Line 54:
*** [[Mel Blanc]] came from the Golden Age of American Radio, where it was possible to become famous based solely on voice work. He also got a lot of his fame in front of the camera playing comedic characters and guest starring on variety shows. [[Lucille Ball]], Orson Welles, and Jimmy Stuart also first became famous in radio. Even voice actors who weren't able to make the leap to the camera had fans with the older generations who remember the radio era. With that last group, it's less about being an Ensemble Darkhorse, and more about being a fading star as time marches on.
** [[Names to Know in Anime|Japanese-wise]], the darkhorse seiyuu would be [[Norio Wakamoto]]. When seiyuu these days about the younger people, especially those catering to the more [[Moe]] archetypes, there's this old school [[Cool Old Guy]] seiyuu who stockpiles about classic and awesome villain roles. Thanks to his epic hammy performance, he's still viewed as one of the greatest seiyuu in business despite being not really the norm of this age's seiyuu (a man and old), and a [[Memetic Badass]] (and Real Life [[Badass]] too).
* From [[Disney Theme Parks]], Figment is undoubtably the most popular character at EPCOT, and the Hitchhiking Ghosts have become the unofficial mascots of ''[[The Haunted Mansion]]'', despite only showing up near the end.
* [[Tommy|Uncle Ernie]], of all people, has this in spades. Yes, the [[Evil Uncle|mean]], [[Creepy Uncle|creepy]] guy who actually ends up [[Shotacon|molesting the titular character]] (and [[Fridge Horror|possibly even others youngsters]] in "Tommy's Holiday Camp") is the most fan-loved character right after Tommy himself. One could argue that he's popular because [[The Movie]] version is played by [[The Who|the band's drummer, Keith Moon]], and whoever's playing him usually [[Ham and Cheese|hams it up for all it's worth]], but still...Not bad for a [[Complete Monster|gay, incestuous pedophile with arguable drinking problems]] who only gets two short musical numbers.
