Line 1:
{{trope}}
* '''Arthur Holden'''
** Voices both Mr. Ratburn and the Bionic Bunny from [[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]] and Hugh Darrow in ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]''.
 
* '''Bruce Dinsmore'''
** Dinsmore voices Dave Read, [[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'s dad and William Taggart in ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]''.
** Don't forget Tubby from ''[[Little Lulu|The Little Lulu Show]]''.
 
== A ==
* '''[[Jensen Ackles]]'''
** Jensen Ackles, usually known as Dean Winchester in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' is also the Red Hood in ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''.
Line 19 ⟶ 14:
** He was also an [[Transformers Generation 1|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'''** 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 Fantasy|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 ''[[Disney Fairies|Tinker Bell]]'' movies and the titular character from the [[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]] computer games by [[Microsoft]].
 
* '''Marc Alaimo'''
Line 26 ⟶ 22:
 
* '''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 [[Narm|narmynarm]]y when she's telling you how to grab someone by surprise and take them down with an [http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs3/english/system_cqc.html 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]]''.
 
Line 41 ⟶ 37:
 
* '''[[Ed Asner]]'''
** Ed Asner, who upon entering the field of voice acting has managed to appear in ''[[Freakazoid!]]'', ''[[The Boondocks]]'', ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'', ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Spider-Man the Animated Series]]'', ''[[Gargoyles]]'', ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'', and ''[[Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures|Jonny Quest the Real Adventures]]'', all essentially voicing the exact same character: Ed Asner.
** ...and Granny Goodness in ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]''. Who's '''still''' essentially Ed Asner.
** And now [[Pixar]]'s ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]''.
Line 51 ⟶ 47:
** Wasn't that [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|uppity Earth Nation refugee with the long white beard]] [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|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 [[Justice League (animation)|Desaad, Galius, or Kanjar-Ro]].
** He's also [[Fallout: New Vegas|over 250 years old]] and commands an army of robots.
** And Chef Louis from ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''.
Line 73 ⟶ 69:
** 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 [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|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.
Line 79 ⟶ 76:
 
* '''[[Diedrich Bader]]'''
** [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman]] '''is''' [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|Hoss Delgado]] and [[The Drew Carey Show|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 "[[Office Space|federal pound you up the ass prison]]."
Line 86 ⟶ 83:
 
* '''[[Laura Bailey]]'''
** Upon hearing Kuro's voice in the English dub of ''[[Kurokami]]'', I thought, "Wow...[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Raspberyl]] can really kick some ass!"
** Really? I was thinking [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Marta Lualdi]].
** If not her, then [[Kodomo no Omocha|Sana Kurata]], maybe.
** Try [[Yu Yu Hakusho|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 (manga)|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 RNieR]], holy crap...)
** She started out as [[Dragon Ball|Kid Trunks]] and went on to do [[Mahou Sensei Negima|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.
Line 100 ⟶ 97:
** 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 [[Final Fantasy III|Cloud of Darkness]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''.
** Laura Bailey is also the lovable Shin from the [[Funimation]] Dub of ''[[Crayon Shin Chan-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]]''.
 
Line 111 ⟶ 108:
 
* '''[[Christian Bale]]'''
** Howl in ''[[Howl's Moving Castle (anime)|Howl's Moving Castle]]''
 
* '''Eric Bauza'''
** [[Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island|Slip and Slide]] are [[El Tigre|Randolfo Rivera (a hero)]] and [[Superjail|Lord Stingray (a villain)]]
 
* '''Beau Billingslea'''
** Provided the voice for Jet Black in the dubbed version of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', as well as characters in ''[[Naruto]]'', ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', ''[[Wolf's Rain|Wolfs Rain]]'', ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex|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!"
 
