Line 4:
 
* '''[[Shozo Iizuka]]'''
** In most series, anime or toku [[Shozo Iizuka]] does villain work using a similar tone and voice. Especially apparent in the ''Space Sheriff Trilogy'', where he voices all 3 of the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]]s, but in ''Gavan'', only for 10 eps before he came down with bronchitis and called in Takeshi Watabe. In Sharivan, voice effects are applied to him whenever Psycho speaks.
 
* '''[[Asami Imai]]'''
** Will forever be [[The Idolmaster (video game)|Chihaya Kisaragi]], her most popular character. It doesn't help that she has a very distinctive singing voice and did a lot of singing for that part: any time she sings a song, this trope is very likely to come into effect.
*** I suppose she broke away from it. I mean, look at [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Tsubaki Yayoi]]...
*** [[Steins;Gate|Kurisu Makise]] is now her role that's competing with Chihaya as Imagine's best known.
 
* '''[[Yuka Imai]]'''
** Yuka Imai, who was also [[Now and Then, Here and There|Nabuca]], [[Digimon Tamers|Renamon]], [[Fruits Basket|Arisa]], [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Wakaba]], [[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star|Kaoru]], [[Tales of Destiny|Rutee Katrea]], [[Mitsumete Knight|Priscilla Dolphan]], and [[Kisetsu o Dakishimete|Mayu]].
 
* '''[[Tetsu Inada]]'''
** Holy crap, <s>Elzam von Branstein</s> [[Super Robot Wars|Ratsel Feinschmeker]] is [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Harry Ord]]!
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DX_IaXs5YQ UNIVEEEEEEEEEEERSE!]
** There's a reason why we have the term of Inada Furry. Look at [[Bleach|Komamura Sajin]] or [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Doggie Kruger]]
Line 42:
 
* '''[[Unshou Ishizuka]]'''
** [[Asura's Wrath|Augus]] is a member of the [[Tekken|Mishima family]], the Narrator of {{Pokemon}[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] as well as Alder, and [[Naruto|Zabuza Momochi]].
 
* '''[[Miki Ito]]'''
** [[ShuffleSHUFFLE!|Asa-senpai]] and [[Fate/stay night|Fuji-nee]] sound almost exactly alike. [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Takano]] sounds like both if you tweak her voice a bit.
** Don't forget our beloved onee-sama [[Mariasama ga Miteru|Rosa Chinensis]]
** Hmm doesn't this voice also remind you of [[Dragon Ball|Android18]]
 
Line 56:
 
* '''[[Samuel L. Jackson]]'''
** I always though [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|Officer Tenpenny's]] voice sounded familiar (Okay, I did not check the instruction booklet), until the very last mission when he calls you a "**** ******* ************ "....There it hit me in the face: [[Samuel L. Jackson]]!
** [[The Incredibles|HONEY!? WHERE IS MY SUPERSUIT!?]]
** He was "Gin" Rummy on the ''[[The Boondocks]]'', a white gangsta.
** Between moments of [[Badass|badassitudebadass]]itude, he also got another paycheck signed by [[Quentin Tarantino]], as the narrator of ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]''.
** Seriously? Nobody's going to mention ''[[Afro Samurai]]''?
** He also narrated the Disney-produced documentary ''African Cats''. He is possibly the most intense narrator ever.
Line 66:
* '''Roger L. Jackson'''
** The title character in ''[[American McGee's Grimm]]'' considers cats to be ideal pets, since his voice actor, Roger L. Jackson, previously voiced a feline of the Cheshire variety. Grimm also is a complete and total fanboy for the fairytale figure, God[[Scream (film)|Father Death]]...
** And speaking of ''[[American McGee's Grimm]]]'', he does ''every single voice in the game''. That guy has an impressive vocal range.
** Not to mention that he's [[The Powerpuff Girls|Mojo Jojo.]]
*** Oh yes, so that's why when [[Baldur's Gate|Keldorn Firecam]] is yelling his righteous yells of justice, it sounded like Mojo Jojo having a [[Heel Face Turn]] and goes on hammy justice.
** And Butch of the ''Rowdyruff Boys''.
** In the ''[[Sam and Max]]'' episodic games, if a character has a deep voice, it's Roger L. Jackson. He's voiced Abe Lincoln, Baby Jimmy Hoffa, ''Satan'', Sexy Peepers...
** What about the movie role that put him on the map: The Killer's phone voice in ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]''
Line 79:
* '''[[Tony Jay]]'''
** Happens within the ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' series, where the late [[Tony Jay]] played at least three different characters (four if you include the demon possessing one of them), using more or less the same voice.
** Of course [[Tony Jay]] has what some would describe as the "perfect" bad guy voice... so you can expect to hear him cast in a generic bad guy role for tons of other videogames and animated shows. Of course, he was ''[[Re BootReBoot]]''{{'}}s Megabyte!
*** [[Tony Jay]] also voiced the character Spiderus in ''[[Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends]]'' and was also in both the television series ''[[Beauty and the Beast (TV series)|Beauty and The Beast]]'' and the Disney film version of ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]''.
**** And as Judge Frollo in Disney's ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''.
Line 89:
** Arguably the king of this trope in English-language voice acting.
** [[Tropers/Ziggy Stardust Forever|This troper]] once heard [[Tony Jay]] in a radio commercial for Nabob Coffee. BEST. COFFEE COMMERCIAL. EVER.
** Not forgetting the nefarious ''[[The Tick (animation)|Chairface Chippendale]]''
** ''"I shall write my name across the face of the moon!'' '''GIMME A C!'''"
** The narrator of the modernized incarnation of ''The Bard's Tale''.
Line 95:
** This troper has trouble taking that guy seriously after hearing him in Secret Squirrel. He was a much sillier character than usual.
** [[Treasure Planet|"On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful..."]] Exactly [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Frollo]]'s voice!
** He was also the Lamp Seller, the Arch Druid, and Captain Salidin in ''[[King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow]]''.
** He was Anubis on ''[[Gargoyles]]'', aka '''DEATH'''.
 
Line 110:
*** Wow, ''that'' would add [[Talking to Himself|surrealness]] to ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''.
*** In that movie Romero only dubbed Thulsa Doom, but he's dubbed Arnie in the three Terminator films.
** This is referenced in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' in "Round Springfield". Bleedin' Gums Murphy, dies and later gives a speech to Lisa via a cloud (itself a reference to ''[[The Lion King]]''), with the three characters above chiming in at the end.
** Also played with in ''[[Kung Pow]]'' with the Mufasa parody.
** In ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', he gives his voice to one of the bad guys of the first-season episode "Thor's Hammer"... It gets odd when you can't shake the feeling that Col. O'neill and Teal'c are talking to Darth Vader.
 
* '''Alessandro Juliani'''
** ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' videos on [[YouTube]] have lately been blasted by reams of ''[[Death Note]]'' fans squealing about the voice of their beloved L.
** He also was [[Bionicle|Toa Vakama]] and [[Beast Machines|Nightscream]]. And as a kid, [[Captain N|Kid Icarus]].
 
