Line 1:
{{trope|page=Hey, It's That Voice/S to Z}}
* '''[[Christopher Sabat]]'''
** Christopher Sabat of the [[FUNimation]] dub gets this a lot from their dub of ''[[One Piece]]'' with Zoro, who sounds a lot like Piccolo.
Line 5:
** Hilariously, in the manga crossover oneshot ''Cross Epoch'', guess who Piccolo is teamed up with? Yep. Zoro.
** He also does the voice of The Conqueror from ''The Last Remnant'', who... also sounds a lot like Piccolo.
** Easy enough to believe he did ''[[ShinCrayon ChanShin-chan]]'''s narrator (which sounded a bit like [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Major Armstrong]] in episode 3), but then there's Yanro...
** And then [[Final Fantasy I|Garland]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''. Sounds like a more civilized Piccolo, but only a [[Chaotic Evil|leetle bit]] more civilized.
** Not quite as easy to notice, but if you listen hard enough you can hear little bits of some of his other voices in Rundas from ''[[Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.
** He's Ayame Sohma in ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', and you can hear it when he goes low. Other than that, it's NOT his usual role!
** Kuwabara from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', with the most distinctive voice ever...but also the ridiculously sexily-voiced Raizen, from the same anime. This troper (who hadn't seen DBZ at the time) nearly died when she heard the connections!
** His voice as Giroro in [[Keroro Gunso]] is basically his Piccolo voice. It's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] a few times.
 
Line 15:
** [[Married... with Children|Peg Bundy]] has provided the voices for [[Futurama|Leela]] and Spinelli's Mom on ''[[Recess]]'', among others.
 
* '''[[Chiwa Saito]]'''
** This happens with Chiwa Saito in ''[[Samurai 7]]'' with Komachi and in ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]'' with Rebecca Miyamoto.
** That voice however is similar with '''[[Rie Kugimiya]]''''s small-girl voice, so one may mistake that Rie Kugimiya's character is voiced by Chiwa Saito, and vice versa.
 
* '''Daisuke Sakaguchi'''
** Daisuke Sakaguchi, who also played [[Baccano!|Jacuzzi Splot]] and [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Usso Ewin]].
** He also does the voice of Shinpachi Shimura in ''[[Gintama]]'' and even LOOKS LIKE HIM.
 
* '''[[Takahiro Sakurai]]'''
** Heine Rammsteiner from the ''[[DOGS Bullets and Carnage]]'' OVA. Cloud Strife from ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children]]''. Let's see -- bothsee—both are light-haired [[Badass Abnormal]] anti-social and psychologically damaged [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]]s with [[Dark and Troubled Past|Dark and Troubled Pasts]]s who wear sleeveless dark longcoats. Hmmm....
** [[Tropers/Phoenix Fire|This troper]]'s brain kind of broke when she finally realized why [[Mononoke|the Medicine Seller]] sounded so familiar: He was ''[[D.Gray-man|Kanda]]''. Much-calmer-than-usual Kanda, but she was still struck by the resemblance.
** [[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Adult!Loki]]? Please meet [[Digimon Adventure|Motimon]], [[Digimon Adventure 02|Tentomon]], et al. All these years later and this Troper's mind is still blown.
 
Line 32:
 
* '''Nozomu Sasaki'''
** Nozomu Sasaki. His best known roles? [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Eriol Hiiragizawa]], [[Monster (manga)|Johan Liebert]], and '''[[Yu Yu Hakusho|YUSUKE URAMESHI!]]''' [[Tropers/Diclonius Lilium|This troper]]'s overactive imagination will render ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' and ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''... difficult for a while.
** Just think about hearing Yusuke's voice and then listening to [[Ronin Warriors|Shin Mouri]]. I still look funny at my dvds.
** And don't forget he was also the voice of [[Death Note|Mello]]! How's that for mind-screwy?
 
* '''Akira Sasanuma'''
** Fans will be pleased to note that there is ''one'' similarity between [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Austria-san]] and [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]], [[Twilight Princess|the Hero of Twilight]]; they both share the ''same seiyuu'', the one and only Akira Sasanuma.
 
* '''Carrie Savage'''
Line 43:
 
* '''[[Randy Savage]]'''
** OHHH YEAHH former [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] and [[WCW]] champion and Slim Jim spokesman. He's played Sasquatch in ''[[The Xs]]'', Space Ghost's granddad in ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'', Master Sergeant Emily Dickinson Jones in ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'', Rasslor in ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dial M For Monkey]]'', and Bonesaw the wrestler in the first [[Spider-Man]] film.
 
