10	Examples of InkSuitActor in WesternAnimation.
11	----
12	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'':
13	** Mr. X looks very similar to his voice actor, Creator/{{RuPaul}}.
14	** At various points in "[[Recap/AmphibiaS3E16FroggyLittleChristmas Froggy Little Christmas]]", an animated version of Creator/RebeccaSugar sings about Christmas.
15	* Depending on the version of ''Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'', Dave Seville will usually resemble his voice actor. Back in ''WesternAnimation/TheAlvinShow'', Dave looked like Ross Bagdasarian Sr., right down to the cleft in his chin. When Ross Bagdasarian Jr. took over from ''WesternAnimation/TheChipmunks'' and onward, Dave was redesigned to look more like him, with a leaner face and slightly less conservative hairstyle.
16	* Gene Belcher from ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' looks like an adolescent version of [[TheDanza Eugene Mirman]]. Not only do they both share the same name, but they both have similar hairdos, builds and complexions. There's also Tina, who looks like a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] version of her voice actor Dan Mintz. Larry Murphy also resembles Teddy, albeit having more hair in real life.
17	* Dr. Blight from ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' happens to resemble her voice actress, Creator/MegRyan.
18	** Most of the villains resembled their voice actors.
19	* ''WesternAnimation/BrunoTheKid'' has the title character use a CGI alter ego who resembles his voice actor, Creator/BruceWillis.
20	* Creator/RickMoranis in ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh''.
21	* Creator/JohnCandy in ''WesternAnimation/CampCandy''.
22	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'':
23	** Molly resembles a preteen Creator/AshlyBurch.
24	** Patty is designed to look like an elderly Creator/JeniferLewis
25	** Scratch is basically a ghost version of Creator/DanaSnyder without the glasses.
26	** The mayor is a wider version of Creator/PattonOswalt.
27	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' does this a ''lot''. Examples: Fred Rogers as an aardvark ([[InformedSpecies or as close to one as the Reads are]]), [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Art Garfunkel]] as a moose, Yo-Yo Ma as a rabbit, Creator/NeilGaiman as a cat.
28	* Ed Wuncler from ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' animated series bears a striking resemblance to his voice actor, Creator/EdAsner.
29	* Music/WeirdAlYankovic has multiple examples, many bearing a strong resemblance to him as he looks in real life -- so many that he recently tweeted a collage of most of them, which you can see [[https://twitter.com/alyankovic/status/632644547785297920 here]] [[note]]In his tour for Mandatory Fun, he plays bits of the cartoons in which he has voice acted[[/note]]:
30	** The creators of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' mentioned that their version of Wreck-Gar's facial features were partially modeled after those of his voice actor, Music/WeirdAlYankovic. Chins were TFA's feature of choice and it helps that Al has a pretty impressive one of his own.
31	*** In fact, the Autobots' human forms in the ''Transformers Animated'' episode "Human Error" all resemble their voice actors, Creator/DavidKaye (Optimus Prime), Creator/BumperRobinson (Bumblebee), Creator/BillFagerbakke (Bulkhead), Creator/CoreyBurton (Ratchet), and Creator/JeffBennett (Prowl), respectively.
32	** Yankovic also appeared in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' as a minstrel at a medieval festival.
33	** Yankovic also provided his voice for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. His character, Cheese Sandwich, is Weird Al himself as a cartoon pony.
34	** Yankovic has appeared as himself on ''several'' iterations of ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''.
35	** He did voice acting for Dr. Screwball Jones on a second season episode of ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' and the character design has many Al-like visible traits.
36	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' episode "Only Human", the main Autobots are turned into humans and they resemble their voice actors, Dick Gautier (Rodimus Prime), Neil Ross (Springer), Jack Angel (Ultra Magnus) and Creator/SusanBlu (Arcee).
37	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
38	** This might be an inversion, but take a look at [[http://i3.digiguide.com/p/0809/12148-DanCastellaneta-12210549310.jpg Dan Castellaneta]] sometime. Even though he is much thinner than Homer, there's no denying the similarity in hairstyle (or lack thereof).
39	*** The difference is more notable when Creator/DanCastellaneta actually appeared as ''himself'' in a ''Simpsons'' episode. Naturally, Homer mocks him.
40	*** [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]] appeared in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E22TheOttoShow The Otto Show]]" in Ink Suit Actors, just as other bands have, except Spinal Tap are played by actors including Creator/HarryShearer whose cartoon face gets so dominated by the facial hair and wig that he ends up looking nothing like himself.
41	** The woman who goes on a date with Moe in the "Love-Matic Grampa" segment of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E24TheSimpsonsSpinOffShowcase The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]" looks a lot like Creator/TressMacNeille, who voiced her. They mention it in the DVD commentary, so it was probably intentional.
42	** Creator/TopherGrace voiced Donny, the new kid hired by Skinner to infiltrate Bart's gang, in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E13TheDebarted The Debarted]]".
43	** Creator/SarahSilverman looks an awful lot like Nikki in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS21E15StealingFirstBase Stealing First Base]]".
44	** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E13SmartAndSmarter Smart and Smarter]]", Simon Cowell played a character so like himself it was odd to hear him called "Henry". He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it himself during the credits.
45	*** Homer's friends [[Creator/JohnWaters John]] from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E15HomersPhobia Homer's Phobia]]" and [[Creator/RayRomano Ray Magini]] from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E16DontFearTheRoofer Don't Fear the Roofer]]" were just as obvious.
46	** Springfield's sanitation commissioner, Ray Patterson, closely resembles Creator/SteveMartin, his voice actor for his only appearance, "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E22TrashOfTheTitans Trash of the Titans]]."
47	** Marge's convict friend [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E4IDontWannaKnowWhyTheCagedBirdSings Dwight]] bears a close resemblance to Creator/SteveBuscemi, who's a good sport about the other characters calling him "needy and bug-eyed."
