** 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]]!

** He also narrated the Disney-produced documentary ''African Cats''. He is possibly the most intense narrator ever.
** He also narrates the "children's" book, "[[Go the Fuck
* '''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 (

* '''[[Janyse Jaud]]'''
** I was recently on a message board talking about Lady Frenzy, a character from the French animated series ''Botsmaster'', who has a sexy voice. I posted a link to an episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNOd7GHeSkg like so], and another poster remarked "That's Kagura from ''[[Inuyasha]]''!" Indeed, as anyone who has seen the dubs for a number of anime series can attest, Janyse Jaud tends to play bombshells, especially in anime based on [[Rumiko Takahashi]]'s manga. See also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVaW_JxDbnU Hinako Ninomiya] in ''[[Ranma
** Jarring... A [[My Little Pony|pony that loves balloons]] is actually evil, only a few inches tall, and [[Strawberry Shortcake|owns a store in Berry Bitty City]]. All, well, more reasons to hate the 2009 reincarnation I suppose. {{spoiler|For those who still didn't get it, she is Pinkie Pie in the G3 [[My Little Pony]] series and Orange Blossom in the 2009 [[Strawberry Shortcake]] relaunch.}}
* '''[[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 ''[[
*** [[Tony Jay]] also voiced the character Spiderus in ''[[Miss
**** And as Judge Frollo in Disney's ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''.
*** [[Tom and Jerry: The Movie
** Nor should we overlook his contribution as the suavely sinister industrialist-financier incarnation of Shere Khan in ''[[
** Let's not forget Dr. Lipschitz in ''[[Rugrats]]''. Cue me imagining the child psychologist singing "Hellfire."
** As much as she loved [[Tony Jay]] in all his roles, his most memorable performance to this troper was in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeDBtexTZhk this series of commercials].
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''.
** Of the above mentioned examples, two of Tony's characters, namely Chairface Chippendale and the Elder God, were essentially faceless. This made it very, very easy to picture any of his other characters whenever he spoke.
** 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'''.

* '''Wes Johnson'''
Line 105:
* '''[[James Earl Jones]]'''
** James Earl Jones has an instantly recognizable voice whether he's playing a [[The Lion King|lion]], a [[Star Wars|Galactic Overlord]], or doing the station identification for CNN. Or even an [[Merlin
** For a time, Jones was also the official voice of phone company Verizon (and before the merger, Bell Atlantic), which meant that Darth Vader thanked you for using Verizon every time you made a long-distance call.
** His Spanish counterpart, Constantino Romero, has been dubbing movies for decades and is instantly recognisable as the voice of the aforementioned James Earl Jones (and Vader), [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] and [[Clint Eastwood]], among dozens of other Hollywood stars.
*** 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
** He also was [[Bionicle|Toa Vakama]] and [[Beast Machines

* '''[[Mika Kanai]]'''
** It can be very creepy when watching ''[[Code Geass]]'' when the voice of Kaguya was [[Higurashi no Naku Koro
** She also played Vanilla in [[Galaxy Angel (
** This Troper just started watching the Three-Tails Arc in ''[[Naruto]] Shippuuden''. I thought at first that Yuukimaru's voice sounded familiar. It was only when he started screaming (in pain from being hooked up to a device {{spoiler|designed to use his chakra to summon the Three-Tailed Beast}}) that he recognized Satoko's voice. 'Cause... come on... ''everyone'' screams in pain/fear in [[Higurashi no Naku Koro
* '''[[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:
** Also notable for being [[
** 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! (
* '''Casey Kasem'''
Line 146:
** Flakey Fakem in an episode of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''
** Cliffjumper in the Transformers cartoon
** Robin (Dick Grayson) in all incarnations of ''[[
*** This is the character he's voiced the second longest after Shaggy. And it's his own natural voice. When this troper first heard America's Top 40, he wondered, "What's Robin doing on the radio?"
** Meriadoc Brandybuck in the animated ''Return of the King''.
** Mark in ''Battle of the Planets'' aka ''G-Force''.
** Alexander Cabot III in ''[[Josie and
** A handful of characters in one episode of ''The Batman/Superman Hour'' (but not Robin this time).
** An announcer at the ''[[Rugrats in Paris]]'' movie.

** [[Tropers/The Toon Geekette|This troper]] watched ''[[Freakazoid
** Don't forget Jimmy Olson from ''[[Superman: The Animated Series
** This troper, in addition to hearing Danny in ''[[Freakazoid
** It had a reverse effect on this troper- He heard Danny and thought "[[Back to The Future