* '''Takeshi Kaga'''
** [[Iron Chef|Chariman Kaga]] is the voice of [[Big Bad|Golbez]] in the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' for the DS. He also reprises the role for ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''.
 
* '''[[Hiroshi Kamiya]]'''
Line 125:
** He also voices [[One Piece|Trafalgar Law]] and [[Digimon Frontier|Kouji Minamoto]].
** Don't forget [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Tieria Erde]]!
** And [[Durarara!!|Izaya]] and [[Arakawa Under the Bridge|Recruit]] and [[Bakemonogatari|Koyomi]] all sound strangely similar
 
* '''[[Mika Kanai]]'''
Line 134:
* '''[[Tom Kane]]'''
** Plays like every Imperial Officer in ''[[Star Wars]]'' video games, as well as a few characters in ''[[The Force Unleashed]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]''.
** Also notable for being [[Wolverine and the X-Men|MAG-FREAKING NETO!]].
** Don't forget [[Powerpuff Girls|Professor Utonium]].
 
* '''[[Boris Karloff]]'''
** The man born to voice horror-movie villains. Ironically, the role that made him famous, the Monster in ''[[Frankenstein]]'', doesn't have that much dialogue.
** Supplied the narration for the seminal animated adaption of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''.
 
* '''Casey Kasem'''
Line 156:
 
* '''David Kaufman'''
** [[Tropers/The Toon Geekette|This troper]] watched ''[[Freakazoid!]]'' for the first time since she was a youngster, and the minute Dexter Douglas first spoke, she thought ''"[[Danny Phantom]]?!"'' Apparently, David Kaufman must like voicing losers who turn into superheroes.
** Don't forget Jimmy Olson from ''[[Superman: The Animated Series|Superman the Animated Series]]''.
** This troper, in addition to hearing Danny in ''[[Freakazoid!]]'', also can't help but hear him instead of [[The Buzz on Maggie|Aldrin]] or Kaufman's narration during several commercials. Perhaps Danny's overshadowed all these people.
** It had a reverse effect on this troper- He heard Danny and thought "[[Back to The Future (cartoon)|Marty?!]]"
 
* '''[[Tomoko Kawakami]]'''
** You can easily tell that [[Kanon|Sayuri]] and [[AIR|Misuzu]] have the same seiyuu, because Misuzu's "Nihaha[[" sounds exactly like Sayuri's "Ahahaha]]"
** Rounding off [[Key Visual Arts]], [[Tomoko Kawakami]] also voices the Girl in the Illusionary World in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''.
** [[Gungrave|Mika!]] "Dr. Tokioka told me...about you. That you're a friend of my mother."
** Wait, why does this destructive little girl sound familiar? (checks seiyuu) ...[[Kanon|Sayuri]] = [[Elfen Lied|Ma]][[Person of Mass Destruction|ri]][[Tyke Bomb|ko]]?!
Line 177:
 
* '''Michael Keaton'''
** ''[[Batman]]'' voicing the rival car in ''[[Cars]]'' and Ken in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3''.
 
* '''Brandon Keener'''
Line 199:
** What no [[Powerpuff Girls]] mention? Tom Kenny voices the Mayor and the Narrator.
** Why wouldn't he be versatile? [[Plastic Man]] [[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|can expand]]!
** How can [[Cat DogCatDog|Dog]] be versatile when he's joined to his brother?
** He appears to use an identical voice for SpongeBob's dad and Wally from ''[[Mission Hill]]''. If you've seen the show, you'll know that some of the things Wally's said would be both creepy and hilarious coming from SpongeBob's old man.
** Rabbit in the new [[Winnie the Pooh|Pooh]] movie. This is either going to be really good, or really bad.
Line 207:
 
* '''[[Mami Kingetsu]]'''
** It feels really strange to hear [[Yume De Aetara|Nagisa Shiozaki]] and [[Princess Nine|Izumi Himuro]] with the same voice as [[Tokimeki Memorial|Shiori Fujisaki]]. Even more creepy, is that [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Alice]] sounds like what the Superstar of Kirameki High would be [[Face Heel Turn|if she turned evil]].
 
* '''Eri Kitamura'''
Line 216:
 
* '''Hidenobu Kiuchi'''
** [[Darker Thanthan Black|Hei]] is [[Monster (manga)|Tenma]].
 
* '''[[Sanae Kobayashi]]'''
** [[D.Gray-man|Allen Walker]] is ''[[Elfen Lied|Lucy]]?'' [[Nightmare Fuel|I don't think I'll ever sleep again]].
** Lucy is apparently also [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|the silver-haired avatar of an ancient magical tome that can destroy worlds]].
** And, Allen Walker is Namie Yagiri from Durarara... that's pretty hard to believe... a badass and messiah Exorcist is a brother-obsessed sister.
** Better yet, they apparently are also [[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch|an androgynous vampire]].
** She was, [[Super Smash Bros.|for at least twice]], [[Ice Climber|2 Eskimo children]].
 
* '''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'''
** When I first heard [[ToA AruCertain Kagaku noScientific Railgun|Wataru Kurozuma]] open his mouth, I half-expected him to break into a [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]] speech. Their voices are absolutely '''identical'''.
** Ever heard [[Assassin's Creed|Altair]] speak in Japanese? Hell YES he's voiced by Kamina in the dub!
 
Line 246:
** Just from [[Gundam]]:
*** [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Zechs Merquise]]
*** [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Gym Ghingnham]]
*** [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Mu La Flaga]]
** [[Overman King Gainer|Asuham Boone]]
Line 253:
 
