A screenshot of a tweet from @zumo_zd, which reads "I like it when this happens". The attached image is a drawn mock-up of an IMDb-style page of "Popular Voice Actor Man, known for Lord Darkness Edgeman from Blood Dying and Screaming". On his list of roles, this casting is listed, but he is also listed as voicing "Fish" from "Adventures of little fish in bowl". End transcription.

Jim Cummings voiced both Winnie the Pooh and the Master in Fallout.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Jim Cummings voiced literally everyone from every show ever. That's cheating.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every character voiced by Jim Cummings vs. Every character voiced by Frank Welker, no holds barred, go!

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This fight comes down to Dr. Eggman vs Megatron.

I'd pay to see that.

Jim Cummings voiced literally everyone from every show ever. That’s cheating.

That's like listing all the games that have David Bowie or characters just like him

Infamously Mark Hamill: Luke Skywalker and The Joker

[–] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

That dude is everywhere. Yes, he became iconic for his Joker voice in Batman: The Animated Series, but my god he's in so much TV. He was hilarious for his brief appearance in "What We Do in the Shadows," and he killed it in Adventure Time. I mean seriously, look at his IMDB page.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And he was fantastic in The Fall of the House of Usher.

[–] Mail92@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Didnt occur to me until right now that was him! Really blended into the role.

[–] Marighost@lemm.ee 36 points 2 years ago

One of my favorite examples of this is Charles Martinet, longtime voice of Mario (and Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi), is also the voice of the legendary dragon Paarthurnax in Skyrim.

In Brazil, Goku, Jackie Chan (from the Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon), Spongebob and Simon (Alvin and the Chipmunks movies) are all voiced by the same man, Wendel Bezerra

Another big VA here, Guilherme Briggs, voices Superman (all cartoon versions since the 90s), Buzz Lightyear, Optimus Prime (movies), as well as Cosmo (Fairly Odd Parents), King Julien and Eduardo (Foster's Home)

Jorgeh Ramos is another interesting case. He voiced Huckleberry Hound (Dom Pixote) in the 70s. Later on, he was the voice of The Terminator (1985 film) Jaffar, Scar (Lion King), Rasputin (Anastasia) and a load of other villains.

Alan tudyk?

Andy serkis?

That one guy who does a shitload of videogames and anime dubs whose name always escapes me?

[–] mySFWaccount@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Alan Tudyk was my first thought too.

Steve Blum (bloom?) or my guy Nolan North?

[–] Kepion@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Quite a few of them but Tom Kenny is one of the best

[–] bpm@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Clancy Brown does Lex Luthor for DC and Mr. Krabs from Spongebob.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And like 40 other characters from every piece of media ever. He was Long Feng in Avatar (there is no war in Ba Sing Se), he was Rawhide in Buckaroo Banzai, Parallax, Taskmaster, Surtur (from Thor: Ragnarok), Sergeant Zim (the DI) in Starship Troopers...

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The only thing I've seen Andy Serkis use his actual face in was Andor, and he was amazing.

Motherfucking Stephan Weyte. Best known for voicing characters like Caleb in Blood, Minos Prime in ULTRAKILL, and Nyarlathotep in Dusk, as well as a number of characters in Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam.

[–] Pajama@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I was shocked to learn that Samurai Jack, and Bolbi from Jimmy Nuetron shared the same voice actor.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Prime example, Scott adsit voice baymax from big hero six, one of the most wholesome characters to have ever existed, and clay Pinkerton from moral oral, a raging alcoholic father who denies he is responsible fir anything bad happening, including shooting his own son in the leg.

Takehito Koyasu as Dio Brando from JoJo and also Excalibur from Soul Eater

[–] SnappDragon10@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah feck, the desire to do voice training and the associated anxiety go brrrrr

[–] unmarketableplushie@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's pretty daunting. I can do it alright but actually getting into the voice is the hard part, if that makes sense.

[–] SnappDragon10@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea makes sense. I'm having a rough time taking a step towards it overall.

[–] unmarketableplushie@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you nothing but luck and happiness.

[–] Riftinducer@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

I liked that Mike Patton voiced both the Darkness and also the Anger Sphere from Portal. Horrifying mass of snakes, blades and tentacles, then a harmless orb.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Eric Bauza definitely needs recognition here.
