Line 5:
** Hilariously, in the manga crossover oneshot ''Cross Epoch'', guess who Piccolo is teamed up with? Yep. Zoro.
** He also does the voice of The Conqueror from ''The Last Remnant'', who... also sounds a lot like Piccolo.
** Easy enough to believe he did ''[[ShinCrayon ChanShin-chan]]'''s narrator (which sounded a bit like [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Major Armstrong]] in episode 3), but then there's Yanro...
** And then [[Final Fantasy I|Garland]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''. Sounds like a more civilized Piccolo, but only a [[Chaotic Evil|leetle bit]] more civilized.
** Not quite as easy to notice, but if you listen hard enough you can hear little bits of some of his other voices in Rundas from ''[[Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.
Line 15:
** [[Married... with Children|Peg Bundy]] has provided the voices for [[Futurama|Leela]] and Spinelli's Mom on ''[[Recess]]'', among others.
 
* '''[[Chiwa Saito]]'''
** This happens with Chiwa Saito in ''[[Samurai 7]]'' with Komachi and in ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]'' with Rebecca Miyamoto.
** That voice however is similar with '''[[Rie Kugimiya]]''''s small-girl voice, so one may mistake that Rie Kugimiya's character is voiced by Chiwa Saito, and vice versa.
 
* '''Daisuke Sakaguchi'''
** Daisuke Sakaguchi, who also played [[Baccano!|Jacuzzi Splot]] and [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Usso Ewin]].
** He also does the voice of Shinpachi Shimura in ''[[Gintama]]'' and even LOOKS LIKE HIM.
 
* '''[[Takahiro Sakurai]]'''
** Heine Rammsteiner from the ''[[DOGS Bullets and Carnage]]'' OVA. Cloud Strife from ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children]]''. Let's see -- bothsee—both are light-haired [[Badass Abnormal]] anti-social and psychologically damaged [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]]s with [[Dark and Troubled Past|Dark and Troubled Pasts]]s who wear sleeveless dark longcoats. Hmmm....
** [[Tropers/Phoenix Fire|This troper]]'s brain kind of broke when she finally realized why [[Mononoke|the Medicine Seller]] sounded so familiar: He was ''[[D.Gray-man|Kanda]]''. Much-calmer-than-usual Kanda, but she was still struck by the resemblance.
** [[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Adult!Loki]]? Please meet [[Digimon Adventure|Motimon]], [[Digimon Adventure 02|Tentomon]], et al. All these years later and this Troper's mind is still blown.
 
Line 32:
 
* '''Nozomu Sasaki'''
** Nozomu Sasaki. His best known roles? [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Eriol Hiiragizawa]], [[Monster (manga)|Johan Liebert]], and '''[[Yu Yu Hakusho|YUSUKE URAMESHI!]]''' [[Tropers/Diclonius Lilium|This troper]]'s overactive imagination will render ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' and ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''... difficult for a while.
** Just think about hearing Yusuke's voice and then listening to [[Ronin Warriors|Shin Mouri]]. I still look funny at my dvds.
** And don't forget he was also the voice of [[Death Note|Mello]]! How's that for mind-screwy?
Line 43:
 
* '''[[Randy Savage]]'''
** OHHH YEAHH former [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] and [[WCW]] champion and Slim Jim spokesman. He's played Sasquatch in ''[[The Xs]]'', Space Ghost's granddad in ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'', Master Sergeant Emily Dickinson Jones in ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'', Rasslor in ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dial M For Monkey]]'', and Bonesaw the wrestler in the first [[Spider-Man]] film.
 
* '''Miyuki Sawashiro'''
** This troper freaked out when he realized his favorite [[Ar tonelico|Reyvateil]] had the same distinct [[Tsundere]] voice as [[Goshuushou Sama-sama Ninomiya Kun-kun|Houjo Reika]] {{spoiler|and the characters even have the same name}}. Also, quite notable are [[Rozen Maiden|Shinku]] (who is also very [[Tsundere]]) as well as [[Odin Sphere|Velvet]], who has the same voice, but much less Tsun.
** If this troper remembers correctly, she also voiced [[Shugo Chara|X-Chara Diamond]]. The normal Diamond, on the other hand, was voiced by Kanae Ito, the same voice actress as Amu-- OhAmu—Oh great, [[Talking to Himself]] again?!
** How could this troper forget Cammy from ''[[Street Fighter IV]]''?! Also, after hearing Carl's Japanese voice in ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', you could definitely hear Sawashiro Miyuki in his voice, despite the character being a [[Cute Shotaro Boy]].
** It was ''very'' difficult for [[Tropers/Feral Phoenix|This Troper]] not to laugh when she heard [[Yggdra Union|Milanor's]] voice coming out of [[Bakemonogatari|Kanbaru Suruga's]] mouth. They have the exact same pitch and occasionally the same speech patterns. One is an idiot thief. The other is a card-carrying yandere lesbian/BL fangirl/lolicon/possible troll.
** It seems that [[Phantom of Inferno|Cal Devens]] let her hair down a bit and became a [[Catherine|succubus in the process.]]
** Alternatively, she's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it [[Kagihime Monogatari|ice queen who is hellbent on torturing her former best friend after]] {{spoiler|she thought that she had been accidentally cremated in a coffin}}
Line 88:
 