* '''[[Rie Kugimiya]]'''
** Obviously, there exists [[Shakugan no Shana|Shana]], [[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero|Louise]], [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Nagi]], and [[Toradora!|Taiga]], so just [[Catch Phrase|shut up, shut up, and SHUT UP ALREADY!]]
** Though there are a few boy roles in the mix of [[Tsundere|tsunderestsundere]]s, like [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Alphonse Elric]] and [[Digimon Savers|Ikuto Noguchi]].
** And [[Gintama|Kagura]], aru.
** [[Rosario to+ Vampire|Mizore]] is [[Stalker with a Crush|stalking]] this article right now...
** And [[Saki (manga)|Yuuki]], who's more than fond of tacos.
** Not to mention [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Dark Lemonade]].
Line 275:
** Best known for being [[Pinky and The Brain|The Brain]], 89% of Maurice LaMarche's voice work sounds like he's doing an impression of [[Orson Welles]] (whom he's DIRECTLY impersonated at least four times), so it's very distinctive whenever it's heard.
** This also means that [[Codename: Kids Next Door|Father]] is voiced by the Brain?
** Note that he is almost completely unrecognizable as [[The Tick (animation)|The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight]], but quite recognizable as Morbo and Kif Kroker on ''[[Futurama]]'', among many others.
** He is also the narrator in ''[[Pom Poko]]''
** Also did a really good job of capturing Harold Ramis' quirky mannerisms in the role of Dr. Egon Spengler in ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]''
Line 286:
** Phil LaMarr voices both Vamp (sexy Eastern European bisexual possibly-a-vampire) from the above series, and Hermes Conrad from ''[[Futurama]]''. The worst part is that you can ''hear'' it.
** Phil had also voiced Reddas, a key character in the plot and a [[Guest Star Party Member]] in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''.
** A couple roles in the ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' series as well - the good gangster Gadon Thek in the first, and Captain/Major Riiken in the second. Identical to his John Stewart voice in both cases, which makes playing the games a bit hilarious at times.
** He's also [[Mercenaries|ExOps]] [[Private Military Contractors|mercenary]] Chris Jacobs. [[All There in the Manual|Apparently]] ex-Delta Force.
** He's the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Earth King]] as well.
** Phil also played the part of Mr. Sunshine in ''Saint's Row 2''. Its not very obvious though, just like [[Neil Patrick Harris]] as Veteran Child.
Line 318:
** Christopher Lee; Dracula, Saruman, Count Dooku... [[Kingdom Hearts|Ansem the Wise?]] Suprisingly not evil in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', though chillingly immoral {{spoiler|1=to the point where there's more than a little fan speculation that DiZ is a Nobody himself...}}.
** One rather weird example of voice recognition will occur if you ever watch the German dub of ''[[The Last Unicorn (animation)|The Last Unicorn]]''. That King Haggard sure sounds familiar...because it's actually Christopher Lee doing the dubbing. And may I add, he's pretty damn good at it.
** Hardly surprising-- Leesurprising—Lee speaks German, French, Spanish, and Italian fluently, and has some facility with even more languages.
*** Including the dark tongue of [[The Lord of the Rings|Mordor]].
** {{smallcapssmall-caps|[[Discworld|Death]]. 'Nuff said.}}
** And in [[Tim Burton]]'s ''[[Alice in Wonderland (film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', he gives an appropriately sinister voice to {{spoiler|the Jabberwock!}}
 
Line 330:
** [[Samurai Champloo|This happens]] [[Megas XLR|with those]] [[Rurouni Kenshin|two]] ''[[Relationship Voice Actor|a lot]]''.
*** This troper once played a single mission of ''[[Ace Combat]] 5'' for hours just to hear [[The Big O|Angel and Roger]] or [[Cowboy Bebop|Fay and Spike]] flirt.
** [[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu|Weda]] is sad and whining in one scene, and suddenly, Konata's voice comes out!
** One of the few kicks of the ''[[Tsukihime]]'' anime was noting how Normal Schoolgirl / [[Church Militant]] Ciel sounded like Jaded Schoolgirl / {{spoiler|Nascent God-being}} [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]].
** As well as a [[Adventures of Mini-Goddess|miniature goddess]] and a [[Ai Yori Aoshi|surprisingly tender-hearted]] [[Bottle Fairy]].
Line 339:
** Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, without Steven Blum, but she was also MarineAngemon in Tamers, who's partner was Kenta, voiced by Blum.
** You can hear [[Lucky Star|Konata]] in [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]] when Haruhi is mad or snarky. (Reverse, not so much). At one point, Konata cosplays as Haruhi, and even DOES THE VOICE!
** Wendee Lee also voices Xing Cai from ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' and Rozalin from ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', both with her signature Haruhi voice.
** Once you've heard one role by Wendee Lee, it's insanely easy to pick out the rest. Faye Valentine in ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', Yui in ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', Tina Foster in [[Ai Yori Aoshi]], Urd in ''[[Ah! My Goddess|Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses]]'', Nel Zelpher in ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'', Aribeth in [[Neverwinter Nights]], ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]]''...the list goes on and on.
** Wendee voices Selphie from ''[[Rune Factory]]''.
** I recognized her as Loretta Oratorio in ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]]: Twilight Venom''.
** And she's teamed up with [[Outlaw Star|Jim Hawking]].
** [[Retroactive Recognition]]: [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Scorpina]] sometimes sounded a bit like Haruhi.
Line 351:
 
* '''[[Andrea Libman]]'''
** Listen to a song from the second season of ''The New Adventures of [[Madeline]]'' where the titular character sings (this troper recommends ''A Crown Of Gold'' from ''Madeline and the Lost Crown''). Now listen to [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|G4 Fluttershy]] singing in ''The Cutie Mark Chronicles'' with your eyes closed. If you have a visual image of Madeline being lifted by a flock of butterflies, congratulations! You have realized that Madeline is Fluttershy!
*** In a [[Talking to Himself|TalkingToHerself]] moment, she is also 4G Pinkie Pie, but Pinkie Pie has Shannon Kent-Chan (A fellow Madeline alumni) as her singing voice.
** Also, [[Strawberry Shortcake|Lemon Meringue]] is [[Care Bears|Harmony Bear]] and [[Dragon Tales|Emmy]]!
Line 358:
 
* '''[[Jason Liebrecht]]'''
** [[Baccano!|Luck Gandor]] sounds like [[Darker Thanthan Black|Hei]] with a Brooklyn accent.
** Who in turn sounds like an older version of [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Syaoran]].
 
* '''David Lodge'''
Line 391:
 
* '''[[Seth MacFarlane]]'''
** Causes a lot of this on ''[[Family Guy]]'', where in addition to his long list of major and recurring characters (below), he plays literally hundreds of one line wonders and bit parts.
** Good luck trying not to think of ''[[American Dad]]'' whenever Johann Krauss speaks in ''Hellboy II''.
** Sorry, all this troper hears is Dick Rogers from ''[[Crank Yankers]]'' and [[Robot Chicken|Emperor Palpatine]].
Line 401:
 
* '''[[Tress MacNeille]]'''
** [[wikipedia:Tress MacNeille|Tress MacNeille]]. If you've watched a cartoon in the past twenty years or so, you've heard her voice -- avoice—a sampling of her numerous roles over the years includes Gadget Hackwrench and [[Cross-Dressing Voices|Chip]] [?!] (''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]''), Dot Warner and Hello Nurse (''[[Animaniacs]]''), Toast and Pepper Mills (''[[Histeria!]]''), Babs Bunny and Rhubella Rat (''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''), Principal Skinner's mother Agnes (among several other ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' voices, including ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', where she was Lisa's boyfriend Colin), Mom and "Good Morning Earth" co-host Linda (''[[Futurama]]''), Lady Bane and Marzipan (''[[Gummi Bears]]''), Callie Briggs (''[[Swat Kats]]''), Colleen (''[[Road Rovers]]'')...chances are, you've heard her voice.
** And yes, [[This Troper]] can confirm beyond mere cast listings that Tress did Chip in ''Rescue Rangers''. How? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKTPyxAJB2s Just watch this video.]
** Petrie's mom, Ducky's and Spike's mom (''[[The Land Before Time]]''), certain incarnates of Daisy Duck and [[The Flintstones|Wilma Flintstone]], Charlotte Pickles (''[[Rugrats]]''), and you forgot on ''[[Futurama]]'': Hattie, the suicide booth, Leela's mom, Tinny Tim, Ndnd, Fanny, The Grand Midwife, and just about every adult female extra voice. To name a few more...
** If you watch ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' and hear Hama, there's a good chance you'll do a double take and go "[[The Simpsons (animation)|Agnes Skinner]]?" To this day I'm not sure if this makes the episode more or less creepy.
** [http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=b02IEYdSJXA Hey, look!] Hoodsey from ''[[As Told by Ginger]]'' leaves calls on [[Animaniacs|Minerva Mink's]] answering machine!
** She even got to be in nearly EVERY [[Studio Ghibli]] dub done by [[Disney]]!
** This troper remembers a commercial for Twinkies from around 2001 (I think) with some vultures that mistaken a yellow VW beetle for a Twinkie, and then one of the vultures says "HEY! Where's the cream filling? Now THAT'S the stuff! Hostess." Right when I heard that vulture talk, I thought, "Hey that's Agnes Skinner!" Yes, [https://web.archive.org/web/20091112022054/http://www.obligation.org/channelonevideo.php?id=80 Tress MacNeille even gets into junk food commercials]!
** [[Hey Arnold!|Arnold's]] [[Crazy Awesome]] grandma, anyone?
** However, [[Rugrats|she's not Tommy!]] [[Nightmare Fuel|Hahahahahaha!]]
 
