Line 30:
* '''J. Grant Albrecht'''
** Although [[Destroy All Humans!|Crypto]] sounds like [[Jack Nicholson]], he doesn't voice him. [[Metal Gear Solid|The End]] does.
* '''Alan Alda'''
Line 68:
** Tristan Taylor in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. 4Kids dub, of course.
** I swear I once saw a gum commercial where he was narrating. I'd automatically turn my head because.....hey, Tristan!
** He's now working for the TLC channel for their promos.
* '''[[Greg Ayres]]'''
Line 119:
** 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'''
Line 156:
* '''[[Kathleen Barr]]'''
** When
* '''[[Dante Basco]]'''
Line 176:
** 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.
** Several voices in ''[[Syphon Filter]]: Dark Mirror''.
** Not to mention Drew Pickles, Chaz Finster, and Grandpa Boris on ''[[Rugrats]]''.
** He also, in a Christmas special, provided the voice of everyone's favorite [[Bloom County|neurotic penguin from the funny pages]]
Line 185:
* '''H. Jon Benjamin'''
** H. Jon Benjamin as [[Home Movies|Coach McGuirk]], [[Family Guy|Carl]], [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|a giant moth monster (man)]],[[Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil|The Devil]], even [[The Venture Brothers|an omnipotent master who hides in a necromancer's daughter's closet]]...
** When I watched ''[[Martin And Orloff]]'' I heard his voice knew I had heard it somewhere before. I was happy to finally put a face to the voice of Benjamin Katz.
** Um, ''[[Archer]]'', anyone?
Line 245:
{{quote|'''"Oh thank heaven."'''}}
** 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 (
*** 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."]]
Line 272:
** 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]]. 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]]''.
** Dark Star, the [[Final Boss|Top Ranked Assassin]] in "[[No More Heroes]]".
** He is the ass-kicker [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Taskmaster]] to your ass-kickee.
** He puts on an Australian accent as John Sinamoi from [[Dead Island]].
Line 306:
**** He's also the voice of [[The Last Remnant|Rush Sykes]].
** And maggot-obsessed Reiji from ''[[Gate Keepers]]''.
** On the subject of ''Valkyrie Profile 2'', HOW has NO ONE noticed [[Bleach|Ichigo]] playing the role as a villain?
** Go watch an episode of ''[[Trigun]]'' in the English version. Pay attention to Vash's voice. Then go play any of the three ''.hack//GU'' games, again in English. Surprise! Johnny Yong Bosch is there as well, playing another gun-toting, lovable character named Kuhn. The resemblance between the two is actually almost eerie.
** He also played Archer and PJ in ''[[Ace Combat]] 5'' and ''Zero'' respectively. They actually sound the same in both roles.
Line 312:
** And he's [[Final Fantasy II|Firion]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''. Firion's voice is alternately a dead ringer for Ichigo or Lelouch, depending on the scene. It's uncanny, really.
*** He's recently been cast as [[Naruto|Sasori]], who sounds like an odd cross between Itsuki and Lelouch.
** And he's even in ''[[Seirei no Moribito]]'' as the First Prince and some random mook. Made this troper think that every anime that is not dubbed by 4-Kids has to have at least him, Steven Blum, Vic Mignogna, or Yuri Lowenthal.
** 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]]''.
* '''Chris Britton'''
Line 376:
* '''Toran Caudell'''
** [[Recess|King Bob]] and [[Hey Arnold!|Wolfgang]] are the same person.
*** Also [[Hey Arnold!|Arnold's]] original voice actor until he hit puberty.
Line 450:
** Also, [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Riza Hawkeye]], [[Ghost Hunt|Ayako]] and [[xxxHolic|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 Than Black]]''.
Line 474:
* '''[[Justin Cook]]'''
** This Troper noted that Justin Cook lent his distinctive vocal cords to an episode of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. It was really, ''really'' hard not to think of [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Yusuke Urameshi]] that whole time.
** I, who heard Jusin Cook as Dietrich from ''[[Trinity Blood]]'' first, keeps expecting Yusuke to suddenly go insane and try to destroy the world.
*** I had the same reaction when I heard [[Fruits Basket|Hatsuharu]] speak for the first time.
Line 489:
* '''[[Alyson Court]]'''
** It probably shouldn't be too surprising that the same voice of the girl that palled around with [[Beetlejuice (animation)|the Ghost with the Most]] would also be the voice of the girl that [[Resident Evil|mows down hordes of zombies]].
** She was also [[Clifford the Big Red Dog|Emily Elizabeth]] over a decade before [[Grey DeLisle|Grey De Lisle]] was Emily Elizabeth.
** [[X-Men (animation)|Jubilee]] moonlighted as [[The Big Comfy Couch|Loonette the Clown]].
Line 510:
** He sang the Shell theme song in one of their commercials. As he started doing so, the animated Shell logo/mascot in the lower right corner said "I know that voice!"
** Bing also sang and narrated the "Sleepy Hollow" segment from Disney's ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]'', as well as providing the voices for Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones.
