*cringes*. Anyway, the first people that came to mind for me are Christopher Walken and Al Pacino.

[Tyler Durden4]

Seth Rogen's laugh
Edward Norton

[scamp2005]

Peter Fonda

Fonda also has the best walk in the history of movies, Clint Eastwood stole his walk for the "Dollars Trilogy", I think he was just trying to be Fonda in those movies, only more stylized. John Wayne also has a great walk.

[Kikabi]

Christopher Lee

Also, Ebert wrote (I think in his Shrek II review) somthing like that Rupert Everrett and Antonio Banderas are tied as having the most beautiful voices in the movies. I have to agree, except I lean towards the Spaniard.

[Frank the Tank]

Jennifer Tilly
Van Damme
Rutger Hauer
Cheech Marin
Paul Reubens

[Worthystevens]

No one else said GOB Bluth? COME ON!

[terrestrial]

Agree with the most here already listed names.


I miss:

Michael Clark Duncan (he can really deep, if he wants to)
Gary Sinise
Anthony Hopkins
Toshiro Mifune (what a voice!)

some I know mostly for a certain character or they did change a bit their voice for that character, nevertheless always recogniseable for me are:

Anthony Simcoe (ever heard him in Farscape as Ka D'Argo?)
Claudia Black (also Farscape, Aeryn Sun)
James Marsters (Spike)
Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Winchester sen. in Supernatural)

[xseanymacx]

Don't know how this was missed:

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith, V)

[cerealkiller182]

^^^Good one. Anyone who hides behind a mask usually has a good voice

Weaving, Dafoe, and James Earl Jones come to mind.

[Le_Big_Mac]

Walter Brennan
Vincent Price
Ian McKellen
Edward G. Robinson
Jerry Lewis

[SAI]

'Nuff said

[biff_debris]

Yes, Hugo Weaving rules. So does John Huston, who loaned his voice out to Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood.

[Monotreme]

Holly Hunter!

Those emphasised "R"s and "S"s were instantly reckognizeable as:
