Often turn out to be examples of [[Ink Suit Actor|Ink Suit Actors.]] See also [[Pop Star Composer]] for the musical equivalent.
{{examples|Examples:}}
* Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk come together once more in [[Halo|Halo 3: ODST]]. Yes, Bungie Studios is mostly staffed by [[Firefly|Browncoats]].
* [[Trope Codifier|Codified]] by [[Robin Williams]]' role as the Genie in ''[[Aladdin (Disney)|Aladdin]]''. Also an instance of [[Ink Suit Actor]].
Line 69:
* Early episodes of ''[[Captain Planet]]'' had such big names as [[Meg Ryan]], [[Martin Sheen]], Sting, [[Jeff Goldblum]] in various villainous roles and [[Whoopi Goldberg]] as Gaya, although by the second and third seasons these had been replaced by professional voice actors.
** Also of note is that [[Tom Cruise]] was attached to voice Cap, but it didn't work out.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'s'' two-part Season 2 premiere guest-stars non other than John de Lancie of ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' fame as the premiere's villain Discord, who is essentially [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Q]] as a [[Buffy -Speak|dragon...thing]]. Its awesome. Although to his credit, he already had plenty of voice acting experience on cartoon shows before starring as Discord.
* A notoriously bad live-action example was the English-language dub of Roberto Benigni's ''Pinocchio'' (2002), which used an [[All -Star Cast]]: Breckin Meyer as Pinocchio (whom ''Benigni'' plays onscreen), Glenn Close as the Blue Fairy, and in the supporting roles David Suchet, [[Monty Python|John Cleese, Eric Idle]], Topher Grace, Queen Latifah, Cheech Marin, Eddie Griffin, Kevin James, James Belushi, and Regis Philbin. The quality of the performances varies wildly and no one's work escapes the [[Hong Kong Dub]].
