Did you know some of your favorite animated characters have been voiced by the same actor! While some of the most famous actors in the world provide a ton of on screen entertainment, it’s their talents behind the microphone that elevate their craft to a whole other level. Stars such as Stephanie Beatriz, Tom Holland and Zendaya are just a few actors who have lent their voices to multiple animated characters, some of which are extremely popular. Just because we don’t see their faces, doesn’t mean these actors should get any less credit for their amazing performances.
Voice acting isn’t easy, which is why it’s very impressive when an actor attempts the medium, and nails their part. Popular animated characters such as Mirabel from Encanto, Raya from Raya and The Last Dragon, and Bruno from Encanto have been voiced by big name actors. Some of these actors have more voice acting experience than others, but in all cases they shine in their roles and breathe life into their characters. Voice acting brings a whole new set of challenges to actors. We’ve seen Tom Holland's impressive acting range before in his live action roles, but his one weakness when voicing a character is his inability to do a convincing laugh. And some of these actors faced challenges when forced to record their lines from their homes. Working remotely is never easy.
We appreciate all the hard work these actors put into each and every one of their roles. Which actor plays your favorite animated characters? Leave a comment down below and let us know!

I am shocked they left out Eddie Murphy who voice acted both donkey from Shrek AND dragon from Mulan! Two very iconic characters!
Which sounded exactly like Eddie Murphy
There isnt much difference. Or any difference.
Mushu is the dragon's name :)
@@armyblinkforever7273 BLINK❤
@@hardcandy9880 donkey and mushu are nothing alike. One is dragon loving donkey the other is a self loving dragon
You forgot Josh Gad. He has a ton of voiceover work. Olaf from Frozen, Louis from Ice Age, Chuck from Angry Birds. Just to name a few
@@MargotsWorld actually Josh Gad is the voice of Olaf and Jonathan Groff is the voice of Kristoff
@@MargotsWorld Josh is Olaf Jonathan Groff is kristoff and sven too
And Beauty and the Beast! He’s amazing 🤩
I love him as Olaf! He’s so funny! ⛄️
And the most amazing part is he is part of Beauty and the beast live action. He sings there and still sounds like olaf Hahahha
I just love how they animated Sisu to look exactly like Awkwafina
I was surprised
As soon as i saw sisu i knew it was her
Lol literally
@@cecyconcdecoco3818 do us all a favor, and PLEASE, PLEASE change your profile.
When I heard her say something, I thought she was sisu!😂 But let’s be honest, she voiced in Raya And The Last Dragon, and Bad Guys, that’s impressive!
Let’s be real, we were surprised when the same voice actor for Bruno did the voice for Sid the sloth.
Jajaj yea
Fbsghrfvhyayahydbhdymymommydhsjjkivfishfxfjfgay
I was like: "what? 😧"
They do have a similar vibe tbh
We were? I'm surprised that anyone WAS surprised.
To be honest, I’m surprised Tara Strong isn’t in here because she has done a heck ton of animated works…
Same
I think they were going more for On Screen Actors who did voice work over Voice Actors who do multiple roles. Like notice how all the actors listed are far more famous for they’re screen roles vs voice work?
Yeah, when she voiced as Raven from Teen Titans Go! and Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony.
fr
Holy Sh!! Last time I checked this had 10 likes lmao
Fun fact about Sandra Oh: She also voiced(speaking) Princess Ting Ting(the eldest daughter of the emperor) in Mulan II.
No wonder she sounded familiar 😂
She also voices Mark's mother in Invincible
@@Shiva182Katarina I was looking for this comment lol
And Castaspella from Shera
If you can watch Mulan II all the way through without throwing up, congrats.
Name someone who’s done more major voice characters that Tara Strong. You can’t. She is EVERYONE’S childhood.
I would argue that she's tied with Frank Welker. Though, Tara Strong is more likely to voice a human or child, and Frank Welker is more likely to voice a grown man or animal.
