Wait... I know that voice!

See, this right here is why I feel kinda bad for Richard Steven Horvitz, because no matter where I hear him, it'll be Invader Zim. Doesn't matter if its Raz, Ziggs, Kaos, Orthopox, or any other,I will always just hear Zim.

He'll always be Daggert from Angry Beavers to me, came out way before Zim, so yeah XD.

Mass Effect 2 - Grunt. I knew I had heard him somewhere, then it dawned on me. Grunt's voice actor voiced a great number of NPCs in Gothic 3.

Another would be in Risen 1, when I first met The Don. Instantly recognisable, but glorious all the same. John Rhys fucking Davies!

Last I checked Grunt was voiced by Steve Blum. Blum's been around, having voiced heroes, villains, and everything in between. Right off the top of my head I can tell you he was:

Grayson Hunt, Bulletstorm

Gene, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops

Galvez, MGS Peace Walker

Killer Croc, Various other voices in the Batman Arkham games

Marines and brutes in the Halo games

The Thugs-4-Less Commander in Ratchet & Clank 2

...and many many many more. Like I said he's been around.

Recently the big ones for me have been Starscream and Amon.

For the longest time, the voice of Zaeed in the ME games rolled around in my head... familiar, so familiar. That gravelly voice, where had I heard it? Who was it? Why was it so FAMILIAR?

Then, finally, ages later, it struck me. He was in another Bioware game...

Spoiler: Ohai Saul!

Always did love that game...

Here's a fun one.

I know, I know, but it's still neat that this is actually a thing.

Was watching Charmed, some boring episode about Prue trying to duke it out with this somber-looking dude

then he opened his mouth and

I had one of these moments recently in Saint's Row 2. Maero, the leader of the Brotherhood, is voiced by Michael Dorn, otherwise known as Worf form ST: TNG. When I first heard him talking, I was like...wait a minute...I know that voice...but from where. And then it hit me. OMFG, it's mother fucking Worf!!!!!

But yeah, Vic Mignogna, Yuri Lowenthal, Johnny Yong Bosch, and a few others are literally everywhere, and they have easily recognizable voices, at least for me. And besides them, there's always a couple voices in every game or whatever that I recognize from somewhere else. Voice acting, like every other form of acting, mostly consists of a small pool of people who do practically everything because they're familiar, and familiarity is more likely to sell a product.

I'm watching Justice League Unlimited, and getting this so damn often.

Not counting the staples, you can't toss a rock without hitting a familiar voice actor.

These four main characters from Futurama...

are ALL voiced by the same person, Billy West! When they talk to each other in the show he is just talking to himself!

He also voiced both Ren AND Stimpy and Elmer Fudd...wow.

Also, Bender from Futurama IS Jake from Adventure Time!

Laura Bailey.

I think I'm totally in love with her.

Mainly because she voiced this little guy.

From games I played, I recognize her as

Raspberry(?) from Disgaea thingy
Rise from Persona 4
female from Saints Row 3
Luna from Zero Escape

FF 13 (didn't play this one. but I think she voiced the trailer)


Checked her IMDB page and I didn't know she voiced Lady Comstock from Bioshock Infinite. I guess I don't know her voice as well as I thought.

Gotta agree that Laura Bailey is awesome.. she's beautiful, can sing and is a amazing voice actress with good range. i first heard her distinct voice in the anime Fullmetal Alchemist as Lust and so far my favorite role she's done is Hiyori Sarugaki on Bleach (though that's partially because i have a thing for anime girls with pig-tailed blond hair ).. she does a great job as Maka on Soul Eater too though.

Beautiful.... yes.... yes she is.... *sigh*