* '''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|Gears of War 3]]''
 
* '''[[Dee Bradley Baker]]'''
Line 146 ⟶ 128:
** I still have difficulty reconciling [[Code Geass|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 (series)|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 [[ShinCrayon ChanShin-chan]] and after the end credits, I cracked up at the fact that [[Code Geass|Schneizel el Britannia]] was Action Bastard!!
** Also [[Soul Eater|Excalibur]]
 
 
* '''(Long) John William Baldry'''
** I watched ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' 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 Ham|Large Hams]]s who sport long red mustaches.
** I guess he ''did'' give himself a [[Memetic Mutation|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...{{spoiler|DOUBLE USER}}.
Line 159 ⟶ 140:
 
* '''[[Dante Basco]]'''
** Dante Basco voiced [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Zuko]] and [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Jake Long]], fueling shipping fantasies everywhere.
** [[Hook|Ru...fi...O!]]
** Who would have thought [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Zuko]] could dance? He played one of the Dungeon Kids, Ramos, in Take the Lead!
Line 165 ⟶ 146:
** I'm a little ashamed to say I recognized him, not as Rufio, not as Zuko...but as Corey from "Extreme Days". Yeah, that [[Jesus Was Way Cool|christian]] [[Romantic Comedy]] about [[Xtreme Sport Xcuse Plot|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.
** [[But I'm a Cheerleader|How 'bout the time he played a homosexual varsity wresler? ]][[You Just Had to Say It|Anyone?]]
 
* '''Emily Bauer/Blau/Jenness'''
** [[Ah! My Goddess|Megumi Morisato]] shares a voice with [[Pokémon (anime)|Dawn and Cynthia]].
 
* '''ArthurEric HoldenBauza'''
** [[Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island|Slip and Slide]] are [[El Tigre|Randolfo Rivera (a hero)]] and [[Superjail|Lord Stingray (a villain)]]
 
* '''[[Michael Bell]]'''
** Michael Bell, who plays Raziel in ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' has also done the voicework for [[Metal Gear Solid|The Fear]], [[Eternal Darkness|Peter Jacob (and uncredited ingame and cutscene voicework for Maximillian Roivas, but not the autopsies)]], [[Baldur's Gate|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 ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' episode "Souvenirs". Hearing his voice on that ep drove me crazy 'til I made the connection.
** Dark Fact in ''[[Ys|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|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.
Line 189 ⟶ 173:
 
* '''[[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 [[Gargoyles|Brooklyn, Owen Burnett]], [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|The Joker]], [[The Spectacular Spider-Man|Montana/ Shocker]], [[Johnny Bravo]], [[Flap Jack|Peppermint Larry]], [[Transformers Animated|Prowl]], [[Ben 10: Alien Force|Azmuth, Ghostfreak]], and even "Massa Colonel" Lynchwater from '''[[The Boondocks|The fucking Boondocks]]'''! And [[Candle Jack/Just for Fun|Candle Jack]], too.
** And ''Kyle freaking Katarn'' in [[Star Wars: Dark Forces|Jedi Outcast]].
** Strakk and Tarix in ''[[Bionicle|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.
** [[The Woobie|Xan]] in ''[[Baldur's Gate]]''.
Line 206 ⟶ 190:
** 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 (franchise)|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]]''.
Line 212 ⟶ 196:
* '''Gregg Berger'''
** [[Garfield and Friends|Orson Pig]] was the voice of [[Aaahh Real Monsters|the Gromble]]. Who knew?
*** Also the voice of [[Transformers|G1 Grimlock]] and [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|The Pain]].
** Huh, [[Final Fantasy X|Jecht]] sounds kinda familiar... Wait, he's ''[[Spyro the Dragon|Hunter the Cheetah]]''?!
 
* '''Paul Bettany'''
** [[The Da Vinci Code|Silas]]? What are you doing working with [[Iron Man|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 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeToTrmIN4E 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 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QabMXrlmYXg&feature=youtu.be&t=375 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]]'', ''[[Wolf's Rain|Wolfs Rain]]'', ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex|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?
 
* '''EricClaudia BauzaBlack'''
** 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|Gears of War 3]]''
 
* '''[[Mel Blanc]]'''
Line 228:
 