* '''Miyuki Sawashiro'''
** This troper freaked out when he realized his favorite [[Ar tonelico|Reyvateil]] had the same distinct [[Tsundere]] voice as [[Goshuushou Sama-sama Ninomiya Kun-kun|Houjo Reika]] {{spoiler|and the characters even have the same name}}. Also, quite notable are [[Rozen Maiden|Shinku]] (who is also very [[Tsundere]]) as well as [[Odin Sphere|Velvet]], who has the same voice, but much less Tsun.
** If this troper remembers correctly, she also voiced [[Shugo Chara|X-Chara Diamond]]. The normal Diamond, on the other hand, was voiced by Kanae Ito, the same voice actress as Amu-- OhAmu—Oh great, [[Talking to Himself]] again?!
** How could this troper forget Cammy from ''[[Street Fighter IV]]''?! Also, after hearing Carl's Japanese voice in ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', you could definitely hear Sawashiro Miyuki in his voice, despite the character being a [[Cute Shotaro Boy]].
** It was ''very'' difficult for [[Tropers/Feral Phoenix|This Troper]] not to laugh when she heard [[Yggdra Union|Milanor's]] voice coming out of [[Bakemonogatari|Kanbaru Suruga's]] mouth. They have the exact same pitch and occasionally the same speech patterns. One is an idiot thief. The other is a card-carrying yandere lesbian/BL fangirl/lolicon/possible troll.
** It seems that [[Phantom of Inferno|Cal Devens]] let her hair down a bit and became a [[Catherine|succubus in the process.]]
** Alternatively, she's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it [[Kagihime Monogatari|ice queen who is hellbent on torturing her former best friend after]] {{spoiler|she thought that she had been accidentally cremated in a coffin}}
Line 59:
** AND a Republic clone, Delta-62, "Scorch." Guess what his specialty is...
** This troper referred to the character as "Carth" while playing [[Mass Effect]] because she couldn't remember the character's name but knew she [[Hey, It's That Voice!|recognized that voice]].
** This troper did a double-take when he saw a network-run reality show where an actor would pretend to be racist against an actress to see people's reactions. Playing the part of "racist Dunkin' Donuts (<small>[[TradesnarkTradesnark™|TM]]</small>) counter man" was none other than Carth Onasi.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvzZIau7kag Spacebankers.]
** Not bad for a [[Justice League Unlimited|dead man]].
** It's really bad when Shep's Biote and the Ebon Hawk pilot are the sanest things the dude seems to have played. This Troper was doing her homework and not paying attention to the tube. Queue the episode of ''[[Journeyman]]'' where he's playing a deranged and probably developmentally disabled mass murderer. The instant "I'll blow your head off" came out of the guy's mouth, there went my homework. Likewise, just TRY watching the ''[[Cold Case]]'' episode "Thrill Kill" {{spoiler|where he's also playing someone clearly deranged}} without a few inappropriate snickers.
** While unconfirmed, if it was not him voicing the [[Disney Theme Parks|2010 Disney Vacations DVD]], it was someone who sounded ''remarkably'' like him.
 
Line 87:
** When watching ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de]]'', this troper could have sworn that the scene of [[Shinichiro Miki|Yorihisa]] teaching [[Tomokazu Seki|Tenma]] how to use a sword had the audio ripped straight from ''[[Vision of Escaflowne|Escaflowne]]''.
 
* '''[[Patrick Seitz]]'''
** ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'': guest-starring Silverbolt [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|The Bloodedge]].
 
* '''[[Rod Serling]]'''
Line 107:
** Reading that Stephanie Sheh does the voice for both Hinata and Naruto's Sexy Jutsu was rather amusing
*** She also voiced Kin.
** The fact that she voices [[Devil May Cry|Kyrie]] is also amusing, since it means her love interest is Ichigo.
** What is just freaking weird is any scene in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, where Mikuru is being inappropriately touched by Haruhi, so any of them. It sounds for all the world like Hinata is being molested by Tatsuki from Bleach.
** Stephanie Sheh sounds quite similar in her voice acting for Dub!Orihime in ''[[Bleach]]'' and Dub!Hinata in ''[[Naruto]]'', and the similarity is especially noticeable in that Orihime and post-timeskip Hinata have similar appearances, both struggle with issues of self-confidence, and both are in love with the main character of their respective series.
Line 121:
 
* '''Armin Shimerman'''
** Subverted in ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'': Until looking it up on [[IMDb]], this troper had absolutely no clue that Andrew Ryan was, in fact, [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Quark]].
** And in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal]]'' and [[Ratchet and Clank|the following games]], he plays (Captain) Quark's nemesis, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Dr. Nefarious!]]
** And he's also been both [[Jade Empire|an emperor and the abbot who got in his way.]]
Line 130:
 
* '''[[Kaori Shimizu]]'''
** On Kaori Shimizu, when this troper watches ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'', she plays as the Loli Lou Roux, which obviously had her using her loli-ish voice (as shown in ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]''). Except when she starts her battle [[Kiai]]... whereas this troper suddenly get vibes that either Signum or Lamia possessed her and gives her some hot blood elements (of course, at that time, [[The Hero]] Goh was also doing his own [[Kiai]], so it might not sound so obvious). Then again, that seiyuu also has [[Lucky Star|Hiyori Tamura]] in her resume, and she sounded NOTHING like any of these mentioned roles.
** This troper was also puzzled by the casting of Ms. Shimizu as Hiyori, even though she rose to the occasion admirably. A little research shows that she also played Motoko in ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' and Keiko in ''[[Genshiken]]'', which goes a long way towards explaining it.
** Then, taken on full throttle in ''Mugen no Frontier''. Aschen seems to be a normal [[Genki Girl]]... but when she uses a certain move in her Genki mode... This Troper is pretty sure Shimizu Kaori uses the exact SAME voice she uses for Hiyori.
Line 136:
 
* '''Hiro Shimono'''
** Hiro Shimono who does voices for guys with scarves (ie. [[Phantom Brave|Ash]] and [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Almaz]]) as well as [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Cute Shotaro Boys with horns]]. Kinda funny that he shares his recent video games voices ([[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Almaz]] and [[Tales of Symphonia|Emil]]) with a certain former [[Johnny Yong Bosch|Black Ranger]].
 