Cree Summer is up there too. Very talented
Her and Cree Summer not being on this list is a crime
twilight mary jane raven bubbles batgirl (I think)
@@pegasus_1018 timmy turner
Wow some of these actually surprised me. It’s so weird how the voice seems completely different from the actor and then when you see them it makes sense 😅
I think it’s autotune
@@yourlazybestie9955 wow…
@kittyroblox what do you mean "wow..." its just they use atotune in a lot of aniamted movies
Nothing. You wouldn’t know. Don’t worry about it.
@@yourlazybestie9955 they use autotune on songs not animated movies
although Lea Salonga didn't have a character herself, she sang two Disney princesses songs which is pretty impressive, singing high notes while in two different voices is not many can do.
Alan Tudyk taking non-speaking animal roles in disney films, but being part of Ice Age as a talking animal is funny to my brain.
A moment of silence for those who didn't know Bruno and Sid were voiced by the same person.
Thank you
Grey Griffin is a powerhouse of voice acting. She played Azula, Daphne Blake, Vicky, and countless others
"Who is that, satan?" "Oh oh oh!....it's me." I laughed so hard when she said that! 😂
Lol I played it back a couple of times 😂
@@maribelgranados80 me too! 😆
Tom Holland has only voiced a handful of animated projects, mostly movies, but he does have one cute-as-can-be piggie commercial he voiced once upon a time. He’s done voice acting in both his own British accent and American, depending on the project. Despite the importance of authentic accents in Spies in Disguise, it was important for his character to have an American accent. He also used his American accent in ONWARD
He doesn’t change his voice that much tho. I really like it when voice actors can do multiple types of voices, not when they sound the same
You forgot Ms. Maya Rudolph. She voiced some of the FF films: 😁 - Aunt Cass in Big hero 6 - Matilda from Angry birds movie - Daniella Paguro in Lucca - Linda Mitchell in Mitchell's vs the Machine
Don't forget Patton Oswalt as Remy (Ratatouille), Quibble Pants (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) and Max (The Secret Life Of Pets 2)
I think Alex hirsch deserves a spot on that list playing bill cipher, Grunkle Stan, soos, king, hooty, and like so many more disney voices
It saddens me because once again “Cree Summer” has been over looked. She has voice so many animated characters. Her talent should not be overlooked.
That part!
Well to be fair this is more so actors just doing voice acting …, they didn’t name Kevin Conroy, Patrick Warburton, Phil Lamarr, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong. 🙄 so relax
100% agree
Loved her in a Different World when I was a kid and then as I got older realized she did so many voices. I mean Penny from Inspector Gadget!!! My childhood in the 80's!
@@jordinhocharles u missed the point stfu
Okay but literally the one of the best and most frequent voice actor for disney/disney pixar is most definitely John Ratzenberger.
All the John Ratzenberger voices: • Toy Story films - Hamm • A Bug’s Life - PT Flea • Monsters Inc. films - Abominable Snowman • Finding Nemo - Moonfish • Incredibles films - Underminer • Cars films - Mack • Ratatouille - Mustafa • WALL-E - John • Up - Tom • Brave - Gordon • Inside Out - Fritz • The Good Dinosaur - Earl • Finding Dory - Bill • Coco - Juan • Onward - Fenwick kzhead.infomEk4qILwMWk?feature=share
I'm surprised that Robin Williams isn't on this list! He has voiced so many great characters - Genie from Aladdin as well as several penguins in Happy Feet & Happy Feet 2... and those are the just the ones off the top of my head! I'm sure if I looked, there are other voices he's done.
This should really be, “actors you didn’t know voiced multiple characters”. To leave out people like Mae Whitman is just a crime.
This. It's just a list of known film actors who did a few voice projects when there are people like Liam O'Brien with nearly 500 voice acting credits.
The same lady that played the voice of Malificent is also the same lady that played the voice of Lady Triemane.