48	*** This doubles as a case of CelebrityParadox, as Buscemi had previously appeared on the show as himself, albeit in a fantasy musical sequence.
49	** [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E4BurnsBabyBurns Larry Burns]] ''is'' Creator/RodneyDangerfield.
50	** Creator/StephenColbert is one of several guest stars on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' not to play himself, but life coach Colby Krause does have the same hair, voice, glasses and fashion sense.
51	** Also Creator/RickyGervais as Charles in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E15HomerSimpsonThisIsYourWife Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife]]". Gervais also wrote the episode and Charles is somewhere between a archetypical Gervais character and a SelfParody thereof.
52	** Mr. Bergstrom from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E19LisasSubstitute Lisa's Substitute]]" bears a resemblance to Creator/DustinHoffman. They even threw in a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheGraduate''.
53	** The ballet teacher from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E17HomerVsPattyAndSelma Homer vs. Patty and Selma]]" was drawn to look like Creator/SusanSarandon.
54	** Drag queen Queen Chante in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS30E7WerkingMom Wesking Mom]]" strongly resembles Creator/{{RuPaul}}.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' often had stars with slightly altered names ("Ann-Margrock", et al.), though this shades over into Simpson-like Special Guest territory since the characters were so blatantly their actors.
56	** Fred Flintstone was drawn to closely resemble original voice actor Alan Reed. This becomes obvious when one watches Reed's cameo appearance in ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys'', which was released the same year ''The Flintstones'' debuted on TV. Wilma [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hfirdv34n7A/TH4oqxwxM0I/AAAAAAAAGNM/PbUd_f5z4AI/s1600/FRED+WILMA.jpg looked a lot]] like her original portrayer, Jean Vander Pyl (who also had red hair).
57	* Creator/RicardoMontalban as Armando Gutierrez in ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''. [[ActorAllusion He even quotes some of his old lines]] from ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.
58	** Cosgrove ''is'' Creator/EdAsner.
59	*** Disturbingly enough, so does Granny Goodness, [[LarynxDissonance played by Asner]] in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''. Even more disturbingly, if you read the original Creator/JackKirby comics, you'll see that it's not that much of a stretch to make Granny look like Creator/EdAsner.
60	** Dr. Mystico looks a ''lot'' like Creator/TimCurry.
61	** Professor Jones looks like Jonathan Harris -- and he's [[{{Expy}} essentially]] [[Series/LostInSpace Dr. Smith]] (people even [[ActorAllusion ask if he was in the show with the robot]]).
62	** Plus Ben Stein in the role of H.A. Futterman, the man who explains RelaxOVision.
63	*** Ben Stein's characters ''always'' look like Ben Stein.
64	** These are probably LampshadeHanging, considering the kind of show ''Freakazoid'' was.
65	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'':
66	** Avery Bullock, Stan's egocentric and somewhat incompetent boss, is so similar to acclaimed Creator/WilliamShakespeare[=/=]''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Star Trek]]'' actor Creator/PatrickStewart that it becomes a joke to see an obviously British individual in charge of an '''American''' national security agency. This was [[LampshadeHanging made even more obvious]] in an episode where the character attracted a short-lived [[spoiler: (literally -- he later kills her when she approaches him from behind and his [[DamnYouMuscleMemory combat instincts kick in]])]] girlfriend with his "sexy accent". Creator/SethMacFarlane has claimed that one of the challenges of scripting the character is getting Patrick Stewart to [[TypeCasting act completely out of type]]. Possibly the best success he's had is simply [[RefugeInAudacity having Patrick Stewart say the word "reacharound"]].
67	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7EJU3i8CxQ This]] is a video of Scott Grimes singing on a public-access talent show in 1986, at around age 14. Put a pair of glasses on him, and he practically ''is'' a live-action Steve Smith.
68	** Principal Lewis is an animated version of Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson.
69	** Other examples are Creator/ForestWhitaker and Music/CeeLoGreen's guest appearances.
70	** Tommie Tokes is Music/SnoopDogg as a marijuana-themed [[CharlieAndTheChocolateParody Willy Wonka]]. His helpers are even called "Snoopa-Loompas".
71	* The Warden of ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' looks suspiciously like his voice actor, David Wain. All he's really missing is the suit/hat combo and the yellow tint on his glasses.
72	** Oddly, when he ''does'' get [[MediumBlending medium blended]] into live-action (at the end of "Dream Machine"), he's instead portrayed by the lead singer of the band Les Savy Fav.
73	** In an earlier episode of ''Wainy Days'', David Wain first ends up in prison, then appears dressed very similarly like the Warden. Draw your own conclusions.
74	** In the second season episode "Ghosts", Creator/JohnWaters voices some Aztec shaman that looks like him.
75	* Many characters (usually the narrators and main characters) in the mostly stop-motion [[Creator/RankinBassProductions Rankin/Bass]] holiday specials of the '60s and '70s were modeled after their voice actors. An example is Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman, in ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'', so much so that Ives is now more famous for that role than for his folksinging or his Oscar-winning turn in ''The Big Country'', even though he only provides a voice here. Look at a picture of the guy, and then at the snowman, and you'll see why people think of the snowman as ''being'' him rather than simply being played by him.
76	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' had a few examples.
77	** In "Tiny Toon Music Television", the segment "Just Say Julie Bruin" featured a buxom FunnyAnimal version of Julie Brown in a parody of her MTV show who was voiced by ''another'' Julie Brown (American comedienne, singer, songwriter, etc) but not the British Actress that was on MTV. In the same episode, a Music/TheyMightBeGiants song is played by Plucky and Hamton -- both redrawn to be caricatures of the two Johns. Flansburgh, who is somewhat heavyset, was apparently offended at being drawn as a pig. In the DVD commentary, he wondered why he only watched it once, and on seeing it again commented that was why.
