So here I am, perusing the boards, and my brother in the other room is watching Transformers: Armada. I hear a voice. I think, “I recognize that voice…but from where?” Then it hit me…it was Captain N: The Game Master! I went to the imdb, not even knowing the voice actors name, went to the Armada listing, and I knew from the dialogue I heard it was the voice of a kid, not a robot. So I clicked on one kid…nope, not that one. Tried the next one…yup. He was the voice of Keven (aka Captain N) from Captain N: The Game Master. I haven’t seen that show in ten yearsm yet I recognized the voice. Scary.

No, not pathetic…geeky maybe, but aren’t we all? 🙂

I recognize voices all the time with animated stuff. But if I’m watching the show, I won’t be able to place the name until I close my eyes and listen to it. I need to separate the visual from the aural.

FYI, the voices of **Shaggy** (original Scooby Doo animated series) and **Dick Grayson/Robin** (original Justice League series) are done by **Casey Kasem**!
