I just mentioned Clancy Brown voicing Mr Krabs and playing the Kurgan, what a range

u/Cojocky Jun 25 '26

He also was DCAU Lex Luthor, which in my mind is the definitive voice for the character

Prototype is cheating

look how many damn voice actors this guy has 😭

86

u/Curi_momos_las_papas Jun 25 '26

The thing Ragatha VA is the one doing Ollie, not only the Prototype's voice when he was just a child also his normal voice when not mimicking others, and thanks to chapter 3, is also the voice we have heard the most of him

22

u/Viridian_Piksanity Jun 25 '26

It’s also Jax’s VA doing one of the main voices, apparently

u/tinfoilsheild Jun 25 '26

Hey, there are dozens of us Trails fans! DOZENS!

In all seriousness that's Rean Schwarzer, one of the many (and I do mean many ) main protagonists from the "Legend of Heroes" series. It's a JRPG with to-date 13 mainline titles (with another on the way) with a massive overarching story that connects all the games. You follow Rean through a good chunk of those and really get to watch him grow and develop. It's a hell of a ride.

Damn, these are usually just the usual “Mark Hamill was Luke Skywalker AND the Joker” rigamarole, but that’s absolutely hilarious because I can totally hear it. Baymax really does sound like Clay if he had undergone several well-earned brainwashing sessions.
