There ’s something really satisfying about foul up a friend ’s mind by name a voice in cartoon . For example , how many of us discovered really late in life that Jerry Orbach was n’t just Lenny Briscoe in Law and Order , but was also Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast ? Here is a list of genre actor to hear for .
permit ’s start with the one of the most famous examples of this . apparently , Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker . And , just as plainly for anyone who has hear it , he ’s the voice of the Joker . Beginning with Batman : The Animated Series in the early Nineties , Hamill ’s played the Joker in a long ton of related television series , video game , and moving-picture show . Part of what make Hamill ’s Joker so neat is that he clearly have sex doing it . Speakingwith IGN , Hamill said :
I play The Joker from 1992 to 2004 , for the entire run of the series . I did everything , even the talking toy . They were n’t proceed to hire me , they were going to get another guy and I got very protective of the character .
They said , ‘ Well , we ca n’t pay you what you look , we can only pay a scurf . ’ I said , ‘ count , I ’d rather not get anyone else catch some Z’s in my sleeping bag . ’ I would do all those things for scale . I even did the voices on the Australian Batman rollercoaster rally , I ’m totally into it .
Which made it all the more disconcerting when he declare that it was likely that the work in Batman : Arkham City would be his last appearance as the Joker . But even apart from that performance , Hamill ’s had animpressive voice career .
He was Maxwell Smart in Mel Brooks and Buck Henry ’s undercover agent - fi parody Get Smart . Armed with a very specific voice and deliverance , Adams gave Smart a litany of grab phrases that are still immediately identifiable : “ Sorry about that , Chief ” ; “ leave out it by that much ” ; “ That ’s the second biggest XTC I ’ve ever seen ” ; “ Would you believe . . . ” ; and so on . Adams also had alengthy vox playacting vocation , but most of us plausibly first encountered his voice as that of Inspector Gadget . Gadget had a lot in coarse with Smart , and having Adams voice Inspector Gadget in spades made him the clear successor .
Does the same rule that call for Star Trek actors tosingalso implement to vocalization act ? Because , seriously , it might be easy to list the ones who have n’t had 2nd careers in voice play . peradventure , like the two above , it was just easy than getting typecast . Whatever the reason , here , in alphabetical club , are the people from Star Trek whose voices you may be on the lookout for :
https://gizmodo.com/the-strange-universe-of-science-fiction-novelty-records-5655487
Rene Auberjonois : From Odo to Archer
Levar Burton : A ) Begins the Star Trek / Gargoyles connexion B ) Captain Planet ’s Kwame .
Jeffrey Coombs : He ’s about as ubiquitous in the various Transformers read as he was on the Star Trek ones .
John de Lancie : He ’s essentially playing Q as a My footling Pony scoundrel
Michael Dorn : A ) Another Star Trek actor voicing gargoyle characters . B ) He voice the mol rat from the time to come on Kim Possible .
Jonathan Frakes : Gargoyles
Bruce Greenwood : Makes on this list on a technicality , but voicing Batman really put him over the top .
Kate Mulgrew : Gargoyles again
Nichelle Nichols : Ditto .
Leonard Nimoy : Sadly , makes this list through the transformer movies .
Dwight Schultz : Seriously , a lot . But hidden head for Eddie the Squirrell from CatDog .
Armin Shimerman : Also many places , but most often as General Skarr in The Grim Adventures of Bill & Mandy .
Marina Sirtis : Gargoyles strikes here , too .
Brent Spiner : Amongst others , he ’s got Gargoyles as the Star Trek reunification show again .
Patrick Stewart : CIA Agent Avery Bullock on American Dad
George Takei : Amongst other things , Pound Puppies
permit ’s cut to the chase : Ferngully is amazing if you imagine that Curry ’s animated embodiment of the evils of pollution and logging is actually Rocky Horror ’s Frank - N - Furter . If you take care at his credit , it quickly becomes clear that Curry ’s vocalism is all over your puerility . He advance a Daytime Emmy for voicing Captain Hook in Fox ’s Peter Pan and the Pirates . He was Taurus Bulba in Darkwing Duck . Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys . Professor Calamitous in Jimmy Neutron . Andon and on . For extra genre elf point , he was the previous voice of Senator / Chancellor / Emperor Palpatine in the animate Star Wars universe .

Guys , Felix Gaeta is the voice of L in the English dub of Death Note . Guys .
He wasalsoGambit in X - Men : Evolution , but I ’m still stuck on Death Note .
