* '''[[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 ''[[
** 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
** [[
** [[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!]]''' [[
** 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
** 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
** How could this troper forget Cammy from ''[[Street Fighter IV]]''?! Also, after hearing Carl's Japanese voice in ''[[
** It was ''very'' difficult for [[
** 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>[[
** [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 [[
* '''[[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 ''[[
** 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 ''[[
** 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?]]
*** 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
* '''[[Yoko Soumi]]'''
** After watching ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'' and the [[Hellsing]] [[OVA
* '''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 [[
** 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
** 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 ''[[
** 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
** 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:
* '''Kiefer Sutherland'''
Line 304:
* '''[[Tomokazu Sugita]]'''
** Given the popularity of both shows on this wiki, [[
** What makes it more funny is that [[
** 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 ''[[
** 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 [[
* '''[[Noriaki Sugiyama]]'''
** [[
** 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]]''.
** [[
** 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.
** [[
*** [[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 "[[
** [[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
** 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
** and [[Monster (manga)|Dieter]] is Naruto.
** And Naruto is also [[Street Fighter|Rainbow Mika]].
Line 390:
* '''[[Fred Tatasciore]]'''
** Listen to the voice of [[
* '''J. Michael Tatum'''
** Let's see, he's been [[
*** 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]]
** 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]]'''
** [[
*** [[
** 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 [[
** 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
** 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 [[
** 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.

** And a [[Blood
* '''[[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). [[
** 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 [[
** 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]].

* '''[[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
** 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.

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!]]

** 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.

** 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|
** 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]]''.
** 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
** 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 [[
*** 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
** 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 (
** Also, it's creepy hearing James Woods in [[Hercules (
** It's hard to imagine [[Hercules (
** [[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