* '''[[Brian Blessed]]!'''
** The game may not have been great, and the actor could've been missed due to his uncharacteristic [[Large Ham|un-hammy]] performance; but the Admiral in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' Firewarrior was voiced by '''''BRIAN BLESSED'''''.
** The villianous Clayton in Disney's ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' is '''''BLESSED'''''-- as is the Tarzan yell, as Tarzan's regular voice actor couldn't do it vigorously enough!
** '''''BLESSED''''' voices [[Star Wars|Boss Nass]], too!
Line 246:
** Steve Blum is the voice for Captain Bartlett in ''Ace Combat 5''. So, essentially, you're flying wingman for [[Cowboy Bebop|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.
*** [[Dawn of War|"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.
Line 270:
*** And he'll be Starscream in ''[[Transformers Prime]]''.
** He also voices ''[[Bulletstorm|Grayson Hunt]]''
** He now voices the Red Skull in ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]'', meaning he now has had the honor of voicing two of Marvel's [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]]s. 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 [[Title Drop|titular]] ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]''.
Line 288:
** Jessica has a "kind, but shy & unconfident young girl" voice that she used for [[Angelic Layer|Misaki Suzuhara]] and [[Chrono Crusade|Azmaria Hendric]].
** She was also the rather more self-assured Nayuki Minase in ''[[Kanon]]''.
** Now that you mention it, [[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi|Arumi Asahina]] ''does'' sound like [[Azumanga Daioh|Chiyo-chan]] if she were older and had an Osakan accent...
 
* '''Powers Boothe'''
Line 315:
** He's also ''[[Warriors Orochi|two]]'' [[Sengoku Basara|versions]] of the same [[wikipedia:Sanada Yukimura|historical figure]] and both tends to [[Hack and Slash|slaughter hordes of enemies]].
** And now, with [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]], he's [[Mega Man X|Zero]].
** [[Durarara!!|Izaya]], anyone?
** Not to mention all the roles he's played under the pseudonym [[Kevin Hatcher]], such as Yuichi Taira in ''[[Paranoia Agent]]''.
 
Line 325:
 
* '''[[Clancy Brown]]'''
** Clancy Brown you may recognize as [[DCAUSpongeBob SquarePants|LexMr. LuthorKrabs]].
** 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 [[Highlander|the Kurgan]].
** Or [[Carnivale|Brother Justin Crowe]].
** Or [[SpongeBob SquarePants|Mr. Krabs]].
*** And he [[Complete Monster|mercilessly]] hammers the imagination out of a [[Phineas and Ferb|certain famous cartoon brotherly duo]]. This Troper realized just a while back that it was [[SpongeBob SquarePants|Mr. Krabs]] and/or [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Long Feng]] who was doing this!
** Or [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Long Feng]]. Or the [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Dark Dragon]].
** He's also the voice of Raiden in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm|Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm]]'' - a role that was played by Christopher Lambert in [[The Movie]].
** And [[The Spectacular Spider-Man|Captain George Stacy.]]
Line 343:
** Odin in ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|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]]'''
Line 354 ⟶ 355:
* '''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 [[The Aristocats|Napoleon]], [[Robin Hood (Disney film)|The Sheriff Of Nottingham]], [[The Rescuers (Disney film)|Luke]], [[The Fox and the Hound (film)|Chief]], [[Garfield and Friends|Cactus Jake]], and one of the toon bullets who assists Eddie Valiant in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''.
 
== C ==
 
* '''Maria Canalis (Barrera)'''
Line 412 ⟶ 415:
**** 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 ''[[Killer 7Killer7]]'' 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 [[Tales of Symphonia|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]]''.
Line 447 ⟶ 450:
 
* '''[[Colleen Clinkenbeard]]'''
** When watching ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion|Evangelion 1.0]]'', ''[[One Piece]]'', and then ''[[ShuffleSHUFFLE!]]'', one may be slightly surprised that [[Hot Scientist|Ritsuko Akagi]] and [[Covert Pervert|Kareha]] share a voice. Realizing that they both share the same voice as ''[[Idiot Hero|Luffy]]'', however? [[Mind Screw]], much...
** Also, [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Riza Hawkeye]], [[Ghost Hunt|Ayako]] and [[xxxHolic×××HOLiC|Yuuko]]
** Patricia Tannis and Siren in ''[[Borderlands]]'' as well.
** And [[Ouran High School Host Club|Eclaire]]
** She is also [[Trinity Blood|Esther]], [[Black Blood Brothers|Mimiko]], and Galatea in ''[[Claymore]]'', as well as having a small part in ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]''.
 
* '''[[Stephen Colbert]]'''
Line 461 ⟶ 464:
 
* '''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 [[Actor Allusion|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 [[Jerkass|an insufferable jerk]] and Optimus Prime's [[The Rival|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]]''.
 
