Voices you recognize in WoW from other media such as movies, games, etc

The voice of Tirion Fordring is also the King of Rohan from Lord of the Rings (movie).

For me, I would have to say it was Nephrite from Sailor Moon (90’s Dub). I had never watched Naruto (Gaara). Every time I go back to watch those Sailor Moon episodes with him in it, I think “But you is Illidan…”

Was watching the Dragon Prince season 3. Then I hear this big booming dragon voice in one of the episodes. The man, the myth, the legend Chris Metzen!!! voiced the Dragon King.

Another one I notice a lot is Jonathan Adams. He voices Xuen mainly in WoW. He also voiced Tyrael in D3 and RoS. He also did Vaatu in Legend of Korra, Vulcan Simmons in Castle and was Bones’ boss in Season 1 of Bones.

And don’t get me started on Troy Baker.

I like doing MoP content just to hear Grey Delisle as she voices Taoshi. Who doesn’t love Azula?

He also does Kormac (the Templar follower) in Diablo 3 iirc.

Man Josh loves voicing princes who’s fathers were monsters. He also does Valerian Mengsk in SC2. I guess Anduin was the exception kek.

I met Troy at a Supanova in Sydney. I asked him what was it like voicing Gul’dan. He told me it was like if Benedict Cumberbatch was voicing an orc. Honestly I can see Benedict being WoD’s version of Gul’dan.

He played a character called Quark

And in Ratchet and Clank his arch Nemesis is Captain Quark. That is just so funny.

he is also the new voice of patch, the team leader of the gob squad. Personally I never imagined patch with that kind of voice. Just doesn’t fit the personality of a BA goblin.

Tony Amendola was in Once Upon a Time and also Stargate (Khadgar’s voice actor).

Jaina is Laura Bailey, and she does a LOT of VA. Funniest one is Shin Chan. She’s Shin. Hard to take Jaina too seriously now, lol.

Jaina might be an awesome, powerful, mage, but she’s also a little Japanese boy who sings the Honor and a P3nis song.

Illidan Stormrage - Liam O’Brien

I’ve heard him in tons of different things. He’s all over the place and his voice is pretty easily recognizable.

Found out fairly recently that Claudia Christian from Babylon 5 fame and others, is the voice of Xal’atath. https://youtu.be/BFGgzia76gA?t=42

I really never cared

Garrosh Hellscream and Kaptin Bluddflagg from Dawn of War II - Retribution.

Whenever I listen to Garrosh, I keep wondering when he’s going to tell me to quit muckin’ about and get back ta fightin’ da stunties an da humies, and why da zog do we got eldar in our WAAAAAGH!?

Maybe it’s just my age, but nobody has noticed Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (aka - Shang Tsung) amongst countless other roles/voice overs. Most recently as a smooth talking Jinyu bodyguard for Alliance in Naz’jatar. Similar vintage (90s pop culture) I was excited to see Claudia Christian as Xal’atath. Hope to see/hear much more in the future.

John DiMaggio is credited with it for BfA

Hearing Garrosh’s voice slip out of jiren occasionally is entertaining.

I hear Cam Clarke all the time, too, as the Blood Elf Male, and he also voices several characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic, including Tai Corden.