* '''[[Ryoko Shiraishi]]'''
** When one plays the ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' [[Visual Novel]], it might be shocking to discover that Kappei is having a hard time performing menial tasks, knowing that he shares the same seiyuu with [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Hayate Ayasaki]].
** Apparently, Hayate can play [[Saki (manga)|mahjong]] too.
** Also, Hayate's a [[Mahou Sensei Negima|ninja]], [[Verbal Tic|de gozaru]].
Line 160:
** When Jei in episode 9 of ''[[Burst Angel]]'' talks about breaking the [[Screw Destiny|shackles of tradition and obligation]], [[Gamer From Jump|I]] said, "Hey, he sounds like an evil [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|Leonardo]]!"
** He's also [[Bleach|Luppi]]. Made it kinda hard to take him seriously.
** And ''Nnoitra''. It's now gone from "hard" to "impossible".
 
* '''Roy Skelton'''
Line 169:
 
* '''Yeardley Smith'''
** A [[Running Gag]] in the TV sitcom ''[[Herman's Head]]'' involved office worker Louise (played by Yeardley Smith) being told by someone she was talking to on the phone that she sounded exactly like "that [[The Simpsons (animation)|Lisa Simpson]] character".
 
* '''Dana Snyder'''
Line 183:
** In ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', the minor supervillain Professor Princess sounds like an even more grating version of Lil from ''[[Rugrats]]''.
** I don't care how she tries to disguise it, either with a Russian accent (as in ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'') or a British accent (as in ''[[The Replacements]]'' or ''Dial M For Monkey''), I know Kath Soucie's voice ANYWHERE. Okay, it is a little bit difficult to tell [[Rugrats|Phil and Lil]] from [[WITCH (animation)|Nerissa]]...
** Did you know that she was [[Space Jam|Lola Bunny?]] Or [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Mara Jade?]] [[Empire At War|Or the Rebel comms officer?]] [[Knights of the Old Republic|Or Lonna Vash?]] [[[[Dark Forces Saga]] Or Tavion? After her ''[[Star Wars]]'' roles I can never watch ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]] or ''[[Space Jam]]'' without thinking of the [[Witch with a Capital B|witches]] she played.
*** And she played another bitch in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' in the form of [[Manipulative Bastard|Marjolaine.]]
** She's both Jetta Hanover from ''[[Clifford the Big Red Dog]]'' and Daffodil from ''Clifford's Puppy Days''. In both case, she was a b...witch as well. Go figure.
*** And oh, she has been the voice of Kanga in the [[Winnie the Pooh]] franchise since the 80s.
*** Oddly enough, she voiced Shock, and Sally (in ''[[Nightmare Before Christmas Oogies Revenge|Oogie's Revenge]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''), and reprised THOSE roles in Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, but not Kanga.
** She's also Cooke in ''[[Lost Odyssey]]''. This troper shat bricks when he finally manage to recognize (read: looked up on Wikipedia) Phil and Lil's voice after so many years.
Line 198:
** Believe it or not, she also voices the [[Lemmings]] in ''Lemmings 3D'' and ''The Adventures of Lomax''.
** [[The Voice|Sam's sister]] who would drop things on him in ''[[Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad]]''
** What about [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy Turner]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Tails]] or [[Pokémon (anime)|Ash Ketchum]]?
 
* '''[[Yoko Soumi]]'''
** After watching ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'' and the [[Hellsing]] [[OVA|OVAs]]s on the one day, this troper was rather disturbed to realise that Olivier Mira Armstrong was Zorin Blitz.
 
* '''Daniel Southworth'''
Line 214:
** I SWEAR he voiced Milanor in ''[[Yggdra Union]]''. The character may be more butch than Spike's standard fare, but just listen to him when he's yelling. I'd recognize that scream anywhere.
** Spike seems to be all about the mechas: first, Evangelion, then Code Geass R2, and now [[Steambot Chronicles]].
** Recently played a Saburo Togusa of ''[[Durarara!!]]'', a character that actually doesn't sound like Shinji for once. Oh, also [[Buso Renkin|Papillon]]
** What? No mention of [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Arakune]]??? You failed me Internet.
** He opted out of mechas and turned to cyborgs in the Battle Angel OVA of the Battle Angel Alita franchise. He played Yugo/Hugo, a maintenance worker for Dr. Ido.
 
Line 222:
 
* '''Ben Stein'''
** Ben Stein is well-known for his dull, drab monotone voice. So dull, in fact, that it's interesting, bringing [http://everything2.com/title/The+World%2527s+Dullest+Person mathematical paradox] to mind. Among the roles in which he's alternately amused the audience/bored them to tears:
** On ''[[Duckman]]'', Stein plays Duckman's psychiatrist neighbor, who just happens to be named...[[The Danza|Ben Stein]].
** On ''[[Animaniacs]]'', Stein tormented the Warners as Francis "Pip" Pumphandle, a man prone to telling very long, very dull anecdotes in a monotone voice while following the Warners everywhere, no matter where they tried to run.
** On ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', Stein voiced the incredibly dull and boring Pixies, a race of [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|Obstructive Bureaucrats]]s who wanted to make Fairy World as drab and lifeless as they were.
** Stein also counts as [[Hey, It's That Guy!]], having played an incredibly boring teacher/authority figure in productions such as ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', ''[[The Wonder Years]]'', and the [[The Movie|film adaptation]] of ''[[Richie Rich (comics)|Richie Rich]]'' that starred Macaulay Culkin. Stein is also the only person who could appear on ''[[Married... with Children]]'' dressed in a chicken suit and still be able to publish serious books and articles in financial and political journals.
** He plays an elf tour guide in the CG special ''Santa vs the Snowman'', giving the North Pole tour the excitement it merits.
 