78	** The first segment of the episode "New Character Day" had The Roches, a musical group consisting of three sisters, play themselves as anthropomorphic roaches.
79	** In "Henny Youngman Day", comedian Henny Youngman plays an anthropomorphic chicken version of himself, serving as a substitute teacher for Daffy Duck's class.
80	* This was the original plan for ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey". The Gnome was to have been voiced by Creator/JackBlack, and was even physically based on him, though by the time recording came around, Black was too busy to do his part, so they found the PoorMansSubstitute in the form of Creator/JessHarnell, making it into NoCelebritiesWereHarmed.
81	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}'' looks like her voice actress Creator/PamelaAnderson. Given that a major part of this series is about a well-endowed stripper turned crime-fighting ActionGirl...
82	* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'', most of the celebrity cameos are playing people, be it other celebrities, established ''South Park'' characters or new characters, who look nothing like themselves. The exception is Creator/GeorgeClooney, who voices Dr. Gouache, who bears a resemblance to Clooney. This may be because Dr. Gouache is a parody of Clooney's ''Series/{{ER}}'' character.
83	* ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'': Sunny Bridges bares quite the uncanny resemblance to [[Music/OutKast Andre 3000]].
84	* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
85	** The creators admitted that they created the character of "Motor Ed" to look and act like Creator/JohnDiMaggio because they thought his off-mike personality had great comedy potential.
86	** Ricardo Montalban gets his usual treatment as Senor Senior Sr.
87	** Creator/AdamWest was clearly the visual model for the Adam West {{expy}} Timothy North, aka The Fearless Ferret. The whole ep was an AffectionateParody of the '60s TV ''Series/Batman1966'', with West playing a delusional actor who thought he was the superhero he played and roped Ron into taking on the role as well.
88	** Cheese and crackers, Barkin looks a lot like Creator/PatrickWarburton.
89	** Monique bears more than a passing resemblance to Creator/RavenSymone.
90	* There's a whole ''mess'' of this on ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':
91	** [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/Drv65.jpg Dr. Venture]], [[http://billf.reallifehosting.com/billf/images/urbanidevo.jpg James Urbaniak]].
92	** [[http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/brock2004812-05_1092303677.jpg Brock Samson]], [[http://gloobts.com/site/images/stories/lomo/patrick_warburton.jpg Patrick Warburton]].
93	** [[http://www.venturebroswiki.com/vbw2/images/e/e4/Impossible.jpg Professor Impossible]], [[http://darkentriesdjd.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/stephen-colbert.jpg Stephen Colbert]].
94	** Inverted with hetero (they maintain) life/business partners Pete White and Billy Quizboy look more than a little like creators Doc Hammer and Chris [=McCulloch=] (AKA Jackson Publick), with added physical deformities. An inverted example because each character is voiced by the OTHER voice actor.
95	* Creator/BruceTimm's toy store owner in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE18BewareTheGrayGhost Beware the Gray Ghost]]". This episode also featured [[AdamWesting Adam West as an actor who can't get work because he was typecast by a costumed crime fighter show he did decades ago]].
96	** As the series itself wore on the characters started to resemble their voice actors more and more, it doesn't hurt that some of them already looked similar to those playing them, special mention goes to Richard Moll and Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Music/PaulWilliams as The Penguin, and Creator/RonPerlman as Matt Hagan/Clayface.
97	** ComicBook/TheJoker had a ''lot'' of his mannerisms on the show inspired by Creator/MarkHamill's gestures while in the recording booth, as the lead animator actually brought in the team to watch his delivery of lines for inspiration.
98	** Harley Quinn, the Joker's lovable henchwoman, was based on her voice actress, Creator/ArleenSorkin (specifically on an episode of ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'' where Sorkin dressed as a SexyJester in a dream sequence). The producers were apparently amazed that she still talked to them.
99	** Rossum, the creator of H.A.R.D.A.C., looks exactly like his voice actor, William Sanderson.
100	* A debatable case: Is Amanda Waller in the DCAU modeled on actress C.C.H. Pounder, or is it just that to get the right voice they needed an actress the same physical type as the character?
101	* ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' has the most celebrity guest stars of the entire DCAU, all of whom bare a striking resemblance; Shaquille O'Neal, A.J. Mclean, Karl Malone, and Li'l Romeo. The villain Replikon also resembles his voice actor, the rapper Music/{{Coolio}}.
102	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
103	** In "The Mirror", the gargoyles' human forms were made to resemble their voice actors, according to show creator Creator/GregWeisman.
104	** Elisa bears more than a passing resemblance to Salli Richardson.
105	** BigBad David Xanatos averts this via weird coincidence: Although he bears a striking resemblance to his voice actor, Creator/JonathanFrakes, he was designed ''before'' anyone had been considered for the role.
106	** RecurringCharacter Halcyon Reynard looks a little like his actor, Creator/RobertCulp.
107	** Elisa's father, Peter Maza, is a dead ringer for his voice actor, Michael Horse.
108	* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has Coltrane, who debuts without a voice in "The Best Lazy Day" as the guitarist in Jeremy's band and an apparent love interest to Stacy. Later, shortly after Corbin Bleu became his voice actor, Coltrane reappeared with a new look that gave him better resemblance to Corbin.
109	** In addition, the manager of the Hawaiian hotel is modeled after Phill Lewis, who voices him. (Also an ActorAllusion, since the character is basically [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Mr. Moseby]].)
