the Red Skull in Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes, meaning he now has had the honor of voicing two of Marvel's Complete Monsters. The Other being Green Goblin of course.
 * He also did the voices of Vilgax, Heatblast, and "baby Heatblast" (at least) in the original Ben 10.
 * Ares, the titular God of War.
 * Dark Star, the Top Ranked Assassin in "No More Heroes".
 * He is the ass-kicker Taskmaster to your ass-kickee.
 * He puts on an Australian accent as John Sinamoi from Dead Island.
 * He is the baddest mofo in town, the all-powerful breakdancing Edo period samurai Mugen.
 * The Shadow Broker is...Spike Spiegel?
 * He's a German archaeologist in The Dig, but may be more recognizable as the tracking station guy in the intro, and.
 * The title character from Great Teacher Onizuka.
 * You can add Cliff Hudson and Roger Hall from Dead Rising to the list.


 * Tom Bodett
 * Tom Bodett is somewhat known as a radio personality, very well known as the voice of Motel 6 commercials ("We'll leave the light on for ya."), and also the narrator of several Animaniacs segments ("Good Idea, Bad Idea", "Mime Time", and The Movie, Wakkos Wish).


 * Jessica Boone
 * Jessica has a "kind, but shy & unconfident young girl" voice that she used for Misaki Suzuhara and Azmaria Hendric.
 * She was also the rather more self-assured Nayuki Minase in Kanon.
 * Now that you mention it, Arumi Asahina does sound like Chiyo-chan if she were older and had an Osakan accent...


 * Powers Boothe
 * Powers Boothe played the visionary genius Gorilla Grodd on Justice League, then was an ambitious politician on 24. It's funny to hear Grodd trying to govern the country.


 * David Boreanaz
 * I thought Leon Squall in Kingdom Hearts sounded awfully damn familiar and couldn't figure out why. It got to the point where it was driving me nuts, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and was all Hey! No wonder- it's Booth and Angel!
 * He also did the voice for Hal "Green Lantern" Jordan in 2008's Justice League: The New Frontier.


 * Ernest Borgnine
 * This Oscar-winning actor IS Mermaid Man on SpongeBob SquarePants and knows EEEEVILLLLLL!!!!!


 * Johnny Yong Bosch
 * Ichigo Kurosaki, Vash the Stampede, Itsuki Koizumi, and Lelouch Lamperouge are all voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, the main differences being they are angry, goofy, calm, and... a strange combination of the first and third, respectively. You might also remember him from his live-action role of Adam Park.
 * Let's not forget Kiba, Renton Thurston, GuyNero (whom he also did the mocap for), Kaneda, Rossiu, Shuusuke Fuji, and Emil Castagnier. The last one is a weird case, in that he usually sounds like Renton, except when ; then he sounds like Ichigo/Lelouch.
 * The constantly suffering Albert de Morcerf from Gankutsuou and Adachi from Persona 4. He also provides the voice bits for the Main character.
 * He's also the voice of Rush Sykes.
 * And maggot-obsessed Reiji from Gate Keepers.
 * On the subject of Valkyrie Profile 2, HOW has NO ONE noticed Ichigo playing the role as a villain?
 * Go watch an episode of Trigun in the English version. Pay attention to Vash's voice. Then go play any of the three .hack//GU games, again in English. Surprise! Johnny Yong Bosch is there as well, playing another gun-toting, lovable character named Kuhn. The resemblance between the two is actually almost eerie.
 * He also played Archer and PJ in Ace Combat 5 and Zero respectively. They actually sound the same in both roles.
 * Strangely enough in Persona 4, I can recognize the usually cheerful Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss in Adachi, yet my sister can see that darker and rougher side of the former in the Protagonist.
 * And he's Firion in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Firion's voice is alternately a dead ringer for Ichigo or Lelouch, depending on the scene. It's uncanny, really.
 * He's recently been cast as Sasori, who sounds like an odd cross between Itsuki and Lelouch.
 * And he's even in Seirei no Moribito as the First Prince and some random mook. Made this troper think that every anime that is not dubbed by 4-Kids has to have at least him, Steven Blum, Vic Mignogna, or Yuri Lowenthal.
 * He's also two versions of the same historical figure and both tends to slaughter hordes of enemies.
 * And now, with Marvel vs. Capcom 3, he's Zero.
 * Izaya, anyone?
 * Not to mention all the roles he's played under the pseudonym Kevin Hatcher, such as Yuichi Taira in Paranoia Agent.


 * Chris Britton
 * Soichiro Yagami of Death Note is voiced by Chris Britton, who also voiced Mr. Sinister in the 90s animated X-Men series.


 * Andrea Bowen
 * And on the topic of FFVII, here's a weird internal one: In Advent Children there is a random little girl voiced by Andrea Browen, those who have played 'Crisis Core will recognize her as Aerith's new VA.


