Line 4:
David Matranga is an American voice actor who works for (formerly) [[ADV Films]] and [[Seraphim Digital Studios]]. Not to be confused for [[Name's the Same|Dave Matranga]], who is a baseball player. He's ''not'' a photographer. That's David '''N.''' Matranga. Before you say [[Overly Long Gag|anything]], he is not related to musician Jonah Matranga. David is just David.
David isn't that new to voice acting. He just isn't as well-known. That's unfortunate, considering that he's talented. However, he also does film and theatre work.
Often casted alongside with [[Luci Christian]], particularly if the ADR director's name happens to be Steven Foster.
Line 10:
Somewhat of a successor to [[Chris Patton]] since David is often cast as young [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] men and teenagers with a [[Troubled but Cute|troubled past]].
Look out! There's a [http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Matranga-Actor/114634275272526 Facebook] page behind you! Does anyone know that [[Sorcerous Stabber Orphen|Sword of Light spell?]]

=== Tropes about his roles and David himself: ===
* [[As Himself]] / [[Adam Westing]]: In ADV's Super Milk [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHmb7hlDjHM dub.] He portrays an aggressive and immature version of himself. In [[Real Life|reality,]] he seems to be a humble and very [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|sweet]] man. During an interview for a [[Highschool of the Dead]] cable special, he said that in a zombie apocalypse he, "probably wouldn't be the hero." See [[Crowning Moment of Funny|above]] for more about that interview.
* [[Bishonen]]: Most of his more prominent roles.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: He [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p_8ISJqwt8 plays] a slightly loopy [[Cool Teacher|history teacher]] in Stages Repertory Theatre's [[Abridged Series|production]] of The Complete History of America (Abridged).
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL_06ojBnfQ In] ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit|Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'' and ''[[As the World Turns]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWdRKbpuMrU (about 17 minutes in)]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: As of 4/20/11, David is 32. To [[Theres No Such Thing As Notability|quote]] a comment on his Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/david.matranga profile]:
{{quote|"David! We're supposed to get older when we get older, not look exactly the same!"}}
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: David's characters are often [[Troubled but Cute]] young men and teenagers that are [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] with [[Badass Baritone|deeper voices.]] Super Milk [[Inverted Trope|inverts]] this, and it's scary if you're familiar with his most of his other work. [[Hell Is That Noise|Robodog]] has a raspy, metallic screech. Ario sounds like a stereotypical baby. Given his [[Parental Neglect|situation]], you can't really blame him for [[The Woobie|crying]] all the time.
