Line 24:
** Sheena Easton also voiced [[Fiery Redhead|Annah]] from ''[[Planescape: Torment]]''.
* In a rare TV example, Ringo Starr was the narrator of the original animated ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]''. The American version included George Carlin and Alec Baldwin. The current narrator? ''Pierce Brosnan.''
* [[The Emperor]] Uriel Septim VII in ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'' is voiced by [[Patrick Stewart]]... and also doubles as [[Dead Star Walking]].
** And Martin is voiced by [[Sean Bean]].
** Patrick Stewart also provided the voice for Professor Xavier in both of the ''[[X Men Legends]]'' games and he wasn't the only notable name providing voice work.
*** Considering Stewart played the role in the X-Men movies made BEFORE the games, this can hardly count? It makes perfect sense to bring in the same guy as a newer audience associates with the role.
** Back to ''Oblivion''. [[The Dragon]] Mankar Camoran is voiced by [[Terence Stamp]].
** ''[[Skyrim]]'' has quite the list of these. See the [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim/Trivia|Trivia]] page for the full list. Notably, Esbern (the narrator of the trailer) is voiced by [[Max Von Sydow]]. Unfortunately some of Esbern's lines were voiced by another actor who tried and failed to imitate von Sydow.
* ''[[The Critic]]'' and ''[[Duckman]]'' both were star-vehicle toons, for Jon Lovitz and Jason Alexander respectively.
* Speaking about doing the voice of Optimus Prime in the live-action ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' movies, Peter Cullen remarked that it was great to be working with "the old crew" again (a couple of the voices for the live-action movie were done by the [[The Transformers (animation)|G1]] voice actors), but pointedly made the comment that he "wished he could have worked with [[Frank Welker]] again." A subtle [[Take That]] over the fact that Megatron was voiced by [[The Matrix|Hugo Weaving]] for the live-action movies, given that Frank Welker voiced Soundwave, Ravage, and Devastator in ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' (whom Optimus never meets, for different reasons<ref>Namely, Soundwave never goes to Earth and {{spoiler|Optimus dies; by the time he's revived, Ravage and Devastator were both killed gruesomely}}</ref>.). Nevertheless, [[Transformers Prime|Cullen got his wish granted]].