 * Clancy Brown
 * Clancy Brown you may recognize as Mr. Krabs.
 * Or Lex Luthor in the DC Animated Universe.
 * Or the Viking Hakon as well as Hakon's descendant Wolf from Gargoyles.
 * Or the prison guard from The Shawshank Redemption...
 * Or the Kurgan.
 * Or Brother Justin Crowe.
 * And he mercilessly hammers the imagination out of a certain famous cartoon brotherly duo. This Troper realized just a while back that it was Mr. Krabs and/or Long Feng who was doing this!
 * Or Long Feng. Or the Dark Dragon.
 * He's also the voice of Raiden in Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm - a role that was played by Christopher Lambert in The Movie.
 * And Captain George Stacy.
 * And Captain Black, Ratso, and Melvin the Moose.
 * And in a double shot, he voiced Career Sergeant Zim in the Starship Troopers animated series Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, *after* playing the role live in Verhoeven's film.
 * I found it disturbing that Mr. Freeze in The Batman was Clancy Brown, while the Penguin was Tom Kenny. So essentially, in one episode, SpongeBob was arguing with Mr. Krabs.
 * He was also the voice of Doctor Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot 2 to Crash Nitro Kart.
 * Gonta in Pom Poko.
 * And now Scourgelord Tyrannus sounding... exactly like Lex Luthor. Which is freaking scary.
 * Odin in Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes.
 * One-shot character Buck Rockgut in The Penguins of Madagascar. Recognized it right away since it's Mr. Krabs without the pirate accent.
 * He voiced Hank Anderson in Detroit: Become Human.


 * Corey Burton


 * Steve Burton
 * Considering the voice he uses for Cloud is his real voice, it's a bit... distracting every time Burton talks on General Hospital


 * Daws Butler
 * Numerous characters for numerous studios, including Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and Quick Draw McGraw for Hanna-Barbera; the Southern Wolf in Tex Avery's Droopy shorts for MGM; Chilly Willy and Smedley the Dog for Walter Lantz; and Aesop's son in the "Aesop and Son" sketches on Rocky and Bullwinkle. He also voiced Cap'n Crunch in commercials for many years.


 * Pat Buttram
 * Talk about an obscure one! Noted for his distinctive high-pitched voice, Pat, after starring in tv shows like The Gene Autry Show and Green Acres, lent his voice to numerous animated movies and tv shows. He was Napoleon, The Sheriff Of Nottingham, Luke, Chief, Cactus Jake, and one of the toon bullets who assists Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

C

 * Maria Canalis (Barrera)
 * It was quite a surprise to see Justice League Unlimited's Shayera in the credits for Wizards of Waverly Place, but at least I have hope now that an encounter with her mother's mace is in Alex' future....


 * Pat Cashman
 * Does anybody recognize the voice of the Super Smash Bros Brawl announcer? That is Pat Cashman, who is best known as the narrator / camera voice in Bill Nye the Science Guy.


 * Adriana Caselotti
 * During the "If I Only Had a Heart" musical number in The Wizard of Oz, Snow White is actually heard saying "Wherefore art thou Romeo" during the bridge.


 * Dan Castellaneta
 * Try watching the Genie in the series Spin-Off of Disney's Aladdin and NOT think of Homer Simpson.
 * One episode of The Simpsons had him reprise said role in one of Homer's dream sequences.
 * Also the titular character in the Earthworm Jim animated series.
 * And Doc Brown in the animated Back to The Future series - even though Christopher Lloyd still portrayed Doc in the live-action parts of the show.
 * Would you believe he did a voice in Link: Faces of Evil, identical to the one he uses for Barney?
 * As well as doing Earl from Cow and Chicken with the Barney voice, albeit higher-pitched.
 * Never eat raspberries, boys...
 * I think, therefore I am... I think.
 * Megavolt in Darkwing Duck.


 * Toran Caudell
 * King Bob and Wolfgang are the same person.
 * Also Arnold's original voice actor until he hit puberty.


 * Christine Cavanaugh
 * As long as we're on the subject of Sonic the Hedgehog, Christine Cavanaugh's divine drawl as Bunnie was pretty darn evident in her turn as Rugrats' Chuckie, just for starters. The only reason we don't hear more of her is her retirement a few years back.
 * She also guest starred on The X-Files.
 * Not to mention Gosalyn, Dexter, and Oblina.
 * Christine was the voice of Babe (the piglet).
 * Also voiced Marty Sherman, whose in-show father is another prime example of this trope.
 * She also voiced a chocolate-graham goldfish in a recent Goldfish Crackers commercial.


 * Daveigh Chase
 * Demonic Creepy Child Samara, Donnie's sister Samantha in Donnie Darko, and creepy child bride Rhonda in Big Love is also the naive Chihiro and slightly Heroic Sociopath -ic Lilo and Stitch - within the same year no less.


 * Isshin Chiba
 * If you ever wonder why Tekken's Jin has such a familiar Evil Laugh, you've probably played the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure arcade fighter: both are voiced by Chiba Isshin, who is so good that he pulled off the Kiai without any modification.


 * Minori Chihara
 * Yuki Nagato sounds exactly like Minami Iwasaki.
 * And a little like Chiaki Minami.
 * Touka Ryuumonbuchi doesn't sound like either though.