Eleanor Audley.
This is a good list, but I feel like its been made with the stipulation that it's showcasing generally traditional actors who have voiced multiple characters in animation. There are SO many Voice Actors who only do voice work, and rarely appear in live action who have FAR more extensive voice careers than many of the ones you chose. Frank Welker, Tara Strong, Jim Cummings, Grey DeLisle-Griffin, Dee Bradley Baker, etc...
You forgot Bradley D Baker (I thin that’s how you spell his name)! He voiced every single clone from Star Wars the Clone Wars, which adds up to dozens of characters that true fans of Star Wars love and respect
I think Bruno = Sid is by far the biggest surprise here 😲 I just cant take Bruno seriously anymore 😅
look up his other work.. he plays luigi in the Mario bros movie from the 80s/90s and the MC in a movie called "the pest" where he plays an annoying dude.
I love how they put Ben Schwartz right after Jenny Slate!! The Saperstein siblings 👏🏼 (Parks and Rec Reference)
Oh god I love Sandra's voice. I wish I could hear it more
This is just a list of famous film actors who did a few voice roles. For a real test, do specialist voice actors. They are incredibly talented and do not get anywhere near enough credit for what they can do. Someone like Matt Mercer or Liam O'Brien could voice multiple characters in a movie and you'd never tell they're the same person and it saddens me that incredibly talented voice actors are continually overlooked for someone "known". Please, everyone, learn the names of the voice actors in your favourite cartoons, games etc and shout them out
It’s crazy because the animated characters look just like the actual actor sometimes
WOAH!!! I didn't even know that these characters had similar voice actors. Keep doing your thing, THE THINGS.
Idris Elba has an impressive amount of voice work
Shere Khan in Live Action Jungle Book and Bogo in Zootopia
Awkwafina's voice is just exactly the same as in sisu's. I like her voice, it's like it's cracking I dunno🥺❤️
I never noticed that she was in Collision Course too. I guess that makes them working together in character and irl is incredible
Stephanie Beatriz also voiced Lady Kima in The Ledgend of Vox Machina.
Animated Sinbad movie was from 2003…not 2013. I watched it in theaters when I was in high school and I was not in high school in 2013.
Ben Schwartz also voices Dewey in the Ducktales reboot, and i personally think that's bigger than Sonic, but mostly because Roger Craig Smith is (in my opinion) the official voice of Sonic. Jack Black is obviously Bowser in the Mario Movie, but that was recently announced, so i guess that's why it's not mentioned.
“Is that Satin oh oh that me” is one of the most relatable things I have ever heard
the fact that the characters that will smith's voiced lowkey looked like him😭
Still all Hail Tara Strong, even though I knew she wouldn't be on here!
YES from Nick to CN to Disney to Hasbro heck all of em
Alan Tudyk is also the voice of K2SO in Rogue One
Did you know that Tom's actual debut was an animated movie/anime movie? And that was the Ghibli movie Arriety where he voiced Sho in the UK dub.
I love that they picked like only big Hollywood actors that did maybe one or two roles. How about some well-known voice actors?
I thought that was the point of the video.
You forgot Ben Schwartz also voices Dewey Duck in the 2017 Ducktales reboot as well as Randy Cunningham in Randy Cunningham: 9th grade ninja
I always recognize awkwafina’s voice I love her❤️😭
Me too :-)
i Love how akwafina looks exactly like the human virsion of sisu
8:19 Wow, Kristen Bell’s voice just melts into Jade in TTG. Even though I can hear Anna in her voice, her voice for Jade sounds so natural it’s kinda hard to know it’s still Kristen Bell
Kristen was the voice of two Disney characters - Anna from Frozen & Priscilla (GF of Flash, the fastest sloth in Zootopia)
There are so many more... Chris Pratt, David Tennant, Gilbert Godfrey, Michelle Pfeiffer, John Lithgow, Mark Hamill, etc
dont get people started on mark hamill. he has voiced many icon characters
Idris Elba did Knuckles in Sonic 2, the sea lion in Finding Dory, Shere Khan in Jungle Book, and Chief Bogo in Zootopia and others. Makes me wonder if he and his family get free passes to Disney World.
