With gaming becoming more and more advanced over the years, the expectation of having a good presentation over the years has gone up with it. The same can be🦹 said about voice act꧟ing in video games, which used to be a rarity in games before the 1990s, which can now make or break a game based on performance.

Since voice acting has become so prevalent in games, develoꦇpers are going to want to track down the best in the business to bring out the best in their characters. Despite this though, there are some characters who could not be more different in personality or voice but share the same voice actor. Here are some instances of characters that are surprisingly voiced by the same person.

Updated on April 2, 2024, by Dennis Moiseyev: The most well-known voice actors working in the game industry today continue to lend their talents to a greater variety of characters and video games that truly showcase an impressive range. Some of your most fa🉐mous and iconic characters can happen to share a voice actor with another꧂ surprising character you may not have known about.

With all the games that have come out since this article was last written, there are plenty more examples to highlight.

15 Geralt A🔥nd Agent Robert Nightingale - Doug Cockl📖e

The Witcher Series And Alan Wake 2

You probably didn't expect to see Doug Cockle in any other role other than The Witcher's Geralt when it comes to video games, but he does have more to offer. He's been in the worlds of Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2 in 2023 alone, though his character's involvement with the latter game is more central to the story.

The beginning of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake 2 has you play as Cockle's Agent Robert Nightingale, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:returning from the first game fresh out of Cauldron Lake, and he becomes a jumpscare menace and boss throughout the early part of the game. His voice is raspier, scarier, and much less pleasing to hear than that of Geralt's, who would be a wonderful audiobook narrator.

14 ♛ Karl Heisenberg And Astarion - Neil Newbon

Resident Evil Village And Baldur's Gate 3

If you were to play 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil Village after playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, Neil Newbon's voice in Karl Heisenberg might be much easier to hear. These characters couldn't be more different from one another, but Newbon's vocal tone is clearly present in both, especially how they laugh. However, Heisenberg has more of an American accent with a gruff and slightly deeper voice that's a mix of Keanu Reeves and Nic Cage.

Astarion is very dramatic in his speech and has a lot of playfulness with his voice 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with the way some oꦕf his dialogue goes꧂, which also won the actor a well-deserved Game Award for Best Performance. Neil Newbon becomes completely unrecogni🍒zable as Karl Heisenberg when the boss transformation occurs.

13 ෴ Nadine Ros♌s And Polina Petrova - Laura Bailey

Uncharted 4, Legacy Of Thieves, And Call Of Duty: Vanguard

Laura Bailey is most famously known for voicing prominent PlayStation protagonists Mary Jane Watson in Marvel's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man series as well as Abby Anderson in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us Part 2, but she's also great with accents. Just look at the performances she was able to achieve with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Uncharted's Nadine Ross and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty's Polina Petrova.

Nadine Ross is an excellent character of South African descent created for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, who's an opportunistic and deceitful Shoreline mercenary working for Drake's enemy, Rafe Adler, while Polina Petrova is a female Russian sniper from COD: Vanguard based on real-life sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the Soviet Army's 'Lady Death.'

12 Mark Jefferson And Re✱iko - Derek Ph🐻illips

Life Is Strange And Mortal Kombat 1

Derek Phillips isn't the biggest voice actor in gaming around, but he's voiced some noteworthy characters already, like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Abby's dad Jerry in The Last of Us Part 2, pilot Wade Jackson in COD: Vanguard, and Lord Pendleton in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dishonored. But where you really can witness his range, by far, is Mark Jefferson from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Life is Strange and Reiko from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat 1.

While both serve as the antagonists in the story of their respective games, Mark Jefferson is a chill photography teacher (before you find out his true nature and involvement with Rachel Amber's murder) 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and Reiko is an enraged fighter, with a voice꧒ that carries a hint of a British accent and is extremely rough-sounding, almost like a growl.

11 Arthur M🍰organ And Jack Leary - Roger Clark 🥃

Red Dead Redemption 2 And Fort Solis

Roger Clark is a voice actor best known for the iconic character Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red Dead Redemption 2, but he's since been in another game as a totally different kind of protagonist. 2023's episodic narrative sci-fi game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fort Solis sees Clark as Jack Leary, an engineer on Mars needing to solve a disappearance at a mining station, and he's also joined by Troy Baker and TV's Julia Brown.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:🦋Other than one p🍸rotagonist being a cowboy in an outlaw gang during the Wild West era of US history and the other being stationed at a Mars settlement in the far future of 2080, Arthur Morgan's and Jack Leary's accents are totally different. Arthur has that deep Southern drawl, while Jack has more of that natural Irish accent from Clark.

10 🎉 Joel Miller And Pagan Min - Troy Baker ☂

The Last Of Us Part 1 And 2, Far Cry 4

Tro𝐆y Baker ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚis one of the most well-known voice actors in the industry today, so much so that most who know his work will be able to identify his voice. However, these two characters have such di💝fferent accents that most probably would not be able to tell that they are the same person.

Though they do have💎 some common ground with having high bജody counts, Joel does so out of survival while Min does it to assert dominance. The fact Baker can play two separate characters so believably really goes to show his range.

9 Edward Richtofen And The Guardian's Ghost - Nolan North

Call Of Duty Series, Destiny

Another well-known and well-respected voice actor in the industry, Nolan North has an incredible range that is apparent in these two rol🌠es.

Richtofen is the lovable, fearless, and outrageous Nazi character 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that appears in Call of Duty's zombie modes, while the Guardian's Ghost is ever cautious and more grounded. While they may sound a bit similar, North gives his all to both characters, making them all the more memorable.

8 💧 Urdnot Grunt And Sub Zero - Steve Blum

Mass Effect 2 And 3, Mortal Kombat X

Steve Blum has voiced a number of characters in cartoons, anime, and video games alike and has a distinctive gruff voice. While this same gruffness can be found in Sub Zero, the disꦚciplined and collected fighter and leader of the Lin Kuei. The same cannot be ಞsaid though for Grunt who is always aching for a fight and lacks the discipline Sub Zero has.

Most would not be able to tell Blum voices Grunt due to his voice pitch being lowered. Nevertheless, Blum's experience shines through with his portrayal of each character.

7 Ezio Auditore And Sonic The Hedgehog - Roger Craig Smith 𝐆

Assassin's Creed Series And Sonic Games

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed and Sonic gameܫs could not be more different in turns of tone and style. But they do have one thing in common, Roger Cra𝐆ig Smith has voiced the protagonists of each game at some point.

Sonic is the face of Sega and epitomizes too cool for school while Ezio is perhaps Assassin's Creed's best character but would find Sonic too cocky for his own good. The fact they are both voiced by the same person makes it all the more strange.

6 Goku And L💝ucario - Sean Schemmel

Dragon Ball Series And Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Perhaps the best-known and most loved anime hero of all time, Goku has been voiced by Schemmel for the English dub for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Ball anime and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a number of games as well. Goku has been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:requested to be a fighter in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Smash Bros. for years now but th❀ere is already a conꦑnection that most might have missed.

That connection is that Schemmel voices Lucario in Smash's fourth and fifth installments. Lucario's voice is gruffer sounding than Goku's, hence why most would not be able to tell the difference.