** He was also one of the singers in a classic ''[[Little Lulu]]'' short. Look it up.
* '''[[Peter Cullen]]'''
Line 517:
** Speaking of ''[[Knight Rider]]'', the voice of KITT's [[Evil Twin]] KARR was provided by none other than Peter Cullen, an actor who would later become very well known for voicing another vehicle of radically different morality.
** Not to mention helping out another giant robot who needed a narrator, and then a commander for its second incarnation. "From Days Of Long Ago...From Uncharted Regions Of The Galaxy...Comes A Legend...The Legend Of...[[Voltron]], Defender Of The Universe." To use the vehicle analogy again, that intro is like the supremely cool hood ornament on a sweet set of wheels.
** 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]]'' was one of the more [[Narm|Narmful]] television viewing moments for me.
Line 534:
** Cummings does a lot of work on ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', as well. One of his roles is even an [[Affectionate Parody]] of Minsc: an office worker-turned-berserker named Moosk.
*** One of his most tapped impressions is Sterling Holloway; in addition to Holloway characters Pooh and Kaa (in ''Jungle Cubs'' and ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]] 2''), he's also been used in ''[[Animaniacs]]'' as a narrator of "touching, heartfelt stories."
** The top of this page mentions playing a voice-actor version of the [[Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon]] game. Since Jim Cummings played Steele opposite [[Kevin Bacon]]'s [[Balto]], you can play the original version as well.
** Incidentally, he also has a memorable supporting role as the military General in the English dub of ''[[Laputa: Castle in the Sky]]'', which is not too much different than his voicing of Razoul in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''
** Surprisingly, he now voices [[Thanos]] in ''[[The Superhero Squad Show]]''.
Line 570:
** He also plays Mr. Kusakabe in Disney's redub of ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]''
* '''Anthony Daniels'''
** While most famous for playing the droid [[Star Wars|C-3P0]], Daniels has had roles in which he appeared out of costume, including [[The Coroner]] on ''[[Prime Suspect]]''.
Line 614:
** He also uses his future Mandark voice for Snipes in ''[[Rock-a-Doodle]]''.
** Did you forget the pilot episode of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]''? That's him as the ram.
** He also played a politically correct comedian in the ''[[Duckman]]'' episode "Joking the Chicken".
* '''Dana Delaney'''
Line 634:
** Don't forget her roles as [[The Replacements|Riley]] and [[As Told by Ginger|Brandon]].
** 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 -- 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.
Line 665:
*** Not to mention [[Gears of War|Marcus Fenix]], [[Samurai Jack|The Scotsman]], and [[Princess Mononoke|Gonza]]. Would this make John DiMaggio one of the best people ever?
*** [[Chowder|Radda Radda]]! (Translation: Oh, hell yeah!)
*** At one point he became an army of [[Halo|apes]] [[In Space|INSPACE]]!!!!!!
*** [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|only one word need be said]]: '''OUTRAGEOUS!'''
*** '''[[Fish Hooks|JOCKTOPUS!!!]]'''
Line 683:
* '''[[Ben Diskin]]'''
** [[Naruto|Sai]] is [[Codename: Kids Next Door|Numbuh One]].
** Few things are weirder than hearing [[Bleach|Szayel Aporro Granz]] speak in English when you realize it's Numbuhs 1 ''and'' 2 talking about crushing guts with voodoo dolls.
** He's [[Blood+|Kai]] too.
Line 695:
* '''[[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.
Line 714:
** What you probably ''didn't'' realize was that he was the voiceover narration in the GEICO commercials -- 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 R]]'', and sounds almost identical to the voice he uses for Wesker.
* '''Dom DeLuise'''
Line 723:
* '''Robert Atkin Downes'''
** Robin Atkin Downes, [[No More Heroes|Travis']] VA, is practically synonymous with the US voice acting industry. Among others, you'll find him playing [[Valkyria Chronicles|Faldio]], [[Final Fantasy Tactics|Delita]], [[Uncharted|Navarro and Tenzin]] (which made me do a double take during the credits), and numerous additional voices in countless games and cartoons.
** Another one for the record: the [[Team Fortress 2|Medic]]. And he has a mighty impressive IM Bd page as well.
** Three more! Garino Creale Corsione, Al Pettina the Casino Manager, and Zell Condorbrave, all antagonists in ''[[Gungrave]]: Overdose''.
Line 731:
** Holy shit, he voiced {{spoiler|young}} Lorenzo from ''[[Haunting Ground]]'' and Akechi Samanosuke from [[Onimusha|Onimusha 3]]!
** While it might be a bit harder to hear, he voiced Kazuhira Miller in ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]''. Along with this, he was also the voice talent for one of the random voices that recruits may have.
** Though this falls more into [[Hey, It's That Guy!]], he also played the [[Wangst|infamous]] [[The Scrappy|Byron]] on ''[[Babylon 5]]''.
** Baron Zemo in ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]''.