* '''[[Patrick Seitz]]'''
** ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'': guest-starring Silverbolt [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|The Bloodedge]].
 
* '''[[Rod Serling]]'''
Line 121:
 
* '''Armin Shimerman'''
** Subverted in ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'': Until looking it up on [[IMDb]], this troper had absolutely no clue that Andrew Ryan was, in fact, [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Quark]].
** And in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal]]'' and [[Ratchet and Clank|the following games]], he plays (Captain) Quark's nemesis, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Dr. Nefarious!]]
** And he's also been both [[Jade Empire|an emperor and the abbot who got in his way.]]
Line 130:
 
* '''[[Kaori Shimizu]]'''
** On Kaori Shimizu, when this troper watches ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'', she plays as the Loli Lou Roux, which obviously had her using her loli-ish voice (as shown in ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]''). Except when she starts her battle [[Kiai]]... whereas this troper suddenly get vibes that either Signum or Lamia possessed her and gives her some hot blood elements (of course, at that time, [[The Hero]] Goh was also doing his own [[Kiai]], so it might not sound so obvious). Then again, that seiyuu also has [[Lucky Star|Hiyori Tamura]] in her resume, and she sounded NOTHING like any of these mentioned roles.
** This troper was also puzzled by the casting of Ms. Shimizu as Hiyori, even though she rose to the occasion admirably. A little research shows that she also played Motoko in ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' and Keiko in ''[[Genshiken]]'', which goes a long way towards explaining it.
** Then, taken on full throttle in ''Mugen no Frontier''. Aschen seems to be a normal [[Genki Girl]]... but when she uses a certain move in her Genki mode... This Troper is pretty sure Shimizu Kaori uses the exact SAME voice she uses for Hiyori.
Line 139:
 
* '''[[Ryoko Shiraishi]]'''
** When one plays the ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' [[Visual Novel]], it might be shocking to discover that Kappei is having a hard time performing menial tasks, knowing that he shares the same seiyuu with [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Hayate Ayasaki]].
** Apparently, Hayate can play [[Saki (manga)|mahjong]] too.
** Also, Hayate's a [[Mahou Sensei Negima|ninja]], [[Verbal Tic|de gozaru]].
Line 169:
 
* '''Yeardley Smith'''
** A [[Running Gag]] in the TV sitcom ''[[Herman's Head]]'' involved office worker Louise (played by Yeardley Smith) being told by someone she was talking to on the phone that she sounded exactly like "that [[The Simpsons (animation)|Lisa Simpson]] character".
 
* '''Dana Snyder'''
Line 183:
** In ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', the minor supervillain Professor Princess sounds like an even more grating version of Lil from ''[[Rugrats]]''.
** I don't care how she tries to disguise it, either with a Russian accent (as in ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'') or a British accent (as in ''[[The Replacements]]'' or ''Dial M For Monkey''), I know Kath Soucie's voice ANYWHERE. Okay, it is a little bit difficult to tell [[Rugrats|Phil and Lil]] from [[WITCH (animation)|Nerissa]]...
** Did you know that she was [[Space Jam|Lola Bunny?]] Or [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Mara Jade?]] [[Empire At War|Or the Rebel comms officer?]] [[Knights of the Old Republic|Or Lonna Vash?]] [[[[Dark Forces Saga]] Or Tavion? After her ''[[Star Wars]]'' roles I can never watch ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]] or ''[[Space Jam]]'' without thinking of the [[Witch with a Capital B|witches]] she played.
*** And she played another bitch in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' in the form of [[Manipulative Bastard|Marjolaine.]]
** She's both Jetta Hanover from ''[[Clifford the Big Red Dog]]'' and Daffodil from ''Clifford's Puppy Days''. In both case, she was a b...witch as well. Go figure.
Line 198:
** Believe it or not, she also voices the [[Lemmings]] in ''Lemmings 3D'' and ''The Adventures of Lomax''.
** [[The Voice|Sam's sister]] who would drop things on him in ''[[Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad]]''
** What about [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy Turner]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Tails]] or [[Pokémon (anime)|Ash Ketchum]]?
 
