Line 2:
* '''Greg Eagles'''
** In the American version of ''Metal Gear Solid'', Greg Eagles voices Peter Stillman, the DARPA chief, and Gray Fox - all with almost exactly the same voice. In the remake, Gray Fox got a new voice actor. The Japanese version did this for effect, casting three out of four clones with the same voice actor and casting the remaining clone as a voice actor who was often a 'stand-in' for the other actor, the idea being that the voice sounded the same but ''ever so slightly off''.
** He was also the [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|Grim Reaper]].
*** This Troper cannot listen to Aku Aku from the newer ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' games without thinking of ol' Grim.
** Previous to that, he voiced another, more obscure character with a Jamaican accent: Captain Bob from HBO Family's ''Crashbox''.
Line 12:
 
* '''Susan Egan'''
** For quite a while, whenever [[Disney]] needed a young female [[Deadpan Snarker]], they turned to Susan Egan (for instance, as Meg in ''[[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hercules]]'', and Lin in ''[[Spirited Away]]'').
 
* '''Paul Eiding'''
** I love replaying ''[[Diablo]]'', so I can hear Colonel Campbell narrate it.
** He's also Grampa Max in ''[[Ben 10]]''. Turn off the console indeed.
** This led to an odd moment in one episode which I am not sure was [[Actor Allusion|intentional]] or just very unfortunate and [[Nightmare Fuel|terrifying]] coincidence. It's an episode where Ben and Gwen go [[Trapped in TV Land|into a video game]], and Grandpa Max, noticing that the console is on and the kids are absent, says, in an unusually deep and authoritative voice, "''I thought I told you to turn the game console off!''" {{smallcapssmall-caps|Aaaagh!}}
*** It probably was intentional, considering the same director (Kris Zimmerman) handled both the ''Metal Gear Solid'' dubs and ''[[Ben 10]]''.
*** Which would explain his line in the last episode of season 2 as Gwen ran into trouble in the Null Void: "Gwen, what's going on? GWEN!"
Line 25:
** He plays almost every single elderly man in ''[[Fallout 3]]'', using the ''exact same voice'' for all of them. Hearing that very same voice being used for Dock/Shu/Bushi in the ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' episode "The Painted Lady" brought up flashbacks of Nathan, Evan King, Abraham Washington, Comrade Cheng, Old Man Harris....
** He plays [[Nikola Tesla]] in ''[[Dark Void]]'', as well as the Village Priest guy.
** He has three different roles in ''[[No More Heroes]]: Desperate Struggle''-- the—the [[Opening Narration|Narrator]], and Ranks 9 and 3 (Million Gunman and Captain Vladimir, respectively).
** In the third [[Onimusha]] game he plays Akechi Mitsuhide, leader of the attack against [[Oda Nobunaga]].
** '[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Raiden]] -- er—er, [[Teen Titans (animation)|Robin]], get to the train and explore the world!' -- [[Dark Cloud|Cedric]]
** He also played the monk Paul Luther in ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'', as well as a few minor roles.
** In [[Transformers Generation 1]] he was Perceptor.
Line 55:
** [[Final Fantasy VIII|Squall]] is voiced by [[Digimon Adventure|MetalSeadramon, Angemon]] and [[Digimon Adventure 02|T.K.]] Also [[Street Fighter|Vega]].
** Don't forget [[Affably Evil]] [[Bleach|Ichimaru Gin]].
** Speaking of Gin, he also voiced [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Hazama]].
 
* '''Bill Fagerbakke'''
Line 97:
** Sergeant Reynolds from ''[[Halo 3]]''. Keep him alive until the end of the third mission, and as you reach Voi he says "Looks like we got here just in the nick of time. What do you think that makes us?" Of course, there is only one response: "[[Big Damn Heroes]], sir!"
** He's also the voice and [[Ink Suit Actor|face]] of the ODST Squad Leader in ''Halo 3: ODST''.
** He's also provided voices for the DC Universe animated shows: the Vigilante in episodes of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' (as well as an uncredited stint as Spy Smasher in the "Patriot Act" episode of the same show), and Steve Trevor in the 2009 animated DVD feature ''[[Wonder Woman (animation)|Wonder Woman]]'' (wherein the golden lasso of truth causes him to blurt out to Queen Hippolyta and her Amazon guards that Diana has a great rack -- awkwardrack—awkward!)
** What do you expect from a guy who refers to his member as a [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|hammer]]? Awkward doesn't faze him!
 
Line 109:
* '''[[June Foray]]'''
** [[Rocky and Bullwinkle|Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Natasha Fatale]] are voiced by the same person as [[Looney Tunes|Granny]]. Wow.
** And so is [[DuckTales (1987)|Magica DeSpell]]. And Ma Beagle.
** And so many others, from the Golden Age of theatrical cartoons to today (she's still working!)
** "June Foray isn't the female [[Mel Blanc]]. Mel Blanc is the male June Foray." -- [[Chuck Jones]].
 