Line 235:
*** Stewart's stint in that role makes for an interesting case of [[Fridge Logic]] when one realizes the Emperor looked more like Patrick Stewart when he ''wasn't'' played by Patrick Stewart.
** He also reprises the role of Professor X in a number of games.
** He makes an interesting Great Prince of the Forest in ''Bambi II''.
** He also does commercials now such as one for Goodyear tires, and narrates the occasional documentary.
** He did two Anime dubs: Lord Yupa in ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'' and Grandfather in ''Steamboy''.
Line 241:
 
* '''David Ogden Stiers'''
** When this troper got into ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' in her early teens, it didn't take her too long to figure out [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Maj.]] [[Dr. Jerk|Winchester]] (that is, David Ogden Stiers) was actually Cogsworth from Disney's ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' and Gov. Ratcliffe ([[Talking to Himself|and]] [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Wiggins]]) in ''[[Pocahontas]]''.
** Not only was he Ratcliffe and Cogsworth, but he was also [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|the Archdeacon]], [[Lilo and Stitch|Dr. Jumba]], and [[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Fenton Q. Harcourt]]
** He was also Kamaji in ''[[Spirited Away]]'' and Piccolo in ''[[Porco Rosso]]''.
Line 262:
 
* '''Shiloh Strong'''
** [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Adell]] is [[Tales of Legendia|Moses]] . And they are both [[Badass]].
 
* '''[[Tara Strong]]'''
** Tara Strong has done the voice of [[The Powerpuff Girls|Bubbles]], [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy Turner]], [[Teen Titans (animation)|Raven]], [[Kim Possible|um...Tara]] and [[Fillmore!|Ingrid Third]] among many, many others. And that's not even covering the video game characters she voiced such as [[Killer 7Killer7|KAEDE]] and [[Final Fantasy X|Rikku]].
** The similarities between the voices of [[Teen Titans (animation)|Raven]] and [[Tales of Symphonia|Presea Combatir]] are NOT a coincidence.
** That old lady Truffles from Chowder...sounds exactly like Toot Braunstein from ''[[Drawn Together]]'', which is one of the [[Dead Baby Comedy|least kid-friendly shows ever broadcasted]]. (Between Tara Strong and [[Cree Summer]], this trope is arguably the funniest part of ''[[Drawn Together]]'', considering the roles they're famous for...)
** Your contributor has noticed how similar [[All Grown Up!|grown-up Dil Pickles]] and [[Ben 10|Ben Tennyson]] sound.
** And like Kelly Sheridan listed above, she was also one of the 12 little girls in two straight lines in ''[[Madeline]]''.
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Twilight Sparkle]] is [[The Powerpuff Girls|Bubbles]]? Now I'm lost.
*** If that's not weird enough for you, she's also Margaret Moonlight, the 4th ranked assassin in ''[[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle|No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle]]''.
Line 277:
 
* '''[[Eric Stuart]]'''
** As the page quote lampshades, Eric Stuart has similar voices for [[Pokémon (anime)|Brock]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Kaiba]], as well as [[The Slayers|Gourry]], though he has a completely different style when he did [[Pokémon (anime)|James]], [[Yami no Matsuei|Wataki]], and [[Kirby: ofRight theBack Starsat Ya!|Meta Knight]]. Ironically, Yami's own VA is quite recognizable in [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] shows himself (especially when doing the Yami tone), [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|because he's voiced by]] '''DAN GREEN'''!
 
* '''Kiefer Sutherland'''
Line 304:
 
* '''[[Tomokazu Sugita]]'''
** Given the popularity of both shows on this wiki, [[Tropers/Rogue 7|This Troper]] is honestly astonished that no one else pointed out that [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|StrikerS! Chrono]] is also [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Kyon]] before he did.
** What makes it more funny is that [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Inspector Acous]] is also [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Itsuki]]. That scene where they are eating cake together never fails to make me laugh.
** And then there's that extremely obvious [[Shout-Out]] in ''[[Kanon]]'' 2006...
*** [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] had a fangasm when she watched the opening moments of ''[[ShuffleSHUFFLE!]]'' and heard Mikuru's voice come out of Kaede's mouth. Then she literally exploded when she heard Kyon's voice come out of Rin's.
** Also, [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Kyon]] is [[Gintama|Gintoki]]. Yup - a [[Deadpan Snarker]] [[Ordinary High School Student]] sharing the same voice acting as a [[Sweet Tooth]] Jump-loving [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]].
** And now we have [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Ronove]], whose relationship with Battler completely reverse the dynamic shared by Kyon and Koizumi.
** And he's got white hair, an...interesting sword and gets into comical fights over food with a weird being who has no concept of proper behavior. It's not [[Gintama|Gintoki]] it's [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Ragna the Blood Edge]]!
 
* '''[[Noriaki Sugiyama]]'''
** [[Tropers/Mini Nephthys|This troper]] had to go look up a clip of [[Riviera: The Promised Land|Hector's]] voice in Japanese, because she read that he had the same voice actor as [[Fate/stay night|Shirou]]. They sound very similar. They act absolutely ''nothing'' alike.
** He also voices [[Bleach|Uryu Ishida]] and [[Naruto|Sasuke Uchiha]], which sound remarkably alike.
*** This makes it funnier when you realize that he also voices [[Black Butler|William T. Spears]], a work-a-holic Shinigami in ''[[Black Butler]]''.
** You're forgetting [[Axis Powers Hetalia|England]]!
** Here's another offer: [[Hey Arnold!|Stinky Peterson]], [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Bloo]], and even [[Phineas and Ferb|Buford]].
 
