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

[mastermerrick]

Wes Johnson was the voice actor for not only this guy:

But also this guy:

As well as this guy!:

He has also voiced all of the Imperial NPC's in Morrowind and Super Mutants in Fallout 3.

Don't forget the Gray Fox and the Arena Announcer.

My main one is with whoever voices the librarian in the College of Winterhold in Skyrim. I was like "WOAH! That's the same voice actor as the colonel from that Defender remake on the PS2!" Ah, lesser-known games are always the most nostalgic. T'was fun shooting over-size bugs in spaceships with lazers and missiles.

Also, any time Johnny Yong Bosch does anything. First heard him as Lelouch in Code Geass, then both Yu and Adachi in Persona 4 and I was like WOAH. 'Specially since Code Geass is my favorite anime and Persona 4 is my favorite JRPG. :3

he also did Vash the stampede from trigun, Lelouch Laparouge from both seasons of Code Geass, Rossiu from Gurren Lagann, Itsuki from The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, both Ichigo from Bleach, 5 different Naruto characters, Lujon from Fullmetal Alchemist, Bumblebee from Transformers: War For Cybertron, Nero from Devil May Cry 4, and Adam from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

Recent one for me was Rosalind Lutece from Bioshock Infinite, Jennifer Hale. Also know as Ms. Commander Shepard.

I knew I recognized her, just couldn't put my finger on it till I read her name.

Spoiler: shock inFAINT spoilahz

Seems Hale has a knack for voicing gender-swapped versions of characters.

Jim Cummings.

The guy makes his living off doing voices, but he's been the voice of Darkwing Duck, Tigger, Winnie the Pooh, and some of the 'Madagascar' Penguins.

No big deal, except he's also been the voice of Minsc from "Baldur's Gate 2", as well as The Terror Mask (yes, that horribly foul-mouthed thing) in Splatterhouse. I take Minsc even less seriously now.

 

[cryogeist]

Any voice actor in MLP: FiM that did voice acting for Dawn of War
really took me off guard...especially since the Tau commander was voiced by the same guy that did snips/snails (forgot)

 

[Mr C]

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.

And for some reason, the Mass Effect Codex narration always bored me.

The bloke has a great voice for the job, but I was always put off by the fact I'm reading far faster than he was speaking. I wished they allowed you to listen to codex entries whilst running around in the main game, alas...

I always knew Nolan North was good at voice acting, but when I found out he voiced these both:

As opposed to...

It was a shock.

For anyone who really likes voice actors, I'd advice listening to "Allworknoplay" podcast hosted by Liam O'Brien (voice of Akihiko Sanada from Persona) and Sam Riegel (voice of Teddie). Granted, there are only 4 episodes available and they go for less than an hour each, but they are quite entertaining. In episode 3 they play recording of their DnD game session with a bunch of other VAs, including Laura Bailey, and episode 4 is recorded in Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's (voice of Naoto) hot tub.

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Keith David in They Live(yes, it's a movie, but I was genuinely surprised) and something else that I completely forgot.

That's about it.

 

[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.

 

[DarthSka]

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)

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0133566/?ref_=tt_cl_t4

voiced her:

...and her:

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

 

[Tanis]

Roberta from Black Lagoon:

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

Yeah...

 

[teebeeohh]

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

 

[MissP]

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:

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.