** You can easily tell that [[Kanon|Sayuri]] and [[AIR
** Rounding off [[Key Visual Arts]], [[Tomoko Kawakami]] also voices the Girl in the Illusionary World in ''[[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 170:
* '''[[David Kaye]]'''
** ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' Optimus Prime is a really odd one. His best known role before that was ''[[
** "Wait, why is Optimus Prime trying to sell me beer?"
*** And if none of those ring a bell, how about [[Inuyasha|Sesshoumaru]] or [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
** He was not just Megatron in ''[[
** He was also Clank in ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' games.
* '''Michael Keaton'''
** ''[[Batman]]'' voicing the rival car in ''[[Cars]]'' and Ken in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3''.
* '''Brandon Keener'''
Line 188:
* '''[[Tom Kenny]]'''
** From ''[[Transformers Animated]]''. Tom Kenny generally has a very wide range, but it's still somewhat noticeable when he voices Starscream that it's also [[
** While he sounds a bit like Spongebob he sounds ''a lot'' like the Penguin in ''[[
*** Speaking of ''Transformers'' and Kenny, Wheelie in ''[[Transformers (
** A particularly specific example: In an episode of ''[[
** This "50's narrator-ish" voice was also used as many of the automated machines in ''[[Idiocracy]]''.
** In the prom episode of ''[[
** Can you believe that the person who voices Spongebob is the same one who voices [[Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!|Hal Gibson]]?
*** Can you believe that the person who voices Spongebob and Patchy the Pirate are THE SAME PERSON?
** On the other hand, the voice he used for Spongebob is ''almost exactly the same'' as the one he used for Carl in ''[[Johnny Bravo]]''.
** What no [[Powerpuff Girls]] mention? Tom Kenny voices the Mayor and the Narrator.
** Why wouldn't he be versatile? [[Plastic Man]] [[Batman:
** How can [[
** 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
* '''Eri Kitamura'''
** Eri Kitamura's done a lot: she's been [[Toradora

** 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 [[
** Ever heard [[Assassin's Creed|Altair]] speak in Japanese? Hell YES he's voiced by Kamina in the dub!
* '''[[Ami Koshimizu]]'''
** [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] nearly fell off her chair when she noticed that [[Ace Pilot]] [[Code Geass|Kallen Kouzuki]] had the same voice as [[Gag Boobs]] [[Moe Moe]] [[Saki (
*** Abusive? [[Memetic Mutation|Badass mother]] is more like it, if the brat gets on your nerves as much as [[Also Sprach Odin|mine]].
*** Like above, this troper almost had an a heart attack when he realized that the same [[Ace Pilot]], [[Code Geass|Kallen]], had also the same voice of the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]] and [[Cute Monster Girl]] with surgical skills [[Franken Fran|Fran Madaraki]].

** Can you believe that in the Japanese dub of ''[[Avatar (

** [[Pokémon (
* '''[[Takehito Koyasu]]'''

** Don't forget [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Liechtenstein]]!
** And a [[Fairy Tail|Cat]].
Line 265:
* '''[[Mila Kunis]]'''
** It's hard to take all of the ugly jokes seriously, when you realise [[Family Guy|Meg]] actually looks like [[Max Payne (
** She also plays a lot of the bit parts in ''[[Robot Chicken]]''
Line 272:
** Even more obvious in ''[[Haruhi-chan]]''; Achakura using an umbrella to open a door is a reference to ''[[Rozen Maiden]]''.
* '''[[Maurice
** 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]]''
** Very recognizable in [[Guild Wars]], but it helps that Vekk is a little guy whose entire species likes to talk about how much smarter than you they are.
* '''[[Phil

** And [[Wolverine and
** Hilarious [[Lampshading]] in an episode of ''[[Static Shock]]'' where [[Talking to Himself|Static helps out Green Lantern John Stewart]] take on Sinestro. Did Phil LaMarr get paid for voicing two parts?
** 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 ''[[
** 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
** 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.
** He also provided some voices for ''[[Doom|Doom 3]]'', for instance a minor character by the name of T. Washington that shows up walking out of a restroom in the intro level.
Line 295:
* '''Campbell Lane'''
** [[Battlestar Galactica|First Hybrid]] and [[Homeworld
** Considering that the two characters are essentially the same concept, extra points to the BSG writers for being such nerds.
** Lane is also the narrator in the English dubbed version of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

** It came as a surprise to learn that the smooth-talking sabre from ''[[Ice Age]]'' is the same as the temperamental Francis "Just-because-I'm-a-ladybug-automatically-makes-me-a-girl?" Ladybug from ''[[A Bug's Life

* '''Christopher Lee'''
** 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...}}.

** As well as a [[Adventures of Mini
** Oddly enough, saying just Steven Jay Blum and Wendee Lee, is a good way to get somebody to watch ''[[Samurai Girl Real Bout High School]]''

** 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
** 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 [[
** Wendee voices Selphie from ''[[Rune Factory]]''.
** I recognized her as Loretta Oratorio in ''[[Wild

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

** If you've played ''[[Vidoegame/Half-Life 2|Half-Life 2]]'' you know him as the voice of most of the male citizens: "Hey, it's Freeman! Let's follow him!" He's also John Slater in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'', the Sniper in ''[[
* '''[[Yuri Lowenthal]]'''
** [[Ben 10: Alien Force
** Hearing Ben as Sasuke was weird enough. Watching him and thinking of ''Suzaku''? Nearly broke my brain.

*** He voiced [[Final Fantasy IV
*** He also voices a character in ''[[Veggie Tales

** He's one of the few male voice actors capable of playing younger teenage male characters and sounding convincing. As a result he gets these roles a lot.
*** And how as [[Tales of the Abyss|Luke fon Fabre]] and [[Persona 4|Yosuke]].
Line 382:

** Speaking of all the roles he's done for Batman, is everyone intentionally ignoring the fact that [[The Batman]] cast him as [[The Joker|the goddamned JOKER]]? Come on, crowning achievement right there.