* '''[[Nicole Sullivan]]'''
Line 323:
** Franny's younger self is voiced by Jessie Flower, who also voices Toph on ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Young Franny's threats of using her martial arts skills suddenly make more sense.
** She also does Louise in ''[[Slacker Cats]]'' and [[Joan of Arc]] in ''[[Clone High]]''.
** [[Tropers/Danny Lilithborne|This troper]] can't really hear Shego and not think "[[Mad TV|You know what? Nuh uh!]]".
** Don't forget Sullivan's role as Mira Nova on ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''... something that this troper had forgotten she'd even seen until watching ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]''.
** You'd think [[Western Animaton/The Secret Saturdays|Zack Saturday]] would behave better, knowing that Mom not only has a [[Flaming Sword]], but those [[Kim Possible|glowing green hands]]...not to mention that she was tough enough to take on [[The King of Queens|Jerry Stiller]] as a dog-walking client. Not the dog owner, but as someone to be walked.
Line 338:
** Believe it or not, she was [[Mortal Kombat|Kitana]] in the [[Animated Adaptation]] ''[[Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm|Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm]].''
** She was also Numbuh 5's sister, [[The Danza|also named Cree]]. It wasn't that noticeable, in that if you didn't know Cree Summers was Cree, you wouldn't think that they sounded alike.
** [[Tropers/Metool|This troper]] was playing ''Tony Hawk's American Wasteland'' when he made the connection between punk chick Mindy and energetic poodle Cleo from ''Clifford the Big Red Dog'' on the nearby TV where his younger brother was watching.
*** [[Clifford the Big Red Dog|Has she ever steered you wrong?]]
** All five of us who played ''[[Arc the Lad]]'''s sequel ''Twilight Of The Spirits'' would recognize that Cree Summer is also playing Tatjana. Odd considering Tatjana's blonde and caucasian.
** And from really obscure shows: Macbeth in ''Project Geeker'', and Chloe in the animated ''Sabrina''.
** Also does the voice of Cynder in ''The Legend of [[Spyro the Dragon]] A New Beginning''.
Line 362:
 
* '''[[Yukari Tamura]]'''
** While watching ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', one might mutter "[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|White Devil]]? Is that you?" upon hearing Mei speak. Both characters were voiced by Yukari Tamura. This troper wonders if the [[Fan Sub]]'s usage of "Speak of the [[Fan Nickname|devil]]" to refer to Mei in one scene was intentional or not.
** [[Subverted Trope]] in that Mei Sunohara sounds nothing at all like [[Kanon|Mai Kawasumi]].
** And then it goes around full circle when [[Yukari Tamura]] voices [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rika Furude]], whose regular cutesy voice sounds almost exactly like Mei, and her serious voice sounds almost exactly like Mai.
Line 368:
 
* '''Atsuko Tanaka'''
** [[This Troper]] doubts she'll ever be able to watch ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' again without expecting Echidna to start [[Beam Spam|Beam Spamming]]ming up the place and calling Creed "[[Fate/stay night|Souichirou-sama]]".
** When [[This Troper]] was playing ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'', he was literally thinking "[[Hey, It's That Voice!|Hey, I know that voice!]]" The Captain is [[Ghost in the Shell|the Major]]!"
 
Line 384:
** Watch the original version of ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' and listen to Takuya's voice. Then listen to [[Naruto]]'s Japanese voice and WHOA!
** Hey, [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Cure Rouge]] too.
*** And in the ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' dub, the two newcomers to the series playing main characters also had ties to ''Naruto'': Gaomon is Might Guy and Marcus is Iruka -- thatIruka—that is to say, Skip Stellrecht and Quinton Flynn respectively.
** and [[Monster (manga)|Dieter]] is Naruto.
** And Naruto is also [[Street Fighter|Rainbow Mika]].
Line 390:
 
* '''[[Fred Tatasciore]]'''
** Listen to the voice of [[StarcraftStarCraft II|James Raynor]]'s chief engineer/mechanic/new-unit-provider, Mr. Swann. If you've played ''[[Gears of War]]'', doesn't he sound familiar? That's right, [[Mr. Fixit|Damon]] [[Genius Bruiser|Baird]] is the [[Cool Starship|Hyperion]]'s engineer!
 
* '''J. Michael Tatum'''
** Let's see, he's been [[XxxHolic×××HOLiC|Doumei]], [[Ouran High School Host Club|Kyoya]], and [[Ghost Hunt|Lin]] opposite [[Todd Haberkorn|Watanuki!]] What else is he going to do?
*** The new [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Scar]]?
*** He's [[Axis Powers Hetalia|France]] as well.
Line 401:
** Also James Arnold Taylor, plays [[The Lion King|Timon]] and freaking '''''[[Pirates of the Caribbean|Capt. Jack Sparrow]]''''' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
*** And also Ratchet, in ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' games after the first one.
**** Not to mention playing Clone-Wars era Obi-Wan Kenobi in most of his video game appearance and the original Clone Wars cartoon.
** [[The Other Darrin]] of Gabe Logan in the ''[[Syphon Filter]]'' series, starting with ''Omega Strain''.
** [[Marvel Ultimate Alliance|Iceman]] is [[Bionicle|Metus]].
Line 407:
 
* '''Jen Taylor'''
** [[Left 4 Dead|Zoey]], [[Halo|Cortana]], [[Super Mario Bros.|Toad AND Princess Peach]] -- she—she was even [[The Other Darrin]] for [[No One Lives Forever|Cate Archer]] -- Jen—Jen Taylor has played a number of iconic characters.
** Recently, she's the voice of the floor announcer for ''[[1 vs. 100|One Versus a Hundred]]''. Having Cortana ask you what the Daikatana ads said John Romero was going to make us was a priceless moment for me.
** Being an announcer isn't new for her. She was also the voice of Sunny Day in the ''[[Backyard Sports]]'' series before [[The Other Darrin|the entire voice cast changed]].
Line 414:
 