* '''[[Yoko Soumi]]'''
** After watching ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'' and the [[Hellsing]] [[OVA|OVAs]]s on the one day, this troper was rather disturbed to realise that Olivier Mira Armstrong was Zorin Blitz.
 
* '''Daniel Southworth'''
Line 214:
** I SWEAR he voiced Milanor in ''[[Yggdra Union]]''. The character may be more butch than Spike's standard fare, but just listen to him when he's yelling. I'd recognize that scream anywhere.
** Spike seems to be all about the mechas: first, Evangelion, then Code Geass R2, and now [[Steambot Chronicles]].
** Recently played a Saburo Togusa of ''[[Durarara!!]]'', a character that actually doesn't sound like Shinji for once. Oh, also [[Buso Renkin|Papillon]]
** What? No mention of [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Arakune]]??? You failed me Internet.
** He opted out of mechas and turned to cyborgs in the Battle Angel OVA of the Battle Angel Alita franchise. He played Yugo/Hugo, a maintenance worker for Dr. Ido.
 
Line 225:
** On ''[[Duckman]]'', Stein plays Duckman's psychiatrist neighbor, who just happens to be named...[[The Danza|Ben Stein]].
** On ''[[Animaniacs]]'', Stein tormented the Warners as Francis "Pip" Pumphandle, a man prone to telling very long, very dull anecdotes in a monotone voice while following the Warners everywhere, no matter where they tried to run.
** On ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', Stein voiced the incredibly dull and boring Pixies, a race of [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|Obstructive Bureaucrats]]s who wanted to make Fairy World as drab and lifeless as they were.
** Stein also counts as [[Hey, It's That Guy!]], having played an incredibly boring teacher/authority figure in productions such as ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', ''[[The Wonder Years]]'', and the [[The Movie|film adaptation]] of ''[[Richie Rich (comics)|Richie Rich]]'' that starred Macaulay Culkin. Stein is also the only person who could appear on ''[[Married... with Children]]'' dressed in a chicken suit and still be able to publish serious books and articles in financial and political journals.
** He plays an elf tour guide in the CG special ''Santa vs the Snowman'', giving the North Pole tour the excitement it merits.
 
Line 241:
 
* '''David Ogden Stiers'''
** When this troper got into ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' in her early teens, it didn't take her too long to figure out [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Maj.]] [[Dr. Jerk|Winchester]] (that is, David Ogden Stiers) was actually Cogsworth from Disney's ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' and Gov. Ratcliffe ([[Talking to Himself|and]] [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Wiggins]]) in ''[[Pocahontas]]''.
** Not only was he Ratcliffe and Cogsworth, but he was also [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|the Archdeacon]], [[Lilo and Stitch|Dr. Jumba]], and [[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Fenton Q. Harcourt]]
** He was also Kamaji in ''[[Spirited Away]]'' and Piccolo in ''[[Porco Rosso]]''.
Line 265:
 
* '''[[Tara Strong]]'''
** Tara Strong has done the voice of [[The Powerpuff Girls|Bubbles]], [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy Turner]], [[Teen Titans (animation)|Raven]], [[Kim Possible|um...Tara]] and [[Fillmore!|Ingrid Third]] among many, many others. And that's not even covering the video game characters she voiced such as [[Killer 7Killer7|KAEDE]] and [[Final Fantasy X|Rikku]].
** The similarities between the voices of [[Teen Titans (animation)|Raven]] and [[Tales of Symphonia|Presea Combatir]] are NOT a coincidence.
** That old lady Truffles from Chowder...sounds exactly like Toot Braunstein from ''[[Drawn Together]]'', which is one of the [[Dead Baby Comedy|least kid-friendly shows ever broadcasted]]. (Between Tara Strong and [[Cree Summer]], this trope is arguably the funniest part of ''[[Drawn Together]]'', considering the roles they're famous for...)
** Your contributor has noticed how similar [[All Grown Up!|grown-up Dil Pickles]] and [[Ben 10|Ben Tennyson]] sound.
** And like Kelly Sheridan listed above, she was also one of the 12 little girls in two straight lines in ''[[Madeline]]''.
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Twilight Sparkle]] is [[The Powerpuff Girls|Bubbles]]? Now I'm lost.
Line 277:
 