Line 421:
** This Troper found it amusing that while [[Fate/stay night|Issei]] sounds nothing like [[Bleach|Kon]], Mitsuaki Madono ''does'' use practically the same voice for Kon's [[Image Song]].
*** He also sounds exactly the same for [[Busou Renkin|Papillon]]. Characters could not be more different.
** Strangely enough, I was surprised when I found out that Mitsuaki Madono played Prince Toma in the second ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'' movie, and it was even stranger that when I found out Allesandro Juliani (Prince Toma's dub VA) played L in ''[[Death Note]]''
 
* '''Mako'''
Line 439:
 
* '''[[Jason Marsden]]'''
** Jason Marsden gets around a lot. Haku in ''[[Spirited Away]]'', Kovu in the second ''[[Lion King]]'', Chase Young in ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]''. Also Tino from ''[[The Weekenders]]'', Richie from ''[[Static Shock]]'', Chester and Gary from ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', and [[Goof Troop|Max Goof]]. So he sort of switches from deep and sexy to sort of nerdy. He is also [[Dark Forces Saga|Rosh]] whose voice work is a common reason he is seen as [[The Scrappy]]...
** Maybe that's why I get nervous every time I see him as Jaime Reyes' buddy Paco. As deep as ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' digs, I'm nervous that Vibe is gonna show up some episode...
** Adding to the list: a young Clark Kent (as well as Snapper Carr, another, unrelated reporter) in the [[DCAU]] and the annoying Dustil "Carth's Son" Onasi (and gang leader Brejik too) in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]].''
Line 462:
** She used her exact same Izzy/Toboe voice for the moose kid in the pilot for the aborted ''[[The Get Along Gang]]'' CGI [[Revival]].
** Dude. She's the [[Brave Fencer Musashi|Brave fencer, Musashi!]]
** As mentioned above, her role as cute little boy Seere in ''[[Drakengard]]'' is instantly recognizable, but perhaps not so obvious--andobvious—and considerably more brain-breaking--isbreaking—is the fact that she also provides the voice of Angelus, the huge, snarky red dragon in the same game.
** This troper first got weirded out by recognising a voice from her past in [[Blue Dragon|Shu]] and recognised the aforementioned Izzy Izumi. About a month later she started ''Naruto'' and recognised Marshall as Inari (the little kid with the hat in the Wave Country, anyone? Aka [[Naruto the Abridged Series|Gilligan]]) and Young Haku.
 
Line 473:
* '''[[Charles Martinet]]'''
** The Homunculus in ''[[Shadow of Destiny]]'' is voiced by Charles Martinet, who is better known as the voice of [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]]. These may be the two least similar characters in the history of video games.
** He also did all the voices in ''Super [[Punch -Out!!]]'' including all the opponents, the referee (ironically) and the blond Little Mac.
 
* '''Tim Matheson'''
Line 486:
 
* '''Rick May'''
** Went from doing five distinct voices in ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star FoxFOX]] 64'' to doing one instantly recognizable voice in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''.
 
* '''Rik Mayall'''
Line 500:
 
* '''James McCaffrey'''
** [[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]] and [[Alone in Thethe Dark|Edward Carnby]].
 
* '''[[Michael McConnohie]]'''
** [[Tropers/Cidolfas|This troper]] will forever associate Michael McConnohie with noble baddie Commander Margulis from ''[[Xenosaga]]''. This makes his appearances as noble baddies in ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' and ''[[Star Ocean]] 3'' seem like deja vu, and his voice is very noticeable in [[Haibane Renmei]] and as [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness|Gordon, DEFENDER OF EARTH!]] in ''very'' different roles.
** Or that [[Code Geass|Emperor Charles]] is The Director in [[Crackdown]] and [[Street Fighter|Seth]].
** There's also a character that I'm sure few people have heard of. He's known as [[World of Warcraft|The Lich King]]...
*** [[Bleach|Make that two Lich Kings he's voiced.]]
** The Lich King was a [[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu|tribal elder dude]]? Weird...
** Wait, [[Vampire Hunter D]] and the narrator from [[Dynasty Warriors|Dynasty Warriors 6]] and [[Warriors Orochi]] are the same guy?
 
Line 515:
 
* '''[[Norm MacDonald]]'''
** Years ago, I watched an ep of something on [[YouTube]] where Norm MacDonald played some kind of psychologist that was talking to a kid that believed he was [[Pokémon (anime)|Ash Ketchum]]. Then I watched ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' a few years later and he was [[Literal Genie|Norm the Genie]]. That was very ironic, since on the [[YouTube]] thing, he had trouble controlling Pokémon and could somehow [[Reality Warper|create Poké Balls from thin air]]. I recognized the tone of scorn. Very hilarious.
** He's also Death on ''[[Family Guy]]''.
 
* '''Jesse McCartney'''
** Yes, this singer also was the voice of Roxas and Ventus in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series, as well as Terence in the ''Tinker Bell'' series, Theodore in ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks|Alvinandthe Chipmunks]]'', JoJo in ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'', and Huxley in ''The Clockwork Girl''.
* '''[http://jessicaerinmartin.com/ Jessica Martin]'''
** The voice of Samus Aran in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' is also a prominent actress in the Seattle theatre scene.
Line 536:
** ''[[Supreme Commander]]'' had a female commander voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who also does Maj. Kusanagi in ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''.
** The icing on the cake? Batou is her second-in-command.
** She also voices Estelle Oratorio, elder sister of [[Wendee Lee|Loretta]], on episode 9 of ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]]: Twilight Venom''.
** If you'd like to hear her sing she's done numerous songs for the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' games.
 
* '''Julia McIlvaine'''
** While not a profilific voice actress, this troper was watching ''[[MAD]]'' for the first time, and was thinking...''[[Ka BlamKaBlam!|June]]!?''
 
