Not exactly a "Wet behind the ears" situation, but I was pretty damn surprised when I went back to play Through Eternal Darkness and then saw this familiar name.
This is good, isn't it?

The fact I can't see LIQUID SNAKE in there is kind of irksome, that was another that blew me away, seeing Liquid Snake also being all those characters.

Someday I'd love to hear the story about how that happened, because how the hell did that happen?
I knew it was Ed Harris in Blops1 but I didn't know he was replaced with Keaton! Whaaaaaaat.
And Elijah Wood was Spyro?! This thread is killing me.

I thought he did a great job, personally. Elegant menace.

Wait, I thought it was just Halo 2?
I'll just assume a typo, unless he was hidden in 3.

You mean the Legend of Spyro trilogy? I thought the voice in the PS1 trilogy was Carlos Alazraqui or Tom Kenny (or both?)
But speaking of Legend of Spyro, they had David Spade play Sparx, followed by Billy West, followed by Wayne Brady
edit: Holy shit, Blair Underwood had a role in Dawn of the Dragon too, I forgot!
Steve Blum is everywhere, but my favourite role is in Wonderful 101
as the Space Fortress Jerjinga
This isn't a game, but he's also squeaky-voiced Guilemon in Digimon s3.

Michael Madsen as Daud in Dishonored. Great choice for the role, especially in light of the excellent expansions.
Dishonored had a pretty decent cast. Lena Headey, Susan Sarandon, Chloë Grace Moretz. Character actors like John Slattery and Brad Dourif.
Some of it is pretty obscure; you don't even get to hear Carrie Fisher unless
you kill the male propaganda reader

Melia in the western version of Xenoblade was played by Jenna Coleman, who's in Doctor Who. Maybe not that known among US folks, but it was pretty big news for me.
Not quite what the thread starter is looking for but I had no idea that Freddie Prinze Jr was The Iron Bull in Dragon Age: Inquisition until I saw an interview with him talking about the game. When he was in Mass Effect 3 it was easy to tell that it was him but he sounds completely different in Dragon Age.

Came to post this. It's funny, I remember someone pointing out here on GAF when she was announced as the new companion "Oh she was Melia in Xenoblade!"
At the time I hadn't played it. Fast forward to about last year when I finally play Xenoblade, I'm like "Tee-hee it's Clara."
As I've said in recent Smash threads, if they ever put Melia in Smash as either AT or even more unlikely a playable character, I wonder if they'd even be able to get her.

Didn't know this one! Persona 4's VAs were top notch, so I'm not surprised.
I'm guessing the spoiler tag was a joke, though.

I don't recall his voice specifically though (it's been ages).
This one caught me off guard this year. Was playing Grim Fandango Remastered and ran into this cherub (lower left) with a scratchy voice.......
wait, is that...... Bobby Hill?
*googles* OMG, yes, yes, it is. Double bonus, both are played by Pamela Adlon, who is Louis CK's love interest on "Louie"

Source for this? Wikipedia credits him for the PS2 era games 2006-2008.

Augustus Marks from Sons of Anarchy is Dj Professor K
why did i think that was DMX before I read the text
So the entire Heroes cast?

no fuckin way.
again, no fuckin way.
That doesn't seem versatile at all. It's pretty generic to me. It's either in a low manly voice or higher boyish voice.
Roger Craig Smith's Batman in Origins is goddamn fantastic.

When I began watching Da Vinci's Demons, Blake Ritson who plays Riario in it has done a lot of VAs for a lot of well known games. I immediately recognised his voice from Dark Souls.
Dark Souls - Griggs of Vinheim
Dark Souls II - Royal Sorceror Navlaan (that serial killer/manic sorcerer dude)
The Order 1888 - Various voices
Dragon Age: Inquisition - Various voices
Xenoblade Chronicles - Alvis
Dragon Quest VIII - Angelo

Sephiroth has an entire minute of cut dialogue, mostly quoting FF7 stuff and HOLY SHIT IS IT BAD
It is seriously awful.
Speaking of Kingdom Hearts:
-Christopher Lee playing DiZ/Ansem
-Leonard Nimoy (RIP) playing Master Xehanort
Never in all my life did I think I'd hear Christopher Lee (Saruman, Count Dooku, Lord Summersisle, Dracula) in a crossover Disney Final Fantasy game. Seriously.
Also the guy still sings for metal albums past his 70s. It's insane.
Let's see... what else...
-Neptune, the scourge of some JRPG players, is also Ed from Cowboy Bebop.
-Amanda Miller, the voice of Sully and Cherche in FE:A is also Touko Fukawa and also the new Sailor Jupiter.
-Before she was a kid, Filia(Skullgirls) and Chiaki Nanami(DanganRonpa) were SquidGirl voiced by Christine Cabanos.

Well, you guys made me realize that Neil Napier (Peter Farragut in Helix) voiced Charles Lee in AC III (which I didn't know because AC games are voiced over here in Spain), so that's something, I guess?
There a few cool differences for some games in Spanish though. For instance, Batman is always voiced by the same guy, regardless of media and actor (so the voice actor for Batman is the same in all the dark knight trilogy, the arkham series, and the upcoming Batman vs Superman movie).
Same happens with Sam Fisher, he's still dubbed by the same guy despite the actor being different in English for Blacklist.