* '''[[Eric Stuart]]'''
** As the page quote lampshades, Eric Stuart has similar voices for [[Pokémon (anime)|Brock]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Kaiba]], as well as [[The Slayers|Gourry]], though he has a completely different style when he did [[Pokémon (anime)|James]], [[Yami no Matsuei|Wataki]], and [[Kirby: ofRight theBack Starsat Ya!|Meta Knight]]. Ironically, Yami's own VA is quite recognizable in [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] shows himself (especially when doing the Yami tone), [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|because he's voiced by]] '''DAN GREEN'''!
 
* '''Kiefer Sutherland'''
Line 304:
 
* '''[[Tomokazu Sugita]]'''
** Given the popularity of both shows on this wiki, [[Tropers/Rogue 7|This Troper]] is honestly astonished that no one else pointed out that [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|StrikerS! Chrono]] is also [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Kyon]] before he did.
** What makes it more funny is that [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Inspector Acous]] is also [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Itsuki]]. That scene where they are eating cake together never fails to make me laugh.
** And then there's that extremely obvious [[Shout-Out]] in ''[[Kanon]]'' 2006...
*** [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] had a fangasm when she watched the opening moments of ''[[ShuffleSHUFFLE!]]'' and heard Mikuru's voice come out of Kaede's mouth. Then she literally exploded when she heard Kyon's voice come out of Rin's.
** Also, [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Kyon]] is [[Gintama|Gintoki]]. Yup - a [[Deadpan Snarker]] [[Ordinary High School Student]] sharing the same voice acting as a [[Sweet Tooth]] Jump-loving [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]].
** And now we have [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni|Ronove]], whose relationship with Battler completely reverse the dynamic shared by Kyon and Koizumi.
** And he's got white hair, an...interesting sword and gets into comical fights over food with a weird being who has no concept of proper behavior. It's not [[Gintama|Gintoki]] it's [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Ragna the Blood Edge]]!
 
* '''[[Noriaki Sugiyama]]'''
** [[Tropers/Mini Nephthys|This troper]] had to go look up a clip of [[Riviera: The Promised Land|Hector's]] voice in Japanese, because she read that he had the same voice actor as [[Fate/stay night|Shirou]]. They sound very similar. They act absolutely ''nothing'' alike.
** He also voices [[Bleach|Uryu Ishida]] and [[Naruto|Sasuke Uchiha]], which sound remarkably alike.
*** This makes it funnier when you realize that he also voices [[Black Butler|William T. Spears]], a work-a-holic Shinigami in ''[[Black Butler]]''.
Line 323:
** Franny's younger self is voiced by Jessie Flower, who also voices Toph on ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Young Franny's threats of using her martial arts skills suddenly make more sense.
** She also does Louise in ''[[Slacker Cats]]'' and [[Joan of Arc]] in ''[[Clone High]]''.
** [[Tropers/Danny Lilithborne|This troper]] can't really hear Shego and not think "[[Mad TV|You know what? Nuh uh!]]".
** Don't forget Sullivan's role as Mira Nova on ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''... something that this troper had forgotten she'd even seen until watching ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]''.
** You'd think [[Western Animaton/The Secret Saturdays|Zack Saturday]] would behave better, knowing that Mom not only has a [[Flaming Sword]], but those [[Kim Possible|glowing green hands]]...not to mention that she was tough enough to take on [[The King of Queens|Jerry Stiller]] as a dog-walking client. Not the dog owner, but as someone to be walked.
Line 338:
** Believe it or not, she was [[Mortal Kombat|Kitana]] in the [[Animated Adaptation]] ''[[Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm|Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm]].''
** She was also Numbuh 5's sister, [[The Danza|also named Cree]]. It wasn't that noticeable, in that if you didn't know Cree Summers was Cree, you wouldn't think that they sounded alike.
** [[Tropers/Metool|This troper]] was playing ''Tony Hawk's American Wasteland'' when he made the connection between punk chick Mindy and energetic poodle Cleo from ''Clifford the Big Red Dog'' on the nearby TV where his younger brother was watching.
*** [[Clifford the Big Red Dog|Has she ever steered you wrong?]]
** All five of us who played ''[[Arc the Lad]]'''s sequel ''Twilight Of The Spirits'' would recognize that Cree Summer is also playing Tatjana. Odd considering Tatjana's blonde and caucasian.
Line 347:
 
* '''Tracy Sutton'''
** [[Willy Four Eyes|This]] ''[[Dynasty Warriors: Gundam]]''-playing troper won't be able to separate [[Mai-Otome|Tomoe Marguerite]] from [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Haman]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Karn]], even though the two characters couldn't be any further polar opposites (the former an [[Yandere (disambiguation)|unstable]] [[Smug Snake]], while the latter is a cool-yet-cruel [[Magnificent Bastard]]).
** I freaked out when I realized that she played Executor Selendis.
 