Line 469 ⟶ 472:
 
* '''[[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—as well as Huntress' boy toy), and before that he filled in as the Scarecrow in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|The New Batman Adventures]]'' (the tail end of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'').
** He also plays the Leader on ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]''.
** And now he's Ratchet on ''[[Transformers Prime]]''.
Line 519 ⟶ 522:
** 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 ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' was one of the more [[Narm|Narmful]]ful 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.
Line 538 ⟶ 541:
** Surprisingly, he now voices [[Thanos]] in ''[[The Superhero Squad Show]]''.
** He was the Terror Mask in the remake of ''[[Splatterhouse]]''.
** [[Cat DogCatDog|Cat]].
 
* '''[[Tim Curry]]'''
Line 559 ⟶ 562:
** ''[[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]]''.
Line 574 ⟶ 578:
 
* '''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]]'''
Line 597 ⟶ 601:
* '''Melissa Davis'''
** Her most famous role? [[Pani Poni Dash!|A certain so-called boring girl called Kurumi Momose]].
** She voices the girl of the Illusionary World in [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]], as well as...Botan. No, really.
** [[Kanon|She would also slay invisible demons with a samurai sword]] and be involved in missions with [[Devil May Cry|Dante]] (in the anime, anyways).
** She doesn't speak often as [[Angel Beats!|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 [[Le Chevalier d'Eon|Queen Elizabeth]].
** Her very first role was voicing Skuld in [[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok]].
Line 621 ⟶ 625:
*** Also in the DCAU, Andrea Beaumont/Phantasm in ''[[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm]]''.
 
* '''[[Grey DeLisle|Grey De Lisle]]'''
** I actually pointed at the screen at that point and shouted "OMG, it's Azula! This [[Mass Effect|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 [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Azula]].
** I did a double-take the first time I heard Azula talk, I never expected the voice actress for [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|Mandy]] and [[Fairly Oddparents|Vicky]] to show up on ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
** And don't forget that she's also the current [[Scooby Doo|Daphne]]...and [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Frankie]]!
** And [[Danny Phantom|Sam]]!
Line 635 ⟶ 639:
** Or [[Xiaolin Showdown|Kimiko]].
** She's also [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Fire]]. I guess she isn't worried about being typecast as a flame wielding lady.
** Nah, after her work as [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Black Canary]], everyone now will expect her to sing -- andsing—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 [[Vampire Bloodlines|Therese Voreman]] when he suddenly realized she sounded awfully familiar. Especially considering what you later find out about [[Split Personality|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 [[Star Wars: Clone Wars|Asajj Ventress]], [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|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).
Line 646 ⟶ 650:
** And [[The Weekenders|Lor]]
** A REALLY [[Complete Monster|monstrous]] asari businesswoman in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' and its sequel.
** Nova and every Banshee in ''[[StarcraftStarCraft II]]''.
** The female Wizard in ''[[Diablo III]]'', the fact that her portrait looks like Azula definitely helps too.
 
Line 678 ⟶ 682:
* 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'''
** VoicesDinsmore bothvoices Mr.Dave Ratburn and the Bionic Bunny fromRead, [[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'s dad and HughWilliam DarrowTaggart in ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]''.
** Don't forget Tubby from ''[[Little Lulu|The Little Lulu Show]]''.
 
* '''[[Ben Diskin]]'''
Line 692 ⟶ 700:
 
* '''[[James Doohan]]'''
** In ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series|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 [[Saints Row|tattoo-clad gangster who beats the crap out of everyone he sees]]? And getting {{spoiler|tattooed with toxic waste}}? 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|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: The Animated Series|Superman: TAS]]''. For some reason the role was recast in JLU.
Line 712 ⟶ 720:
** 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 [[Memetic Mutation|Complete. Galactic. SATURATION.]]
** What you probably ''didn't'' realize was that he was the voiceover narration in the GEICO commercials -- notcommercials—not the CGI gecko, but the voice that says:
{{quote|"GEICO. A fifteen-minute call could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance."}}
** He's also Grimoire Noir in ''[[Nie RNieR]]'', and sounds almost identical to the voice he uses for Wesker.
 
* '''Dom DeLuise'''
Line 743 ⟶ 751:
** [[Captain Obvious|Faith]] in [[Chaos Bleeds]].