* '''Ellen McLain'''
Line 559:
** This troper was a fan of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' back when they were new. It took him several trips to [[The Other Wiki]] to learn that Badass Dinobot and Badass Wolverine are one and the same guy.
** Still, he does seem to have a few favorite voices. In particular, if he's voicing a reptilian character, he will likely sound exactly like Dinobot. And [[Inuyasha|Koga the feral wolfy guy]] sounded just like ''Evolution'''s Wolverine the feral wolfy guy.
** Snarling, psychotic [[Dawn of War|Lord Bale]] loses some of his menace when you learn he has the same voice actor as [[Care Bears|Funshine Bear]].
*** He loses more of it once you find out that he's also the same voice actor that plays a tree that [[Pungeon Master|cracks bad jokes]] in ''[[Dragon Tales]]''.
** How has [[Darkstalkers|Lord Raptor]] not been mentioned yet?!
** This troper once saw part of the [[So Bad It's Good]] ''[[Street Fighter (animation)|Street Fighter]]'' cartoon, and literally said "Rattrap, is that ''you?''" once Ken opened his mouth.
Line 580:
*** Again using his Kevin French voice.
** He played the actor playing Sokka in "The Ember Island Players", with a voice almost identical to the one he uses for Kevin French from ''[[Mission Hill]]''
** This Troper knew all along that it had to be [[A Pup Named Scooby -Doo|Red Herring]]!.
** He plays Egon Stetmann in ''[[StarcraftStarCraft II]]'' using his [[Dark Cloud|Max]] voice. It is really apparent when he says "Just fascinating!".
** He also played King in the Wild Cards episode of the Justice League. Given that this is in the same universe as the Teen Titans it was awkward to hear Robins voice coming out of a villain.
** On top of that he did extra voices in a ton of video games including FFXII in which he gave one bystander the voice of Robin.
Line 587:
* '''Matthew Mercer'''
** Matthew Mercer? Let's see...[[Mortal Kombat|Kurtis Stryker]], [[Fist of the North Star|Rei]], [[Street Fighter|Fei-Long]], [[Sengoku Basara|Keiji Maeda]], [[No More Heroes|Skelter Helter]]...
*** And now? [[Mortal Kombat 9|Kurtis Stryker]]. Way to go to [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap|rescue someone from the Scrappy heap!]]
** Outside of fighting games, he also voices [[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War|Albert Genette]] and [[Star Ocean: The Last Hope|Edge Maverick]]. Both with a similar-sounding opening narration, too!
 
Line 597:
 
* '''[[Vic Mignogna]]'''
** A minor role in ''[[Bleach]]'' for Vic Mignogna was a screaming character in the 11th squad (Ikkaku Madarame). The voice was the same as the voice used for the main character in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', and therefore a bit confusing to this troper.
** This troper, a fan of Vic, has learned to pick out his voice in the most minor of roles, including a Professor in ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' and as random goons in ''[[Noir]]''.
** This troper was flabbergasted when watching the first episode of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and could only wonder why Edward Elric in a quiet mood was voicing Fay D. Fluorite.
Line 603:
** This Troper was shamed that he could not tell that he voiced Junpei of [[Persona 3]] fame. However he could tells very quickly that he voiced Kurz Webber of Full Metal Panic! fame.
** Did we mention we can add [[Ouran High School Host Club|Tamaki]] to that list? That was the sound of a thousand fangirls doing a group [[Squee]], especially since [[Caitlin Glass|the same person that was Winry]] plays Haruhi.
** How can you forget Antoinette?! He played a DOG.
** This Troper can't believe nobody added Kensei Ma or [[D.N.Angel|Dark]] yet.
** [[Aura Battler Dunbine|Neal Givens]] has a, shall we say, strange Scottish accent, but you'll know it's Vic when you hear him barking orders at the crew of the Zelana.
** He also voices [[One-Scene Wonder]] Femio from ''[[Princess Tutu]]'', which is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|downright hillarious]]. It's made all the more awesome when you realize how similar he is to Tamaki.
** ''And'' he had a small part opposite [[Travis Willingham|Roy Mustang]] in [[Mushishi]].
** Recently cast as Spirit Albarn for the English dub of [[Soul Eater]].
** Here's a voice that nearly killed this troper due to laughter: [[Ambiguously Gay|Lacerta]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Misty]] in the English dub of [[Saint Seiya]]. I have never heard Vic Mignogna pull a voice like that ever in my life, but I guessed it due to too much watching of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]! It's the laugh.
** He's also Bui in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', in which his voice is much deeper than expected and rather nice.
*** And Uraurashima from the same show, which sounds a bit more typically "him."
** He's also the main character, Mao, in ''Disgaea 3''.
Line 620:
 
* '''Shinchiro Miki'''
** Shinichiro Miki, better known as [[Bleach|Urahara]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Lockon Stratos]], [[Initial D|Takumi Fujiwara]], [[Full Metal Panic!|Kurz Weber]], [[The Dark Knight Saga|Batman in Gotham Knight]], [[Scrapped Princess|Shannon Casull]], [[Strait Jacket|Leiot Steinberg]], and [[Weiss Kreuz|Yoji Kudo]].
*** Don't forget [[Pokémon (anime)|Kojirou]].
*** He was also the Japanese voice of the titular character in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''. Yeah.
*** And now he's [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Roy Mustang]]
 
* '''[[Lara Jill Miller]]'''
Line 632:
 
* '''Shirley Millner'''
** Though she's appeared in relatively few shows compared to some other VA's on this page, her distinctive syrupy, nasal voice is instantly recognizable to fans, no matter who she plays. She has had roles in shows such as ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' and ''[[Silverwing (animation)|Silverwing]]'', but [[Tropers/User:Ziggy Stardust Forever|this troper]] shall forever remember her as Hexadecimal from ''[[Re BootReBoot]]''.
** Same, here. Anytime this troper watches any of her other roles, all she can think is, "AHHHHHH, HEXADECIMAL!!!".
 
* '''[[Candi Milo]]'''
** She's done characters from [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Coco]] all the way to [[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexter]].
** What would [[My Life as a Teenage Robot|Tuck]] sound like with a Bronx accent? That's [[Chalk ZoneChalkZone|Snap]] for ya.
** [[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Shantotto. OHOHOHOHO!!!]]
 
Line 644:
** Not to mention she also voiced Ayaka Yukihiro. and [[Code Geass|Cornelia li Britannia]]. She may sound the same when she does boys, but that doesn't make her any less talented!
 
* '''Lani Minella'''
** Her Interactive has established her as the video-game voice of [[Nancy Drew]], which leaves one wondering why the girl detective moonlights as a [[Ms. Fanservice|talking bat]] in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
** She's also a [[Mother 3|blond psychic]] and an [[Kid Icarus|angel warrior]] in the third game of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. [[Cross-Dressing Voices|Both are male.]]
 
