Oh my god, it's...! (Voice Acting)

[supermariner]

When playing the Force unleashed i was like "Darth Vader doesn't quite sound like the James Earl Jones one but he does sound like .... CHAD VADER!"

Then after the tiniest bit of internet research i discovered that George Lucas liked the internet spoof shows voice acting so much that they got Matt Sloan to actually become the voice of the actual Vader. Made my day

 

[Skrag The Summoner]

Everyone knows this by now and someone might have said it. Fable 3 had two of my most favorite comedians of all time voicing two of the best characters in the game.
John Cleese = Jasper

Spoiler

Stephen fry = Reaver

Halo ODST was made entirely of cast members from Firefly and Battlestar Galactica.

This. And that's why I can never hate that game.

Also Phil La Marr voices hermes in Futurama :3 I just needed to add that

No offence but dude look down two posts. We knew that.

 

[Vault101]

Anderson from Mass effect is in Requiem for a dream. It was awesome when I recognized him, but it seems he's done quite a few cool characters.
.

you mean the guy that gets jennifer conoly to...service him? I dont think thats him

Oh, it's definitely him. I have no doubts about it. It's also funny how you knew who I meant, even though I didn't say it.

he's the only black guy with ..a voice like his I remember from that movie

 

[EHKOS]

I still remember the first time this happened to me.

"Dr. Neo Cortex is Mr. Krabs!?"

Since then I've always tried to pick out voice actors.

No way! I never knew that! Although I did notice he did Baron Praxis.

OT: Steve Blum did this to me many times.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

It's happened several times, and it was at the point where i recognized the voice of a singer during the opening credits that i realized i might watch a bit too much anime 'cause honestly... that's the only way i get japanese music.

Apart from that there's been several cases of recognizing character voices because some of these voice actors pop up in just about every anime you watch, either as a main or supporting character.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Let me ruin it for you even more The voice of Ollie Williams (Phil La Marr) also voices Vamp in MGS2 and MGS4 - although admittedly the voices are rather different. But it did lead somebody to make this video.

Oh yeah, he also dose Hermes Conrad from Futurama.

And the eponymous character from 'Samurai Jack'. And Osmosis Jones in the spin-off TV series. And Jamie-O from Hey Arnold. And Jazz from Transformers Animated. And Bolbi Stragnofsky from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron. And Hector Con Carne and Dracula in the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

... What? I like his voice acting.

And Chris Jacobs from the greatest video game ever made; Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.[footnote]Totally not a fanboy...[/footnote]

Ah crap sorry I must have missed that post.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Did any of you know the Nassana Dantius in Mass Effect 1 and 2 also voices Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender?

The voice actor also voices SOOOOOOOOOO many other character's from other shows.

For example, Kimiko from Xiaolin Showdown, Mandy from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and from plenty of videogames too.

(Rarity = Naomi. Mr Cake = Ryuk. Singing Pinkie = Misa. Spike = Near). And L's voice actor was in Battlestar Gallactica! Blew my knickers off when I realised!

Some of you guys might be interested in this podcast, Talking Toons With Rob Paulsen [http://robpaulsenlive.com/category/podcasts/], because I'm looking over his guest list and... wow. Maurice Lamarche, Billy West, Jennifer Hale, Tara Strong, Grey DeLisle, Mark Hamill.... It's like a who's-who of awesome voice actors. I've listened to three so far and they're pretty good!

 

[Someone Depressing]

Yosuke Hanamura from P4 also does the protagonist from Persona 3, several characters from Fallout 3 and NV, the male protagonist from NV, and a role in Resident Evil: Chronicles Or Whatever Why Can't This Worthless Series Just Fucking End, Whyyyy????

I remember him being in tons of other stuff, too.

 

[Zen Toombs]

Spoiler: Ahh yeah. These three being voiced by the same guy . . .

Now I'm gonna have to play Halo again.

OT: When I played Mass Effect 2, I found Admiral Xen to be interesting - insane, but interesting nonetheless. I later heard from some website or other [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage] that Xen was voiced by Morrigan of Dragon Age: Origins.

Cue me finally buying Dragon Age.

Cue tears of joy.

 

[0z0wen]

I didn't realise until someone pointed it out but Mark Hamill voiced the Joker in Arkham Asylum. After going back and listening to it, I still couldn't decide whether it was or not.