Line 362:
 
* '''[[Yukari Tamura]]'''
** While watching ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', one might mutter "[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|White Devil]]? Is that you?" upon hearing Mei speak. Both characters were voiced by Yukari Tamura. This troper wonders if the [[Fan Sub]]'s usage of "Speak of the [[Fan Nickname|devil]]" to refer to Mei in one scene was intentional or not.
** [[Subverted Trope]] in that Mei Sunohara sounds nothing at all like [[Kanon|Mai Kawasumi]].
** And then it goes around full circle when [[Yukari Tamura]] voices [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rika Furude]], whose regular cutesy voice sounds almost exactly like Mei, and her serious voice sounds almost exactly like Mai.
Line 368:
 
* '''Atsuko Tanaka'''
** [[This Troper]] doubts she'll ever be able to watch ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' again without expecting Echidna to start [[Beam Spam|Beam Spamming]]ming up the place and calling Creed "[[Fate/stay night|Souichirou-sama]]".
** When [[This Troper]] was playing ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'', he was literally thinking "[[Hey, It's That Voice!|Hey, I know that voice!]]" The Captain is [[Ghost in the Shell|the Major]]!"
 
Line 384:
** Watch the original version of ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' and listen to Takuya's voice. Then listen to [[Naruto]]'s Japanese voice and WHOA!
** Hey, [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Cure Rouge]] too.
*** And in the ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' dub, the two newcomers to the series playing main characters also had ties to ''Naruto'': Gaomon is Might Guy and Marcus is Iruka -- thatIruka—that is to say, Skip Stellrecht and Quinton Flynn respectively.
** and [[Monster (manga)|Dieter]] is Naruto.
** And Naruto is also [[Street Fighter|Rainbow Mika]].
Line 390:
 
* '''[[Fred Tatasciore]]'''
** Listen to the voice of [[StarcraftStarCraft II|James Raynor]]'s chief engineer/mechanic/new-unit-provider, Mr. Swann. If you've played ''[[Gears of War]]'', doesn't he sound familiar? That's right, [[Mr. Fixit|Damon]] [[Genius Bruiser|Baird]] is the [[Cool Starship|Hyperion]]'s engineer!
 
* '''J. Michael Tatum'''
** Let's see, he's been [[xxxHolic×××HOLiC|Doumei]], [[Ouran High School Host Club|Kyoya]], and [[Ghost Hunt|Lin]] opposite [[Todd Haberkorn|Watanuki!]] What else is he going to do?
*** The new [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Scar]]?
*** He's [[Axis Powers Hetalia|France]] as well.
Line 407:
 
* '''Jen Taylor'''
** [[Left 4 Dead|Zoey]], [[Halo|Cortana]], [[Super Mario Bros.|Toad AND Princess Peach]] -- she—she was even [[The Other Darrin]] for [[No One Lives Forever|Cate Archer]] -- Jen—Jen Taylor has played a number of iconic characters.
** Recently, she's the voice of the floor announcer for ''[[1 vs. 100|One Versus a Hundred]]''. Having Cortana ask you what the Daikatana ads said John Romero was going to make us was a priceless moment for me.
** Being an announcer isn't new for her. She was also the voice of Sunny Day in the ''[[Backyard Sports]]'' series before [[The Other Darrin|the entire voice cast changed]].
Line 414:
 
