Top 10 Voice Actors

#5 Hank Azaria
The Simpsons wouldn't be The Simpsons without Hank Azaria. Lending his voice to almost every Springfield resident who's last name isn't Simpson, Hank Azaria has given us some of the greatest cartoon characters of the past two decades! With characters like Moe the bartender, Apu, Chief Wiggum, Snake, Comic Book Guy, Professor Frink and dozens and dozens of others chances are you have tried to imitate one of his characters to show off for your buddies. Worst. Top Ten List. Ever.

#4 John DiMaggio 
You may not know his name but you have dang sure heard his voice. A hero to frat boys and stoners alike, John DiMaggio has lent his voice to video games like Gears of War, movies like Transformers and television series, most notably Bender from Futurama and Jake from Adventure Time.

#3 Mel Blanc
Without Mel Blanc the rest of this list may not even exist. Voicing several of the most legendary characters of all time Mel Blanc brought to life Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Barney Rubble and so many others there are to many to count! Mel Blanc and Legend should always be in the same sentence.

#2 Rob Paulsen
If you don't know who Rob Paulsen is let me just say two names, Yakko and Pinky. My childhood molded and sculpted over the characters Rob has brought to life. He got his break as Raphael on the 80's Ninja Turtle cartoon and hasn't stopped since. With his iconic turn as Yakko on the Animainiacs and Pinky from Pinky and The Brain and lending his voice again to a ninja turtle as Donatello in the newest incarnation Rob shows no signs of ever sloeeing down.

#1 Kevin Conroy
If you know me this shouldn't come as any surprise. Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman and will be forever in my opinion. Since he first took the role of Batman in the 1992 Batman Animated Series Kevin has voiced the Dark Knight in a variety of mediums from movies to video games to nearly every DC superhero cartoon. He is the night, HE IS BATMAN!

Top 10 Voice Actors

I love voice actors! And with the reveal of Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Jim Cummings all Cummings to Salt Lake Fan Ex I couldn't help but give you my top ten list of my favorite VO actors (That means voice over for you un-nerds)

10.Mark Hamill
Yes he is best known as Luke Skywalker but for me his greatest performance comes in the form of Batman's greatest enemy. From the Batman Animated Series, to the incredible Arkham video games.

9. Phil LaMarr
Though he had a small part in Pulp Fiction and made a name for himself on the cast of Mad TV Phil LaMarr has cemented his place as a voice over legend as Samurai Jack, Green Lantern and Hermes Conrad in Futurama

8. Tara Strong
The Lone woman on my list. Tara Strong is as powerful a voice as her last name implies. Since her starring role as Hello Kitty in 1983 Tara has voiced everything from a little kid to a superhero to a little kid superhero! Tara is probably best known for her roles as Timmy Turner from The Fairly Odd Parents and Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls 

7. Jess Harnell
The "Rock star" of the voice over world, Jess Harnell is best known for his role as Wakko on The Animainiacs.

6. Jim Cummings 
The elder statesman of voice over actors, there isn't many cartoons or animated movies that Jim Cummings has not been apart of. From Darkwing Duck to Smokey bear, to institutions like Winnie The Pooh and Tigger.
