Voice Actors. Don't you just love 'em

[Omar Harris]

Well, just read the topic of the title. I know there are some people who watch cartoons (if not just anime). Well, have you ever heard a VA who was so good, you just have to shout out praises? Or better yet, have you ever heard a VA do two or more characters that sound nothing alike, and do it so well you would never expect it? Here's your place.

One of my faves is Mark Hamill (yes, Luke Skywalker). He not only has done of the voice of the Joker since the debut of Batman: The Animated Series, but is also the voice of Solomon Grundy (that huge white, dumb zombie in Justice League). His laugh is hideous and that's just how I like it.

Also, Tim Curry. Great actor, even greater voice, he has played several villains including Hexxus in Fern Gully, the main villain in Mighty Ducks (the cartoon) and Captain Hook in Peter Pan and the Pirates.

Frank Welker!
Frank Welker did the voice of Fred from "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" and he [i]still[/i] does Fred's voice in "What's New Scooby Doo?" He's the only original 1960s cast member still doing his character's voice.

Cree Summer.
Ever notice how every African-American girl in [i]every[/i] American cartoon you watch sounds the exact same? That's because Cree Summer (she also played Freddie on "A Different World") does all of their voices. She was also Elmyra from "Tiny Toons" and a substitute voice for Penny on "Inspector Gadget."

Mark Hamill.
Best Joker ever. It's the life of all type-casted has-beens. After playing Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill couldn't find a decent on-screen role. Thank goodness he turned to voice acting, because he's the best Joker in a Batman series I've ever heard.

Phil La Marr.
You might remember Phil as the UBS Delivery guy on MadTV. Nowadays, he's doing the voices of Samurai Jack, Green Lantern on "Justice League," and Static on "Static Shock." He also does a few other voices that I can't think of right now. He and Cree Summer dominate the roles of African-American teens in animated series.

I like Dom Deluise. He's been a lot of voices

[vegeta rocker]

I would have to go with Richard Cox. He does Inuyasha, Mobile Suit Gundam, Zoids and other stuff.
I have a question, is it just me or does spike Spiegal also played by the guy who does Great Teacher Onizuka?
Just curious.....I Guess i COULD look it up....or not.

[b]Frank Welker[/b]
Voice of the great Megatron from Transformers Generation 1. He also did the voices of Soundwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Skywarp, Galvatron, and countless others in that show. And as you know, Megatron, Rumble, Frenzy, Skywarp, and Soundwave were all in the same scene countless times, and we know that none of em sound alike. Plus, like Endymion mentioned, he also played in Scooby Doo and countless other cartoons. Frank Welker is definetly a VA legend in my book.

[b]Chris Latta (RIP)[/b]
For those that dont know, Chris Latta was the one who did the voice of Starscream in Transformers G-1 and he also did the voice of Cobra Commander in GI Joe. I always loved to hear Chris Latta's voice in both of those shows, and to this day, his voice can never be duplicated. Chris will also remain in my book as one of the greatest VAs of all time. Rest in Peace Chris. We miss you.

[b]John Stephenson[/b]
Voice of Thundercracker in Transformers Generation 1. Well, since Thundercracker is one of my favorite G-1 characters of all time, plus the voice fit him to a tee, I got to say that John Stephenson will go into my book as the true Thundercracker. Awesome VA in my book.

[b]Orson Welles (RIP)[/b]
Now not many of you know that Orson did some Voice Acting. Well, Orson did the voice of Unicron in Transformers: The Movie. As a matter of fact, it was his last role before he passed away. Orson Welles did an awesome voice for Unicron in my opinion. There was one other person to do Unicron's voice, and that was in Transformers: Beast Wars, but it couldnt even compare to Orson's voice. Orson Welles will also go in my books as one of the greatest VA's of all time.

[b]Brian Drummand[/b]
It seems like I'm goin into anime on this one, but Drummand did some none anime shows aswell such as Transformers: Beast Machines, and he's also doin a voice for Transformers Armada. Plus, we definetly cant forget his role as Vegeta in Dragonball Z and his role as Zechs Marquis in Gundam Wing plus if I'm not mistaken, he plays a role on InuYasha aswell. Drummand is definetly one of the greatest VA's to exist aswell.

Yes....I also love Richard Cox! He does really great with Inu. I don't think they could've picked someone better than him. If they changed Inu's American voice, I'd proably never watch the show again...I also like Christopher Sabat for some reason. I always freak out and go crazy if I hear the voice actors from Yu Yu Hakusho and Inu or other Anime....I mean, who wouldn't?