110	** In the episode "Live and Let Drive", The guys from the UK version of ''Series/{{Top Gear\|UK}}'' make an appearance They even matched a typical wardrobe for the guys. Hammond is wearing a dark suit jacket over a white button up shirt, Clarkson has tan suit jacket and white shirt, and James May is wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt. An image can be seen [[http://fiz-x.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/The-Top-Gear-boys-on-Phineas-and-Ferb..jpg here]]
111	* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''
112	** Tiny Nose/Tinella Nosa is a self-insert of the show's creator Dana Terrace, sharing her hairstyle.
113	** Main character Luz Noceda looks very similar to her voice actress, Creator/SarahNicoleRobles.
114	* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
115	** In the early 1940s, Elmer Fudd was temporarily redesigned for a few animated shorts to be more portly like his voice actor at that time, Arthur Q. Bryan.
116	** Creator/JuneForay provided the voice of Witch Hazel, and she was used as the model for Hazel's beautified form at the end of ''Broom-Stick Bunny''.
117	** The 1940 short ''Africa Squeaks'' features a parody of bandleader Kay Kyser called "Cake-Icer", and they actually got the Ol' Professor to voice himself.
118	** The 1959 short ''The Mouse That Jack Built'' had the cast of ''Radio/TheJackBennyProgram'' playing animated mouse versions of themselves.
119	* Five on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'': Mr. Turner is an animated caricature of Creator/DaranNorris, who even reprised the role in [[Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner live-action]]. Teen pop idol Chip Skylark is Music/{{NSYNC}} member Chris Kirkpatrick in animated form. Norm the Genie is modeled after, [[TheDanza named after]], and voiced by former ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' member Creator/NormMacDonald. Superhero "The Crimson Chin" is modeled after and voiced by Jay Leno, whose most prominent feature is his chin. Finally, Dr. Rip Studwell looks like Creator/ButchHartman, the series creator who also does his voice.
120	* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Flash and Substance", Creator/MarkHamill voices the Trickster, a [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]] villain modeled on the actor who played him in the 1990s live-action series -- Creator/MarkHamill. The Trickster being an expy of sorts for the Joker. Who in the wider DC Animated Universe is played by (you guessed it) Mark Hamill.
121	* Ricardio on ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is a rather creepy-looking example. Just takes Creator/GeorgeTakei's face with extreme detail and put it onto a cartoon heart.
122	* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'''s numerous celebrity guest stars occasionally played themselves, but whether or not they did, their characters looked like them the majority of the time.
123	** Dale was drawn to look like Creator/RobertPatrick who was originally supposed to play him.
124	** John Redcorn was also reportedly modeled on Victor Aaron, his original voice actor.
125	** Octavio is essentially an animated clone of his voice actor, Creator/DannyTrejo.
126	* Richard Simmons as Coach [[PunnyName Salmons]] in ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks''.
127	* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' has Creator/JackBlack as Larry Hardcore/The Pusher and Creator/LukePerry as Ponce de Leon.
128	* In ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', the gang's teacher, Mr. Simmons, is a dead ringer for his voice actor, [[Series/{{Frasier}} Dan Butler]]. This is especially noticeable because the show has an extremely idiosyncratic character design, to say the least.
129	* Creator/JasonGriffith of Creator/FourKidsEntertainment fame has joked that all of the voice cast for ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'' look like their characters.
130	* ''WesternAnimation/TheThirteenGhostsOfScoobyDoo'' features Creator/VincentPrice as "Vincent Van Ghoul", a sorcerer drawn as a near-exact likeness.
131	** ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'' used a number of celebrities in cartoon form, most notably Creator/DonKnotts (although Don Adams and Music/SonnyAndCher aren't the most likely people to be seen on screen with Mystery Inc. either). Season two of Hanna-Barbera's ''Wait Till Your Father Gets Home'' had guest stars in cartoon form as well.
132	** ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndKissRockAndRollMystery'' features this for {{Music/Kiss}}.
133	** Creator/FrankWelker, Nicole Jaffe, and Stefanianna Christopherson bore more than passive resemblances to the characters they originated on the original ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' (Fred, Velma, and Daphne respectively). Nicole Jaffe in particular would have looked just like her character if she didn't dye her hair blonde or wear contacts (notably, she even wore her hair in the classic bob style at the time as well). Also, Velma's quirk of loosing her glasses was even based on a real incident involving Jaffe that occurred during an early table read.
134	** Creator/MatthewLillard, Shaggy's current voice actor, does make a striking resemblance to the lanky teen. Especially when he portrayed as Shaggy in the first two live-action films.
135	* Many of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' cast happen to look like the characters they played. They commented on this on a documentary they did for the Disney Channel.
136	* According to the Audio Commentary, Eunice from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Proposition Infinity" is modeled after the episode's director Crystal Chesney-Thompson. The brief on the character apparently was that she should look "girly, but nerdy." Animator's response? "Oh, she should look like Crystal then!"
137	** In the "[[WhatIf Anthology of Interest II]]" segment where Bender is turned into a human, his human form is modeled on his voice actor John [=DiMaggio=].
138	* Now-cancelled Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger project ''WesternAnimation/TheGovernator'' blends this with NoCelebritiesWereHarmed, as the main character ''is'' a fictionalized version of his voice actor (basically Arnold if he decided he wanted to be [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]])--but animated versions of Schwarzenegger's wife and children, who ''aren't'' in the acting business, will also be featured. Alas, the project was shelved due to Arnold's troubles in his personal life.
139	* Benny the Ball in ''WesternAnimation/TopCat'', voiced by Maurice Gosfield, is modelled on Private Doberman in ''Series/ThePhilSilversShow'' ... [[CastingGag played by Maurice Gosfield]].
140	* Zhao from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' looks quite a bit like his voice actor, Creator/JasonIsaacs. Co-creator Micheal Dante [=DiMartino=] confirmed in an [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/818/818284p1.html interview]] that when creating Zhao, he was inspired by Isaacs performance as a villain in ''Film/ThePatriot2000''. He asked the casting director to get "someone like Jason Isaacs" for the role, and she ended up getting Isaacs himself instead.