* '''Michelle Forbes'''
** Hey, what's [[24|Lynne Kresge]]/[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Ensign Ro]]/[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Admiral Cain]] doing at [[Half-Life|Black Mesa East]] (as Judith Mossman)?
** I know -- deadknow—dead bodies are piling up in [[Homicide: Life Onon the Street|Baltimore]]!
 
* '''Robert Forster'''
Line 161:
** Will Turner in the games ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: The Legend of Jack Sparrow'' is...well, who else: Crispin Freeman.
** And let's not forget [[Scrapped Princess|Shannon Casull]].
** He had a memorable cameo at the end of ''[[Film/HowlsHowl's Moving Castle (anime)|HowlsHowl's Moving Castle]]''.
** I had an absolute nerdgasm when I realized Crispin Freeman and [[Christian Bale]] were in the same movie together, even if they don't interact and the former has one line.
*** Same for me when I noticed he and Stephen Blum played absolute badasses Heat and Gale together in ''[[Digital Devil Saga]].''
*** And they do so again in ''[[Last Exile]]'', which made me do a male-pattern mental [[Squee]].
** The first time I heard Crispin was in ''[[Xenosaga]]''. I wasn't familiar with him at the time, and it was a surprise to me that he was both Nigredo and Albedo. They didn't sound the same to me until I learned they were both Crispin. After watching a few of his anime though, the only time I've ''not'' been able to recognize Crispin's voice was when he played Tabool in ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]''. This was a considerably older anime and he was relatively new to the scene back then, so perhaps his voice changed a little. He was also playing a child in that series which is rare, but it's hard to believe that it was his voice.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v17gWskmvYA He is utterly and completely incapable of playing a] [[Fake Brit]] (around the 5 minute mark).
*** [[So Bad It's Good|And it's hilarious]].
Line 188:
** [[Punky Brewster]] was also Mary, the zookeeper in the [[Johnny Bravo]] pilot, and she's also been a voice in the Bratz videos.
* '''[[Jun Fukuyama]]'''
** Jun Fukuyama will be indefinitely associated with one of the most [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastards]]s in the history of anime - [[Code Geass|Lelouch Lamperouge]]. Although none of his other roles has so far been [[Memetic Mutation|FABULOUS]] enough to match that performance in terms of awesome, but it really hard not to think of Lulu when watching shows like ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' and ''[[Amatsuki]]''...
** I first heard Fukuyama as super-uke Ayase from Okane na Gai.* That* screwed up my perception of all his other characters for a while! Even now she can't take Lelouch seriously.
** Try imagining Lelouch as [[Dissidia Final Fantasy|freaking Onion Knight]]. Your brain hurts, now, doesn't it?
** Even when he's not Zero, he still gets a chance to use the "Zero voice". Like with Kei in ''[[Special A]]''. Also, between ''Amatsuki'', ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'', ''[[Rental Magica]]'', and ''Code Geass'' - that's a lot of characters with eye problems.
** Jun Fukuyama uses his "Zero voice" again on a character who doesn't have eye problems in [[Valkyria Chronicles]], with ''Prince'' Maximillian.
*** {{spoiler|and he gets killed by Suzaku (Takahiro Sakurai) again in [[Valkyria Chronicles]]}}
Line 280:
* '''Ron Glass'''
** ''[[Fable II]]'' has Ron Glass, known as the Preacher from ''[[Firefly]]''.
** God, I'm getting old -- toold—to me, he will always be [[Barney Miller|Sergeant Harris of the 12th Precinct]].
 
* '''[[The Goodies]]'''
Line 290:
** She also played another mad sorceress in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'s'' Alcyone.
 
* '''[[YukoYūko GotoGotō]]'''
** When [[Mapi-chan|I watched]] episode 18 of ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'', I was freaked out when I realized that [[Tomokazu Sugita]] voiced both Kyon and Rin. Cut to a [[Nightmare Fuel]] [[Imagine Spot]], where I imagined that [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Mikuru]] slashed Kyon's eye with a boxcutter.
** Same thing in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'': When the Maou Queen showed up, she immediately called [[YukoYūko GotoGotō|Yuko Goto's]] voice on it. The [[Once an Episode]] commercial break [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] things even further by giving the Maou Queen that [[Suzumiya Haruhi|waitress costume, with the fingers over the eye, and the line "Sumeshi Beam!" (Vinegar'd Rice Beam!)]]
** Combines with [[Name's the Same]] for extra fun, if you want to dig into some of her lesser-known works. Both ''Mizuiro'' and ''[[Lamune]]'' feature a male protagonist named Kenji. In both, [[YukoYūko GotoGotō]] plays the childhood friend of said male protagonist. In both, she can be heard saying "Ken-chan" frequently... ''with the exact same tone''.
 
* '''Gilbert Gottfried'''
Line 301:
 
* '''Alexnander Gould'''
** It was bad enough that the adult characters in ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' were almost all [[Ink Suit Actor|Ink Suit Actors]]s, but now every time This Troper sees little Nemo swimming off so happy on his first day of fish school, he thinks "[[Weeds|Hello teachers, parents, step- parents, siblings, boyfriends and girlfriends of parents,]].... [[Calling the Old Man Out|YOU HAVE FAILED US ALL!!]]
 
