MARK F-ING HAMIL! I discovered he was the Joker in Batman the Animated series/Arkham Asylum , the voice I still think personifies Joker best. Then I looked at the rest of his resume...

Guy's got range.

Terrence Stamp did the voice for mancar cameron on oblivion, which wasn't so much as shocking but when he, Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean are all in the same thing it is kind of cool.

I only found out the other day that Seth Green voices Joker in Mass Effect.

I feel like an idiot though because when you think about it it's obvious.

Steve Blum was an interesting suprise, after finding out that while being the voice of grunt in mass effect 2 he also did the voice of guilomon from digimon tamers...

and now I can't help of thinking about digimon when I see grunt in mass effect 2...

Oh and I like FiM so that just puts the icing on the cake, MORE TARA :D
heh, yeah, I had that revelation when I got into FiM as well; and now she's doing the voice of Harley Quin in Arkham City! Speaking of tara strong, I thought it was cool that her Batgirl voie was just her normal peaking voice, according to this interview I saw.

OT: Jennifer Hale is like..the god of voice actresses - everywhere, but unnoticed unless you go looking. Chick has got serious range, ya know.

I got a few, here are the ones I can think of so far:

1- While watching my brother play Tales of Symphonia for the first time, I couldn't help but think that Lloyd's voice sounded familiar... then it hit me: it's the same guy who voiced Robin in the Teen Titans cartoon!

2- I was eager for the Bleach cartoon to reach the States, especially to see who was playing the role of Ichigo, someone by the name of Johnny Yong Bosch. One morning, I happened to catch a rerun of Power Rangers on TV, and his name was in the credits. Cue the double-take.

3- Finally, apparently Eeyore is voiced by Peter Cullen, better known as the voice of Optimus Prime. Weird, huh?

EDIT: More revelations!

-I got into Freakazaoid after they stopped airing it, and quickly recognized the voice of Dexter Douglas (that is, Freakazaoid's hapless alter-ego) as one Danny Phantom. Go figure, huh?

-Also, I was surprised the learn that Steve Blum of all people voiced Guilmon in the English version of Digimon Tamers kinda different when compared to his usual roles...

-Ever watch the movie HOOK (Y'know, with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman? Turns out the kid who played him would later go on to voice characters like Jake Long and Prince Zuko... wow...

I had always held the opinion that Nolan North was a fairly bland, 1 dimensional voice actor. That is, until I found out that he played the corrupted cores in Portal 2. Seriously, Nolan fucking North gave us the Space Core. I now love him.

Tomokazu Sugita. The guy is a legend.

I find it funny that a lot of people mention people who have done English dubs on anime/characters when I only recognise them as their Japanese voice actors :D

A while ago, I replayed Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, one of my favorite games as a kid. When I got to this one level, one of the voices sounded very familiar, it was Spongebob Squarepants' voice. So I checked, and not only was Tom Kenny in that game, he was also Spyro the freaking Dragon!
He also dominated the majority my childhood.
Another one I found was that the voice actress of Spike from MLP:FIM was also the English voice of Near from Death Note 0.o

I just found out Ron Perlman did voice acting for Avatar: The Last Air Bender and did Slade in Teen Titans.

That guy is literally in everything animated.

The rules are, if Ron Perlman is in it, it's instantly awesome.

OT: Did you guys know Jin-Soo Kwon from lost is Johnny Gat?

Also Ron Perlman was Mr. Lancer on Danny Phantom, that's why that show was awesome.

In hindsight, I'd argue Steve Blum but then I realised a great deal of his voices sound very similar, I'd first encountered him in Dawn of War as Cyrus, thought nothing of it when I heard Killer Croc in Arkham Asylum and Otsdarva in Armored Core: For Answer.

Those ones genuinely surprised me.

If you're excited for Batman: Arkham City, then you'll be pleased to know that she is voicing Harley Quinn as well.

Playing Rage atm and I just spoke to a minor character who gives you access to some racing..

.. I swear it's Claudia Black (Farscape, Stargate, Mass Effect, Dragon Age).. but it's not on her IMDB.
