=== Notable Roles: ===
* Adam Park ([[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|2nd Black Ranger]]/[[Power Rangers ZEO|Green Zeo Ranger]]/[[Power Rangers Turbo|1st Green Turbo Ranger]]) in ''[[Power Rangers]]''
* [[One -Scene Wonder|Cameraman]] in ''[[Drop Dead Gorgeous (Film)|Drop Dead Gorgeous]]''. "Fuckin' beauty queens, blowin' chunks everywhere. I-I've never seen anything like it before, and I live in L.A."
* Vash the Stampede in ''[[Trigun (Anime)|Trigun]]'', his first venture in voice acting.
* Ichigo Kurosaki and [[Super -Powered Evil Side|Hollow Ichigo]] in ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]''
* Renton Thurston in ''[[Eureka Seven (Anime)|Eureka Seven]]''
* Lelouch Lamperouge in ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]''
Line 70:
 
=== [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|It's Tropin' Time!]] ===
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Surprisingly, despite him constantly being typecasted in hot blooded, hammy heroes, he is quite capable of voicing ''anti-heroes.'' such as Lelouch Lamperouge
** Johnny Yong Bosch stated in his [http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=74120855&blogId=204807209 Myspace blog] that anti-heroes is his personal preference.
* [[Bishonen]]: He's voiced quite a few of them. Vash, Itsuki, Lelouch, and Sasori are a few examples.
Line 76:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: [[Word of God]], he's [[No Koreans in Japan|half-Korean]] [http://www.rangermania.com/johnnyyongbosch.htm\].
* [[Dumb Is Good]]: If a Bosch-character is good, he's generally [[Idiot Hero|not very bright]]; if a Bosch character is smart, he's generally [[Manipulative Bastard|not very good]].
** Ichigo Kurosaki is an interesting aversion to this trope, because while he's got the [[Leeroy Jenkins]] thing down he's actually quite intelligent, both in school and in battle. This totally applies to Ichigo's [[Super -Powered Evil Side]], though.
* [[Full -Name Basis]]: A lot of people say his full name when talking about him. Even on this wiki.
** One exception was in the first few episodes of Power Rangers where he was introduced, when he was credited under John Bocsh.
* [[The Hero]]: His primary forte. As he once noted in an interview, it was his "perfect Hero Voice" that landed him [[Trigun|his first anime voice acting role]].
Line 88:
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: due to him being typecasted either into the [[Bishonen]] or [[Hot Blooded]] [[Large Ham|Hammy]] [[The Hero|heroes]]
** He has range if you get past [[Shonen Jump]] and [[Adult Swim]] roles. Notably Claus, [[Kid Hero|Renton]], [[Police Are Useless|Adachi]], [[Psychopathic Manchild|Claire]], [[The Philosopher|Itsuki]], and now [[Affably Evil|Izaya]].
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Since his vocal range is limited due to typecasting, his voice acting is ''easily'' the most recognizable by many fans, ''even when he is supposed to be playing against the type''.
** Subverted with the title character from ''[[Soul Eater]]'', ''he'' was misattributed to this character before it was later announced that the newcomer [[Micah Solusod]] is voicing Soul. <ref>* It also didn't help to note the fact that Johnny Yong Bosch worked with [[FU NimationFUNimation]] on several titles in the past. [[Justified Trope|Justified]], as he was raised in a town in [[Everything Is Big in Texas|Texas]] during his childhood years where it is located ''near Funimation's headquarters''</ref>
*** To hammer this example out, [[Micah Solusod]]'s performance on Lizst in ''[[Ookami-San]]'' sounds ''exactly'' like [[Johnny Yong Bosch]]'s performance as [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Itsuki]]. And to make this a [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] context, Micah [[Poor MansMan's Substitute|will be replacing Johnny Yong Bosch's role as Kazuki]] in the recent [[Fafner in The Azure Dead Aggressor|Fafner film adaption]] dub.
** Likewise with Pit in ''[[Kid Icarus]] Uprising'' (actually Antony Del Rio). This case is interesting because it persisted even after Johnny stated that he did not voice Pit.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: In addition to above mentioned roles, he has voiced a whiny [[Butt Monkey]], Sakura Kusakabe, from Dokuro-chan.
** And as Rossiu in ''[[Gurren Lagann]]''. Since he usually plays [[Hot Blooded]] [[Large Ham|Large Hams]], you'd think he'd be right at home in a series where more than half the cast fits that description...but he voices one who doesn't.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Usually plays either [[The Lancer|alongside]] or [[The Rival|opposite]] to [[Yuri Lowenthal]].
** Also worked with [[Crispin Freeman (Creator)|Crispin Freeman]] in many of the voice acting work, either as [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|a]] [[WolfsWolf's Rain (Manga)|steadfast]] [[Witch Hunter Robin (Anime)|ally]] ([[Eureka Seven (Anime)|or]] [[Last Exile (Anime)|understudy]]) or [[Durarara (Light Novel)|overly]] [[Code Geass|smug]] rival.
*** As well as [[Gods Eater Burst|inferior.]]
** His characters also tend to get paired with those played by either [[Stephanie Sheh (Creator)|Stephanie Sheh]] or [[Laura Bailey]], the former especially so.
