Non-voice actors you'd like to hear in an anime

Postby rocklobster » Sat May 07, 2011 12:17 pm

I just thought this would be interesting. What actors do you think would be awesome in an anime or two? Disney seems to always manage to get well-known actors in their dubs, for instance.
Here's who I'd like:
Tom Baker
David Tennant
Jonathan Frakes
Marina Sirtis
Daniel Anthony (Clyde Langer on Sarah Jane Adventures)
Jack Nicholson

xDDDD

Patrick Stewart would be amazing in a dub or two. Love his voice!

....Hrm. Most of the anime I watch have high-school age characters, and honestly, I don't know that many high-school age actors at this point. I can honestly say that if Lee Thompson Young were still a teen, I would loved to hear him in one or two.

Christy Carleson Romano would probably also be awesome in a few roles.

Morgan Freeman.

He could be any character, ANY CHARACTER.

Though James Earl Jones would be fun to hear in an anime.

I agree. I want them to remake the Fruits Basket anime to follow the manga someday, since the manga story is so much deeper and stronger. I want them to keep all the original voice actors, because their voices were awesome, but there were a lot of characters in the manga that never appeared in the anime. I think she'd be a good voice actress for Rin.

Actually, you're talking about the person who played Ren on Even Stevens, right? I think she did do voice acting for at least one show... Wasn't she the voice of Kim Possible?

And, the thought of Jim Carrey in a harem anime is... pretty funny, but I think it'd be very fitting too. XD

Yep! And since she has some experience, she probably would be great as Rin in a dub of FB. She has the personality pretty close- at least, half of it! xD

Frank Welker ftw.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

He's also in Transformers as Megatron (and a slew of others) and that is kind of anime.

My cousin had a joke about that, he'd do impressions of different actors as va for dbz characters. Schwarzenegger as Goku, Sylvester Stallone as Vegeta, Samuel L Jackson as Piccollo... he had more, but I can't remember them all now.
As for the main topic... I have no idea.

He's in Disney-dub of Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, where he plays Lord Yupa.

Edit: He's also in the Steamboy English dub, but that dub is generally badly edited down from the Japanese language version.

Adam Sandler and his regular band of misfits should be used for some type of romantic comedy anime I think.

How about...Keanu Reeves? He's slated to play Spike in that rumored live-action version.

That's a role for Robin Williams. He made some recordings doing the voice of Gendo way back in the 90s. They were never released. Robin Williams is actually a fan of Evangelion in the first place.

I find his movies very mediocre however. He's kind of like Will Ferral in that way.

Hmm, I'm trying to think of actors who have good voices, because it's just not enough for an actor to be able to act on camera. They have to have an expressive, listenable voice.

I'm not going to say James Earl Jones, because he kind of was a voice actor for Darth Vader <_< What an awesome voice, but it's impossible for me to hear him without thinking of that breathing sound.

The first actor that popped into my head was actually Morena Baccarin, because her voice is beautiful. You read all these descriptions of people whose voices are like a burbling brook or whatever, but I thought such voices didn't exist...until I heard her.

Kind of along the same lines, I would have said Cate Blanchett, but she was in Ponyo :3

Hmm...maybe Christian Bale? Oh wait, he was in Howl's Moving Castle.

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!! Christopher Lee :grin: He would be soooooo awesome in an anime. The first character that pops into my head that he could do would be that old guy who's trying to control Fate or whatever in Vision of Escaflowne. Lol. But he'd be great as any kind of deep-voiced, eloquent sort of person.

Emma Thompson would be total awesomesauce in anime :3 She's so versatile, and has such a lovely British voice! She would actually make a really cool Hawkeye from FMA, come to think of it.

...That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure there are more.
