My Lion King Forum

Ok, since I know a lot of people here are into animated stuff (duh xD) I was wondering...do you have any favourite voice actors? If so, list them here along with the movie or TV series they starred in, what role etc. Doesn't have to be voice actors as such, if you have a favourite "regular" actor who did a remarkable job voicing an animated character, that's fine too!

Esa Saario is a great voice actor

Sebastian Cabot. He voiced Bagherra in The Jungle Book and was the narrator in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Keith David is a close second for his work on Gargoyles (as Goliath) and The Princess and the Frog (as Dr. Facilier)

I'm heads-over-heal in love with voice acting. I have so many favorite voice actors that I can't even count them all:

The late Wayne Allwine (the voice of Mickey Mouse)
Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob and etc.)
The late Tony Jay (Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Shere Khan in The Jungle Book 2)
Stephanie Nadolyn (Kid Goku and Kid/Teen Gohan in the Dragonball series)
Christopher Sabat (Vegeta, Piccolo, Zarbon, Shenron, etc. in the Dragonball series)
Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Pete, etc.)

That's just a few that I can name off the top of my head right now, but I have many more.

Meh, Don't have one, But I guess my favourite actor, Michael J. Fox for Stuart Little, cause I grew up on that movie.

Jim Cummings and Tony Jay are two of my favourites as well. I'm thoroughly impressed with Jim Cummings' performances in The Lion King and how he was able to so flawlessly imitate Jeremy Irons! I would never have guessed it wasn't him had I not known. Absolutely fascinating.
And Tony Jay as Frollo is just amazing. Such a shame that he passed away so soon (well he was about 74 ish I think? But still )

Some of my other favourites (I have loads but yeah)

Jeremy Irons as Scar
James Earl Jones as Mufasa (I hear he did a great job with Darth Vader too but I can't comment on that)
Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel (Tangled)
Eddie Murphy as Donkey (Shrek) xD
Sharon Dyall (Swedish voice actress) as Esmeralda etc. (she's done loads of stuff)

There are probably more...and to be honest there are also a few that I really like but whose names I don't know/don't remember. Gonna have to look them up on IMDB. I love voice acting.

Yeah, I agree with you. Rest in Peace, Tony Jay!

Also, I remember I am very fond of the legendary Mel Blanc (the Man of a Thousand Voices), Sterling Holloway, John Fiedler, and Frank Welker.