 * Luci Christian
 * Serizawa from the English dub of Pani Poni Dash! and Asuna Kagurazaka from the English dub of Mahou Sensei Negima have exactly the same voice.
 * She also plays at least four insane villains: Medusa, Despara, Mariko, and Ophelia.
 * This troper almost choked when he recognized Medusa's voice actress saying "Cat Monster".
 * What about Yukari-sensei?
 * She also was the English VA for Cassandra Jill Warlock


 * Cameron "Cam" Clarke
 * Cameron Clarke, most famous for his role as Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid, voices so many characters in so many games that it's slightly surprising to play an RPG without hearing his voice somewhere along the line. Hell, he is this trope.
 * He works okay as an elf, a sorcerer and a space mummy, but.
 * As a Turtle on the other hand, he's perfect.
 * And as a smarmy Sith arbiter, hoo boy.
 * When he played the Manaan Sith guard, he was Liquid.
 * Too bad his role as Simba in Kingdom Hearts wasn't too great.
 * I had considerable trouble taking Andrei Ulmeyda in Killer7 seriously at first...because he was a black man with an afro and a bright yellow shirt who spoke in the exact same tone of voice as Liquid. That may have been intentional, though.
 * When you hear Juji Kabane's voice in Gungrave: Overdose, you're hearing an angrier, slightly Blood Knight-y Kratos. I was sad when Juji didn't yell, "JUDGEMENT!" or "Don't overdo it--FIRST AID!"
 * He also voices an NPC that appears close to the end of Chapter 12 of Final Fantasy XIII.
 * And let's not forget that he's the Geohound Ryudo in Grandia II.
 * In a case of Talking to Himself, he also plays Father Carius, the priest of Granas who hires Ryudo in the beginning of the game.
 * I believe that Cam Clarke is to Tales games as barrels and crates are to first-person shooters.
 * He voices both the Big Bad and the leader of The Big Damn Cavalry in the second Veggie Tales flick, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Which lead to very strange images in my head seeing my own Blood Elf taunting Larry the Cucumber. It doesn't help that he does the exact same intonation between all three roles.
 * He's also Simba in many versions after the first film.
 * AND he sung the theme "We are One". Yeah, I was surprised as anyone else, especially since he has a GREAT voice...
 * Not forgetting he fought the Eternal Darkness as Anthony.
 * Or romanced the Spirit Monk as Sky.
 * Or the father of everyone's favorite Blind Earthbender.
 * Or that he played He-Man in the 2000s series.
 * He's also Prince Crescendo in Eternal Sonata.
 * Not to mention Meathook in Monkey Island.
 * As well as practically every 2nd person you meet in Renaissance Italy
 * And Max Sterling and Lancer in Robotech. Incidentally, go rewatch the ending movie for Xenogears to hear Cam Clarke as a random unnamed radio tech guy who gets more lines than pretty much anyone else in the game.
 * Let's not forget his early work such as the lead in Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds or Rigadon in Around the World with Willy Fog
 * He resumes the role of a dog (albeit a blue one) in Clifford the Big Red Dog.
 * If you want a full list, just look him up on The Other Wiki.
 * Anthony Michaels in Soldier of Fortune II.
 * He also provided one of Snoopy's few speaking roles
 * The doomed journalist Roger Howard from Dead Island is also him.
 * Not to mention a certain tiny yellow-skinned gremlin-like creature.


 * Kevin Clash
 * I was recently watching clips of the show Dinosaurs on YouTube, and was shocked to realize that the baby (of "Not the Mama!" fame) had the same voice as Elmo.
 * That's Kevin Clash, who's done tons of other Muppet work, including an attempt at Sam the Eagle in one of the recent TV movies.
 * Many people (especially the ones who disliked Elmo) may be surprised to find he was also the voice of Splinter in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies.


 * Greg Cipes
 * Beast Boy, Chiro and Numbuh 1's future son. What do all these three boys have in common?
 * That was just his young boy voice. Kevin Levin sounds a lot like Caleb, in his teenager voice.


 * Colleen Clinkenbeard
 * When watching Evangelion 1.0, One Piece, and then SHUFFLE!, one may be slightly surprised that Ritsuko Akagi and Kareha share a voice. Realizing that they both share the same voice as Luffy, however? Mind Screw, much...
 * Also, Riza Hawkeye, Ayako and Yuuko
 * Patricia Tannis and Siren in Borderlands as well.
 * And Eclaire
 * She is also Esther, Mimiko, and Galatea in Claymore, as well as having a small part in Darker than Black.


 * Stephen Colbert
 * Stephen Colbert (yes, that Stephen Colbert) gets around a bit. In addition to a few animated segments on The Daily Show and the Tek Jansen cartoons on The Colbert Report, he voices Ace of The Ambiguously Gay Duo, several characters in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, has guest-starred in The Venture Brothers and American Dad, and (naturally) The Simpsons (as lawyer Colby Krause).
 * And now the unnamed President in Monsters vs. Aliens.


