Phil LaMarr, Kevin Michael Richardson, John DiMaggio, and Tom Kenny are all top of the top tier. That's just to name a few.

Voice Actors who are completely different than you pictured them

Yup, it's done to avoid recasting generally as a kid would hit puberty and lose the voice over time. Unfortunately in Gumball's case it means that the following season will have brand new kid voice actors for both Gumball and Darwin.

WHAT? This guy voices The Heavy *AND* he's the same one voicing Shadow Shaman?
I really couldn't see this coming.
He's great by the way.
I knew there was confusion about her VA before, but has it been resolved/confirmed? At first, before the P4 anime was released in English, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn was said to be the voice for Naoto in the anime, but now it's apparently Romi Park?
I'd like to have a clear answer on it, but last time I checked people weren't sure whether it was Susan Dalian, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Megan Hollingshead
Edit: Wait, Romi Pak is the Japanese VA, so that means McGlynn actually is the anime voice for Naoto, which is clearly different than the voice in the actual game. We still don't know who her VA is.
Romi Park is the Japanese voice, she has no involvement in the English dub.

I was more shocked because I used to watch a lot of 'Living Single' when I was a kid due to lack of cable
I always wanted to see a God of War/Living Single Crossover.
KHADIJAAAAAAAH! YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THIS!

Yep, so I see now from discovering her actual name "Romi Pak."
Guess there's still no clear answer yet.

For some reason I never imagined Kratos to be voiced by a black guy.
Haha, Kyle is Kratos

Demoman and heavy are the same guy? My life has been a lie!

He also voiced Lagerfeld in Resonance of Fate and Vigoro in Skies of Arcadia
speaking of Skies, Fina's actress Julissa Aguirre who also voices NiGHTs in JoD and SASRT totally surprised me:

Can't believe this wasn't on the first page.
Does a ton of other voices too.
And in things no one is surprised by

Ooh I thought of a good one.
She did a really convincing 9-year-old girl.
This is just wrong.

For him my moment was when I found out he was Adult Gohan and Aizen (Bleach)

I dunno, it's pretty close in comparison to some of the others listed already:

Woah, Marluxia and Bloo have the same V.A.?

Holy shit, Living Single guy is kratos?For some reason I never imagined Kratos to be voiced by a black guy.
I used to love that show.
True story. I played Final Fantasy XIII, but I wasn't aware of who Troy Baker actually was until this year with Bioshock and TLoU. I know he has a large background of work in anime, as well.
But Joel is just such a standout role for him.
Fran from FFXII
Troy Baker is to handsome as Fran's voice actress is to...?

Yeah, I was expecting the prettiest woman alive when I looked her up. Nicole is pretty, but I was expecting more.
Her voice for that game is sexy as hell.

Not game related (I think) but the guy who voices Archer and Bob (from Bob's Burgers) doesn't look anything like I pictured him.
I got nothing...
Heh, at a "Archer Live" show earlier this year, they actually did a pretty funny animated skit where Archer got reconstructive surgery and ended up looking like H. Jon. I think it's supposed to be an extra on the next DVD/Blu-Ray set.
My god.
Always loved this guy's voices, and for some reason was surprised when I saw he was just a normal-looking fella.

Vs.
Only in KH1. It's a shame really, his voice is considerably better than the current voice

Uh, the GTA V voice actors look so much like their characters it's hard for me to believe that the characters weren't modeled after the voice actors to varying degrees, Ned Luke being the most similar to his character.
Its a common enough practice to model characters after the voice actors. Maybe not 1:1 likeness but have some basic face structure stuff.
Naughty Dog made Drake look a little big more like Nolan North in Uncharted 3 for example.
I guess it helps for performance capture (recording motion and VO at the same time) which I think both studios use.
Trevor's actor does have those crazy eyes though.
I met T.C Carson at the Gamestop Expo. Dude is down to earth as all get out. He signed my GOW Ascension poster and I asked him if people ask him to do the Kratos voice all the time and he replied word for word "Hell yeah man, it's kool but people don't realize I have to warm my voice up to do that shit, especially all day"
He was drinking water and eating Flaming Hot Cheetos. I'd love to hang out with him at a bar or something.

Is anyone genuinely surprised about this after hearing the voice of him in Japanese. You'd have to be brain-damaged to think that was coming from a man.

I thought it was an actual woman that did Granny's voice lol

Would have never guessed.
My mind was blown when I found that out for some reason.

Love Hayter, and hope he has some inclusion in MGSV, but I'm actually ok with Keifer too
Cole McGrath
Dudes like 4ft 10
He's also currently playing J. Edgar Hoover in Boardwalk Empire!
Yeah, traditionally when it's a kid's acting voice, it's a woman behind it. Before the age of radio even. Real kids aren't great actors.
Loonette? hahahah ahhhh yeah...her. Probably the source of my clown makeup fetish.
This is Sam Riegel, the guy who did Phoenix's voice in UMvC3 (thus answering your latter question):
Phoenix Wright and Ben Judd. Though I'm not sure if he's voiced the character since leaving Capcom.
:lol :lol That's amazing.
How the hell did I not recognize Dana Snyder as Granny

The new Snake model actually looks a lot like Keifer.
Current model for Max Payne was heavily modeled after his voice actor James McCaffrey:
It's a really good fit for the new face of Max Payne, if you ask me. The previous two Max Payne models were Sam Lake and Timothy Gibbs (a soap opera TV star).