Let us not forget the real ogs and masters of range in voice acting, Tom Kenny, Grey DeLisle, Tara Strong, and Mark Hamil just to name a few.
Chris Pratt voiced Emmit in both Lego movies, and Barley in Onward. Anna Kendrick voiced the sister in Paranorman and Poppy in the Trolls movies.
is it just me or do all the characters match the vibe of the voice actors too XD
Awkwafina was definitely my favorite. Those three characters she played as are my favorite characters in the movies. Also, her voice when she’s acting is amazing and it is beyond words how I describe it. She is by far one of my favorite voice actors.
My Favorite actress is Awkwafina Because She does Sisu From Raya And Last Dragon as well as Miss Tarantula from The Bad Guys Courtney From The Angry Birds Movie 2
As of 2023 She is another Actor to portray multiple Disney characters. She voiced Scuttle in Live Action Little Mermaid. After voicing Sisu.
I love how most of the time the voice actors look like their characters
it’s actually so hard to like actually think the person is talking from the character when you can actually see their lips moving it’s like magic
Don't forget Sandra Oh also voiced princess ting ting in Mulan 2 ❤️
This is such a fun list to watch!! It’s amazing
Sandra Oh also voiced Castaspella, Glimmer's aunt, from She-Ra and The Princesses Of Power. [One of the best aunt's]
Oooooo, another She-Ra fan! Yay!
sandra oh can be the voice actress for all of the ‘tiger moms’ and i won’t complain
I know I know this is modern voice overs but for me Cree Summers is and will always be the voice over og. Nostalgic.
I'm sad Bob's Burgers was not added here for Jenny. She's hilarious even if it's for a few minutes in.
Stephanie Beatriz also voiced Gina in Bojack Horseman Season 5.
Joe DiMaggio is mine, he was Bender among other voices on TV.. and was also a character Cannach in my favourite game, Guild Wars 2
Sandra Oh!? Yang? 😩😍😍
Yep ♥️ Cristina Yang 👩🏻⚕️
FUN FACT: King Candy, Alister Cray and Duke Weasleton in Lithuanian dub was voiced by the same voice actor as well!
When i heard alan tydyk's voicing king candy I immediately recognised his voice as duke of weselton
Tara Strongs remains my favourite voice over artist. She voiced over my whole childhood
I love how Alan played Duke of Wesleton and Weasleton, it just cracks me up
Mark Hamill is my favorite voice actor. Especially as the Joker.
One of my favorite things is discovering a voice actor did a certain character, I know Alan Tudyk as Clayface and Joker in the Harley Quinn TV show but to hear he did all those Disney characters too? Talk about RANGE
Alan Tudyk is super talented!! He’s especially great in Resident Alien on Peacock
I love Stephanie Beatriz so much!!
Me too
1:45 No wonder i love Bruno 😂 he’s also Sid !
Alan Tudyk also voiced Ludo in Star vs the Forces of the Universe, Green Arrow in the first 3 seasons of Young Justice (unsure if he still voices GA, the character isn’t in season 4) and played Wash on Firefly/Serenity.
k2 in rogue one
Two what????
@@yunjin2005 k2s0 the droid from stars rogue one
Cree Summers is one of the best voiceover actors of all time and it’s offensive that she is not mentioned on this list you need to do your research all of these people book these jobs based off of their notoriety as an actor not because of their skill as a voice actor Cree has brought to life over 101 animated characters from Penny in Inspector gadget to Susie Carmichael in the Rugrats this black woman is a legend and should definitely be mentioned among this list in fact you can do a whole special on her alone
Please use periods. This was hard to read. Also, I'm not familiar with Cree Summers.