* '''[[Veronica Taylor]]'''
** [[Tropers/GracieThis Lizzie|Gracie LizzieTroper]] had no interest in ''[[Dinosaur King]]'' when she first heard it. Then she caught a few seconds of the dub and did a double take when she recognized Ash from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' 's voice in Max's body. That is, Veronica Taylor. The show now makes [[Tropers/GracieThis Lizzie|Gracie LizzieTroper]]] smile for the nostalgia kick (as Veronica Taylor and the rest of the ''Pokémon'' got a case of [[The Other Darrin]] forced on them and because [[Tropers/GracieThis Lizzie|Gracie LizzieTroper]]] hasn't watched ''Pokémon'' in ages).
*** [[Tropers/LoveThis Is Weird|Love Is WeirdTroper]]] had the same reaction, with "Wait a sec, isn't Ash a Pokemon Trainer?"
** Don't be surprised if you start playing ''[[Ape Escape]] 2'' and ask yourself, "Since when did Ash change careers to chasing monkeys?"
*** Maybe when Chimchar decided to play with him by [[Running Gag|stealing his hat]].
*** She was even joined by Misty (Rachel Lillis)!
** ''[[Seven of Seven]]''. The Nanas. [[Pokémon (anime)|One's Ash, another's May]]. Also doubles as a case of [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue]].
** Plays Amelia in ''[[The Slayers]]'' and Narue in ''The World of Narue''.
** No mention of Leo from ''[[Tekken]]''? I am disappoint.
** And Ash is [[Warrior Cats|a bunch of cats]] [[Omen of the Stars|too]]?
* '''Simon Templeman'''
** For his leads, Mr. Templeman is often typecast to play [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastards]]s, for which he usually employs the same voice. It's quite interesting to find out that [[Legacy of Kain|Kain]] not only has a feud going with [[Fantastic Four|Reed Richards]] and a stake in the ''[[Jade Empire]]'' arena, he is also making a bid for the throne of [[Dragon Age|Ferelden]].
** He became a quarian admiral in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' and also the [[Complete Monster|enormous bastard]], Dr. Gavin Archer.
 
Line 432:
* '''[[Kirk Thornton]]'''
** [[Two Words]]: Kirk. Thornton. This troper has just gotten into the ''[[Gungrave]]'' anime (where he is the dubbed voice of Brandon Heat/Beyond the Grave). All I could think was....[[Digital Devil Saga|Roland]]? [[Samurai Champloo|JIN]]??? Is that you?
** [[Naruto|Kisame Hoshigaki]]? Yeah, he's [[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo|Don Patch]]. When this troper mentioned this at GameFAQs, they couldn't believe it.
** This troper had a nerdgasm when he realized [[Tales of the Abyss|Jade Curtiss]] was [[Ace Combat|AWACS Thunderhead]].
** To add to the people from [[Ace Combat]], he also played Schnee 1 in ''Zero'' and the Sgt. McKnight in ''6''.
Line 449:
 
* '''Kali Troy (Kittie)'''
** [[WITCH (animation)|Taranee]] and [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Trixie]] really couldn't be any more different (except for a few [[Character Development|episodes in the second season]]), but it's pretty easy to tell that they're voiced by the same woman.
 
* '''Kathleen Turner'''
Line 455:
.
* '''Alanna Ubach'''
** [[Tropers/Grev|This troper]] was flipping past [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] one Saturday morning and came across a short-lived kids' show called ''[[Teamo Supremo]]'', then heard Rope Girl speak up and yelled, "That's [[Beakman's World|Josie]]!"
 
* '''[[Kana Ueda]]'''
Line 463:
 
* '''Wilmer Valderrama'''
** [[Handy Manny]] (from ''Playhouse Disney'') is [[That '70s Show|Fez]]!
 
* '''[[Eric Vale]]'''
Line 474:
 
* '''[[Cristina Valenzuela]]'''
** Okay, so this VA probably isn't as well known as other examples on this page, but [[Willy Four Eyes|I]] definitely got a deja-vu vibe while playing ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' and joked that [[Guns Akimbo|dual-gunslinger]] Noel Vermilion could pass for a slightly-grown-up [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha Takamachi]].
** She's branching out, having played [[Dynasty Warriors|Lian Shi]].
 
* '''[[Samuel Vincent]]'''
Line 490:
*** Kari also voices Shellsea and the unnamed snake (in [[The Stinger]]) on ''[[Fish Hooks]]''.
** Also played [[Last Exile|a mail carrier named Lavie]], [[Eureka Seven|a mecha pilot named Anemone]], and [[Witch Hunter Robin|a witch hunter named Robin]].
** And a [[Blood Plus+|Chiropteran Queen]].
 
