Rated X wrote:I was expecting Peter Cullen to be number one. While the Transformers brand defined him, he is truly a celebrity in his own right. He definitely has more money and star power than Weird Al in the film industry. I didnt know the Rock played Cliffjumper. That was cool. Why I totally understand how Lenord Nemoys recent passing puts him in legendary status, it was really the guy who played Galvatron in the cartoon series after the 1986 movie that defined Galvatron. The happy sounding, maniac voice worked much better for the character in my opinion than Lenord Nemoys more bold, serious voiceovers. Galvatron was a unpredictable raging lunatic and the cartoon voice was perfect.

No offense to Mr. Cullen, but saying he has more star power than Weird Al is crazy talk. Also, Cullen is a voice actor by profession, thus not a "celebrity voice actor".
I think of all of these lists, this is the list I've most agreed with, though I do think those asking for Scatman Cruthers or Robert Stack to have been on the list may have a point. I think maybe I'd take Orson Welles off for one of those two. His Unicron work is not his best, and pretty much anyone could have done it given the amount of manipulation done to the voice. It's no wonder there're so many rumors floating around that he died before recording most of the dialog and Nimoy did the rest, even if that's probably not the case.
Speaking of... Nimoy as first, that's 100% perfect. In a movie filled with celebrity voices, he stood head and toes above the rest, and turned in a stellar, iconic performance as Galvatron. And my opinion has nothing to do with him recently dying, thank you very much.

Here's a tip, before you start typing, do a little bit of research, otherwise you just end up looking like a total ignorant fool.
Oh and Cullen making millions over the years ... do you have inside knowledge of the mans finances? No? Thought not. Go sit in the corner and don't come out until you decide to be less ignorant.

Well I guess that explains why you didnt know about butchers harem. Youre too busy being a weird al mega-fan. Once again regional/cultural differences build a wall between us. I dont know how big weird al is out there or in other countries, but where I live he has always been considered a joke. Yes his videos are funny, but they pretty much cemented his legacy. Even the song he did for the 1986 G1 movie was a spoof of a serious song. And you have the nerve to say he has more "star power" then peter cullen? Cmon now....And peter cullen is the "star" of the bay series which is already 4 films strong. When you work with bay, you make millions. If peter cullen says he wants 2 million for part 5, do you think bay will say no ? He will pay the man. Transformers will not let him walk away. He will be the voice of every prime until the day he croaks...
On a side note, if I even suggested that you were an "ignorant fool" like you just called me above, I would be banned for life. In your own words...play nice.

Dare to be Stupid is an original song. It's a 'style parody' of Devo (which is a question in itself - how on this earth do you consider Devo serious in any way, shape, or form???), but not a spoof of an actual song.

I never actually heard the original song. I just know one exists. I was under the assumption weird al slaughtered it like he does every other song. You better squeeze all the charmin you can while mr. Whipple is not around...

Anthony Tiran "Tony" Todd (born December 4, 1954) is an American actor and film producer, known for portraying Ben in both the 1990 and 2014 remakes of Night of the Living Dead, Candyman in the horror movie franchise of the same name and William Bludworth in Final Destination.

Not sure I would have even considered him as an honorable mention, let alone give him the number 2 spot. I'm not saying he's a bad actor, I've honestly only heard his voice and he's good, but doesn't really seem to fit in with a group of household names. Good voice actor? Sure. Celebrity voice actor? Not so much.
I'd place him in the same ranks as Scatman Crothers and Casey Kasem, people who are famous in their own right, but got their roles because they were already fulltime voice actors, not because of their celebrity status. The other guys on the list, they aren't voice actors by trade; Crothers, Kasem, and Todd were. I doubt anyone called these guys and said "we need your name attached to this role, it'll really boost viewership!" These guys auditioned just like everyone else.
Just because you recognize someone's name doesn't necessarily make them a celebrity voice actor.

Frankly I'm insulted but that's just bias on my part for having had met him as a kid and pretty much idolizing him for a long time.
Tony Todd was hired as a voice actor after he became a celebrity fyi.

Lets not be too harsh on the poor guy, he simply didnt know who Tony Todd was. What matters most is that you know him and thus can see where I am coming from with this list. If it wasn't for Nimoy's stellar performance I would have put Todd first simply because the voice was so perfect for the character while it also being instantly recognisable to me.
And Emerge, IMDB shows you the most recent stuff first, so its easy to lose track of why someone you don't know is famous, wiki gives a more broad sense. What you did is like going to IMDB to look for Robert DeNiro and then saying that the actor is not that important since all he does is dumb comedies, spoofs and b movies (Little Fockers, Last Vegas, The Big Wedding, The Bag Man, Machete...).
And hey, now Emerge knows one of Horror's finest leading men. Check out Candyman (which I refer to in the list) when you have a chance!
