    example: Raven (Teen Titans) is Twilight Sparkle (MLP).
    Both voiced by Tara Strong. My mind hath been blown.

    Has any other VA pulled a metaphorical rabbit out of their metaphorical hat, surprising you thoroughly? Share.

    Steven Blum voiced both Leeron from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Amon from The Legend of Korra. He was also Guilmon from Digimon Tamers! The guy's range is pretty fucking versatile. It's scary.

    Coleen Clinkbeared voiced Android 18 and Gohan from DBZ Kai, and Riza Hawkeye from FMA.

    Tara Strong also voiced Rikku in KH2, FFX, and FFX-2.

    EDIT: Sonny Strait voiced Maes Hughes from FMA and Krillin from DBZ

    Try this on for size:

    In the original DBZ, Chris Sabbat voiced Vegeta, Piccolo, Jeice, Burter, and about 10 other characters.

    Also: Ed Elric=Broly

    I don't think you get what versatility means.

    All of those voices are pretty similar: gruff, sounding angry'intimidating for the most part, and the main difference just being how deep they are.

    Vic Mignogna doing Edward and Broly though, that's more along the lines of versatile.

    Troy Baker voiced Kanji and Shadow Kanji from Persona 4. They sure as hell don't sound the same when they talk to each other.

    Billy West is also pretty awesome. In Futurama alone he was the Professor, Fry, Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan, Nixon and half of any background/supporting characters you see.

    Then there's Mark Hamill. The Joker and Master Eraqus sound nothing alike.

    [video=youtube;a_uokIipTxs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_uokIipTxs[/video]
    Also +1 for Grey DeLisle, I think she was also Vicky from FOP.

    Morgan Freeman voiced Bubbles from PPG and narrated the beginning of life how about that.

    EDIT:
    Thnx Stardust for actually reminding me of one.
    Claudia Black voices Morrigan from DA:O and Admiral Xen in Mass Effect 2 but just listening to them you know its her. But she also voiced Matriarch Aethyta who sounds nothing like them

    edit - upon further research you have led me to the stunning revelation that Tara Strong also voiced Bubbles and Timmy Turner.

    No way? RLY? My favorite 10 Year old hero, Powerpuff Girl, Teen Titan, and Party Member from FFX/FFX-2 all voiced by Twilight Sparkle?