* '''[[Veronica Taylor]]'''
** [[Tropers/GracieThis Lizzie|Gracie LizzieTroper]] had no interest in ''[[Dinosaur King]]'' when she first heard it. Then she caught a few seconds of the dub and did a double take when she recognized Ash from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' 's voice in Max's body. That is, Veronica Taylor. The show now makes [[Tropers/GracieThis Lizzie|Gracie LizzieTroper]]] smile for the nostalgia kick (as Veronica Taylor and the rest of the ''Pokémon'' got a case of [[The Other Darrin]] forced on them and because [[Tropers/GracieThis Lizzie|Gracie LizzieTroper]]] hasn't watched ''Pokémon'' in ages).
*** [[Tropers/LoveThis Is Weird|Love Is WeirdTroper]]] had the same reaction, with "Wait a sec, isn't Ash a Pokemon Trainer?"
** Don't be surprised if you start playing ''[[Ape Escape]] 2'' and ask yourself, "Since when did Ash change careers to chasing monkeys?"
*** Maybe when Chimchar decided to play with him by [[Running Gag|stealing his hat]].
*** She was even joined by Misty (Rachel Lillis)!
** ''[[Seven of Seven]]''. The Nanas. [[Pokémon (anime)|One's Ash, another's May]]. Also doubles as a case of [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue]].
** Plays Amelia in ''[[The Slayers]]'' and Narue in ''The World of Narue''.
** No mention of Leo from ''[[Tekken]]''? I am disappoint.
** And Ash is [[Warrior Cats|a bunch of cats]] [[Omen of the Stars|too]]?
* '''Simon Templeman'''
** For his leads, Mr. Templeman is often typecast to play [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastards]]s, for which he usually employs the same voice. It's quite interesting to find out that [[Legacy of Kain|Kain]] not only has a feud going with [[Fantastic Four|Reed Richards]] and a stake in the ''[[Jade Empire]]'' arena, he is also making a bid for the throne of [[Dragon Age|Ferelden]].
** He became a quarian admiral in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' and also the [[Complete Monster|enormous bastard]], Dr. Gavin Archer.
 
Line 432:
* '''[[Kirk Thornton]]'''
** [[Two Words]]: Kirk. Thornton. This troper has just gotten into the ''[[Gungrave]]'' anime (where he is the dubbed voice of Brandon Heat/Beyond the Grave). All I could think was....[[Digital Devil Saga|Roland]]? [[Samurai Champloo|JIN]]??? Is that you?
** [[Naruto|Kisame Hoshigaki]]? Yeah, he's [[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo|Don Patch]]. When this troper mentioned this at GameFAQs, they couldn't believe it.
** This troper had a nerdgasm when he realized [[Tales of the Abyss|Jade Curtiss]] was [[Ace Combat|AWACS Thunderhead]].
** To add to the people from [[Ace Combat]], he also played Schnee 1 in ''Zero'' and the Sgt. McKnight in ''6''.
Line 449:
 
* '''Kali Troy (Kittie)'''
** [[WITCH (animation)|Taranee]] and [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Trixie]] really couldn't be any more different (except for a few [[Character Development|episodes in the second season]]), but it's pretty easy to tell that they're voiced by the same woman.
 
* '''Kathleen Turner'''
Line 455:
.
* '''Alanna Ubach'''
** [[Tropers/Grev|This troper]] was flipping past [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] one Saturday morning and came across a short-lived kids' show called ''[[Teamo Supremo]]'', then heard Rope Girl speak up and yelled, "That's [[Beakman's World|Josie]]!"
 
* '''[[Kana Ueda]]'''
Line 474:
 
* '''[[Cristina Valenzuela]]'''
** Okay, so this VA probably isn't as well known as other examples on this page, but [[Willy Four Eyes|I]] definitely got a deja-vu vibe while playing ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' and joked that [[Guns Akimbo|dual-gunslinger]] Noel Vermilion could pass for a slightly-grown-up [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha Takamachi]].
** She's branching out, having played [[Dynasty Warriors|Lian Shi]].
 
Line 490:
*** Kari also voices Shellsea and the unnamed snake (in [[The Stinger]]) on ''[[Fish Hooks]]''.
** Also played [[Last Exile|a mail carrier named Lavie]], [[Eureka Seven|a mecha pilot named Anemone]], and [[Witch Hunter Robin|a witch hunter named Robin]].
** And a [[Blood Plus+|Chiropteran Queen]].
 
