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

[Fogold]

When I found out that Gordon Freeman was voiced by the same guy as Gromit from "Wallace and Gromit", I freaked.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

I still remember the first time this happened to me.

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

And Kurrgan from Highlander

 

[Henkie36]

When I found out that Frank Tenpenny from San Andreas was voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. He always sound familliar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Then I watched Snakes on a Plane, and the first thing that popped into mind upon seeing Tenpenny again was: ''I have had it with these motherf*king gangsters in my motherf*cking hood!''

 

[Leemaster777]

I actually had a moment like that the other day.

In The Avengers, think to that secret council that Nick Fury talks to several times in the movie. I'll bet that the lead guy sounds familiar, doesn't he? As I watched The Avengers a second time, it hit me where I had heard him before:


That's right, he was Gorilla Grodd in Justice League.

 

[Gabanuka]

Learning that the seductive Lust from Full Metal Alchemist shares the same VA as the eponymous character in Shin-chan gave me the need to lie down for a while.

Also, I fell in love with Grey DeLisle for how she played Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and later went back and recognized her as Frankie in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Vicky from Fairly Oddparents, and Mandy from The Grim Adventures.

How would you feel if there was a video of Grey DeLisle using her Azula voice as a sexy vampire?

 

[Squidbulb]

Fable 3, many times.

 

[jdogtwodolla]

Wait never mind I was wrong. Please disregard.

 

[Latenz1134]

Play New Vegas, listen to Mr. House. Know who it is?

Spoiler

I helped Mr. House for the sole fact he was Odo, I figured he could shift the shape of the fortunes of people living in the area.

 

[Irridium]

Hey this Adventure Time show is pretty great. Why does that dog sound familiar though?

Wait... HOLY SHIT IT'S BENDER! Probably a bit obvious but it surprised me.

Also, Steve Blum. Dude's in, like, everything.

 

[Headsprouter]

TOM KENNY VOICES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

Spyro games have him. Same with everything else.

 

[Raven's Nest]

If anyone has played Mass Effect then sat and watched Requiem For A Dream, you'll know just how awkward it is to talk to Captain Anderson again...

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

*Snip*

Even better is:

Spoiler: Brace for it...

(Seriously, they sound exactly the same)

Also, Jill Tracy from Scrubs is...

Spoiler: Another surprising one

Nika Futterman is the voice for:
- VV from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
- The computer voice from the rocket car in Psychonauts (also apparently Doogen Boole?)
- Silhouette in Destroy All Humans
- Catwoman in a handful of more recent things including Batman The Brave And The Bold

Grey DeLisle has of course, been in everything.
- The Voerman sisters in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
- Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender
- Catwoman in Arkham City (durr)
- Vicky in Fairly Odd Parents
- The replacement Salarian councillor in ME3
- Every female DC character ever at some point...
- Ahh, bugger it, this list will be too long

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

I was pleasantly surprised upon my dip back into Lost Odyssey to find Seth was voiced by Twilight Sparkle.

Oh yeah, didn't remember her voice in the game but sure enough thats it.

 

[hydroblitz]

I was playing saints row 3, decided to make a female character. One of the voices sounded familiar. I realized (being the anime geek that I am) that it was Laura Baily (voice of Lust in fullmetal alchemist and Maka in soul eater)

 

[Ironman126]

Also I gotta mention I was amazed that the voice actress for Ashley Williams in Mass Effect is also the voice of Oracle in the Batman Arkham games.

She's also one of the voice options for the female protagonist in Saints Row 2. Oddly enough, the only one that I didn't want to brain after listening to for three seconds.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Spoiler

My mind was fairly blown.

Also discovering that the guy that voiced Jack Marston atrociously is starring in the new freddiew webseries VGHS and did a pretty good job in the first episode.

 

[Eddie the head]

I don't recognize that many voice actors, but I absolutely freaked when I first played Mass Effect 2 (PS3 owner, so I missed out on the first one), and realized that Joker was voiced by Seth Green.

Yeah that was the first one I noticed form that game. You can kind of tell Joker was made in his likeness.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

For me it mostly goes:

"Fuck, it's Yuri Lowenthal again."

It's "Johnny Yong Bosch again" for me. But he did the protagonist and antagonist in Persona 4 so I'll let him slide for now.

OT: I beat Disgaea 3 this weekend, and I had a whole slew of voices I recognized.

Mao - Vic Mignogna
Geoffrey - Dave Wittenberg
Raspberyl - Laura Bailey
Mr. Champloo - Nolan North (Say what you wish about the man, but he did a great job as the wise home ec. teacher.)
Almaz - (Again) Johnny Yong Bosch

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Dee Bradley Baker (Claus the fish) does lots of batman enemies too, but for some reason he does them all in the exact same German voice as Claus (and each other), even though hes from Indiana and none of the characters are German either. Kinda weird.

 

[Dr. Paine]

I am still quite proud of recognizing that Marina Sirtis played Matriarch Benezia in Mass Effect, after only a couple episodes of TNG and it being months since I played the first Mass Effect game.

Almost makes up for my inability to recognize Seth Green in the same game x.x And of course, Keith David was immediately recognizable. My dad had one of these moments during Mass Effect 3, when talking with Admiral Hakett. At first, he thought Hakett was Peter Cullen, but an IMDB search showed it was Lance Henriksen- better known (to my dad) as Bishop from the Aliens franchise.

It was also quite funny to learn Dee Bradley Barker (Klaus from American Dad, about every animal in Avatar: The Last Airbender, among other parts) did Atlas and P-Body in Portal 2.