* '''[[Kotono Mitsuishi]]'''
Line 664:
** Unfortunately, this troper gets the same feel even when listening to Chaoji in ''[[D.Gray-man]]'', although he is neither as smart as Light, nor as handsome as Light or Tamaki.
** Also noticeable is the fact that Mamoru does the voice of Death the Kid in [[Soul Eater]] and does a fairly good job of changing from deathly serious son of the grim reaper to wacky symmetry obsessive at break neck speeds.
** He's also the Japanese-dubbed voice of [[Watchmen (comics)|Nite Owl II]].
** Recently, he's started voicing Ling Yao in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]:Brotherhood''.
** And even more recently, Dento in the latest season of ''Pokémon'', which... at least, isn't too far from his roles as Tamaki or [[Keet|Kida Masaomi]] in ''[[Durarara!!]]''.
 
* '''[[Kouki Miyata]]'''
Line 673:
 
* '''Kaori Mizuhashi'''
** We've got Kaori Mizuhashi, who has done [[La Pucelle|Culotte]], [[Disgaea|Laharl]], [[Phantom Brave|Marona]], [[Makai Kingdom|Pram]], [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Hanako]], [[Soul Nomad|Shauna]] and [[Hidamari Sketch|Miyako]].
 
* '''Kaoru Mizuhara'''
Line 679:
 
* '''[[Nana Mizuki]]'''
** Speaking of Nanoha-related connections, this troper thinks the similarities between [[Shugo Chara|Hoshina Utau]] and [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Fate Testarossa]] are...a lot. Same VA? Check. Uses a lot of black clothing? Check. Blonde hair? Check. Twintails? Check! Wait, is this a [[Shout-Out]]?
*** It doesn't help that she is an [[Idol Singer]] and she sings Mizuki Nana's song. While Fate may not, every opening songs of the Nanoha series is sung by this very woman. Likewise, Yukari Tamura, Nanoha's seiyuu, sings every ending songs of this series.
** So [[Heartcatch Pretty Cure|Cure Blossom]]'s voice is done by the same gal as [[Princess Tutu|Princess Kraehe]]'s even if they are complete opposites? Wow.
Line 687:
 
* '''Dominic Monaghan'''
** This Troper burst out laughing when she realized that Merry from ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' also did the voice for Glenn/Glenda in ''Seed Of Chucky''.
** Hell WORMTONGUE of all people voiced Chucky!!
*** Hate to rain on your parade, but it was Billy Boyd, ''Pippin'' from ''Lord Of The Rings'' who voiced Glenn/Glenda in ''Seed Of Chucky''.
 
* '''Ricardo Montalban'''
** And now a moment of silence for Ricardo Montalban, aka [[Freakazoid!|Gutierrez]] and [[Kim Possible|Señor Senior, Sr.]] RIP.
** A very brave cow in ''[[Family Guy]]''.
** I scared the crap out of my little sister while she was watching Kim Possible by yelling KHAAAAAAAN! at the screen when I heard Señor Senior, Sr. speak.
Line 733:
 
* '''[[Mai Nakahara]]'''
** [[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'s big sister sounds awfully familiar in those flashbacks of hers... wait a minute, [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Teana]]? Is that you?
** When not affected by {{spoiler|Hinamizawa Syndrome}} and when not [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me|taking things/Rika home]], [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rena Ryuugu]] sounds ''exactly'' like [[Clannad (visual novel)||Nagisa Furukawa]]. [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] is now kept awake at night because she always imagines Rena taking the Big Dango Family home, or conversely, Nagisa having one too many bad days and suddenly screaming "USO DA!"
 
* '''Yuichi Nakamura'''
** This editor's fiancee has a massive fangirl crush on [[Shugo Chara|Tsukiyomi Ikuto]]. This editor knows his voice actor best as being [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Graham Acre]]. The looks he gets from his fiancee when he refers to Ikuto as [[Memetic Mutation|Tsukiyomi HOWWAAAARRRD MAAASOOOOON Ikuto]] are increasingly hilarious.
** Kafuka and Fuko DO technically share eccentric traits. Well, it took this troper to realize until certain episodes involving baseball and random [[Ho Yay]] jokes in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' that Tomoya (the male lead) is Tayaka Abe from ''[[Ookiku Furikabutte]]''. Although not to the point of practically having [[Expy]] qualities, the two characters share the same sarcasm and wittiness traits as well. Does Yuichi Nakamura ever change his voice?
** What about someone as [[Hot-Blooded]] as [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Graham "TODAY I SURPASS THE ASHURA!!!" Aker]]?
** Try someone as EVIL as [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Terumi Yuuki]], easily summable with "Give Graham more HAMS and evil." "THIS WORLD IS NOTHING BUT LIES!! LET ME SHOW YOU JUST ONE TRUTH, ONE TRUTH THAT IS 'I AM A [[Large Ham|GIGANTIC HAM]]!!'"
 
* '''Ryusei Nakao'''
Line 755:
 
* '''George Newburn'''
** [[Justice League (animation)|Superman]] is [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]]? Wait- ''WHAT''?
 
* '''Richard Newman'''
** [[Street Fighter|M. Bison]] wants to know if you [[Punch -Out!!|NEED A HUG!?]]
 
* '''[[Leonard Nimoy]]'''
** In the fourth installment of the ''Civilization'' series, a quote is read to you whenever you have finished researching a technology... by [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]].
*** That isn't his first time doing voices in video games though. Remember ''Seaman'' for the [[Sega Dreamcast]]? Yep, he was the strange fish AND the narrator.
** [[Star Trek|Spock]] and [[Transformers|Galvatron]] have more than [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|resurrection]] in common. They're both voiced by Leonard Nimoy. Possibly the most diametrically opposed characters ever played by the same guy.
** And while watching ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'', one can't help but notice the King of Atlantis sounds an awful lot like [[Star Trek|Spock...]]
** It seems that a character in the upcoming American release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' will be voiced by none other than [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]], yes THAT [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]]
Line 769:
 
* '''Ai Nonaka'''
** When [[Tropers/Shay Guy|this troper]] first started watching [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]], he almost immediately thought "Holy crap, it's [[Clannad (visual novel)||Fuko]]!"
** She also plays [[Kamichu!|Sageusa Miko]]. This troper was like "So when is she gonna start calling Yurie Pink Supervisor?"
** It took [[DKN 117|this troper]] less than three seconds after hearing [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Kafuka]] start talking to think "[[Mahou Sensei Negima|Konoka-chan]]!". The fact that [[Yuu Kobayashi|Setsuna]] is in this show too makes it moreso.
Line 782:
 
* '''[[Mamiko Noto]]'''
** [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] did a double take when she watched ''[[Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu]]'' and realized that [[Clannad (visual novel)||Kotomi]] was an [[Otaku]]. The same thing happened in ''[[Girls Bravo]]'', crossdressing voice notwithstanding.
** Also, [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Nodoka]] playing [[Witchblade (anime)|Masane]]. Quite the transition.
** And now she also plays a ghost from a horror film... wait, never mind, it's just [[Kimi ni Todoke|Sawako]]. Still, the combination is remarkably effective...
** Also, Noto-san is either [[Kanokon|a boy named Kouta]] or [[Elfen Lied|a girl who is pining after a boy named Kouta]].
** How can we forget [[Keroro Gunsou|Angol Mois]] our lovely [[Dark-Skinned Blond|ganguro]] girl who is in love with her uncle. Sweet and Gentle but take note this girl can [[Person of Mass Destruction|destroy Planets]]
 