 * Gary Cole
 * Kim Possible's dad. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, and Mr. Lumbergh. He also does additional voices on Family Guy, including Mike Brady in many of the show's Brady Bunch parodies (Cole played Mike in the live-action parody movies during the 1990s).


 * Townsend Coleman
 * Sentinel Prime on Transformers Animated is voiced by Townsend Coleman, better known to many veteran cartoon viewers as The Tick (animation). Obviously they know all about it, as Sentinel is blue, super-strong, somewhat dim, prone to odd turns-of-phrase, and has an epic chin (The animators even admitted that they hadn't even designed Sentinel until they found out Coleman was voicing him). Unlike Tick, however, Sentinel is an insufferable jerk and Optimus Prime's old rival from the academy.
 * Townsend Coleman also voiced Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987, Colt in Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, and Capeman in Inspector Gadget.


 * Christopher Collins (Latta)
 * From the original series, Starscream was voiced by Chris Latta, who was also the voice of Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe.
 * However, he was NOT the voice of Rasp, The Starscream from Dino-Riders, despite the fact that whoever did Rasp's voice-most sources say it was Frank Welker-did it in a voice more or less identical to Latta's Starscream/Cobra Commander voice. So it was pretty much that voice, but not that guy.


 * Jeffrey Combs
 * Besides numerous roles in horror movies and several Star Trek series, he has lent his voice to The Question in Justice League Unlimited (the ultimate conspiracy theorist -- "The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister!"—as well as Huntress' boy toy), and before that he filled in as the Scarecrow in The New Batman Adventures (the tail end of Batman the Animated Series).
 * He also plays the Leader on Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes.
 * And now he's Ratchet on Transformers Prime.


 * Justin Cook
 * This Troper noted that Justin Cook lent his distinctive vocal cords to an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. It was really, really hard not to think of Yusuke Urameshi that whole time.
 * I, who heard Jusin Cook as Dietrich from Trinity Blood first, keeps expecting Yusuke to suddenly go insane and try to destroy the world.
 * I had the same reaction when I heard Hatsuharu speak for the first time.
 * Apparently, Chiba (his character in BECK) actually calls out a guy named Yusuke, I started laughing immediately.
 * On the other hand, he voiced Bellamy for One Piece and I swear everyone who didn't know it was him thought it was Brian Drummond.


 * Danny Cooksey
 * Danny Cooksey. First he's a kid millionaire, then a a hot headed bully, later a softie barbarian and now Jack Spicer.
 * Speaking of Jack, he worked for Wuya AND Santana Of The Dead.
 * Also Stoop Kid, though I still just call him Budnick.
 * Dare I say Keef of Invader Zim fame?
 * It's fitting that Jack Spicer would want to outdo Phineas and Ferb...


 * Alyson Court
 * It probably shouldn't be too surprising that the same voice of the girl that palled around with the Ghost with the Most would also be the voice of the girl that mows down hordes of zombies.
 * She was also Emily Elizabeth over a decade before Grey De Lisle was Emily Elizabeth.
 * Jubilee moonlighted as Loonette the Clown.


 * Stephanie Courtney
 * Believe it or not, Joy Peters is Flo from Progressive.


 * Richard Ian Cox
 * The voice of Inu Yasha and Ranma ½ makes an on-screen appearance for an episode of Stargate Atlantis.
 * He's also Pietro (aka Quicksilver) in X-Men: Evolution.
 * And he has a small part at the beginning of L: Change the World. X3
 * IIRC, he also voiced Randy the Sheep in an episode from The Penguins of Madagascar.
 * And in a notable Playing Against Type moment as Trap from the Geronimo Stilton Animated Adaptation.


 * Henry Corden
 * Corden, who took over as the voice of Fred Flintstone in 1977 after Alan Reed died, dubbed in scrubbed up dialogue for Jackie Gleason's more blue dialogue (as Buford T. Justice) in commercial TV screenings of Smokey and the Bandit.
 * Terry Crews
 * I got the shock of my life when Tom Dubois from The Boondocks got anally raped by Latrell Spencer. Fortunately, that was just a dream, but it still haunts poor Tom.


 * Bing Crosby
 * He sang the Shell theme song in one of their commercials. As he started doing so, the animated Shell logo/mascot in the lower right corner said "I know that voice!"
 * Bing also sang and narrated the "Sleepy Hollow" segment from Disney's The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, as well as providing the voices for Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones.
 * He was also one of the singers in a classic Little Lulu short. Look it up.

""Thanks for noticing me," said the forty-foot robot."
 * Peter Cullen
 * Peter Cullen has not only voiced Optimus Prime since the '80s (Ironhide too, but only in the 80s) -- during most of that time, he also provided the voice of Eeyore in Disney's various Pooh offerings. Once you're aware of that, you soon realize that the only difference is one of attitude, not timbre.

