GungFu: A couple of Frank Welkers from my youth:

Uni the unicorn.

And he did the voice of the little fella from Buck Rogers - the one on the left.


Ummm... wasn't Twiki voiced by Mel Blanc?

Fano: If I was the movie trailer guy I couldn't help but use that to mess with people. Ordering pizza "in a world, where I have the munchies, one man stands tall. A pizza delivery guy takes on the 30 minute or less challenge." And so forth.


*sigh* I miss Don LaFontaine. Movie trailers just aren't the same since he died.

Frank Weller is the greatest voice actor ever. When Billy West describes you as "The God of voice acting" it's kind of a big deal.

Ambivalence: Bathia_Mapes: RexTalionis: Frank Welker has been in everything. The man is a voice-over legend.

Yep, and it saddens me that a lot of people don't know who he is.

Still, it's kind of a neat honor to be the most famous man no one has ever heard of.


I'd love to be in that position. Enjoy a normal life, then, when somebody asks what your work is like, and you say "they're grrrrr-eat!" and holy farking shiat someone suddenly discovered who this Thurl Ravenscroft guy is.

He has been in every pixar movie


Cool thing about Ratz is that he was an American ex-pat in London for a while, so he starred in a few of the blockbusters that were filmed at Pinewood, inc Superman I & II and Empire Strikes Back.

The takeaway here is if you want a high per-film average, be in nothing but Harry Potter and Marvel Superhero films.

mcmnky: I am very skeptical of that Harrison Ford number. the star wars movies, Indiana Jones movies, Jack Ryan movies, Frisco Kid, etc.

I expected he'd be higher on the list.


Most of his bigger movies were made decades ago, and the numbers in that list aren't adjusted for inflation.

Directly comparing voice actors to "regular" actors in this kind of way isn't really fair/useful. Also, the list isn't adjusted for inflation, so it's doubly pointless.

He gets the Toy Story movies, Finding Nemo and possibly credit as an extra in The Empire Strikes Back.


He's in every Pixar movie. He's they're good luck charm. There's even a joke about it in a bit during the ending credits of "Cars." Which is about the only thing about hat movie that I like.

It's a little known fact that in addition to being a retired high ranking member of the Catholic Church, John Ratzenberger discovered that the umbilical cord is 90% potassium, and that common dust is 75% human skin.
