That's why you love them, that’s why you love this world, it's not a knockoff, it's not a boilerplate. There’s a specific vital life to this world that you want to step into and these characters that you want to play with, and to be with, and to meet, and that's what we bring."''

142	!!Tropes relating to Dee Bradley Baker:
143	* ActingForTwo: He provides the voices of ''all'' of the Clone Troopers in the animated ''Franchise/StarWars'' shows. Some episodes in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' have him acting for all of the Clones in a given scene, and it's taken up to eleven in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'', which centers around an elite team of clones outrunning the nascent Empire and their brainwashed brothers... who are all voiced by him.
144	* ManOfAThousandVoices: Boasts one of the most impressive voice ranges in the history of voice acting. This includes putting slightly different inflections on what is essentially the same voice when playing [[Franchise/StarWars numerous Clone Troopers]]. Not to mention his various incredible animal and creature noises. It can be said that he's basically the next Creator/FrankWelker.
145	* PlayingAgainstType: Roles that aren't non-human voices count as this, mostly notably [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries Ra's Al Ghul]] and [[Franchise/StarWars the Clone Troopers]].
146	* PromotedFanboy: Check his website and see why.
147	* {{Typecasting}}: He's usually casted as creatures and non-human voices, such as [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Appa & Momo]], [[VideoGame/{{Halo}} Gravemind]], and [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Hammond]]. He does do voices [[PlayingAgainstType outside his typecasting]] though.
148	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Frequently appeared in drag on ''Shop Til You Drop'', most notably as Grandma Curmudgeon.
