As long as they are real voice actors I am cool with it.
I also hate the trend of movies and stuff using hollywood actors instead of voice actors.

Well, Mel Blanc because freakin looney tunes man......... WE ALL grew up on that... If you didn't you need to re-do your childhood.

But Alessandro Juliani was genious as the English version of L in Death Note.... Many of you may know him as Lieutenant Felix Gaeta in the 2003 Battlestar Galactica

But dude.... If that had held true, we never would have gotten Mark Hamil doing The Joker.....
What a loss that would have been.

Mark Hamill, the Joker as far as cartoons go is DEAD without Hamill, I KNOW it shouldn't be so but his performance is absurdly convincing of a madmen. Crap, when I READ the comics I imagine his voice lol

I'd also like to point out, though I don't know his name, that the voice actor of Batman (the tv series, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City) is also great, he has this serious monotone, that turns out to be downright intimidating; HOWEVER I don't think he is as irreplaceable as Mark Hamill...

Edit: the voice actress who dubbed Morrigan (Dragon Age)rocks, her voice is downright kickass, it's not dumb, it's not silly, it's downright serious.
Sorry, I can't let that go..... His name is Kevin Conroy.... And when I look at a Batman cartoon, if he is not the voice actor, I don't watch it..... Plain and simple.

That would be Claudia Black. She has a fantastic voice.

Nolan North because Deadpool and Dr Richtofen from COD: World at War/BLOPS.
Nolan North was Dr. Richtofen?

The man has range I wasn't aware of...
He was also the Penguin in Batman: Arkham City. Shocked me to learn that.

OT: My god, there are so many good actors, I don't think I can choose.

Troy Baker, as in Vincent from Catherine, Booker DeWitt and Snow Villiers? Really?

Wow, hard choice.

As much as I love Futurama I'm not going to say Billy West. What? He did Porky Pig too? Holy Shit...
Still no.

Jon DiMaggio is close, but he did voice Marcus Fenix who is one of the worst characters of all time so that kind of puts a damper on my respect for him, but not his quality of acting. But he's out too.

Mark Hammill. The Joker, oh sorry THE Joker. But that's kind of his only claim to fame, (Luke Skywalker, but that wasn't voice acting that was regular acting)

Tara Strong on the other hand is amazing in everything she does. On top of what you mentioned she was also Harley Quinn, Juliet Starling, and Keira from Jak 3 and lost of other good stuff.

She wins for me, but there are 2 that I think are better.

Jennifer Taylor (Not Jennifer Hale) I'm talking about Cortana. Her performance in Halo 4 is unparallelled by any dramatic voice actor who's ever talked into a mike. Made all the more impressive by the fact that she's been working in close proximity to a voice actor who's continually set new lows for the field of talking every time he opens his mouth, Steve Downs.

And Ami Koshimizu. She has the widest range and highest quality of characters she can play and does an amazing job every time. Especially if you think Camp is harder to act than drama (Like I do) her performance as Friedelinde in Agarest War Zero puts her on a level that Can't be touched.

So Tara Strong is the best on that list and my third favorite of all time.


J.K. Simmons would burn my house down with combustible lemons if I didn't put him in the honorable mentions.

His animation roles are memorable but his video game list amazes me to no end for who he's voice acted and I very much look forward to him playing Deadpool again in the upcoming game.
