one actor for all roles dude that would suck

*GuruGuru214* · 06/18/2010, 02:09 am

I'd like to direct you to HomestarRunner.com. Hell, for that matter, just look at Looney Tunes.

He's refering to that one person does all the voices, and that their voices are versatile.

*GuruGuru214* · 06/18/2010, 11:59 am

Yeah. I find this

to be insulting to the memory of Mel Blanc, as well as to Mike Chapman and Billy West. Hell, 90% of the characters on The Simpsons are voiced by Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, and Hank Azaria. One actor does not mean one voice.

And that's not to say that any of these things are better than Jurassic Park, because there's no comparison. However, there is plenty of other things that are better than Jurassic Park, and I mean other than Halo: Reach. Yes, it's a good series, but it is not the unbeatable crowning achievement in film you make it out to be.

Yeah, like Back to the Future!

Meh, he butchered Ren's voice after John K. was fired. And Fry sounds too much like Stimpy, which decreases my enjoyment of Futurama.

The guy's vastly overrated in my book.

Only a single mention of brutal legend. Shame!

ALL HAIL EMPEROR DOVICULOUS! LONG LIVE THE TAINTED COIL!

I'm a voice actor, and I find it a little degrading.

Hey, hey it's my favorite movie, but I do like the book better.

I was never allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy as a kid, so I don't have this problem at all. Anyway, he's good as Fry, but it's roles like Professor Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Zapp Branigan, and Leo Wong where he really does his best work.

Also, does his voice as the red M&M ruin candy commercials for you?

Ezny · 06/18/2010, 07:50 pm

Hey you guys didn't mention he played Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King's IT. I thought he was brilliant in that role.

I think Tim Curry could definately pull off a villain role in the JP world, he seems like he'd fit well in that universe.

Secret Fawful · 06/19/2010, 08:21 am

I also thought, villain wise, he was the best part of the Shadow too, in his brief screentime in that movie.

Here's the thing that annoys me the most -- he obviously has a great deal of talent, but I can't think of a character he voices that sounds right. For example, I think Phil Hartman, the original choice for Zapp Brannigan, would have been great (Matt Groening said his audition "just nailed it."). West's interpretation just doesn't do it for me.

I think Billy West is the #1 reason I'm not a big Futurama fan.

Yes.

I'm serious. West's version is a pale imitation of Jon Lovitz, the original Red M&M.

Plus I forgot to include Doug Funny in West's pantheon of sound-alike characters.

*GuruGuru214* · 06/19/2010, 10:39 pm

The only reason that Phil Hartman didn't voice Brannigan is because he died. I feel that West did a great job not only providing an appropriate voice to the character, but also paying tribute to Phil Hartman.

Tim Curry would be great but then I'd happily have him in any of Telltale's series.

Viva la Curry

*bubbledncr* · 06/24/2010, 08:27 am

Tim Curry was also Arl Howe in Dragon Age. Played through that game 3 times and didn't realize it till I watched a documentary on the voice actors....

G.byrne · 06/24/2010, 08:33 am

Yes... Tim Curry! Arl Rendon Howe and Gabriel Knight! Especially that season finale of Criminal Minds...

Here is a formula:

Anything + Tim Curry = Badass.

StealthWalker · 06/25/2010, 02:03 pm

Having Tim Curry being a Character in Jurassic Park would be gold. Tim Curry was also in the first episode of Darkwing Duck.

The only thing better than having Tim Curry in a Jurassic Park video game would be having Tim Curry as the player character in a Jurassic Park video game.

I think we've found a crowd-pleaser...