"Liberty Prime: Death is a preferable alternative to Communism!"
 * Speaking of Knight Rider, the voice of KITT's Evil Twin KARR was provided by none other than Peter Cullen, an actor who would later become very well known for voicing another vehicle of radically different morality.
 * Not to mention helping out another giant robot who needed a narrator, and then a commander for its second incarnation. "From Days Of Long Ago...From Uncharted Regions Of The Galaxy...Comes A Legend...The Legend Of...Voltron, Defender Of The Universe." To use the vehicle analogy again, that intro is like the supremely cool hood ornament on a sweet set of wheels.
 * Cullen was not only the narrator, but also voiced Coran in the GoLion series (Lion Voltron) and Commander Hawkins in the Dairugger XV series (Vehicle Voltron)
 * Cullen also did most of the commercials for Toonami, and still announces for Cartoon Network from time to time.
 * Hearing the voice of Optimus Prime saying Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo was one of the more Narmful television viewing moments for me.
 * He also does the occasional beer commercial.
 * And no-one will soon forget his show-stealing performance in Fallout 3 as Liberty Prime, who is basically an extremely anti-Communist Expy of Optimus Prime.


 * The return of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime in the Transformers films. NOW GIVE HIM YOUR FACE!!.


 * Jim Cummings
 * Jim Cummings, who plays Minsc in Baldur's Gate, also did Darkwing Duck. Negaduck sounds very much like Spider-Man: The Animated Series villain Shocker.
 * Let's not forget his time as a hunny-loving bear (and Tigger, too, after Paul Winchell retired).
 * Jim's voice for Pooh is also his voice for the mancub-hungry Kaa the snake in all recent appearances of Disney's The Jungle Book. Since Kaa's Giggling Villain act sounds just like a tickled-pink Pooh, it can be a good dose of Nightmare Fuel to any child who notices. This is not exactly Jim's fault, however; original voice actor Sterling Holloway did the exact same voice for both roles.
 * There's Darkwing Duck plus his Evil Twin Negaduck and annoying neighbor Herb Muddlefoot; Winnie the Pooh ; Monterey Jack, Fat Cat, and Professor Nimnul in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers; Louie and Don Karnage in Tale Spin, Razoul the Captain of the guards in Aladdin; the laughing hyena Ed in The Lion King; Bonkers and his pal Lucky Piquel; Pete in Goof Troop, Mickey's Three Musketeers, and House of Mouse, as well as the Big Bad Wolf in the latter; the Tasmanian Devil in recent years; Fuzzy Lumpkins in The Powerpuff Girls, the Shredder in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, Dr. Robotnik in the darker Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, Ackar from Bionicle... Check the list; you know this guy's voice.
 * One of Jim's more impressive contributions for Disney came from the accidental loss of some of the audio for ''The Lion King' during post production. Pay very close attention at the end of "Be Prepared". That's not Jeremy Irons singing.
 * Actually, that was because Jeremy Irons threw his voice out on the "You won't get a sniff without me!" line and couldn't complete the song, so they had Jim Cummings fill in for the rest. STILL Damn Impressive though!
 * Cummings does a lot of work on Codename: Kids Next Door, as well. One of his roles is even an Affectionate Parody of Minsc: an office worker-turned-berserker named Moosk.
 * One of his most tapped impressions is Sterling Holloway; in addition to Holloway characters Pooh and Kaa (in Jungle Cubs and The Jungle Book 2), he's also been used in Animaniacs as a narrator of "touching, heartfelt stories."
 * The top of this page mentions playing a voice-actor version of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Since Jim Cummings played Steele opposite Kevin Bacon's Balto, you can play the original version as well.
 * Incidentally, he also has a memorable supporting role as the military General in the English dub of Laputa: Castle in the Sky, which is not too much different than his voicing of Razoul in Aladdin
 * Surprisingly, he now voices Thanos in The Superhero Squad Show.
 * He was the Terror Mask in the remake of Splatterhouse.
 * Cat.


 * Tim Curry
 * Tim Curry has played his fair share of animated villains. You may recognise his distinctive laugh from such films as Fern Gully and The Pebble and the Penguin.
 * Didn't Hexus used to be a butler?
 * Don't forget Professor Calamitous and Nigel Thornberry (Nigel Thornberry is one of the few characters Tim Curry provided the voice for who happened to be a good guy).
 * Tim Curry, again, has been in almost any kids' cartoon you care to name. Most obviously The Wild Thornberrys or Hey Arnold!, The Little Mermaid, Gargoyles, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, and the Rugrats movie, to pick a random half-dozen.
 * For those who don't watch cartoons and decide to check them out, you will not stop imagining any of said characters above in fishnets, corsets, and heels as you watch.
 * Tim Curry also played Stratos, the god of air in Sacrifice.
 * The Cat King in The Cat Returns
 * No less than the arch-pirate himself, Captain Hook in Peter Pan and The Pirates.
 * He was even in Gabriel Knight, playing the main character. He's also playing one of the few characters who actually sounds like they grew up in New Orleans...but the accent is obviously faked. There are occasions where you hear him suddenly lapsing into his natural voice for about a second while he talks. And this isn't something that happens once or twice...he does this every time Gabriel whispers and his voice pitch suddenly jumps into his most recognizable voice (a bit awkward hearing a British man portraying a man with an accent akin to the Deep South).
 * It really doesn't help anything when Tim Curry also plays a bad guy in Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, and Long John Silver (again- a bad guy), in Muppet Treasure Island...
 * ...As well as the Big Bad (Doviculus) in Brutal Legend.
 * Mr. Curry also provided the voice of Melek, advisor to Prince Thrakhath nar Kiranka, in Wing Commander III. (Melek in 4 was voiced by another actor, Barry Dennen. Just as well, as the muppet for the WC4 Melek was pathetic.)
 * You just knew Arl Howe was a bad guy when you heard Tim Curry's voice.
 * Pretorius on The Mask cartoon.


