[Elizabeth “E.G.” Daily.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0197354/) Plus, you know. . . like the fist of an angry god.

Did they just change IMDB? “No sir, I don’t like it!” I mean, I don’t like it whole hell of a lot.

In terms of having had the most starring roles and the best paying roles, I’d have to assume that it’s [Megumi Hayashibara](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayashibara_Megumi). Possibly the Simpsons’ people make more money, but that would only be because American prime time makes more money than Japanese. They certainly have far fewer lead roles.

> How about [Thurl Ravenscroft](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurl_Ravenscroft)? In addition to having a fabulous voice (and resume), he wins the award for best name ever…

Thank you! This is the first person that came to my mind.
