** ''[[Series/{{ALF}} ALF: The Animated Series]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/ALFTales'': Mainly uses voice actors from from the Toronto talent pool with the exception of Creator/PaulFusco who reprised his role as the titular character from the original [[Series/{{ALF}} 1986 series]]

** The later ''[[Film/ErnestPWorrell Ernest]]'' films fall under this trope, as they were filmed in British Columbia, so (with the obvious exception of Creator/JimVarney) Vancouver-based actors were used.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheBerenstainBears'' (2003 series): Mainly uses voice actors from the Toronto talent pool with the exception of Vancouver based Creator/MarykeHendrikse

* ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures'' uses voice actors from The Ocean Group. The 2021 reboot web series, ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity'', uses Toronto-based and Vancouver actors, with several actors from BBA returning to the series, includingCreator/AndreaLibman returning as Lemon Meringue.

* Creator/JanRabson (an American citizen who started his career in L.A., but later took up Canadian roles after moving to British Columbia)

* ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures'' uses voice actors from The Ocean Group. The 2021 reboot web series, ''Berry in the Big City'', uses Toronto-based actors, except for Creator/AndreaLibman as Lemon Meringue, as she is from Vancouver (funnily enough, she voiced Lemon previously in ''BBA'').

* This trope is even more obvious when watching movies, series and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleroman téléromans]]from Québec. The province has a unique pop culture and many successful actors and ''comédiens'' that are mostly independent from the rest of Anglophone Canada. However, there are only so many of them and thus, it is not unusual to see the same person playing two different characters on competing channels during the same week. And even then some Québécois actors have popped up in Anglophone Canadian films & TV series.

* Ever since American production companies have noticed the gorgeous landscapes and cheaper production costs of New Zealand, the collective acting pool of Australia and New Zealand has been getting a pretty heavy workout. ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys,'' ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess,'' ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' (post ''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm]]''), ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'', ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'',''Film/TheHobbit'' and ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' are all known for this trope, and it's become a pretty fun game of actor recognition for American sci-fi/fantasy fans. It becomes an even more interesting situation when you consider that, even without the assistance of Hollywood, it's not uncommon for both Australian and New Zealand actors to cross the Tasman for roles ''in both directions''. You could easily make a game out of actor recognition.

* Creator/StephanieBeard (voice acting example, but she's probably better known as "Sugar" on Creator/{{YTV}}, though she would since expand out of this after moving to Los Angeles in the mid-late 2000s but still returns for the occasional Canadian project here and there such as ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'' and ''WesternAnimation/SuperWish'')

* Creator/MarthaMacIsaac (broke free from this when relocating to America in 2013)

* Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (best known for ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', but has since taken up Canadian roles)

* Mitchell Eisner (voice acting example)

* Almost any cartoon produced by Creator/CineGroupe will feature voice actors from Montreal's pool, particularly Creator/TerrenceScammell, Creator/RickJones, Creator/SonjaBall, and Creator/HollyGauthierFrankel. One of their series, however, ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'', had Vancouver-based voice actor Creator/IanJamesCorlett as the title character though, and American voice actors for the first season.
