[@jedimindglitch89]

I didn't even recognize him in half of these roles. Mark of a good voice actor

[@sainttrish7544]

How...? He has one of the easily recognizable voices 😂

[@itsaguinness]

can hear him right away. Only Coraline sounds different

[@Yahshuailove]

You took the words right out of my mouth, he is a good voice actor.

[@trasegorsuch5140]

I can.

[@Classixish]

I recognized him immediately when he voiced "Atlas" from Teen Titans :D (its not listed here sadly)

[@Mr.Ditkovich.]

Keith David and J.K Simmons don't change their voices like other voice actors, but they're still great.

[@wessmoore7894]

I’d say that there are two types of voice actors that come to mind. First are the chameleons, very versatile and ofc they disappear into their roles extremely well. Second are the mascots (for lack of a better term off the top of my head), you just know them when you hear them, but they’re just so iconic you can’t help but like them. Keith and J.K are definitely the latter.

[@PrinceFloof]

​@@wessmoore7894Their voices are the same but they definitely convey their fantastic acting through each character

[@wessmoore7894]

@@PrinceFloof oh absolutely, there’s no denying that. That’s another reason why they’re as good at what they do as they are.

The President might be the funniest side character in Rick and Morty. He consistently cracks me up.

beautifully encapsulates the insufferable narcissism of the Barlock Obamna.

...at least Droompf makes the contrast laughable when he gets narcissistic. Oh wait, i just realized "my fe77ow Americans" is the same energy as "hello fe77ow kids" 😂

[@Foodchainpodcast]

If I had a nickel for every time Keith David voiced the villain in a frog centric Disney project, I’d have two nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@astraamarante6233]

My sister introduced me to Mass Effect and I saw & heard him there, and then later recognized him for voicing Dr. Facilia even though I grew up with it and then the cat in Coraline. My 3rd exposure to his voice is now the main one I recall to when thinking about his other roles

[@shadowsofleslor2806]

I was gonna say the same thing, he plays Captain Anderson man.

[@pauliinapaasikivi4972]

Anderson is my absolute favourite npc in ME trilogy. In my opinion he should have been on this list honestly. But top 10 lists are of course just that, other people's opinions so I'm not mad, just a bit disappointed 😂 Keith Davies has such an amazing voice I could listen to him all day long.
