A look at people who are best known for voice acting and do/have done at least two distinct voices in their careers. I probably left off at least a few notable names so feel free to write 'em in.

Your nominees.
I'm somewhat ignorant beyond the giants.

Since I've been watching anime, I've been amazed at how versatile some of the contemporary dubbing performers are. A number of them can give the old masters a run for their money. There are also a lot more opportunities for female voice talents to show what they can do.

I find he's recognizably John DiMaggio with every voice he does.

I was tempted to put Kevin Conroy on the poll list, but he only does one (albeit one great) voice so I had to leave him off.

Not a fan of his but I think he's a pretty decent voice actor; I find Stewie, Brian and Peter Griffin to be pretty distinct.

Don't forget Stan Smith. His variety of characters is why I gave him the nod.

True; there's also the Roger, the alien and Johann Krauss from Hellboy 2.
