Hey, It's That Voice!/A to D: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

* '''[[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]]''.

 

* '''Lori Alan'''

** She also voiced Pearl from ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Felina Feral in ''[[Swat Kats]]'', and Diane Simmons (as well as various bit parts) in ''[[Family Guy]]''.

 

 

* '''[[Ed Asner]]'''

** ...and Granny Goodness in ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]''. Who's '''still''' essentially Ed Asner.

** And now [[Pixar]]'s ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]''.

** 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.

** He's also [[Fallout: New Vegas|over 250 years old]] and commands an army of robots.

** And Chef Louis from ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''.

** 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]]''.

 

* '''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.

 

* '''[[Diedrich Bader]]'''

** 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]]."

** 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]]''.

** 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.

** 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]]''.

** 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]]''.

 

 

* '''[[Christian Bale]]'''

 

* '''[[Dee Bradley Baker]]'''

** 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.

** Also [[Soul Eater|Excalibur]]

 

* '''(Long) John William Baldry'''

** 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}}.

** 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.

 

* '''Emily Bauer/Blau/Jenness'''

** [[Ah! My Goddess|Megumi Morisato]] shares a voice with [[Pokémon (anime)|Dawn and Cynthia]].

 

* '''[[Michael Bell]]'''

** 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.

** 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.

 

* '''[[Jeff Bennett]]'''

*** 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]], too.

** And ''Kyle freaking Katarn'' in [[Star Wars: Dark Forces|Jedi Outcast]].

** 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, by extension, Barbie in ''Toy Story 3''.

** She was also Tula in ''[[The Pirates of Dark Water]]''.

* '''Paul Bettany'''

** [[The Da Vinci Code|Silas]]? What are you doing working with [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]]? (Paul Bettany did both Silas and Jarvis).

 

* '''[[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?

 

* '''[[Mel Blanc]]'''

 

* '''[[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!

** 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...

*** [[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.

*** And he'll be Starscream in ''[[Transformers Prime]]''.

** He also voices ''[[Bulletstorm|Grayson Hunt]]''

** 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]]''.

** 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]]''.

 

* '''Powers Boothe'''

 

* '''[[Clancy Brown]]'''

** 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]].

*** 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]].

** 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.

 

* '''[[Corey Burton]]'''

* '''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?]]''.

 

* '''Maria Canalis (Barrera)'''

* '''[[Colleen Clinkenbeard]]'''

** When watching ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion|Evangelion 1.0]]'', ''[[One Piece]]'', and then ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'', 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...

** Patricia Tannis and Siren in ''[[Borderlands]]'' as well.

** And [[Ouran High School Host Club|Eclaire]]

 

* '''[[Jeffrey Combs]]'''

** He also plays the Leader on ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]''.

** And now he's Ratchet on ''[[Transformers Prime]]''.

** 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.

** 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.

** ''[[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.

 

* '''E.G. (Elizabeth) Daily'''

** Tommy Pickles on ''[[Rugrats]]''. Buttercup on ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.

 

* '''William Daniels'''

 

* '''[[Keith David]]'''

* '''Melissa Davis'''

** Her most famous role? [[Pani Poni Dash!|A certain so-called boring girl called Kurumi Momose]].

** [[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!

*** Also in the DCAU, Andrea Beaumont/Phantasm in ''[[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm]]''.

 

** 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]].

** 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]]!

** 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.

*** 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.

** 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 [[The Weekenders|Lor]]

** A REALLY [[Complete Monster|monstrous]] asari businesswoman in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' and its sequel.

** The female Wizard in ''[[Diablo III]]'', the fact that her portrait looks like Azula definitely helps too.

 

* Not to mention, [[The Joker]] in ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''.

* Rico in ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]''.

* If you can even hear a little bit of Bender or Marcus in a voice, it is probably him.

 

 

* '''[[James Doohan]]'''

 

* '''[[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.

** 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.

** 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.]]

* '''Dom DeLuise'''

** [[Captain Obvious|Faith]] in [[Chaos Bleeds]].