 * Bill Curtis
 * Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy has this real-life anchorman doing the opening and closing narration. Most people know him from A&E crime-show narration ("the Menendez brothers..."), but for anybody who grew up watching him on CBS 2-WBBM in Chicago, this was a special treat.

D

 * E.G. (Elizabeth) Daily
 * Tommy Pickles on Rugrats. Buttercup on The Powerpuff Girls.


 * Jim Dale
 * Harry Potter fans will probably recognize the distinctive voice of Jim Dale, who has done the American audiobooks of the series and also lent his voice to various DVD extras. This Troper was a little surprised to find his voice on Pushing Daisies.
 * Don't watch Pete's Dragon, then, or your head asplode. (Dale plays the villain.)


 * Tim Daly
 * A rare live action/animated crossover. I have a hard time watching Tim Daly in Private Practice without thinking "hey, it's Superman: The Animated Series! He'll save the day!"
 * He also plays Mr. Kusakabe in Disney's redub of My Neighbor Totoro


 * Anthony Daniels
 * While most famous for playing the droid C-3P0, Daniels has had roles in which he appeared out of costume, including The Coroner on Prime Suspect.


 * William Daniels
 * William Daniels, best known to tropers below a certain age as Mr. Feeney on Boy Meets World and to tropers above a certain age as Dr. Craig on St. Elsewhere was not credited for his role as the voice of KITT in Knight Rider. I didn't make the connection until hearing him in the even earlier 1776.


 * Keith David
 * You know, you owned Stillwater at one point, Keith.
 * The Arbiter is a Black Starship Captain, and Goliath.
 * And Okkotonushi the boar-god in the English dub of Princess Mononoke. He also does the opening narration.
 * As well as an intergalactic Imam named... Imam.
 * And the god of discord. Dude's been busy lately.
 * He unexpectedly plays a cat in Coraline!
 * The voice of his guest villain character in Justice League episodes "Hearts and Minds" could be mistaken for Goliath's (ignoring the evilness)...
 * Yeah... as in... hell... spawn...
 * I was watching a documentary in history class. Five minutes in, she went 'Holy crap! The narrator's Goliath!' Made it much more entertaining, I assure you.
 * Keith David also wants to know if you're username ladiesman217 (Barricade, the Decepticon police car).
 * In the game at least. Filmwise, he voices one of the original Primes in the sequel.
 * Hey, the dude's hardcore. He tried to wipe out ALL of humanity once. It took Barney Stinson, Xena: Warrior Princess, Brenda's squicky brother Billy, and Charlotte's frigid first husband banding together to stop him. And it still would have worked, if it wasn't for Angelus getting rid of some emotional baggage.
 * In 2009 he was the voice for the Big Bad in a Final Fantasy game and a Disney movie, he just needs to be in a Kingdom Hearts game and the synergy will be complete.
 * The guy is also gangsta on weekends. When he's not IN SPAAAACE! anyway.
 * He also voices Navy recruitment ads, National Geographic documentaries and the History Channel documentary, Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked.
 * He also helped to fight off the invading Russians while telling Ramirez to do everything in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
 * And he's got friends on the other side...


 * Melissa Davis
 * Her most famous role? A certain so-called boring girl called Kurumi Momose.
 * She voices the girl of the Illusionary World in Clannad, as well as...Botan. No, really.
 * She would also slay invisible demons with a samurai sword and be involved in missions with Dante (in the anime, anyways).
 * She doesn't speak often as Shiina, but she made the infamous scene from the OVA work just as well as the Japanese by making her more moe with a small laugh!
 * She was once Queen Elizabeth.
 * Her very first role was voicing Skuld in Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok.
 * Think Kurumi if she was even more bubbly, and you get Kena Soga.
 * Otherwise, if she was a bit more depressed (while still being hopeful), you get Kate Ashley.
 * She's also Gisen Yagyu, no doubt her most seductive role to date, to the point (like the rest of the dub voice cast) that her having a alias makes the most sense.
 * This troper was flabbergasted when Gisen first spoke..."KURUMI MOMOSE?! WHAAAA?".
 * Speaking of seductive, she's also Rika Minami.
 * Cross another "messed-up character" to the list, as she voices Kisaragi in ICE.


