Voice actors with surprising range

[James Fabiano]

Opposite of the 1-2 voices thread.

I have to go with Ted Knight. We all know his Ted Baxter voice, but he was especially ranged doing several characters on Filmation Batman.

[Cyno]

Daman Mills and Max Mittleman for two modern examples. Bryce Papenbrook has really impressive range, too.

[Zombie Mod is not a ghoul.]

Clancy Brown.
Mark Hamill.

[BorneAgain]

Robert Pattinson is so unrecognizable in The Boy and the Heron that I kind of want him to do more animated work just to show off what he can do.

[Duke Cameron]

Laura Post (Kasumi in Persona 5 Royal, Harley Quinn in TellTale’s Batman: The Enemy Within, Catherine in Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Peter Cullen. Besides Optimus Prime, he also voiced Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh and Monterey Jack in Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers.

I actually looked him up a few days ago to see if I could name him in the 1-2 voices thread. I knew of Optimus Prime, who sounds very similar to Venger from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, who sounds just like a bunch of one-off villains from 1980s shows like Thundarr the Barbarian or Spiderman and His Amazing Friends.
I was surprised by how many Peter Cullen roles I wasn't aware of because they sound completely different. He's amazing.

I was born in 83 and I remember several years back I went to a convention where Rob Paulsen was the guest of honour. I looked him up and he voiced a ridiculous amount of my childhood. Some of the more notable ones: Raphael in the original ninja turtles cartoon, Arthur from the Tick in seasons 2 and 3, Yakko Warner, Pinky from Pinky and the Brain and many others. He's had a prolific career and I remember at a q and a he took us through several of the voices and how some of them were similar but distinct and how he achieved those differences. One fun note is that he played Donatello in the 2012 Nickalodeon ninja turtles as well.

But yeah, he's a down to earth fun guy who has fantastic range.

And the first guy to voice Mario!

The cast list for Centaur World is kinda wild

[Hobby Drifter]

Frank Welker has a frankly (heh) shocking range of different voices. From Scooby Doo’s Fred to Inspector Gadget’s Doctor Claw to Real Ghostbusters’ Slimer, to basically every incidental animal voice you’ve heard on TV for the last 30 years.

[ChitownKnight]

Christopher Sabat? The guy that voiced Vegeta and Piccolo. I think he’s voiced several other characters as well

[Soultastic]

He's a latam spanish voice and dub actor, but Humberto Velez. Anyone who can convincingly be both Homer Simpson and the Terminator has range.

[Casey Jones (AKA MrThrowback)]

This thread begins and ends with Rob Paulsen.

[MrElijah]

David Hayter
-Solid Snake & Naked Snake/Big Boss
-Captian America(Spider-Man TAS)
-Bernie Wiseman(War in The Pocket)
-Lupin III(Castle of Cagliostro)

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I also have to add Dan Castelleneta here just for how wildly different the Homer voice is from, say, Charlie

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Sam Marin

Pops, Benson, and Muscle Man in Regular Show

Enough said tbh

The fact that Vincent and Cosmo share the same voice actor never fails to boggle me.

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

Started watching My Hero Academia last week. It's really impressive watching Christopher Sabat switch between his normal voice for normal!All Might and massive ham Super!All Might, often at the drop of a hat.