* '''[[Norio Wakamoto]]'''
** If you watch any anime featuring a powerful, [[Magnificent Bastard]]-style villain, or [[Ax Crazy]] maniac bad guy, chances are quite high that they will be voiced by a certain Norio Wakamoto. He has voiced many villains in his time, ranging from Cell of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' to M. Bison of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' fame, Black Shadow in the ''[[F-Zero]]'' anime, Emperor Charles Di Britannia from ''[[Code Geass]]'' and Igniz, the final boss of ''[[The King of Fighters|King Of Fighters 2001]]'' (and at one point, Rugal). [[Tropers/Mighty Kombat|this troper]] was surprised to face Rugal in KOF 2002 and suddenly blurt out "You mean this time he's voiced by CELL?!"
** Norio has also voiced a select few number of good guys as well, from Lando Calrissian in the Japanese dub of ''[[Star Wars]]'' to Shuren in ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.
** Not really good or evil, but he has also voiced a [[Azumanga Daioh|cat]] and a [[Nichijou|wooden cube]], I kid you not. Heavy dramatic voice and all.
Line 504:
** [[Gurren Lagann|Nia]] (pre-[[Time Skip]]) = [[Teen Titans (animation)|Starfire]] (she even talks similarly). It actually works pretty well. Though after the [[Time Skip]] she has an entirely different VA.
** Don't forget [[Adventure Time|Princess Bubblegum!]]
** [[Adventure Time|Princess Bubblegum]] and [[Chalk ZoneChalkZone|Penny Sanchez]] sound... exactly the same. Both hail from shows from Frederator, both hail from shows starting out cartoon shorts shows, and both are ([[Insufferable Genius|insufferable]]) genius female inventors. It took watching both on DVR back to back for me to figure out that they sound exactly alike.
** Let's just say that [[Moe]] is Walch's [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|main forte]].
** Not all of her roles are [[Moe]] though. Case in point: [[The Batman|Harley Quinn]], [[Generator Rex|Breach]], [[Teen Titans (animation)|Blackfire, and Madame Rouge]].
 
* '''Marcia Wallace'''
** Ms. Edna Krabappel of [[The Simpsons (animation)|Springfield Elementary]] might sound familiar to older viewers who remember Wallace as Carol, Bob's receptionist on ''[[The Bob Newhart Show]]''.
 
* '''Jessica Walter'''
** Wholesome mom Fran on ''[[Dinosaurs]]'' was voiced by Jessica Walter, who became not-so-wholesome mom Lucille Bluth on ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''.
*** And later the impossibly even less-wholesome mother, Malory Archer.
** And long before either, she was the [[Yandere (disambiguation)|crazy chick]] who stalked [[Clint Eastwood]] in ''[[Play Misty for Me]]''.
 
* '''[[Patrick Warburton]]'''
** If you need a badass, he's your guy. Joe in ''[[Family Guy]]'', Brock Samson in ''[[The Venture Bros]]'', ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'', and the animated series version of [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]], to name a few.
** Oh, come on -- [[The Emperor's New Groove|Kronk]] is a nice guy -- untilguy—until you diss his spinach puffs!
** He is also your friendly chief flight attendant in the safety video on the Soarin' over California attractions at Disney's California Adventure Park and Epcot.
** [[Kim Possible|Mr. Barkin]] was a [[Hoodwinked|wolf]].

** It was a shock to the system to realise [[Baldur's Gate|Jon Irenicus]] is actually [[Star Trek|Chancellor Gorkon.]]
** On the other hand, Irenicus ''is'' a nice match for [[Batman: The Animated Series|Ra's Al-Ghul]].
** [[Freakazoid!|The Lobe]] as [[Gargoyles|The Archmage]], not so much. They're similar in attitude, though.
** [[Men in Black (animation)|Alpha]], [[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Herbert Landon]], and [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|Nergal]]
** Also [[Tron|Ed Dillinger, Sark, and the MCP]] (the former two live-action roles, the latter voice-only, and all those only in the original movie--reprisalsmovie—reprisals of any of those roles tend to fall to Corey Burton).
 
* '''[[Billie Lou Watt]]'''
Line 534:
 
* '''Richard Waugh'''
** Albert Wesker in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]'', and ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''.
 
* '''David Wenham'''
Line 550:
** He was Totoro in the redub of ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'' (duh!) as well as the Cat Bus. Plus, he has a role in ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]''.
** Some more obscure roles include Father Time and Fatch in ''[[Histeria!]]'' and Meat in ''[[The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show]]''.
** In one of his most obscure roles ever, he played a demonic banana in ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', who has Megatron's voice. That's right: '''Megatron as a killer banana'''.
** ''[[Fangface|Ooh! Ooh! What about me? Grr!]]
 