141	** Master Piandao does not look like his voice actor, Creator/RobertPatrick. He ''does'' look like Sifu Kisu, the martial arts consultant for the series. This was an intentional tribute by the animators: since Piandao is an expert martial artist and teacher, they took the opportunity to have Sifu Kisu appear more-or-less AsHimself.
142	** The [[http://static.wikia.nocookie.net/avatar/images/9/97/Scary_prisoner.png/revision/latest?cb=20140215112602 bald prisoner]] from "Avatar Day" pretty clearly resembles his voice actor [[http://static.wikia.nocookie.net/avatar/images/f/f9/Jason_Miller.png/revision/latest?cb=20111115013354 Jason C. Miller]] (at least how he appeared back when the episode aired, nowadays Miller sports a beard).
143	** Tenzin from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' bears more than a slight resemblance to his voice actor, Creator/JKSimmons, to the point where you could describe him as "J.K. Simmons with airbending tattoos and a beard".
144	** Zaheer from ''Korra'' also closely resembles his actor, Music/HenryRollins.
145	* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', Unity is acquainted with a different hive mind, this one a parodic {{Expy}} of The Borg from ''Franchise/StarTrek''. Its spokesman is voiced by Creator/PattonOswalt and looks like a cybernetic caricature of him.
146	* In ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
147	** Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's designs are caricatures of their voice actors Creator/ErnestBorgnine and Tim Conway, particularly of their roles in ''Series/McHalesNavy''.
148	** While [=SpongeBob=] wasn't really designed to look like Creator/TomKenny, his thick-rimmed glasses were supposedly based off of Kenny's own pair.
149	** In [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS5E9TheKrustySpongeSingASongOfPatrick "The Krusty Sponge"]], Gene Scallop is designed after his voice actor, American film and literary critic Gene Shalit, featuring his trademark oversized hair, mustache, and glasses. Scallop's bright green bowtie additionally mirrors Shalit's affinity for similarly colorful neckwear.
150	* Bud Abbott voiced a direct animated adaptation of himself for the 1967 ''Creator/AbbottAndCostello'' cartoons, while Stan Irwin substituted for the late Lou Costello.
151	* Creator/JonLovitz as Jay Sherman in ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'' is an interesting inversion. He insisted that the character design be noticeably different from how he actually looked, only to begin resembling the character more and more as he aged.
152	* In ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'': Baileywick is a dead ringer for [[Series/ProjectRunway Tim Gunn]].
153	* In ''WesternAnimation/The7D'', the main antagonist, Hildy Gloom, bears more than a passing resemblance to her actress Kelly Osbourne, especially the purple hair.
154	* In the Rankin Bass adaption of ''Literature/TheEmperorsNewClothes'', Danny Kay's character Marmaduke is made to look like Kay.
155	* The ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' WholeEpisodeFlashback has Reggie, Muscle Man's college acquaintance, who looks like Danny Cooksey did as a teenager, specifically in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.
156	** In the episode "Benson's Suit", Creator/TravisWillingham voices a villain named Rich Steve, who could be his cartoon counterpart (albeit with longer hair).
157	* In ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'', Coach Green looks almost exactly like Creator/JohnOliver. Debbie Kang also bears more than a passing resemblance to Creator/PiperCurda.
158	* ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' has Gus, the otherworldly bartender who's voiced and modeled after Creator/DavidLynch.
159	* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' has their incarnation of Casey Jones look eerily similar to his voice actor, Creator/JoshPeck, although this may be a subversion, because while this Casey Jones is considered UglyCute at worst, Josh is considered, well, ''[[MrFanservice cute]]'' [[MrFanservice cute]].
160	* Rachel Wilson, who provided voice acting for Heather from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' looks [[http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BOTAyMzk2NzY4NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzY5OTIwMg@@._V1_UY317_CR20,0,214,317_AL_.jpg quite similar]] to the character she is portraying.
161	* In ''WesternAnimation/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015'', Peter's father J'son looks like an animated version of his voice actor Creator/JonathanFrakes, specifically from Frakes' [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Will Riker]] period.
162	* Done completely intentionally in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', the only real differences being that cartoon Jackie is younger and the stunts are ''slightly'' more over-the-top. The opening sequence even has Jackie shift back and forth between cartoon and live-action.
163	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'':
164	** The Everywhere Man, his love interest Clea, and Mirror Master look like their respective voice actors, Creator/BrandonRouth (albeit with red hair), Creator/AllisonMack, and Creator/JohnLarroquette.
165	** Detective Ethan Bennett is also the spitting image of his voice actor, Creator/SteveHarris, but with blue eyes.
166	** ComicBook/TheRiddler [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was supposed to be voiced]] by Music/MarilynManson, hence why he looks like him.
167	* ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords'': Creator/{{Jim Cummings\|VoiceActor}} voices a minor character named Buford, who [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mighty-magiswords/images/e/e9/Buford.PNG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/200?cb=20161109054338 looks quite a bit like him too]].
168	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
169	** Lynn Loud Sr. is basically an animated version of Creator/BrianStepanek (who even got to reprise the role in [[Film/ALoudHouseChristmas live]]-[[Series/TheReallyLoudHouse action]]), right down to the bald portion on his head whom he shares with dead-on.
170	** Leni, Luna and Luan Loud essentially look like younger versions of their respective voice actors Creator/LilianaMumy, Creator/NikaFutterman and Creator/CristinaPucelli. It's especially evident with this piece of fan artwork, [[http://www.funnyjunk.com/channel/loudhouse/The+sisters+their+voice+actors/igMlLvt/ showing caricatures of the voice actresses behind Lincoln's sisters dressed as said characters]].