You could’ve added one more voice Ben Schwartz did, And that is Dewey Duck in the newer Duck Tales
Skidmark in Turbo
Where is Tara Strong? These people have like 2 or 3 roles… this seems like a Disney heavy list 🥱
I knew Kristen Bell has a potential to be a great voice actor because of her Gossip Girl Days
Warmed my heart to see Mona Lisa and John Ralphio back to back
Another animated character voiced by Jack Black is Milo from The Simpsons. Milo is Comic Book Guy’s rival who runs the Coolsville comic store
I'm insulted Mark Hammill was left off this list as well as Tara Strong
Jenny slate is so quick to spot I hear her voice in any cartoon..And I'm like “Thatssss herrrr”
I love Ben Schwartz! I first knew him from Randy Cunningham cartoon. From then on i followed his work and is totally funny and awesome 🤩
Ik this is based on actors who also do live performances, but i would have loved it if it included those who are just voice actors. Like Frank Welker: Fred, Scooby Doo, Abu, Megatron.....he ranges a lot, even with live animal noises.
Awkwafina also played as Zhen from Kung Fu Panda 4. And Jack Black also played as Bowser in the Mario movie
All the characters look so much alike with their voice actors
Awkwafina’s voice has always been familiar to me🤣
ikr so ez to catch
Stephanie Beatriz also voiced Gina Cazador in BoJack Horseman.
Amazing video 👌
I am addicted man 😂 i have wached every single one except soul 😂😂😂
Sandra oh was also the voice of Sun park in American Dragon Jake Long
Chris Pratt is one of my favorites, he voiced Emmet and Rex from the lego movie, Owen Grady from Lego Jurassic world, Cooper Daniels from Ben 10: CD, Jake from the 2004 Batman show, and Barley in Onward. He's also been cast as Mario for the Smash Bros movie coming out, the iconic lasagna loving cat in the upcoming Garfield movie, and he has officially signed on to play Goku in Dragon Ball Super's return after Sean Schemmel played him for 20+ years. Not to mention his characters Andy Dwyer from Parks and Recreation, Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy, his amazing work in the live action Jurassic World series, The Tomorrow War, and MANY MORE. I' a big fan as you can see, like where they filmed a scene outside of a bunker in JW was in Hawaii when I went on a trip, I stood where he stood and fell in the mud cause it was raining XD, best day ever.
I can’t imagine anyone else playing Goku other than Sean…..
@@WeakerVine Agreed, but I love Chris Pratt to much to doubt his abilities, gotta give him a chance before we judge. Like watching the new live action disney movies, it could go either way :)
I can’t believe John Leguizamo plays both Sid and Bruno! 😲😲😲🦥🧟♂️ His voice is so distinctive and adorable, that I love it! 🥰🥰🥰 P.S. He also plays Alex the Alexornis from Walking with Dinosaurs! 😍😍😍🦖🦅
No one mentioned Thomas Kenny (voice of Sponge Bob) and Jack McBrayer? Both in WOY and Duck Tales, and McBrayer voiced Felix (Wreck it Ralph)
Love that it opened *telling us* specifically about Jenny Slate with a giant spoiler despite not *showing* the spoiler.
You’re the best content creator and wow 🤩 Mirabel makes sense for her and then the Lego movie 2😻 OK you have to admit Bruno’s voice sounds really good it’s fitting for the movie but I’m just sad that he had to stay alone in the Mirabel I’m not at you for saying his room with stairs is horrible I like walking on stairs Mirabel
You could never leave out Frank Welker! I know. He performed voices for everything from Ghostbusters animated series to Scooby Doo to both Tokka and Razar in teenage mutant ninja turtles two.
Also, Megatron in Transformers franchise.
This is awesome
Jim Gaffigan also voiced Del in the Playmobil movie
Alan Tudyk is underrated! His vocal range is impeccable! 🤩🤩🤩
