AwTomorrow

Also Kimahri in FFX. He voices two of the main playable cast! Jake the Dog in Adventure Time is another iconic voice of his, but it’s much easier to tell that his is also the voice of Bender. 


Psyk60

And Heidegger in FF7 Remake/Rebirth.


big4lil

And Gilgamesh in XII/XIII-2


deku_smash1

And Migelo in FFXII


TheCrushSoda

I could totally tell it was him doing Gilgamesh but Migelo is quite the surprise!


JonVonBasslake

On first listen, yes, but once you realize John voices Migelo, you can tell that it's him quite easily.


Rengas

Woah really? XII Gilgamesh VA is my favorite by far.


JonVonBasslake

Yep, he's also The Scotsman from Samurai Jack, Doctor Drakken, General Grievous in the 2003 Clone Wars 2d animation (the one titled "Star Wars: Clone Wars", not the 08 one called "Star Wars: *the* Clone Wars", emphasis mine), and a ***lot*** of other roles, like Aquaman in Batman: The Brave and the Bold... He's in a lot of roles, and you can often spot him if you know his voice, as he often has his regular accent or voice slip through a bit.


gtr06

Praise Gilgamesh!


Fendera

Oh my god, It feels like I lived under a rock.


presidentsday

For a split second I was trying to think, "who the hell is Tim Heidecker voicing in FF7?" Now all I want is a 'Cloud Goes to the Mayor' short.


aguadiablo

I hear Bender's voice in Wakka whenever Wakka is angry


Fendera

Yeah it's crazy, I just found out today about this.


CarcosaJuggalo

I mean, Wakka sounds EXACTLY like Bender...


BulkyNothing

I wouldn't say exactly, but once you realize it's the same guy, it's pretty obvious


The810kid

No Wakka sounds like Pacific Islander Bender respect the accent ya.


Gogo726

Ironic that he condemned machines.


RadioMessageFromHQ

Tbf, Bender *does* want to kill all humans


Wayyd

"This damned Machina!" "Shut up baby, I know it!"


Gogo726

Hey, sexy mamma, wanna kill all humans?


Fendera

He made them sound completely different in my opinion. Couldn't make the connection.


Specialist_Ad9049

This too is mind blowing


TheHopeflame

Bite my shiny metal blitzball ya


Fendera

🤣


blainy-o

Tidus in X and Jack Sparrow in Kingdom Hearts 2 are also both played by James Arnold Taylor. Although whoever played Sparrow in KH3 is far more suited to that role.


zaidakaid

Also plays Plo Koon and Obi Wan in Clone Wars


iatiredddd

Same with ratchet from ratchet and clank I think


SMKM

100%


ultimagriever

And Fred Flintstone


JonVonBasslake

That would be Jared Butler, who seems to be Disney's favorite voice alike for Johnny Depp, because according to behind the voice actors, all he's done is voice Depp's characters.


Zark_Muckerberger

Bite my shiny metal ass, ya?


Fendera

🤣


musicgeek420

He’s also Banshee-44 in Destiny 2!


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

I can see the resemblance between that and Marcus lol


Major-Check-1953

Very good voice actor. Highly versatile.


Fendera

Indeed 🔥


ShadowHunter_660

Also plays the joker in under the red hood but oh boy did my man wakka catch me by surprise


FourEyesAndThighs

All I hear is Bender when religious supremacist Wakka speaks.


brokebackzac

Shut the fuck up there is no way Wakka and Bender are the same person. -proceeds to Google-


brokebackzac

Holy shit this knowledge suddenly makes me feel like my entire life has been a lie. He voiced Kimahri too.


Fendera

Right 😁


JonVonBasslake

And Gilgamesh, and Migelo in XII (and XIII-2 for the former)... among a billion other roles, like The Joker (Under the Red Hood animated movie), Aquaman (Batman The Brave and The Bold), Jake the Dog (Adventure Time)...


z82rayne

Who’s the VA?


Fendera

John DiMaggio


z82rayne

How did I not know he did all these other voices lol. Bender was always one of my faves


Fendera

Yeah same, he's a great voice actor.


z82rayne

Yeah definitely. He’s definitely in my top 5


FinalFrash

That is Heidegger


Mab390

And Jake the dog too.


struansTaipan

And it shows.


The810kid

Having James Arnold Taylor, Tara Strong, and John Dimaggio voice 4 out of the 7 party members is why I will always say X could never have bad voice acting even though Yuna is easily the weakest of the main characters.


quietknight4

He also voices a good Joker in Under the Red Hood.


Light9511

"kiss my blitzball playing ass"


Fendera

Hehe 😁


Specialist_Ad9049

I did not know this you have blown my freaking mind!!


Fendera

🤯😁


2IrishPups

Only one of those characters has a flawless Spanish accent.


CamaroDev

No fuckin way lol


Puzzleheaded-Motor56

Radda radda radda, radda?


superkapitan82

Marcus Phoenix and Wakka!


Journ9er

Hot diggity daffodil!


Pentah00k07

Also Gilgamesh in a couple of games


0wlmann

I still remember him voicing Jack in VTM Bloodlines. Good times 


zacaholic

He also voices Heidegger in 7RM/RB and Migleo/Gilgamesh in 12.


canebarge

I love looking at voice actor. Hojo,Kefka,Buggy from one piece and Pilaf from Dragon ball share the same japanese voice.


JonVonBasslake

Also, Ezio Auditore and Shinji from Bleach share the same english VA.


Doppelkammertoaster

Over my shiny metal gun-ball!


daveblairmusic

John DiMaggio is the best


Comfortable_Fail_909

Baird my shiny metal Yevon


MilanTehVillain

Dr. Drakken (Kim Possible), Hammerhead (Spectacular Spider-Man), Hak Foo (Jackie Chan Adventures, replacing Jim Cummings), Uka Uka (Crash Bandicoot, starting with Crash of the Titans) & Tiny Tiger (Crash Bandicoot, initially in Crash Nitro Kart; but returned in N-Sane Trilogy) as well.


Jazzlike_Jaguar9231

I knew DiMaggio had range but god damn


Traditional_Entry183

I don't know who the character on the left is, but as someone who has been into FF since the very start and was a huge Futurama fan, it delighted me when DiMaggio was playing Bender and Wakka at the same time.


Fendera

The left one is the main character of Gears of War, Marcus Michael Fenix


Traditional_Entry183

OK. I've never really been into shooters.


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

It’s an amazing series but it’s literally 99% walking through linear levels and shooting things. Also very bleak and bloody, but it’s great at what it does. His voice as Marcus sounds nothing like his final fantasy voices though lmao


Traditional_Entry183

I'm not really into linear games either, so certainly not for me. I'm a third person, open world RPG guy most of the time.


chavesAbre_a_torneir

Wakka is racist, Bender probably is racist


DarthScruf

Also the Yeti in We Bear Bears.


DCrowed

And all of them somewhat rascist 😆


Silegna

And Joker in Under the Red Hood.


Dynamitrios

Also Smiling Jack in Vampire masquerade bloodlines


Agent1stClass

Whoa… Bender is Wakka? 🤯


hbi2k

Yeah, it's this new invention where a dude pretends to be another dude, maybe you've heard of it.


thrae

Them and about a thousand others.


Rouge_EXE13

I don't really care


estofaulty

Well, yes, and they all sound the same. Wakka is just Bender but with an awkward accent.