171	** Katherine Mulligan bears a strong resemblance to Creator/CatherineTaber, who also even reprised the role in the live-action film ''Film/ALoudHouseChristmas''.
172	** Jahzir Bruno already played Clyde in live-action before voicing him from "Present Danger" onwards, so his resemblance to Clyde is more than a passing coincidence.
173	* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
174	** Class tomboy Alix Kubdel looks quite similar to Creator/KiraBuckland.
175	** Luka Couffaine is basically his voice actor Andrew Russell with longer and more punk-ish hair. Funnily enough, both of them are [[ActorSharedBackground skilled at playing guitar.]]
176	** Several French celebrities appeared as guests characters, sometimes getting akumatized :
177	*** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josiane_Balasko French veteran actress and director Josiane Balasko]] [[AsHimself as herself]] in Season 1-13 and 4-02, plus some [[TheCameo cameos]]. [[DubNameChange The international version named her]] "Sarah".
178	*** Former ice-skater [[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Candeloro Philippe Candeloro]] fittingly gets the part of the skating coach (only known as "Philippe") at the ice-rink and gets akumatized as "Le Patineur/Frozer" in S2-21 and again in Season 2's two-part finale. In following seasons he gets several cameos.
179	*** Harry Clown of S4-21, who gets akumatized into "Psycomédien/Psycomedian", is basically popular comic, actor and director [[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck_Dubosc Franck Dubosc]] transplanted into the Miraculous' verse. Though Dubosc humor is far less [[{{Pun}} lame]] and more [[{{Bowdlerize}} adult-oriented]] than Harry Clown's. But the two share a desire to be more than simple clowns, as Dubosc, since several years, is in a process of turning to more drama-oriented roles, yet still in upbeat films.
180	* The character [[http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/_img/chars/gearhead-rick-and-morty-2.81.jpg Gearhead]] (a.k.a. Revolio Clockberg Jr.) from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' looks very similar to his voice actor, [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTcwMDI1MTY2NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDk0NDAwMg@@._V1_UX214_CR0,0,214,317_AL_.jpg Scott Chernoff]].
181	* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderbirdsAreGo'': GadgeteerGenius Tycho Reeves from the episode "Hyperspeed" looks exactly like his voice actor, Creator/DavidTennant.
182	* The ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'' version of Max Modell resembled a bearded Creator/FredTatasciore. The CreatorCameo proprietor of Cup O' Joe looks like Creator/JoeQuesada.
183	* A large number of guest stars during later seasons of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', including but not limited to Rip Taylor, Ray Jay Johnson, and Eddie Lawrence doing his "Old Philosopher" routine in cat form. Most notable was adding Aloysius, a pastiche of voicing comedian Kevin Meaney (right down to his catchphrase, "That's not right!"), as a recurring character on U.S. Acres.
184	* ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' has The Queen Of Night, who bears a striking resemblance to her voice actress (and also the series' creator), Britt Allcroft.
185	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'': MadScientist Dr. Mystico looks a lot like his voice actor Creator/TimCurry, if somewhat bulkier.
186	* Bill Dewey in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' was almost certainly modeled on his voice actor, Joel Hodgson.
187	* In the ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' ChristmasEpisode ''A Christmas to Remember'', John the piano player, voiced by Music/EltonJohn, is modelled on Elton, at least to the extent that's possible within the show's OnlySixFaces style (really, he's just got red hair and glasses, but the intent's clearly there).
188	* The ''Franchise/StarWars'' cartoons do this a lot, likely in case they want to bring the characters into the movies and save the effort of finding an actor by using their voice actors. This is obviously played straight for live-action actors that reprised their roles in the cartoons[[labelnote:list]]''The Clone Wars'': Shmi Skywalker (Pernilla August), Qui-Gon Jinn (Creator/LiamNeeson). ''Rebels'': Saw Gerrera (Creator/ForestWhitaker), Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reily). ''Resistance'': Poe Dameron (Creator/OscarIsaac).[[/labelnote]]
189	** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
190	*** Anakin Skywalker looks very similar to Creator/MattLanter.
191	*** So does Creator/StephenStanton (Captain Tarkin). Stephen took it one step further: At Star Wars Celebration VI, he actually cosplayed as Captain Tarkin. This is carried over into ''Rebels''.
192	*** Duchess Satine looks like Anna Graves, but she's been noted to have a ComicBookFantasyCasting resemblance to Creator/CateBlanchett.
193	*** Bo-Katan looks like Creator/KateeSackhoff, except with short red hair. Her hairstyle is similar to Sackhoff's role as Starbuck in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}''. This is carried over into ''Rebels''. When the character made her live-action debut in ''Series/TheMandalorian'', Sackhoff easily reprised her role.
194	*** Prime Minister Almec shares some resemblance to Creator/JulianHolloway, but with a beard.
195	*** Korkie and his friends resemble their voice actors.
196	*** Queen Neeyutnee resembles her voice actress, Jameelah [=McMillan=], although we never see her without her headdress and make-up.
197	*** Cham Syndulla has some resemblance to Creator/RobinAtkinDownes. This is carried over into ''Rebels''.
198	*** Gobi resembles Creator/CoreyBurton. This is carried over into ''Rebels''.
199	*** Lux looks like a younger version of Jason Spisak.
200	*** Senator Mina Bonteri resembles Creator/KathSoucie, except with short brown hair with greying streaks and a beauty mark near her mouth.
201	*** Steela resembles Dawn-Lyen Gardner, except with dreadlocks and blue eyes. This is carried over into ''Rebels''.