* '''Jerry Orbach'''
Line 802:
** He is also Kenzo Tenma in the English dub of ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]''. [[This Troper]] did a double take when she realized that Tenma is voiced by the same person who did [[Code Geass|Lloyd Asplund]].
** It's quite odd hearing an effeminate scientist, [[Code Geass|Lloyd Asplund]] as the evil pope, Sanctus in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4''.
** And now apparently [[Fate/stay night|Archer]] has been reborn as a [[StarcraftStarCraft II|Ghost]].
** And before that, he was [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa]] [[Sengoku Basara|Ieyasu]], in the most GAR form available.
** He's Spanish fighter Miguel Caballero Rojo in ''[[Tekken]] 6''.
Line 823:
* '''[[Sayaka Ohara]]'''
** [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] shat bricks when she discovered that [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Beatrice]] was also [[Code Geass|Milly Ashford]] and [[Toradora!|Ryuuji's mom]].
*** She also voices [[XxxHolic×××HOLiC|Ichihara Yuuko]] opposite Watanuki, aka [[Code Geass|Lelouch]] [[Jun Fukuyama|Lamperouge]]. This explains quite a lot of things.
 
* '''[[Ikue Ohtani]]'''
** This troper's anime illiterate boyfriend was able to quickly recognize Chopper's voice from ''[[One Piece]]'' as that of [[Pokémon (anime)|Pikachu]].
** It's also kind of hard to listen to [[Gash Bell]] without thinking "Pika pika unu!"
** [[Ojamajo Doremi|Pororin Pyurarin Hanahana Pi!]] Amusingly, Hana-chan has a habit of donning [[Blush Sticker|Blush Stickers]]s when at her damn cutest.
** Let's not forget [[Detective Conan|Mitsuhiko]] of the Detective Boys!
*** I keep expecting all of these characters to break out in a spontaneous case of Ike Ike Go Go JUMP, when they're not being halfway purified by Eternal Sailor Moon...
Line 840:
* '''Tony Oliver'''
** The narrator from ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'' and {{spoiler|Old Simon}} is [[Fate/stay night|Lancer]].
** For video game dubbies, one might also recognize his [[Large Ham|hammy]] [[Dynasty Warriors|Ma Chao]] voice...as [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Bang Shishigami]].
** Not to mention the titular character of ''[[Lupin III]]'' and Rick from ''Macross''
 
Line 854:
* '''[[Daisuke Ono]]'''
** [[AIR|Yukito]] sounds a lot like [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Akasaka]] and [[Saki (manga)|Hagiyoshi]]. Make him sound a bit more lighthearted and you get [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Koizumi]]. Give his voice a little "perverted feel" and you get [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Battler]].
** Throw in some rage and you get [[Durarara!!|Shizuo Heiwajima]]
** Shigure Shinguji from [[Sora O Kakeru Shoujo]] which was only noticed by this troper after watching [[Black Butler]], where he voices Sebastian Michaelis
 
Line 880:
** He voices Jiraya in [[Naruto]], Metastacia in [[Bleach]] and [[The Sacred Blacksmith|August Arthur]] in ''[[The Sacred Blacksmith]]''. This troper thinks that these 3 voices are so alike that it's impossible to miss the link!
** What you might miss is that he is Xigbar and his hearted counterpart Braig in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', well, you'll miss it if you turn off the sound anyway.
* He's also the voice of Gates, from [[Full Metal Panic!|Full Metal Panic: Second Raid]].
** And [[Captain Planet|Earth's greatest hero]].
 
Line 898:
** The guy who performed ''Walkie-Talkie Man'' and ''Canned Heat'' in ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'' was '''the guy who sang the Pokémon theme'''. [[Lampshade Hanging|Yes, I know this may not be]] ''[[Lampshade Hanging|that]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging|shocking, but still!]]
 
* '''[[Hayden Panettiere]]'''
** There are those who know her not so much as [[Heroes (TV series)|an indestructible cheerleader]] or [[Remember the Titans|a pre-teen football freak]] than as [[Kingdom Hearts|Kairi]].
** She's also been [[Robot Chicken|Cheetara]].
Line 904:
** And [[American Dad|one of Steve Smith's potential love interests]].
** And though some would say she's more of a fox, [[Alpha and Omega|a wolf]].
** And for [[Disney]] (okay, and [[Pixar]]) she's played [[A Bug's Life|a bug]], [[Dinosaur|a dinosaur]], and (in a case of [[Playing Against Type]] even by cartoon standards) [[Fillmore!|a Japanese girl]].
 
* '''[[Mike Patton]]'''
Line 933:
*** And [[Nana|Nana Oosaki]].
*** And [[Higepiyo]].
*** And [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Loran]].
*** Not to mention [[Kaiba|Popo]] and [[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Heimdall]].
*** More recently, Zoroark from ''[[Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions|Pokémon Zoroark Master of Illusions]]''. In Japanese AND English.
Line 988:
 
* '''[[Laura Prepon]]'''
** Wow, ''[[Halo 2]]'' rocks! Wait, why is [[That '70s Show|Donna]] telling me to move my ass?! She also showed up on an episode of ''[[King of the Hill]]''.
 
* '''[[Jamieson Price]]'''
** [[Gurren Lagann|Lord Genome]] sounds so much like [[Code Geass|Diethard Ried]] it's ''scary''. He also sounds like [[Eureka Seven|Norb]], which is just slightly less weird.
** He also played Reeve Trusti who helps the player party in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' , as well as playing a prominent role in it's video game sequel ''[[Dirge of Cerberus]]''. Among other roles, he was a [[Ace Combat|Belkan Ace Pilot]], a [[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo|Jelly Man]], the First Hokage in ''Naruto'' and the leader of [[Rainbow Six|a counterterrorism special forces group]].
** Papa [[Nie RNieR]] must have a [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|GIGANTIC TAGER]].
** [[Dynasty Warriors|"Can't anyone provide me with a decent challenge!?"]]
** This troper will never forget watching [[Akira]] after a [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]] marathon only to hear Iron Tager barking out orders in the form of the Colonel.
 
* '''[[Derek Stephen Prince]]'''
Line 1,010:
 
* '''Moira Quirk'''
** Remember ''[[Nickelodeon Guts]]''? The referee, Moira "Mo" Quirk, has an interesting amount of voices she did. She was Brit Krust, one of the two Krust Cousins, in ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]''.
** Also, she [[Playing Against Type|played against her heroic/anti-heroic(ish) type]] when she voiced [[Ax Crazy]] [[Meido]] Daniella in ''[[Haunting Ground]]''. If you're hearing your childhood screaming in horror, that's why.
 
