''Wait... they're voiced by the same person?!''

[Hazy992]

You know Gohan and Android 18? Well in DBZ Kai they're voiced by Coleen Clinkenbeard, who's also the voice of Lilith and Patricia Tannis in Borderlands. When I found out I was like 'holy shit!' but now I can't unhear it

Speaking of Borderlands, Handsome Jack is voiced by Dameon Clarke. Wanna know who else he voices?

Spoiler

Yup.

So has there ever been an instance like that for you, where it makes you do a double-take?

 

[Andy Shandy]

Yes, another thread where I get to inform everyone that Duke Nukem has the same voice actor as

Spoiler: This ************

who I am just noticing has abnormally human hands. Especially for a giant fucking purple cat

Also I had no idea up until relatively recently (a few months ago) that not only does Billy West voice Fry, he also voices Dr Zoidberg, Professor Farnsworth and Zapp Brannigan as well.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

I had no idea John Dimaggio voiced both Marcus Fenix and Bender.
I still couldn't hear it even after someone told me.
Only when Marcus really yells do I start to hear it.

Wait really? Cool

Billy West is also the voice of Ren & Stimpy which is awesome

WAT

I'm in love with Moira Brown from Fallout 3, so I just idly checked IMBD to see who voiced her. Turns out the person that voiced her in the game also voiced (in the same game) Catherine, Red, Suzy Mack, Sydney, Anna Holt, Crimson, Fantasia, Nova, Cherry, Belle Bonny, Scribe Yearling and loads of other radiant characters such as guards and residents. Holy hell, she must have had a sore throat after that.

Yeah, I found out, and then I'm sitting there watching it and there's just plenty of scenes where he'll just have been talking to himself for big parts of it XD

Yuuuuuuuuuuup. XD

 

[Lynx]

I feel like that about Tara Strong, who's basically done everything. Like when I realized Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls was the same voice as Rikku in FFX.

Speaking of FFX, I once saw an ep of House MD and thought "That girl sounds exactly like Yuna." And wouldn't ya know, it was Hedy Burress. Bizarre moment.

 

[DoPo]

Spoiler: Smiling Jack, too

Grey DeLisle did a TON of voices, too. She has also been in Bloodlines as Therese/Jeanette but aside from those, Azula from Avatar: the Last Airbender, Kimiko in Xiolin Showdown, Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Emily Elizabth in Clifford the Big Red Dog and more. It's also hard to distinguish her.

And for some reason, the Mass Effect Codex narration always bored me. Even though it's narrated by

Spoiler: Gary Golden

And even though Simon Templeman's voice is easy to spot...probably, especially because of it, it's a bit disturbing to hear him say this


For the people who don't get the reference, here is Kain on the matter (just to note the Wheel of fate is the cycle of rebirth)

"Shut the fuck up, Donny!"

"Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."

"This is what happens, Larry! This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!"

just ponder that. Both John Goodman.

 

[Elfgore]

I never knew the guy who talks for Brock in Pokemon and Kabia in Yugioh have the same voice actor. My friend told me and I may have died for a short time.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Grazel/Setti in White Knight Chronicles (II) and Sundowner in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance are both voiced by Crispin Freeman. Came as a surprise to me, because Grazel and Sundowner don't sound anything alike. I still can't hear it.

 

[EHKOS]

Everytime I hear Steve Blum I fangasm a little. I recently got Rogue Galaxy and I was like AHA!

Also the same dude who voices the Prince in Prince of Persia voices Sly's fourth ancestor.

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

I remember some character, in some game, sounding just like Julius from Saint's Row 1. I think I'm thinking of the Mass Effect series, but I'm not sure.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Yuri Lowenthal also voices Luke fon Fabre and Asch the Bloody in Tales of the Abyss.

 

[Rinshan Kaihou]

OP you are implying you watch dubs, versus subs. SHUN. SHUN. Subs > Dubs




I've had the same reaction though with anime. For example

Misaka Mikoto from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun is also Negi Springfield from Negima!? who is ALSO Jenny Dolittle from Moretsu pirates.

Mio Akiyama from K-on is ALSO Lynn from Moretsu pirates, AND Risa from Highschool DXD


Yui Hirasawa from K-on is ALSO Uiharu from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, AND Chitose from Yuru yuri.


The amazement never ceases.

 

[piinyouri]

All.
The.
Time.

Being in a relationship with an aspiring voice actor and VA connoisseur, I get "Oh that's so-and-so's name" literally anytime we watch anime or play games.

Yuri Lowenthal voices fucking EVERYBODY.

But yeah, I tend to take notice of voice actors and the such, so if there's a voice actor in this list doing a role, chances are I can tell it's them within about a line.

Spoiler: My list

Laura Bailey
Yuri Lowenthal
Johnny Yong Bosc
Robin Atkin Downes
Nolan North
Jennifer Hale
Steve Blum
Grey DeLise (though I sometimes get her somewhat confused with someone else that I can't quite think of now)
Vic Mignogna (though less so)

And a bunch of others I can't think of right now but come to mind when I hear them.
And some others that I can't remember right now.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I feel like that about Tara Strong, who's basically done everything. Like when I realized Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls was the same voice as Rikku in FFX.

Not to mention being the voice of Raven in "Teen Titans", Twilight Sparkle and Harley Quinn in "Arkham City" and "Injustice: Gods Among Us". Seriously, Tara Strong has ridiculous range.

On topic, the fact that Fluttershy/Pinkie Pie (Andrea Libman) and Rainbow Dash/Applejack (Ashleigh Ball) each share a voice actress in "MLP: Friendship is Magic". Seriously, they sound very little alike.

 

[Ljs1121]

Not a very well known example, but it still amazes me that the same person, Alex Hirsch, voices:

Spoiler: This guy

Even the fact that he can consistently voice Stan throughout a whole episode is pretty impressive. My throat hurts just thinking about doing that voice.

Spoiler: This amiable sidekick

Spoiler: And this crazy old man

Sorry, couldn't find a good video clip

All on the same show that he created and currently serves as head writer on.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Kupo!

That, he does.

Spoiler: List of VAs I can *normally* pick out near instantly.

Yuri Lowenthal
Troy Baker
Liam O'Brien(couldn't immediately tell he voiced Dist the Rose)
Laura Bailey
Johnny Yong Bosch

Yes, it is a comparatively smaller list. :{ But they're also some of my favorites. I was also surprised to find out that Jennifer Hale is the voice behind Sheena Fujibayashi in Tales of Symphonia(I have a very difficult time picking out specific female VAs).
