<div class="IPBDescription">Be it TV, movie, video game, or radio</div> I got a heck load of results of the search page, so I might of missed something. But as far as I can tell. this is a new topic.

So yeah, the topic says it all. And when I mean voice acting, I don't want actors/acts listed from a live action series/movie. ONLY FROM ANIMATIONS PLEASE, (or from radio)

I don't claim to be an expert in the field of voice acting, so my list is rather limited. I thought the voice acts in the game Sacrifice (favourite: Charnel), and Grim Fandango (Manny Calavera).

As for an actor, Mark Hamil sticks out for me, (Joker in the animated Batman, as well as that **** Adrian Ripburger in Full Throttle)

Can't really think of very much right now, I'll add more as I go along...

    There is only one person that can win this, for me. It has to go to Tim Curry for his vocal performance in Gabriel Knight: Sins Of The Fathers. His voice has the most beautiful accent and he brings so much life and character to Gabriel Knight.

    tim curry is f***ing awesome. i've heard of gabriel knight, i don't know who/what it is, but i'm gonna try to find that movie/thing because it has tim curry. thanks, esuna.

    oh tim curry and james earl jones are both excellent choices. I love tim curry as an actor in general... and so many of his roles are so well-costumed that it's like he's voice acting anyway =P Legend, RHPS... =P

    "Gabriel Knight: Sins Of The Fathers" is the first of 3 adventure games created by Sierra spanning from 1994 to 1999. The two sequels were nowhere near of the quality of the first.

    GK was, obviously, released in 1994 and is a milestone for me in my gaming career. The story is set in New Orleans and has all sorts of Voodoo type goings on. But don't get me wrong, this is a dark game. Blood is liberally splattered around and the language is occasionally "colourful". It also stars Mark Hamill doing the voice of Detective Mosley and Michael Dorn (Lt. Worf from Star Trek, whom also plays a spectacular performance) as Dr John.

    Due to the setting of this game, Tim Curry has a fantastic deep and rich southern USA accent, and he carries it off perfectly.

    I will wholeheartedly recommend you pick this game up if you can find it, it should be dirt cheap to buy but do endeavour to find the "talkie" version, it fleshes out the characters so much more.

    EDIT:
    If you're interested, amazon.com are selling a double pack of <a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00001NFUA/qid=1065931593/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-7662573-2926252?v=glance&s=videogames' target='_blank'>Gabriel Knight 1 and 2</a> for $15, whilst the second isn't worth a fraction of that, Sins Of The Fathers is worth every cent.

    The guy who did Sgt. Stacker in Halo. If you've listened to the outtakes...oh my god, he's a crackup.

    Other then that, I think Ellen Degeneres is another great voice actress. she made Finding Nemo good.

    The guy who plays Lilacor, the Sentient Sword, in Baldurs Gate 2:

    "And this is for grandma, who said I'd never amount to anything more than a butterknife!"
    "Hands up kiddies, who wants to <b><span style='color:red'>DIE</span></b>?!"
    "I'm the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty!"
    "Lets see what's inside THIS one!"
    "Mmmmm, mmm! Tastes like chicken!"
    "What's my status? Well since when d'ya care about me unless I'm impailed in somethings guts?!"

    Just a few quotes. There are hundreds more.

    And the guy who plays Irenicus.

    Hmm...

    I'll hedge my bets and say "anyone who did a voice for Sacrifice". Excellent voice acting in that.

    Whoever does the Master Chief sounds pretty cool =3
    Cortana's not bad either... heck most of the voices in Halo are good XD
    Same goes for soul reaver 2.

    Outside of games Megumi Hayashibara is amazing... she does voice acting for so many animes as well as singing their themes it's unbelievable and she usually does a great job of it too whether its the singing or acting <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    David Hayter - voice of Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Series.

    Richard Hayworth - voice of Legato from Trigun. So monotonous, but still, an awesome voice.

    David Hayter. I mean not only is he the voice of Solid Snake (and soon to be Big Boss), but he also wrote the script for X-Men 1 & 2! How cool is that?

    Crazy! I knew he did MG, but X-Men? Incredible.

    he didn't write the script for metal gear, he just voiced snake.

    in x-men 1 & 2 he didn't voice anyone, he just wrote the script and was made an appearance as a guard on liberty island in xmen 1