* '''[[Billy West]]'''
** [[Tropers/Furry Kef|This Troper]] noticed immediately when watching ''[[Futurama]]'' for the first time that Fry's voice sounded exactly like Doug Funnie's did (the original ''[[Doug]]'', not the newer series).
** As a kid, this troper couldn't get over the fact that [[Ren and Stimpy]] were the same person (see above).
*** In the post-Spumco era, that is.
Line 570:
 
* '''[[Mae Whitman]]'''
** Mae Whitman voiced Katara from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' and Rose from ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''.
** What would Katara have done if she had seen the dragons in Avatar?
*** This troper kept secretly hoping that [[Disney Fairies|Tinkerbell]] would start [[Kill It with Water|waterbending]].
Line 576:
** Once he read the cast list, this troper always pictured [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Ann Veal]] reciting Avatar's opening narration.
*** Her?
** And long before Ann Veal, she was the president's kid in ''[[Independence Day]]''. <ref>While [[Mary McDonnell|the First Lady]] moved on to playing [[Battlestar Galactica|an actual president]].</ref>
** And [[Johnny Bravo|Lil Suzy]].
 
* '''Fred Willard'''
** This troper couldn't help but notice how much [[Transformers Animated|Swindle]] sounded like [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy|the Boogie Man]].
** But its pretty easy to notice how [[WALL-E|Shelby Forthright, BnL CEO]] and Boogie sound the same.
 
Line 594:
** Speaking of Travis Willingham, after realizing he was Roy Mustang, this troper couldn't take Takashi from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' seriously anymore, couldn't stop picturing Takashi suddenly shouting to the club "TINY MINISKIRTS!!".
*** That said, hearing Roy Mustang's voice angsting about cavities killed this troper with the hilarity.
** Would you expect [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|Ragna the Bloodedge]] to say something like that? No? Of course not.
*** Except that's not Travis Willingham, it's Patrick Seitz.
** This Troper laughed his ass off when he heard a modified version of Roy Mustang's voice coming out of [[One Piece|Ace's]] [[FUNimation]]-dubbed mouth.
Line 624:
** [[Digimon Frontier|The Trailmon and EmperorGreymon]] are also secretly related to [[Final Fantasy VII|Yazoo]].
** [[Ben 10|Upchuck]] is secretly [[Kikaider|Jiro]] in disguise.
** Commander Irving Vold Valeria on ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]] Twilight Venom'' sounds like a [[Smug Snake]]![[Ai Yori Aoshi|Kaoru Hanabishi]]. Talk about your differing personalities. Wittenberg joins another ''AYA'' alum on this series; See [[Michelle Ruff]]'s [[Hey, It's That Voice!/I to R|entry]].
** Take one look at Dave Wittenberg's Wikipedia page and see ''how'' many roles he plays you actually recognize as him before reading it. I dare you. This troper somehow didn't even make the connection between Henri and Katsuya before he read it up.
** This troper started laughing once he figured out that [[Star Ocean 3|Cliff Fittir]] was [[Naruto|Kakashi]], [[Xenosaga|Allen]], and [[Digimon Tamers|Henry]].
Line 631:
 
* '''James Woods'''
** [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|CJ]] has to jump on board a plane and kill everyone while it's taking off? Why should he? Oh, [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hades]] told him to. OK then.
** Also, it's creepy hearing James Woods in [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hercules]] after watching ''Videodrome''. For that matter, [[Nightmare Fuel|anything is creepy after watching Videodrome]]!
** It's hard to imagine [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hades]] working as a [[Shark|prosecution lawyer]].
** [[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within|I KNOW!!!]]
 
Line 654:
 
* '''[[Keone Young]]'''
** [[American Dragon: Jake Long|Lao Tsu]] and [[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi|Kaz]] have one thing in common. They are short, old, Asian and voiced by this guy.
** Along with [[Dante Basco]] and [[Mae Whitman]], he is another ''ADJL'' alumnus in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' that makes us wonder "I thought that voice sounds familiar..." (He voiced Jeong Jeong.)
 
* '''[[Satsuki Yukino]]'''
** [[Higurashi|Mion/Shion]], Satsuki Yukino is, beyond everything else [[Full Metal Panic!|Kaname Chidori]] and [[Inuyasha|Kagome Higurashi]].
** In relation to [[Fan Nickname|Shmion]], this troper first encountered her as [[Clannad (visual novel)|Misae Sagara]], so when Shion started to shout "Satoshi-kun," she noticed her inflection and voice sounded a lot like "Shima-kun."
 
* '''Ian Ziering'''
** Back in the late nineties, this troper watched ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'', starring Ian Ziering as Steve Sanders. Fast forward to 2004, and he played ''[[Freelancer]]'', starring Ian Ziering as Edison Trent -- thisTrent—this time with an older, deeper voice.
