  1. I knew tom was going to be here but I wasn’t expecting him to be at number 1 cool AWESOME TOM!

  2. An actor that should’ve been included in this list is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who by Disney fans like myself know that he was the voice of Jim Hawkins in the underrated masterpiece, Treasure Planet, did the voice of the protagonist for the English dub for the 2014 Oscar-nominated Ghibli film, The Wind Rises. On another TP-related note, William Dafoe (though only an honorable mention in this lit) was going to voice the main villain in the cancelled direct-to-video sequel.

  3. Speaking of Kiefer Sutherland, I actually really love his performance on MGSV. As much as I love David Hayter’s iconic raspy voice for Snake, Kiefer is a much better choice for the the game since photorealism are more emphasized in the fifth installment. The way Hayter reads Snake’s dialogue would just break the immersion in MGSV since Big Boss’ facial propotion doesn’t look as anime-is as he was before. So it’s only logical for Kojima to get someone who can not only read the script, but also act with the script as well

  4. Kinda cheating a bit since Ghibli films use a LOT of celebs for their English dubs, but I’ll allow it. I DID know about Keifer Sutherland since Armitage III was one of my first anime as a kid. 😀

  5. for star wars episode 9 having Luke skywalker in the movie is kind of pointless and Mark Hamil himself wasn’t happy with Han Solo’s death before the end of episode 7 and with Carry fisher no longer alive to be in Episode 9 Mark Hamil kind of doesn’t really want to act in Episode 9 at all.
