His name was Clarence Nash, and he used to come to our family reunions with the donald ventriloquist dummy he used on the old mickey mouse club. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple years before i was born, so I never got to meet him personally. My favorite story about him is that when Walt Disney originally concieved the idea of mickey and donald as buddies, donald was supposed to be cheerful and friendly, and mickey was supposed to be hot headed and a bit of a troublemaker. Clarence was working as a milk delivery man, and entertained his customers with birdsongs and funny voices. Someone suggested that he go try out as a voice actor at the disney studios, and he did. The voice that he showed disney was created as a frustrated goat, but when disney heard it, a bulb lit up in his head and he asked clarence if he could make it sound more like a duck. He made some adjustments, and a-hole donald was born!

How, how, HOW is it that no one has given any love to the late great Tony Jay?? Mother-fucking MEGABYTE, people! The classiest bastard on the planet!

First a little love for two ladies: Tara Strong has to be mentioned. If you've seen a cartoon made in the last decade or two you've seen something she's done: Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Raven (Teen Titans), Timmy Turner, Ember (Danny Phantom), Princess Clara (Drawn Together), Ben Tennyson, and a score of others, not to mention VGs ("I'm Rikku, pleased to meet ya!" Cree Summers is right up there with Tara Strong, and usually right beside as well, Max, the girl friend from Batman Beyond, Foxxy Love (Drawn Together), Vexus (Teenage Robot), Elmira Duff (Tiny Toon Adventures), and various other TV, movie and VGs. Matt McKenzie has an amazing voice that I could listen to all evening. He was the second in command of the army in the FF:Sprits Within, he was in Vampire Hunter:D, he's Sir Auron (FFX) for goodness sakes. And, if it's Batman and Joker, it has to be Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Late to the party here, but…

Sputter of disbelief. Christian Bale's Batman voice is the worst thing about those movies. Christian Bale's Batman voice was the worst thing about "Batman & Robin," and it wasn't even in it. It beat out "Ice to meet you." Diedrich Bader has a better Batman voice. Give me my late pass for comment, but it has to be said: Kevin Conroy is the best ALTERNATIVE for Christian Bale?

She did Dot on Animaniacs and most of the female voices on Futurama (nothing better than Mom talking about a pressed ham). And Frank Welker is a freaking genius. And Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and the Joker, respectively. Tress MacNeille is one of my favorites.

Oceans Eleven got it right, but for something like when the Friends went to Vegas, I was all "quit letting him touch the cards! Why aren't you clearing your hands? Where's the fucking pit boss?" <br /> <br /> Still, it's not as bad as when I worked for a picture frame warehouse, and every piece of framed artwork I saw, I was like "ah, the Larson-Juhl Terrazzo L-347."

No David Hayter? Solid Snake? No? As punishment: Christina Ricci in Speed Racer, when she says "cool beans." *shiver* Wow, really? No David Hayter? Solid Snake? No?

As punishment: Christina Ricci in Speed Racer, when she says "cool beans."
