The, "I Can't Believe They're The Same Person" Gam

Post Reply New Topic

Have you ever watched the credits for a movie or show, and reconized the name of an actor/actress that you would'nt have reconized in the movie otherwise? Some people can play the role (or voices) of 2 characters that are so different it seems impossible that they are the same!

Here are some roles that are unbelievlably done by the same person:
Spock (From the newest Star Treck movie) and Sylar (From the tv show heroes)
Agent Smith (From all 3 Matrix movies) and the voice of Megatron (From the Transformers movies)

I saw Ro Laren (don't know the actress' real name, but she was on Star Trek and BSG) in Escape from LA recently...
Agent Smith, the Elf King in Lord of the Rings...

And the masked anarchist in V for Vendetta!

I wonder if any of you are aware of Hugo Weaving's role in the highly acclaimed aussie film "priscilla queen of the desert". It is a good film and you will never look at Smith the same way again.

I might also throw in John Travolta from "Grease" and the movie "Hairspray".

I've got some that are related to (dubbed) anime voice-actors:

Gildart Jackson, who voices The Major in Hellsing Ultimate, also played Janus in Stargate.

Marcelo Tubert, who voices The Doctor in Hellsing Ultimate, also plays Ambassador Raum Paroom in Cory in the House.

Laura Bailey, who voices Schrodinger in Hellsing Ultimate, also plays Rayne in the Bloodrayne videogames.

Troy Baker, who voices Abel Nightroad in Trinity Blood, also voices Excalibur from Soul Eater and Kagan from Bloodrayne 2.

I love seeing the Firefly actors in different roles. I've seen Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk on my favorite new show, V, Nathan Fillion in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and Adam Baldwin in Full Metal Jacket.

Yeah, I've seen him in 'Priscilla'...
