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

[JonSherwell]

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.

Gravity Falls, best new cartoon around. My girlfriend's family and I sit around and watch it ad nauseum.

OT: I know this is really obvious and all, but when I found out the Liam Neeson was Qui-Gon Jin and Dad from Fallout 3, as well as, you know.. Liam Neeson... I got really excited.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

OT: Steven Blum.

pick any of his voice acting works.


I dare you to make a voice connection between them.

Spike Spegal and Mugen... that's about it though.

The most surprising one in recent memory is that Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews and Ron Stoppable, was also the voice of Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond. The first are such bundles of joy that knowing he also played someone on the opposite end of the happy spectrum just blew my mind.

Maria Canals-Barrera

The mom from Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place" (the show that spawned Selina Gomez)

voiced her:

...and her:

...which makes her officially awesome in my book.

Roberta from Black Lagoon:

Is voice by the same person who does Rarity from MLP:FiM:

Yeah...

i never noticed how hearing familiar voices can spoil things but

Spoiler: minor bioshock infinite spoilers and don't spoil me i am only halfway through

i knew immediately that the people in boat at the very beginning were not random minor characters because femshep

Laura Baily's been brought up several times already, but after I found out she was both Maka in Soul Eater and Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist, I almost had a brain meltdown. Those characters couldn't possibly sound more different.

 

[Kathinka]

the u.s. sniper in company of heroes is ...garrus!

maybe thats why he always takes forever to shoot..always in the middle of some calibrations..

 

[nymz]

The Happy Trails caravan master in New Vegas Honest Hearts is Jacob's dad in Mass Effect 2.

Oh, and he's also Lee Everett in The Walking Dead.

He also did Rodin from Bayonetta. Oh, and of course Vol'jin.

Then you're going to want to grab a helmet to hold your liquified gray-matter:

In addition to voicing her:

...she also does:

[Patrick Buck]

I don't know the actor's name, but I was surprised to see the voice actor of "Tank" Dempsey from Call of duty zombies also voices a few mooks from Hitman Absolution and a few from Batman Arkham City.

 

[Subscriptism]

Fem Shep is the same actress as the female character whose name I can't remember in the Cowboy Bebop movie.

Garrus and Grunt from mass effect also have been in tons of other things.

 

[theguitarhero6]

Tara Strong, but you may also know her as Timmy Turner, Bubbles, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Clarra and Toot, young Ben Tenneson, Truffles, Kiera from Jak, teenaged Dil Pickles, Harley Quin, Juliet form Lollipop Chainsaw, Raven, Mushi Sanban, and countless other roles.

 

[RaeveSpam]

I was terrified when I heard Tricia Helfer voice as EDI in Mass Effect 2, I only knew her as Caprica Six in Battlestar Galactica. And then she went on and voiced Kerrigan in StarCraft II (both WoL and HotS) aswell!

 

[TheSchaef]

I had no idea John Dimaggio voiced both Marcus Fenix and Bender.

yea, watch adventure time after playing some Gears and watching some Futurama.

What really got me was that he was Joker in Under the Red Hood. It just made me miss Hamill all the more.

I'm surprised this thread got to page 6 with no mention of Cam Clarke:
- Max Sterling on Robotech
- Leonardo (and Rock Steady) on Ninja Turtles
- Tetsuo in the original English dub of Akira
- Die Fledermaus on The Tick
- Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid
- Yasochika in Bleach
- He-Man in the newer cartoon series
- Aoi in Naruto
- Kartos Aurion in Tales of Symphonia

and a hundred others that I'm leaving out.

Frank Welker is my favorite voice actor, mainly cause of his versatility

Jennifer Hale does occasionally voice random background characters though (Gears of War 3, for example) so it's not necessarily a guarantee.

 

[Godhead]

Tom Kenny is the voice actor for Spongebob, and yet he also does this guy.

Spoiler

My head hurts.

But she is not a random background character, even if she just showed up in the first scene she would be a minor character, not random civilian#42.
