Line 157:
*** And voices Sig in the same game.
*** Elsewhere in the series he provides the voices of G.T. Blitz and Duke Skyheed.
** His black guy roles are pretty diverse as well, including the [[Futurama|Jamaican]], the [[Justice League (animation)|deep-voiced black guy]], the [[Static Shock|young, squeaky voiced high-schooler]] and... uh... [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Dracula]], a very old, black Dracula.
** He voices quite a few animal characters in ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey|My Gym Partners a Monkey]]''.
** And now he's voiced a Cajun: one [[Western Animation/Wolverine And The X Men|Remy Lebeau]]
Line 235:
*** You're still forgetting Rob Lucci from One Piece, that crazy anime clerk from Lucky Star, and even freaking Viewtiful Joe!
* You'd think [[Sanae Kobayashi]] is pigeonholed as either Tsunderes (Akira from ''[[Mai-HiME]]'') or boys (the ''other'' Akira, from ''[[Hikaru no Go]]'')... Go and say the same when you hear her as [[Naive Everygirl]] Kumi Mashiba from ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'', the [[Yandere]] Lucy/[[The Cutie|Cutie Nyu]] in ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', or the titular [[Action Girl]] from ''[[Madlax]]''.
* [[Chiwa Saitou]] has, as just an example, voiced a [[Genki Girl|Genki]] [[Action Girl]], a perpetually angry member of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], and a villainous [[Smug Snake]], all in the [[Talking to Himself|same]] [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|show]].
* Daisuke Namikawa is one of the voice actors pegged down in several roles that could be very much grate your skulls, playing the [[The Scrappy|irritating]] [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Katz Kobayashi]], the [[Ax Crazy|rough and wild]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Michael Trinity]], the [[Bratty Half-Pint|super loud mouthed]] [[Sengoku Basara|Miyamoto Musashi]] or. However, he also had his share of straight, goody-two-shoes heroes such as the main character of ''[[Persona 4]]'', [[Odin Sphere|Cornelius]] or the remake voice of [[Star Ocean|Claude Kenni]]. Then, you've got the [[The Stoic|melancholic]], [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative]] [[Beta Baddie]] [[Bleach|Ulquiorra Sciffer]] or the [[Manipulative Bastard|ultra-manipulative]] [[Big Bad]] Toutaku from ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'' amongst his portfolio. Then you'll never look at him the same again.
** He also does dubs of lots of famous actors like Brad Pitt, Anakin Skywalker, Elijah Wood...
Line 245:
* Try pigeonholing [[Nobutoshi Canna]]. This man has voiced [[Badass]]es in many flavors, from laid back bad asses ([[GetBackers|Midou Ban]], [[Fate/stay night|Lancer]]), scary bad asses ([[Berserk|Guts]], [[Super Robot Wars|Axel Almer (not the silly type)]], [[Dynasty Warriors|Cao Pi]]) or goof off bad asses ([[Super Robot Wars|Silly Axel]], [[Fushigi Yuugi|Tasuki]]). If that's not enough, he also has two [[Bruce Lee Clone]] roles on his resume ([[Soul Series|Maxi]], [[Shaman King|Lee Pai Long]]), or someone who sounds like a clown ([[Bleach|Nnoitra Gilga]]). And, oh, you want to know who's behind the voice who yells [[Macross 7|"LISTEN TO MY SOOOOONGGGG!!!"]]? Yeah. Him too.
** He's also pulled off the sensitive young Nowaki in ''[[Junjou Romantica]]'', a startling contrast with... well... pretty much every character listed above. Canna's capable of bringing the smoove when called upon.
* [[Kaori Shimizu]] manages to completely avoid being pigeonholed. Even though most fans know her for her matured, deep voice of smart women such as [[School Rumble|Akira]], [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Signum]] and [[Super Robot Wars|Lamia]], she is also capable of voicing cutesy voices starting from the melancholic [[Serial Experiments Lain|Lain]], hysterical [[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|Lou]], and weird [[Yuri Fangirl]] [[Lucky Star|Hiyori]].
** To make things more obvious, she is also capable of switching her voices from the deep one to the cutesy one in a split second (in Lamia/Aschen's case). Pigeonhole ''that''!
** Not to mention convincingly voicing {{spoiler|the three different personalities of Lain}} in ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]''. And this is her ''debut role''.
Line 273:
** Among his other roles are [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law|Peter Potamus]], [[Danny Phantom|Vlad Plasmius]], [[Lilo and Stitch|Stitch]], and [[The Princess and the Frog|Ray the firefly]].
* Guilherme Briggs is usually a [[Large Ham]] - his favorite roles to play were [[Freakazoid]] and [[Angry Beavers|Dagget]] - but he also does serious roles such as Mewtwo from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]] and [[Watchmen (film)|Dr. Manhattan]].
** Let's not forget that he's [[Eek the Cat]], [[Barnyard|Otis the cow]], [[Camp Lazlo|Raj the elephant]], [[The Fairly Odd Parents|Cosmo]], [[Toy Story|Buzz Lightyear]], [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Eduardo]], [[Justice League (animation)|Super]][[Young Justice (animation)|man]], [[Megas XLR|Coop]] and many more.
* Alexandre Moreno is also usually over-the-top ([[Pinky and The Brain|Pinky]], [[Puss in Boots]], Chris Tucker) or comedic ([[Adam Sandler]] and [[Ben Stiller]]) but does the odd serious role ([[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|the first Red Ranger]], [[The Godfather|Michael Corleone]], Jude Law).
* Marco Antônio Costa is the voice actor for [[George Clooney]], [[Brad Pitt]], [[Johnny Depp]] and also... [[Tiny Toon Adventures|Plucky Duck]], [[Bonkers]] D. Bobcat, [[Jimmy Neutron|Hugh Neutron]], [[Toy Story|Rex]], [[Ren and Stimpy|Stimpy]] and [[Woody Woodpecker]]?
