If there's one voice actor who is extremely pigeonholed, but is just so ''awesome'' at doing his pigeonholed job that it doesn't matter, this man is that voice actor. Norio Wakamoto was an anti-riot squad officer who saw action in the student protests in the 1960s/70s before he became a voice actor (we assume he just had to yell "HALT, CRIMINAL!" and [[Compelling Voice|they'd immediately stop]] [[Code Geass|while shouting "YES, YOUR MAJESTY!"]]), well known for his quality, [[Large Ham|grandiose]] voice as a villain. So if you want a menacing, great [[Big Bad]] (or any other villainous role), contact him. And his range of villain roles is also quite wide, from manipulating and scheming to [[The Berserker]] type. Whether it's of a high position or as an underling (as long as it's no [[Mook]]). Beware...they can become [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Ensemble Darkhorses]] or [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastards]] greater than the [[Big Bad]] himself.
