Noticing that Mark Hamill did the voice of Wolverine in ‘Wolverine’s Revenge’ for XBox sure threw me. And **clearly** you people don’t have a 4 year old girl in the house… From ‘Barbie as Rapunzel’ Anjelica Huston From ‘Barbie: Nutcracker’ Tim Curry From ‘Barbie of Swan Lake’ Kelsey Grammer ---

I’ll admit when I was watching _Shrek 2_ I thought it was Minnie Driver (who has done voice work) and not Jennifer Saunders doing the voice of the Fairy Godmother. ---

[Kevin Mcdonald](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0567852/) does the voice of Agent Pleakley from Lilo & Stitch, and when the character’s relatives show up, they’re all voiced by members of Kids in the Hall. 😃 ---

> [@Stark Raven Mad](#): > > Ron Perlman narrated the opening CGs for the Fallout series. Heh, I distinctly remember seeing Titan AE and trying to figure out WHERE I’d heard the voice of the kid’s father. After being annoyed by it too long, I checked IMDb, and sure enough… saw Ron Perlman voiced both (in addition to a lot of other voiceover work.) ---

[Carl Lumbly](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0525855/), who plays Marcus Dixon on _Alias_, is also J’Onn J’Onzz on _Justice League_ and _Justice League: Unlimited_. [_Batman Beyond_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147746/) has quite a few recognizable actors, including Stockard Channing, Rachel Leigh Cook and Teri Garr. [_Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233298/) also featured Mark Hamill, Angie Harmon, Dean Stockwell and Melissa Joan Hart. ---

Public TV is an excellent place to find famous actors voicing characters. Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried both have roles in “Cyberchase”. “Liberty’s Kids” (which is no longer on my PBS station, but on Fox) features Walter Cronkite as Benjamin Franklin. In fact, he has the character end his “newscasts” with “And that’s the way it is”. [Here is the IMDB listing](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337550/), because many of the guest roles are voiced by some pretty surprising people. Robin ---

On a surprise - in the other way - The voice of Slappy Squirrel (from Animaniacs) was the body model for Ariel from **The Little Mermaid** and Belle from **Beauty and the Beast** [Sherri Stoner](http://arieland.8m.com/cgi-bin/i/pictures/stoner.jpg) Definetely NOT how I pictured Aunt Slappy. ---

Speaking of Michael Dorn, the voice-acting part that _really_ blew me away was to realize that it was he who said: “I… am… Weasel!” Yes, Michael Dorn is I.M. Weasel. And it’s odd that although Mark Hamill does a lot of voice-over work, he never plays Luke Skywalker in any of the _Star Wars_ video games where the character appears. ---

> [@Rhiannon8404](#): > > Wayne Knight, Rene Aberjonois, Dabney Coleman and Ed Asner have all done voice work for Disney channel probrams. Ed Asner also did the voice of a Jedi Master in the PC/XBox game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Another “regular” actor who contributed a couple voices to that game was the guy who played Neelix in Star Trek: Voyager. ---

Another “regular” actor who contributed a couple voices to that game was the guy who played Neelix in Star Trek: Voyager. THAT’S why I recoginized so many of the voices. It’s like the Neelix guy did half of the male characters (not counting any of the party members.) And was Ed Asner the old Jedi, Jolee? (Quite possibly the coolest Jedi who ever lived.) ---

There is a fairly new ad on television with a young woman of color writing home to her mother. It shows the mother reading the letter to herself. In the background your see an image of a mother reading to a child and then the image of a teenager in school. Has anyone recognized the voice over? I think it is Holly Hunter.