* '''[[Norio Wakamoto]]'''
** If you watch any anime featuring a powerful, [[Magnificent Bastard]]-style villain, or [[Ax Crazy]] maniac bad guy, chances are quite high that they will be voiced by a certain Norio Wakamoto. He has voiced many villains in his time, ranging from Cell of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' to M. Bison of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' fame, Black Shadow in the ''[[F-Zero]]'' anime, Emperor Charles Di Britannia from ''[[Code Geass]]'' and Igniz, the final boss of ''[[The King of Fighters|King Of Fighters 2001]]'' (and at one point, Rugal). [[Tropers/Mighty Kombat|this troper]] was surprised to face Rugal in KOF 2002 and suddenly blurt out "You mean this time he's voiced by CELL?!"
** Norio has also voiced a select few number of good guys as well, from Lando Calrissian in the Japanese dub of ''[[Star Wars]]'' to Shuren in ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.
** Not really good or evil, but he has also voiced a [[Azumanga Daioh|cat]] and a [[Nichijou|wooden cube]], I kid you not. Heavy dramatic voice and all.
Line 504:
** [[Gurren Lagann|Nia]] (pre-[[Time Skip]]) = [[Teen Titans (animation)|Starfire]] (she even talks similarly). It actually works pretty well. Though after the [[Time Skip]] she has an entirely different VA.
** Don't forget [[Adventure Time|Princess Bubblegum!]]
** [[Adventure Time|Princess Bubblegum]] and [[Chalk ZoneChalkZone|Penny Sanchez]] sound... exactly the same. Both hail from shows from Frederator, both hail from shows starting out cartoon shorts shows, and both are ([[Insufferable Genius|insufferable]]) genius female inventors. It took watching both on DVR back to back for me to figure out that they sound exactly alike.
** Let's just say that [[Moe]] is Walch's [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|main forte]].
** Not all of her roles are [[Moe]] though. Case in point: [[The Batman|Harley Quinn]], [[Generator Rex|Breach]], [[Teen Titans (animation)|Blackfire, and Madame Rouge]].
 
* '''Marcia Wallace'''
** Ms. Edna Krabappel of [[The Simpsons (animation)|Springfield Elementary]] might sound familiar to older viewers who remember Wallace as Carol, Bob's receptionist on ''[[The Bob Newhart Show]]''.
 
* '''Jessica Walter'''
Line 517:
 
* '''[[Patrick Warburton]]'''
** If you need a badass, he's your guy. Joe in ''[[Family Guy]]'', Brock Samson in ''[[The Venture Bros]]'', ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'', and the animated series version of [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]], to name a few.
** Oh, come on -- [[The Emperor's New Groove|Kronk]] is a nice guy -- untilguy—until you diss his spinach puffs!
** He is also your friendly chief flight attendant in the safety video on the Soarin' over California attractions at Disney's California Adventure Park and Epcot.
** [[Kim Possible|Mr. Barkin]] was a [[Hoodwinked|wolf]].
Line 526:
** It was a shock to the system to realise [[Baldur's Gate|Jon Irenicus]] is actually [[Star Trek|Chancellor Gorkon.]]
** On the other hand, Irenicus ''is'' a nice match for [[Batman: The Animated Series|Ra's Al-Ghul]].
** [[Freakazoid!|The Lobe]] as [[Gargoyles|The Archmage]], not so much. They're similar in attitude, though.
** [[Men in Black (animation)|Alpha]], [[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Herbert Landon]], and [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|Nergal]]
** Also [[Tron|Ed Dillinger, Sark, and the MCP]] (the former two live-action roles, the latter voice-only, and all those only in the original movie--reprisalsmovie—reprisals of any of those roles tend to fall to Corey Burton).
 
* '''[[Billie Lou Watt]]'''
** In the animation department, she played [[Astro Boy]], [[Kimba the White Lion]], [[Gigantor|Jimmy Sparks]], and her final role has her [[Playing Against Type]] as [[Courage the Cowardly Dog|Eustace's Mother]].
 
* '''Richard Waugh'''
** Albert Wesker in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]'', and ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''.
 
* '''David Wenham'''
Line 550:
** He was Totoro in the redub of ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'' (duh!) as well as the Cat Bus. Plus, he has a role in ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]''.
** Some more obscure roles include Father Time and Fatch in ''[[Histeria!]]'' and Meat in ''[[The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show]]''.
** In one of his most obscure roles ever, he played a demonic banana in ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', who has Megatron's voice. That's right: '''Megatron as a killer banana'''.
** ''[[Fangface|Ooh! Ooh! What about me? Grr!]]
 
* '''[[Billy West]]'''
** [[Tropers/Furry Kef|This Troper]] noticed immediately when watching ''[[Futurama]]'' for the first time that Fry's voice sounded exactly like Doug Funnie's did (the original ''[[Doug]]'', not the newer series).
** As a kid, this troper couldn't get over the fact that [[Ren and Stimpy]] were the same person (see above).
*** In the post-Spumco era, that is.
** ''[[Detention]]'''s Emmitt Roswell sounds a lot like [[Futurama|Phillip J. Fry]].
** [[Futurama|Dr. Zoidberg]]'s voice was lent to a Stegosaurus in the ''[[Histeria!]]'' episode "The Dawn of Time".
** Red M&M, the current [[Bugs Bunny]] and Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig and Woody Woodpecker, some incarnates of Stitch and Rayman, Professor Farnsworth, Zapp Brannigan, Lars Fillmore, Leo Wong, Richard Nixon's head (during two commentaries he uses Nixon's voice to say "Rubber baby buggy bumpers,") know him?
** Only two episodes, but no one else will do as Skeets. "[[Justice League Unlimited|My God, it was full of stars]]!"
** He also played Skeets in ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]''.
Line 566:
 
* '''Jaleel White'''
{{quote| '''Sonic:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}ZNC9dpy2EYU&fmt{{=}}18 Everything about you but yer rhymes are fat. *crash* Did I do that?]}}
** Not to mention that in ''[[Sonic Underground]]'' he did the speaking voices of [[Talking to Himself|all three]] hedgehog siblings (yes, [[Cross-Dressing Voices|he voiced Sonia]]), while their singing voices were given by different actors.
 
