You know, for the longest time I didn't notice this.. but Fry from futurama is the voice of the Cheerio Honey Bee!

Who else can you think of that does voices for popular characters that are featured elsewhere?

I don't know how to verify it but I think the guy who does Liquid Snake does the voice over for all those Netzero Hispeed commercials. Sounds like him IMO anyway.

Billy West has done so much more than that. Most notably Being Doug of "Doug" fame and voicing Ren and Stimpy

I've heard him in a few other cartoons too, though I don't remember which. I've heard him in quite a few video games as well (Grandia 2, Berzerk, and Robotech that I can remember off the top of my head). He gets around as far as VA jobs go.

Sparks from Sealab 2021 was also the talking Parkay.

Cam Clarke (old Leonardo etc.) is in every damn thing in existence. Sometimes in multiple roles, conversing with others of himself (Grandia 2).

EDIT:
Oh, here's a good one. Scrooge McDuck was also Wilbur on Mr. Ed.

He also did one-off voices in Batman, Spider-Man, Quack Pack, Freakazoid, Fairly Odd-Parents and Kim possible

Jim Cummings does the voice of Winnie the Pooh, but also did the voice of Robotnik from the Sonic SatAM Series, Fuzzy Lumpings from PPG, Fat Cat from Chip & Dale, DarkWing Duck, Bonkers, Pete from Goof Troop, Psy-Crow from EarthWorm Jim, Cat from CatDog, and a whole load of others.

Kath Soucie did the voices for:

The lack of Frank Welker respect in this thread is unforgivable.

Not only is he the voice of both of these characters,
madcatpet.gif

but he's also the voice of about a million other characters: Freddy from Scooby Doo, Hefty Smurf, Kermit on Muppet Babies, Stripe in Gremlins, Monkey and Krunk on Dexter's Lab, Nibbler on Futurama, and my favorites, Soundwave and Megatron on Transformers.

And whenever you hear an animal in a cartoons or some sort of alien creature in a movie, chances are it's Frank doing the sounds.

Just check out this guy's resume.

Frank Welker is the most talented voice actor working today. And don't get me started on Rob "90% of my characters sound like Raphael from TMNT" Paulsen...

Ash from Pokemon = April O'Neil in the new Turtle cartoon

Every year at the San Diego comic con there's a large voice-acting panel where a bunch of them get together and crack jokes using their cartoon voices. I've met a couple of them and they're all really nice. Mark Hamill was there one year and mentioned how he was a V.A. before he became Luke Skywalker. He also did the Joker on the 90's Batman cartoon.

Pretty much, it's it's a shame that he's not getting the voice in 'The Batman'. When does that begin anyhow?

Since he is the voice of Batman, you'd think others would use the same voice, like how Gary Chalk is basically THE voice for any Optimus Prime, but uses a very similar voice for Robotnik in Sonic Underground, and Man-of-arms in He-Man.

Heh, he was also Grounder in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, King Hippo in Captain N, Guts Man in the Mega Man show, Mike Haggar in the Final Fight show, Dalsim in the Street Fighter series, and Slash & Turbo in Reboot.

Elmo is a Black dude. My Mom does work with him.

I need to see who does the voices for:

Optimus Prime
Cobra Commander
Starscream
Megatron

i always found it interesting that Earle Hyman (who played Russel Huxtable - better know as the grandfather - on the Cosby show) was the voice of Panthro on Thundercats.

Why not? Leonardo does voice acting all over the place. He's still Leo though, no matter what he does (games, anime, car insurance ads, etc)

Which ever Ratchet(I assume the first one)that voiced Tidus, also voiced Gabe Logan in the new Syphon Filter Omega Strain.

Eh? I thought Jim Cummings (current Winnie The Pooh, Pete from Goof Troop, etc.) did that. I read an interview from 1990/91 where he was talking about how hard it was to do the voice for Shredder (harder on the vocal cords apparently). Maybe there were two Shredder voices.

EDIT: Okay, according to IMDB, there must have been about four people who voiced Shredder. Jim was the last one it seems. Yeesh! Jim has been in like 200+ different projects, not countering the number of TV episodes in those projects he's been in.