 * Eddie Deezen
 * Ned the Buenos Natchos Manager from Kim Possible, is the exact same voice as the fast food manager in first season of Chuck.
 * Not to mention Mandark, and the Know-It-All from The Polar Express. I began to age rapidly when I realized that, to kids from here on in, he will be better (and perhaps only) known as the Know-It-All than either Mandark or especially, The Primal Nerd from Grease.
 * He also uses his future Mandark voice for Snipes in Rock-a-Doodle.
 * Did you forget the pilot episode of Darkwing Duck? That's him as the ram.
 * He also played a politically correct comedian in the Duckman episode "Joking the Chicken".


 * Dana Delaney
 * The voice for Wing Commander Academy character Gwen "Archer" Bowman was provided by Dana Delaney.
 * She's also Lois Lane in the DCAU.
 * Also in the DCAU, Andrea Beaumont/Phantasm in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.


 * Grey DeLisle
 * I actually pointed at the screen at that point and shouted "OMG, it's Azula! This Random Asari diplomat must be trying to trick me somehow!". He laughed muchly when it turned out he was right.
 * Jacqueline Natla is voiced by Grey DeLisle in both Tomb Raider "Anniversary" and "Underworld". Natla, especially in "Underworld", sounds exactly like Azula.
 * I did a double-take the first time I heard Azula talk, I never expected the voice actress for Mandy and Vicky to show up on Avatar: The Last Airbender.
 * And don't forget that she's also the current Daphne...and Frankie!
 * And Sam!
 * Who is, creepily enough, also Emily Elizabeth Howard on Clifford the Big Red Dog.
 * And also Betty Brant. Which made me whimper and curl into the fetal position when I found out, because Azula scares her. I can't hear Betty's voice anymore without having...issues.
 * She's the Wasp in the Ultimate Avengers movies too.
 * In The Superhero Squad Show she's Ms. Marvel.
 * Not to mention Lizzie and the titular character on Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
 * Don't forget her roles as Riley and Brandon.
 * Or Kimiko.
 * She's also Fire. I guess she isn't worried about being typecast as a flame wielding lady.
 * Nah, after her work as Black Canary, everyone now will expect her to sing—and awesomely.
 * She also sang in-character as Emily Elizabeth in a Clifford The Big Red Dog tribute album (that was coincidently published after John Ritter's death). Her singing was awesome. The album not so.
 * I was being chewed out for incompetence by Therese Voreman when he suddenly realized she sounded awfully familiar. Especially considering what you later find out about her
 * And now she's Scarlet from the G.I. Joe: Resolute series.
 * Azula's voice, is Viconia. And Nalia. And Raelis Shai. And Illasera. The Baldur's Gate people got their money's worth from her.
 * Now that I realize that she is also Asajj Ventress, Mandy seems scarier.
 * Various roles in the Knights of the Old Republic and Neverwinter Nights series as well.
 * And Padme in the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoons (but not the CGI series).
 * And, also, female Bounty Hunter from The Old Republic.
 * And Lor
 * A REALLY monstrous asari businesswoman in Mass Effect and its sequel.
 * Nova and every Banshee in StarCraft II.
 * The female Wizard in Diablo III, the fact that her portrait looks like Azula definitely helps too.


 * Debi Derryberry
 * Zatch Bell sounded like Jimmy Neutron.
 * Monkey Pink from the third Ape Escape game also tended to sound like Jimmy Neutron when she was angry.


 * Jack DeSena
 * Though his appearance was brief, when This Troper heard Jimmy Olson (Jack DeSana) on The Batman he immediately thought "WTF, Sokka?"


 * Phyllis Diller
 * Voiced herself in an episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies, and was Mask-scara, the villainess in The Powerpuff Girls episode "A Made Up Story."
 * John Dimaggio
 * Dr. Drakken, and his cousin Motor Ed, seriously. Western Animation/[Futurama Bender]].
 * Smiling Jack the Anarch.
 * Also the voice of Wakka and Kimahri Ronso in Final Fantasy X. Yeah. Go clean up your pants.
 * Not to mention the delightfully hammy Gilgamesh in Final Fantasy XII.
 * Not to mention Marcus Fenix, The Scotsman, and Gonza. Would this make John DiMaggio one of the best people ever?
 * Radda Radda! (Translation: Oh, hell yeah!)
 * At one point he became an army of apes INSPACE!!!!!!
 * only one word need be said: OUTRAGEOUS!
 * JOCKTOPUS!!!
 * This guy immediately recognized the voice of the Rhino in the Spider-Man 2 video game (the surprisingly good one of the movie) as being DiMaggio at first hearing on the basis that it is basically a lower-pitched Bender.
 * He was also freakin Toy Man in Superman: Doomsday.
 * On top of all that, he's also commentator Kreese Kreeley in MadWorld (using his Bender voice once more), along with Greg Proops.
 * He's Hammerhead and the Sandman on The Spectacular Spider-Man, and it's actually hard to tell they are both voiced by the same guy.
 * He has played in three Ghibli dubs: Gonza in Princess Mononoke (as well as some incidental voices), various minor roles in Laputa: Castle in the Sky, and Ryutaro in Pom Poko.
 * A word of warning, don't watch Kim Possible before you watch Teen Titans, otherwise you will not be able to take Brother Blood seriously. Ever. You will however, be constantly expecting him to break into Angrish or cry out SHEGO! after nearly every sentence.
 * He's also Jake the dog. It should be noted that he was the only cast member in the original Adventure Time short that is also in the show.
 * Aggregor, Aquaman, Schnitzel, General Steel, Tux Dog. And all these characters' shows air on the same network.
 * Not to mention, The Joker in Batman: Under the Red Hood.
 * Rico in The Penguins of Madagascar.
 * Juggernaut from X-Men Legends II.
 * If you can even hear a little bit of Bender or Marcus in a voice, it is probably him.