* '''[[Mae Whitman]]'''
** Mae Whitman voiced Katara from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' and Rose from ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''.
** What would Katara have done if she had seen the dragons in Avatar?
*** This troper kept secretly hoping that [[Disney Fairies|Tinkerbell]] would start [[Kill It with Water|waterbending]].
Line 576:
** Once he read the cast list, this troper always pictured [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Ann Veal]] reciting Avatar's opening narration.
*** Her?
** And long before Ann Veal, she was the president's kid in ''[[Independence Day]]''. <ref>While [[Mary McDonnell|the First Lady]] moved on to playing [[Battlestar Galactica|an actual president]].</ref>
** And [[Johnny Bravo|Lil Suzy]].
 
* '''Fred Willard'''
** This troper couldn't help but notice how much [[Transformers Animated|Swindle]] sounded like [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|the Boogie Man]].
** But its pretty easy to notice how [[WALL-E|Shelby Forthright, BnL CEO]] and Boogie sound the same.
 
Line 590:
 
* '''[[Travis Willingham]]'''
** After hearing him as Roy Mustang, Travis Willingham is ''very'' easy to spot as Darlton on ''[[Code Geass]]''.
** Not much of a difference with [[One Piece|Portgaz D. Ace]] either.
** Speaking of Travis Willingham, after realizing he was Roy Mustang, this troper couldn't take Takashi from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' seriously anymore, couldn't stop picturing Takashi suddenly shouting to the club "TINY MINISKIRTS!!".
*** That said, hearing Roy Mustang's voice angsting about cavities killed this troper with the hilarity.
** Would you expect [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Ragna the Bloodedge]] to say something like that? No? Of course not.
*** Except that's not Travis Willingham, it's Patrick Seitz.
** This Troper laughed his ass off when he heard a modified version of Roy Mustang's voice coming out of [[One Piece|Ace's]] [[FUNimation]]-dubbed mouth.
** [[The Superhero Squad Show|TRAVIS SMASH!!]]
** It ''really'' doesn't help that he plays a [[Handsome Lech|similar]] [[Chivalrous Pervert|character]] on ''[[Ghost Hunt]]'' (well, similar to Roy Mustang), and he does it opposite of [[Colleen Clinkenbeard]]. Oh dear.
** Hearing [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Roy Mustang]]'s voice coming out of Kanda's mouth in the dub version of ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' was the funniest thing this troper had heard in a while.
** Diagnostician [[Trauma Center|Gabriel Cunningham]]'s voice was eerily familiar to This Troper when she was watching [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'s Roy Mustang. You don't need a beaker to make scrambled eggs, Gabe - use alchemy.
Line 609:
* '''Paul Winchell'''
** One of the most iconic villain voices of all time. Did anyone ever wonder if [[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines|Dick Dastardly]] and [[The Smurfs|Gargamel]] were related?
** And yet he was also [[Winnie the Pooh|Tigger]].
** Who would've thunk that it would be Tigger who invented the artificial heart?
 
Line 624:
** [[Digimon Frontier|The Trailmon and EmperorGreymon]] are also secretly related to [[Final Fantasy VII|Yazoo]].
** [[Ben 10|Upchuck]] is secretly [[Kikaider|Jiro]] in disguise.
** Commander Irving Vold Valeria on ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]] Twilight Venom'' sounds like a [[Smug Snake]]![[Ai Yori Aoshi|Kaoru Hanabishi]]. Talk about your differing personalities. Wittenberg joins another ''AYA'' alum on this series; See [[Michelle Ruff]]'s [[Hey, It's That Voice!/I to R|entry]].
** Take one look at Dave Wittenberg's Wikipedia page and see ''how'' many roles he plays you actually recognize as him before reading it. I dare you. This troper somehow didn't even make the connection between Henri and Katsuya before he read it up.
** This troper started laughing once he figured out that [[Star Ocean 3|Cliff Fittir]] was [[Naruto|Kakashi]], [[Xenosaga|Allen]], and [[Digimon Tamers|Henry]].
Line 631:
 
* '''James Woods'''
** [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|CJ]] has to jump on board a plane and kill everyone while it's taking off? Why should he? Oh, [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hades]] told him to. OK then.
** Also, it's creepy hearing James Woods in [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hercules]] after watching ''Videodrome''. For that matter, [[Nightmare Fuel|anything is creepy after watching Videodrome]]!
** It's hard to imagine [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hades]] working as a [[Shark|prosecution lawyer]].
** [[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within|I KNOW!!!]]
 
Line 654:
 
* '''[[Keone Young]]'''
** [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Lao Tsu]] and [[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi|Kaz]] have one thing in common. They are short, old, Asian and voiced by this guy.
** Along with [[Dante Basco]] and [[Mae Whitman]], he is another ''ADJL'' alumnus in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' that makes us wonder "I thought that voice sounds familiar..." (He voiced Jeong Jeong.)
 
* '''[[Satsuki Yukino]]'''
** [[Higurashi|Mion/Shion]], Satsuki Yukino is, beyond everything else [[Full Metal Panic!|Kaname Chidori]] and [[Inuyasha|Kagome Higurashi]].
** In relation to [[Fan Nickname|Shmion]], this troper first encountered her as [[Clannad (visual novel)|Misae Sagara]], so when Shion started to shout "Satoshi-kun," she noticed her inflection and voice sounded a lot like "Shima-kun."
 
* '''Ian Ziering'''
** Back in the late nineties, this troper watched ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'', starring Ian Ziering as Steve Sanders. Fast forward to 2004, and he played ''[[Freelancer]]'', starring Ian Ziering as Edison Trent -- thisTrent—this time with an older, deeper voice.