Vincent Price made his name in horror films , but his voice made its path into the nightmares of children as the rodent analogue to Professor Moriarty , Professor Ratigan , in The Great Mouse Detective . Seriously , how horrifying is it when he feeds his minions to a khat he summons with a Alexander Melville Bell ? He does have a bully strain , though .
He was the fly senator Nathan Petrelli in Heroes . ( Although , if you need to be absolutely terrify of him , seek out Profit . ) Since then , Pasdar ’s voice has beenall overthe Marvel animated show . He ’s been Hawkeye , Captain America , and Dr. Strange . Mostly , though , he ’s been Tony Stark .
Ron Perlman : the actor whose most recognizable part render his actual face unrecognisable . In addition to being under tons of prosthetic makeup in Hellboy , Perlman join Hamill as a Batman : The Animated Series alum . He voiced Clayface . He ’s also been Slade in the Teen Titans , Jax - Ur in Superman : The Animated Series , Sozin in Avatar : The Last Airbender , Orion in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited , Killer Croc / Rumor / Bane in The Batman , Doctor Double X in Batman : The Brave and the Bold , and Sinestro in Green Lantern : The Animated Series . That ’s aselection ; just try on to avert this guy ’s vocalisation .
He ’s only here because it ’s pretty astonishing that a dude who ’s on a series in its 9th season ( Supernatural ) also found the fourth dimension to voice Red Hood in Batman : Under the Red Hood .
The man who play Khan in Star Trek could have gone in the Star Trek lean above , but that seemed awless somehow . He did voice for Freakazoid ! , Buzz Lightyear of Star Command , Dora the Explorer , and Kim Possible ( which approach Gargoyles - degree employment of literary genre actors ) .
vox - playacting is where Adam West does a circumstances of hisAdam Westing . In BOTH Batman : The Animated Series and Kim Possible , he represent an actor famous for a superhero role . Of course , he also voices what is either a variant of himself OR an unhinged character who happens to partake his name on Family Guy .
Like the actors from Star Trek , a number of people we ’d recognize from various Joss Whedon show have had second careers as voices :
Adam Baldwin : The human beings They Call Jayne is also Breakdon on Transformers Prime
David Boreanaz : Hal Jordan in Justice League : The New Frontier
Eliza Dushku : She - Hulk in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
Nathan Fillion : Also Hal Jordan .
Seth Green : In addition to everything else he ’s done , he try his “ one of us ” status with Robot Chicken
Gina Torres : Also in Transformers Prime . And Superwoman in Justice League : Crisis on Two ground .
He does puzzle out for The Legend of Korra and alot of other quicken projects , but this is also a case of an actor completely owning every iteration of a role . He just is J. Jonah Jameson , now and forever and a day . Live - action in the Sam Raimi Spider - Man ? He was double-dyed . Doing the voice for all the Marvel sketch ? Also double-dyed . Spidey himself is a number of different thespian , but Simmons as Jameson is , at this point , irreplaceable .
Back in the Nineties , Sallah from Indiana Jones dida raft of spokesperson act . However , one of the most interesting cases of double casting is that Rhys - Davies played Gimli and did the part for Treebeard in the Lord of the Rings moving-picture show .
He already had a place in story for the titular use in the Frankenstein films , but he alsodid some voice work . Who are we kid ? There ’s one voice role that ’s a holiday all important : his sales pitch - utter voicing of the teller and the Grinch in the 1966 animise short of How the Grinch Stole Christmas .
There ’s this thing where nipper actor go into voice pretend . Like , a lot of people easily recognizable from the Disney Channel , ABC Family , or the equivalent then went on do voices . Lacey Chabert . Ashley Tisdale . Christy Carlson Romano . NEIL PATRICK HARRIS .
The prize , though , would probably go toWill Friedle , who went from Boy foregather World to an extremely prolific vox - acting career . Most pregnant , probably , as Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond and Ron Stoppable in Kim Possible . ( Bonus head to his son Meets World co - sensation William “ Mr. Feeny ” Daniels for vocalize KITT in Knight Rider ) .
Also unacceptable to brush off , despite not being strictly speaking “ musical genre ” actors :
Mike Myers in Shrek . He ’d already been Austin Powers and Wayne Campbell before that role .
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in Toy Story . Again , these were role player already in the public consciousness in a vainglorious way , but their carrying out in Toy Story will always be iconic .
Ed Asner . There ’s a bad generational split with this actor . Older audiences will probably always think first of Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore Show . But younger audiences have been hearing his voice for years , and thenhe stamped onto their consciousness in a big way in Up .