 * Bruce Dinsmore
 * Dinsmore voices Dave Read, Arthur's dad and William Taggart in Deus Ex Human Revolution.
 * Don't forget Tubby from The Little Lulu Show.


 * Ben Diskin
 * Sai is Numbuh One.
 * Few things are weirder than hearing Szayel Aporro Granz speak in English when you realize it's Numbuhs 1 and 2 talking about crushing guts with voodoo dolls.
 * He's Kai too.


 * Aaron Dismuke
 * Honda's ASIMO robot sounds an awful lot like Aaron Dismuke, the voice of Alphonse Elric in the first Fullmetal Alchemist series. Observe!
 * Only if you've watched recent convention panels would anyone be able to realize he did Chika in Ouran High School Host Club. Yeah, he's grown up quite a bit.
 * He uses Alphonse's voice for Hiro Sohma (just with a lot more petulance.)


 * James Doohan
 * In Star Trek: The Animated Series, James Doohan voiced not only his signature character of Montgomery Scott ("Scotty") but also many others, including Lieutenant Arex, Commodore Robert April in "The Counter-Clock Incident" and Agmar in "The Infinite Vulcan."


 * Michael Dorn
 * Hello? Michael Dorn? Voicing a tattoo-clad gangster who beats the crap out of everyone he sees? And getting ? There is a god, and he likes this game.
 * To Gabriel Knight game fans, he will always be immortalized as the voice of Dr. John.
 * In Fallout 2, Micheal Dorn provided the voice for Marcus the Mutant, making it eerily familiar for any Star Trek: The Next Generation fans.
 * He also voiced Kalibak in Justice League. Sounded exactly like Worf.
 * He also played John Henry Irons, aka Steel in Superman: TAS. For some reason the role was recast in JLU.
 * I Am Weasel.
 * He's also playing Mata Nui in Bionicle: The Legend Reborn.
 * His whole face was never shown, but Michael Dorn's voice was recognizable when he had a brief guest appearance as the POTUS on Heroes.
 * Rufus 2000 in the Kim Possible movie A Sitch in Time.
 * How can we forget Coldstone and Minotaur in Gargoyles?
 * He also played a Krogan in Mass Effect 2.
 * Said Krogan has the opportunity to be headbutted 3 times.
 * I.M. Weasel. That is all.

""GEICO. A fifteen-minute call could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.""
 * D.C. Douglas
 * This man's fantastic voice is probably most recognizable as that of Resident Evil's ultimate Big Bad, Albert Wesker. He has also shown up as Commandant Alexei in Tales of Vesperia, Jazz in Eternal Sonata, and Legion in Mass Effect 2, not to mention numerous live TV shows and movies.
 * This troper personally cannot wait to hear Legion say that the Reapers want to ensure Complete. Galactic. SATURATION.
 * What you probably didn't realize was that he was the voiceover narration in the GEICO commercials—not the CGI gecko, but the voice that says:


 * He's also Grimoire Noir in Nie R, and sounds almost identical to the voice he uses for Wesker.


 * Dom DeLuise
 * Try out Evictus from The Roman Holidays, Koosalagoopagoop from Dexter's Laboratory, Itchy from All Dogs Go to Heaven, Tiger from An American Tail, Jeremy from The Secret of NIMH, and many others.


 * Jason Douglas
 * Jason Douglas uses the same for voice for Il Palazzo as he does for Chiyo-chan's Dad.


 * Robert Atkin Downes
 * Robin Atkin Downes, Travis' VA, is practically synonymous with the US voice acting industry. Among others, you'll find him playing Faldio, Delita, Navarro and Tenzin (which made me do a double take during the credits), and numerous additional voices in countless games and cartoons.
 * Another one for the record: the Medic. And he has a mighty impressive IM Bd page as well.
 * Three more! Garino Creale Corsione, Al Pettina the Casino Manager, and Zell Condorbrave, all antagonists in Gungrave: Overdose.
 * Not to mention that he was also the voice actor of a certain gambling, time-controlling Nobody . ..
 * And also a Lotus Assassin who chose a bad time to grow a conscience.
 * He's also the Prophet of Regret.
 * Holy shit, he voiced  Lorenzo from Haunting Ground and Akechi Samanosuke from Onimusha 3!
 * While it might be a bit harder to hear, he voiced Kazuhira Miller in Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. Along with this, he was also the voice talent for one of the random voices that recruits may have.
 * Though this falls more into Hey, It's That Guy!, he also played the infamous Byron on Babylon 5.
 * Baron Zemo in Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes.


 * Eliza Dushku