202	*** Saw resembles Andrew Kishino. This is {{retcon}}ned in entries released after ''Film/RogueOne'' such as in ''Rebels'', with Saw now resembling Creator/ForestWhitaker, his actor in ''Rogue One''. The ''Rogue One'' Marvel comic adaptation depicts ''The Clone Wars'' era Saw as looking more like Whitaker than Kishino.
203	*** The Father resembles Lloyd Sherr.
204	*** The Son and the Daughter resemble Creator/SamWitwer and Creator/AdrienneWilkinson, respectively. It may also be worth noting that Witwer and Wilkinson's roles as the Son and the Daughter is a MythologyGag (and given the content of their story, this could also be a CallForward at the time of their episodes' release and a possible DiscontinuityNod post-ContinuityReboot) towards their roles as enemies Starkiller and Maris Blood in ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed The Force Unleashed]]'', who ''also'' apply to this trope.
205	*** Kalifa, Jinx, and O-Mer look like younger versions of Creator/GwendolineYeo, Sunil Malhotra, and Cam Clarke, respectively.
206	*** Weirdly enough, you can see a bit of resemblance between Creator/GwendolineYeo and one of her characters, Peppi Bow, who is a female Gungan.
207	*** Chairman Chi Cho resembles Brian George.
208	** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'':
209	*** In side material that depicts the characters realistically, Hera is sometimes modeled after her voice actress, Creator/VanessaMarshall.
210	*** Ahsoka now resembles Creator/AshleyEckstein. This is possibly a reference to when she cosplayed Ahsoka at a convention while ''The Clone Wars'' was airing.
211	*** The Grand Inquisitor resembles Creator/JasonIsaacs, but, you know, bald and alien.
212	*** During development, Agent Kallus was at one point considered to resemble his voice actor, Creator/DavidOyelowo.
213	*** Since there was no official actor reference for Grand Admiral Thrawn (who originally appeared in novels and comics, with a variety of artists' interpretations of his appearance but no defined look other than 'blue skin, red eyes, near-human'), the production team chose to model him after his voice actor, Creator/LarsMikkelsen. Mikkelsen would later go on to reprise the role of Mitth'raw'nuruodo in live-action for the ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' series, thus coming full circle.
214	*** Fenn Rau looks like Creator/KevinMcKidd. Rau's hairstyle is similar to [=McKidd=]'s character's hairstyle in ''Film/DogSoldiers''.
215	*** Gar Saxon looks like Creator/RayStevenson, except for the hair. Interestingly, Saxon had previously appeared helmetless in ''ComicBook/DarthMaulSonOfDathomir'' (or at least half of his face did, thanks to how the comic panels were arranged), he did share some resemblance to Stevenson bar the blonde hair and the hairstyle. It's currently unknown if Stevenson was selected to voice him in ''The Clone Wars'' before it was cancelled or if this was a coincidence.
216	*** Tiber Saxon looks like Tobias Menzies, except blonde and with a different hairstyle.
217	*** Numa grew up to resemble Creator/CatherineTaber, except with purple eyes (and obviously, [[RubberForeheadAliens lekku]]).
218	*** Governor Ryder Azadi looks like Creator/ClancyBrown, except AmbiguouslyBrown. Brown would later reprise his role in live-action in ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}''.
219	*** Erskin Semaj resembles Josh Brener.
220	*** Gold One/Dutch Vander resembles Creator/YuriLowenthal, as well as his late actor.
221	*** Gooti Terez and the Controller are based on ''The Star Wars Show'' host Andi Gutirrez and Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo, and though they don't voice them in the actual show, they were brought on as placeholder voices.
222	** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance'':
223	*** Kazuda resembles Christopher Sean, except younger.
224	*** Tam resembles Suzie [=McGrath=], albeit with darker skin and Tam's hair isn't curly.
225	*** You can see a resemblance between Neeku and Josh Brener.
226	*** Yeager resembles Scott Lawrence, except with dreadlocks and a beard.
227	*** Torra looks like a younger version of Myrna Velasco.
228	*** Synara resembles Nazneen Contractor.
229	*** Jace Rucklin resembles Creator/ElijahWood, but with blonde hair and brighter-colored eyes.
230	*** Griff Halloran looks like Creator/StephenStanton.
231	*** Freya Fenris looks like Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn, although like Duchess Satine and Governor Pryce before her, she's also be noted to have a ComicBookFantasyCasting resemblance to Creator/CateBlanchett.
232	*** Hugh Sion, one of Kaz's teammates in the New Republic Navy, resembles Creator/SamWitwer.
233	*** Mia Gabon, one of Kaz's teammates in the New Republic Navy, shares some resemblance to Creator/CheramiLeigh, though Mia appears to be Asian equivalent.
234	* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''
235	** In ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'', Vincent Van Ghoul looks just like his voice actor, Creator/VincentPrice. The ''Mystery Incorporated'' continuity plays up the resemblance, in which Van Ghoul is an actor and is also a good cook, like his late voice actor.
236	** ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'':
237	*** Mayor Fred Jones Sr. resembles his voice actor, Creator/GaryCole, specifically in the late '90's and the 2000's. For reference, see Cole's roles in ''Film/{{Dodgeball}}'', ''Film/OneHourPhoto'', and ''Series/TheWestWing''. This is possibly a hint about [[spoiler:Mayor Jones's false relation to Fred, as there is little to no familial resemblance between them]].
238	*** Mayor Nettles and Principal Quinlan resemble Creator/KateHiggins, except with darker hair.
239	*** Sheriff Stone resembles Creator/PatrickWarburton, except with a mustache. [[http://katbardot.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/GLUCH-1024x640.png Case in point...]]
240	*** Hot Dog Water/Marcie looks like Creator/LindaCardellini, further bringing her status as Velma's {{expy}} to full circle, as Cardellini played Velma in the [[Film/ScoobyDoo first two]] [[Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed live-action movies.]]