* '''John Ratzenberger'''
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the movie ''[[Cars]]'', where one of the characters, played by John Ratzenberger (Cliff Clavin on ''Cheers''), is watching a bunch of movies and complains that the same guy is doing all the voices, and it's because he's the one who did those characters in those movies. (P.T. Flea in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'', Ham from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', and the Abominable Snowman from ''[[Monsters, Inc.]].'')
** He's [[The Incredibles|the Underminer]]! NOTHING is beneath him!
** It's become rather a [[Running Gag]] at [[Pixar]] for Ratzenberger to be a voice in all their films. He's their "good luck charm". Because it's ''Pixar'', the joke [[Overly Long Gag|never gets old]].
Line 1,021:
 
* '''[[Thurl Ravenscroft]]'''
** Best known as the voice of ''Frosted Flakes'' mascot Tony the Tiger, he has also done Kirby in ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'', sang "[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch]]", and several rides at [[Disney Theme Parks]], including ''[[The Haunted Mansion]]''.
** He was also a member of Disney's stock vocal team the Mellomen, so you'll often hear his voice in vintage Disney animated features and shorts, especially when a good bass-baritone voice is required.
 
* '''Paul Reubens'''
** Paul Reubens, best known as ''Pee-Wee Herman'', usually does the distinct laugh when doing other characters. This includes ''[[Flight of the Navigator]]'' and REX in the [[Star Wars|Star Tours]] ride at [[Disney Theme Parks]].
** Anyone who's seen the pilot movie for ''[[Out of JimmysJimmy's Head]]'' might recognize [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|Lock]] as Golly Gopher.
** Also Reuben in [[Chowder]].
 
* '''John Rhys-Davies'''
** John Rhys-Davies, mentioned below and known for playing a [[The Lord of the Rings|dwarf and a talking tree]], also voiced the narration in the adventure/rpg hybrid ''[[Quest for Glory]] 4''. Anyone who's played this game has probably had his "[[IAdventure Can'tNarrator Use These Things TogetherSyndrome|That didn't do anything!]]" ingrained in their memories after frustratingly clicking on every inch of screen.
** The best part is the annoyed tone he uses, like the narrator is pissed at you doing things that lead nowhere.
*** This just shows that John Rhys Davies would be an AWESOME [[Game Master]] for any [[Tabletop RPG]]
** Mr. Davies also provided the voice of Prince Thrakhath nar Kiranka, in ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] III]]''.
*** Which happened to be a double shot as he was also live-acting the role of James "Paladin" Taggart at the same time.
** His voice was also a pleasant surprise in ''Freelancer'' as Tobias, who, of course, is the closest thing Freelancer's got to a [[Boisterous Bruiser]].
Line 1,073:
** Speaking of ''[[King of the Hill]]'', this troper kept expecting King Philip (from the episode "Joust Like A Woman") to address Hank as "[[Harry Potter (film)|Mister Potter]]".
** No mention of [[Help! I'm a Fish|Joe]]? This troper remembers the ads for the movie kept referring to both Alan Rickman and Terry Jones.
** There's an icon floating around [[Live JournalLiveJournal]] involving [[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|Marvin the Paranoid Android]] dressed as [[Harry Potter (film)|Snape]].
** Don't forget Alexander aka Dr. Lazarus in ''[[Galaxy Quest]]''.
** And this troper could never take the movie version of ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' seriously, since not only did Rickman use the same voice for Judge Turpin that he did for Snape, but Timothy Spall played opposite him as Beadle Bamford, who is basically Turpin's [[Harry Potter|Wormtail]]. [[Helena Bonham Carter]] didn't help things either.
 
* '''Don Rickles'''
** If you visit ''The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management'' at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disney World]], you'll be able to hear [[Toy Story (franchise)||Mr. Potato Head]] get into a fight with [[The Simpsons (animation)|Troy McClure]]
 
* '''[[Sam Riegel]]'''
Line 1,086:
** He generally has two voices: smug bastard (Zaku, Clovis), and largely normal guy ([[Haruhi Suzumiya|Taniguchi]], [[Fate/stay night|Shiro Emiya]], [[Lucky Star|Minoru Shiraishi]]). With Viral, he's usually the first, and sometimes the second.
** Besides the technically-inclined Shirou, he was the technically-inclined Ninja Turtle [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|Donatello]] ('03 version).
*** When I heard [[Tales of Eternia|Reid Hershel's]] voice, I thought he would say [[Ace Combat|'''Go dance with the angels''']].
** Sam plays Pull in the ''[[Ergo Proxy]]'' episode "The Girl with a Smile". He sounds like a pitched-up Donatello.
** About the only thing [[God Hand|Azel]] is missing is the [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|shark teeth]], but in terms of voice the two are practically indistinguishable.
Line 1,095:
 
* '''Shane Rimmer'''
** [[Tropers/Ptitlevos 5 dvs 8|I]] always smile whenever I hear Shane Rimmer's voice on TV, film, Internet, or wherever, mainly because I have always had this big crush on Scott Tracy from [[Thunderbirds]], whose voice is provided by Shane, and he never puts too much variation on that voice of his. ([http://www.plotfish.com/tic/library/_shanerimmer/ShaneWagonTrain.wma Except when he sings of course...]{{Dead link}})
 
* '''[[Susan Roman]]'''
Line 1,118:
 
* '''[[Michelle Ruff]]'''
** Michelle Ruff, best known as [[Code Geass|Euphemia Li Britannia]], [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Yoko]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|Kiki]], [[Disgaea|Etna]], [[Lucky Star|Tsukasa]], [[Lucky Star|Minami]], [[Digimon Frontier|Izumi]], [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Yuki Nagato]], and [[Bleach|Rukia]].
** Hey! [[Disgaea|Etna]] sounds a lot like [[Persona 3 Yukari|Takeba]]!
** Whoa, [[Ai Yori Aoshi|Aoi Sakuraba]] is the [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] [[Wild ArmsARMs|Laila Lie/Gina Angel/Goddess]]? The latter's "sad" voice sounds a lot like the former.
*** Ruff shares another series with an ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'' voice actor. Dave Lelyveld (Whittenburg) played Kaoru Hanabishi and plays Commander Irving Vold Valeria on ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]] Twilight Venom''.
** Interestingly, she's also the mercenary Carmen 99 in ''[[Gun X Sword]]''. You can't say it's [[Playing Against Type]], since Michelle's characters vary so much.
** Cream the Rabbit from ''[[Sonic Riders|Sonic Free Riders]]'' and ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' sounds like Tsukasa.
** Have we all forgotten ''[[Lupin III]]'''s main squeeze and [[Unknown Rival|unknown]] [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|betrayer]] Fujiko Mine?
** It's not really fair to list Michelle (I doubt a self respecting VA would want to be listed on this page) because she's actually one of the few very versatile VAs. She can do quite a large range of voices and emotions, including young boys which is a sign of a wide vocal range. Visit her [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160305222043/http://voiceofmichelleruff.com/resume.html website] for a good audio sample.