* '''Tiffany Grant'''
Line 320:
** He was sad when Treecko evolved because he couldn't voice it anymore.
** I can't imagine [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers|Grovyle]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|playing Duel Monsters]].
** [[Now and Then, Here and There|Nabuca]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|can do whatever he wants because he's voiced by]] '''[[Dan Green]]'''!!!
** He's also done work on the dubs of a couple of hentai animes. Under a different name, of course. Yes, really.
 
Line 334:
 
* '''[[Todd Haberkorn]]'''
** The same guy who plays [[xxxHolic×××HOLiC|Watanuki]] also plays the [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] [[Ghost Hunt|Naru]]? Opposite [[J Michael Tatum|Doumeki]]? :D
** And he's also the brother of [[Initial D|Ryosuke]] who is ALSO played by Tatum. Mind = blown.
** [[D.Gray-man|Allen Walker]] = [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Ling Yao]] = [[Ouran High School Host Club|Hikaru]] = [[Soul Eater|Death the Kid]] = [[Baccano!|Firo Prochainezo]]? Now that's a lot to digest!
Line 383:
** The Birthday Bandit from ''[[Teamo Supremo]]'' sounds quite like [[The Joker]].
** He also did the Hobgoblin in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, sounding like a more restrained Joker.
** His turn as Jason Macendale within the same show sounded a lot more like Mark himself, as did, ironically, his turn as The Trickster in JLU's 'Flash And Substance'. The kick of that is, of course, that playing The Trickster in the 90's ''[[The Flash (TV series1990)|The Flash]]'' series is what got him the part as Joker in the DCAU (and endless games/extras) in the first place.
** He also did a few voices in ''[[Time Squad]]'', including, oddly enough, Larry 3000.
** He also got to play the Mayor of Pejite in ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]''.
Line 396:
 
* '''Mark Harmon'''
** Holy CRAP! [[NCIS|Gibbs]] is ''[[Justice League: Crisis Onon Two Earths|Superman ]]''!
 
* '''Jess Harnell'''
** The 2005-2008 voice of ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' sound a bit like [[Animaniacs|Wakko Warner]].
** Was [[Chalk ZoneChalkZone|a owner of a meat shop called "The Beaf Meet"]].
** Bere-Rabbit in [[Kinect Disneyland]].
 
Line 423:
*** Not so. That credit goes to the PSX game ''Blasto''.
** He's also heard at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disney World]] at ''The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management''
** He was also [[Animaniacs|Dan Anchorman/Slam Fondlesome]] in one of the Animaniacs cartoons. He also was [[Dennis the Menace|Mr. Wilson and Dennis' father]] in the first season of the cartoon. Plus there were bit one-shot roles in [[Darkwing Duck]], [[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]], [[DuckTales (1987)]], and [[Tale Spin]] among other things.
 
* '''Dennis Haysbert'''
Line 442:
 
* '''Tricia Helfer'''
** The artificial intelligence EDI from ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' speaks with the voice of [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Cylon model 6]].
** The voice (and [[Ink Suit Actor|face]]) of Captain Veronica Dare in ''[[Halo|Halo 3: ODST]]''.
** And the [[StarcraftStarCraft II|Queen of Blades]]
 
* '''Lance Henriksen'''
Line 489:
* '''[[Ryo Hirohashi]]'''
** Whenever Tamaki from ''[[Bamboo Blade]]'' speaks, I expect Akari and Aika from ''[[Aria]]'' to join her, oars in hand. The deadpan delivery of her lines is just ''exactly'' the same as that of Alice Carroll, courtesy of Ryou Hirohashi.
** If you want to hear what she sounds like with emotion, watch ''[[Haibane Renmei]]''; her first voice-acting role for an anime was Rakka. She also did Kim Aba from [[Area 88]] and Fujibayashi Kyou from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''.
 
* '''[[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]'''
Line 538:
 
* '''[[Yui Horie]]'''
** [[Fruits Basket|Naïve Honda Tohru]] has been up to a lot of things. She's been the [[Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight|student council president]], [[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero|a maid in a magical world]], [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|a god]], [[Jubei-chan|a reincarnation of Yagyu Jubei]], [[Hayate the Combat Butler|a nun]], [[Love Hina|part of an unwanted harem]], [[Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru|a trap]], [[School Rumble|part of a love dodecahedron]], [[Sky Girls|fighting aliens while showing off her panties]] and [[Toradora!|has lots of part time jobs]]. She also [[Kanon|likes taiyaki]], [[Mahou Sensei Negima|is good at rythmic gymnastics]], and [[Saki (manga)|plays mahjong]] amongst many, many other things. And her favorite movie? '''[[Persona 4|TRIAL OF THE DRAGON!!]]'''
 
* '''[[Ryo Horikawa]]'''
Line 550:
** I nearly had a heart attack while absentmindedly having ''[[That's So Raven]]'' on behind surfing the net, because I heard Invader Zim/Dagget voice, and as it turned out it was him! (He was playing the boyfriend of a fashion designer).
** He's also Orthopox-13 in ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]''.
** [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|Billy and Billy's dad.]]