241	*** You can see a resemblance between Professor Pericles and Udo Kier, even though the former is a ''bird''. Pericles specifically looks like [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Udo_KIER_festival_de_Cannes_2011.jpg/220px-Udo_KIER_festival_de_Cannes_2011.jpg this photo of Kier]].
242	** ''A Scooby-Doo Valentine'': The perps, who were doppelgangers of the gang, are unmasked to be caricatures of the cast's voice actors (Frank Welker, Grey [=DeLisle=], Casey Kasem, Creator/MindyCohn).
243	* ''WesternAnimation/TheHollow'': [[spoiler:Mark Hildreth is the only member of the cast to carry over his role to the live—action epilogue (and prologue)]]
244	* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'' with Mendel Craven and Mayor Ebert. Despite Malcolm Dunare and Michael Lerner coming back to reprise the respective roles, Craven was now blond with his hair in a ponytail instead of short brunet hair and Ebert sported a mustache instead of his original clean-shaven look and his hair was styled differently.
245	* As mentioned below in Coincidences, this isn't actually the case with the main cast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}''. However, this is played straight with pretty much all of the guest characters, including Len Drexler (Creator/JeffreyTambor), Cecil Tunt (Eugene Mirman), Alan Shapiro (Creator/PattonOswalt), Conway Stern (Coby Bell), Katya Kazanova (Creator/OnaGrauer), Commander Drake (Creator/BryanCranston), Lemuel (Creator/KeithDavid) and Claudette Kane (Creator/CCHPounder), Edie (Allison Tolman), Lance Casteau (Creator/AnthonyBourdain), Lucas Troy (Creator/TimothyOlyphant), Captain Price (Jillian Bell), Noah (Creator/DavidCross - just with hair), Captain Murphy (Creator/JonHamm - just with grey hair), Juliana (Creator/LaurenCohan - just with red hair), Ziegler (Flula Borg - just with blonde hair)... basically, if there's a well-known guest star on the show, you can safely assume that their character will be this.
246	** Also played straight with Ron Cadillac, who was directly based on Ron Liebman, and Slater, who was based on... well, [[Creator/ChristianSlater you can probably guess who]].
247	* Disney's 2019 conceit that Franchise/TheMuppets (not the performers, the Muppets themselves) are guest voice actors on Creator/DisneyChannel animated series leads to a weird metafictional example: Dr. Enamel in ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' looks a bit like a human version of Fozzie Bear (the show's AmazingTechnicolorPopulation helps, since he's actually orange). Allowing for art style, Crumpet the Frog in ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' looks ''exactly'' like Kermit.
248	* According to a source, Ben's parents in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' were designed from and voiced by their live action counterparts from ''Race Against Time''.
249	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'': After Deven Mack was cast as Lab Rat, the character [[https://mactheactor.tumblr.com/post/70743922973/the-world-of-pre-lay-voiceover-where-drastic was redesigned]] to look like him, down to the blue hoodie he occasionally wore to recording sessions.
250	* ''Westernanimation/WhatIf2021'', being based on [[WhatIf alternate histories of the]] Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, naturally has every character looking like their film counterparts. But the one character introduced on the show, Uatu, is the Watcher from the comics with a RaceLift and a few adjustments to resemble Creator/JeffreyWright.
251	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Entergalactic}}'': Every character is visually based on their original voice actor. Jabari being a dead ringer for Music/KidCudi is the most obvious, but Jimmy has Creator/TimotheeChalamet's sharp facial features, Carmen has Creator/LauraHarrier's downturned eyes and full lips, Ky has Ty Dolla $ign's black and blonde dreadlocks, and so on.
252	* ''WesternAnimation/CloseEnough'': Josh bears a strong resemblance to his voice actor and the show's creator, JG Quintel. The show's HalloweenEpisode "Halloween Enough" plays this trope for horror, as towards the end of the episode Josh's daughter Candice accidentally [[RefugeeFromTVLand falls into the Cartoon Network building]]. Frightened and confused, she finds someone who she thinks is her father, only for it to turn out she found the completely identical JG Quintel instead, who doesn't recognize her.
253	* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'' takes this approach to many of the characters (at least for the ones who, in live action ''Trek'', would be portrayed by humans in makeup), including the occasional guest star from elsewhere in the franchise. This works in reverse too -- several of the main characters' voice actors have gone to conventions in Starfleet uniforms essentially playing themselves, and [[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS2E07ThoseOldScientists a crossover episode]] of the live-action ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' was produced with Boimler and Mariner's actor and actress reprising their roles.
254	* On ''WesternAnimation/JoJosCircus'', [=JoJo=]'s design is notably similar to that of her voice actress, Madeleine Martin, particularly the hairstyle, which matches the hairstyle she sported when appearing on ''Series/OutOfTheBox'' around the same time she voiced [=JoJo=].
255	* The commentary for ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' states that Emmet’s minifigure was designed to look like his voice actor Creator/ChrisPratt— at least, as close as they could get it with a LEGO minifigure.
256	* ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'': Done with plenty of the characters, especially the Grayson family. Mark, Debbie and Omni Man all bear strong resemblances to Creator/StevenYeun, Creator/SandraOh, and Creator/JKSimmons, respectively.
257	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' has ''regular'' appearances of side characters voiced by and looking very similar to Creator/MatthewMercer, all of whom exist only to get their day ruined by the titular heroes. As the show started out as ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', a [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons DnD]] campaign [[GameMaster DM]]-ed by Matt, who acts and voices all the {{NPC}}s, this is very much a MythologyGag.
258	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' sees Joe Swanson resemble his voice actor, Creator/PatrickWarburton.
259	* ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'' has most of the main cast members resemble their voice actors, or in the case of Dr. Wu, resembling his original actor from the films.
