| 4 | To the outside viewer (usually American), after you start watching a few Canadian-made shows, you start to notice something. Something ''weird''. It starts getting odd when you're watching Canadian TV, and you start shouting "Hey, it's that guy!"... ''every five minutes, at every actor.'' |
| 5 | |
| 6 | That's where this trope comes in. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | In Canada, television networks and radio stations are legally required to air a specific amount of Canada-produced media at any given time, with their runtimes often consisting of more than 60% Canadian content. Also, the Canadian government offers significant tax breaks and direct subsidies to TV shows made wholly or partially in Canada, in exchange enforcing a "Canadian actors only" policy for the majority of roles. But there are [[TitleDrop only so many Canadian actors]], especially young actors. The country already has a relatively small population to begin with (about 35 million, roughly a ninth of the US population and smaller than the population of California alone), and when you narrow the actors down to a specific age group (between 15 and 30, like most of the ones below), and then combine ''that'' with the fact that Canada has become a very popular shooting location for American producers on a tight budget, you're only left with a tiny handful of actors. As matter of course, ever since [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_pioneers_in_early_Hollywood the very earliest days of the film industry]], Canadian actors who are talented or ambitious enough to become superstars inevitably leave for Broadway or Hollywood and therefore reduce the pool of Canadian acting talent still ''further''. Many of the actors who stay in Canada thus do so for the rest of their careers (if not always by choice). That said, some have [[LimeyGoesToHollywood managed to break out of it]] later in their careers, notably Creator/ElliotPage, [[Music/{{Drake}} Aubrey "Drake" Graham]], Creator/MichaelCera, Creator/TaraStrong, Creator/JayBaruchel and Creator/CreeSummer, and others frequently jump between Canadian and Hollywood productions. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | This isn't necessarily a ''bad'' thing -- if anything, it becomes enjoyable to the viewer, and because of the frequent recurrence of these actors, there often isn't much Role Association. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | We only picked Canada as an example because Canada, along with Malaysia and the United Kingdom, is home to a lot of tropers. But this trope can be found in any country with a small enough dramatic community[[note]]for example, the actor communities of Australia and New Zealand can do this as well[[/note]] where actors either prefer to stay in their home country or are forced to stay because of linguistic incompatibility with countries around them. You can also notice this in the some of the more niche branches (relative to film and TV anyways) of dramatic arts, there are only so many Mummers dancers, martial arts practitioners, puppeteers or Peking opera singers to go around. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | On the other hand, the specific Creator/FamilyChannel KidCom --> ''Franchise/{{Degrassi}}'' path has become so well-trodden it's almost a subtrope of both this and TomHanksSyndrome. (''Series/LifeWithDerek'' was an unusual case in that many actors came ''from'' ''Franchise/{{Degrassi}}'' to appear on the show in recurring roles - but sure enough, the reverse inevitably happened as well.) |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Oddly enough, Canada's animation producers, such as Creator/TheOceanGroup, Creator/NineStoryMediaGroup, Creator/FreshTV, Creator/WildBrain (formerly DHX Media) and its assets[[note]]such as Creator/NerdCorpsEntertainment, Creator/CookieJarEntertainment (and its predecessor Cinar), Creator/DiCEntertainment, Decode Entertainment, and Creator/StudioBProductions[[/note]], Spin Master, Creator/GuruStudio, Creator/{{Nelvana}} and Creator/CineGroupe are also guilty of this trope, using many of the same voice actors in their shows, and some of the actors listed here have appeared in their shows as well. |

| 313 | * Creator/TaraStrong: Mainly applies to her childhood voice-acting career (with her first American role being ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues''), but she's starred in several recent Canadian works as well, such as ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget2015'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Powerbirds}}''. |

| 357 | [[folder: Media Commonly Associated With This]] |
| 358 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins'': Occurs in the seasons produced for Creator/{{Qubo}} with voice actors from the Vancouver talent pool. |

| 360 | * ''Series/FifteenLove'' |
| 361 | * ''18 to Life'' |
| 362 | * Original movies on [[SugarWiki/AHallmarkPresentation The Hallmark Channel]], Creator/{{Lifetime}} and Great American Family, with plenty of performers freely jumping between any one of the three. |
| 363 | * Almost every adaptation of ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'', particularly the Kevin Sullivan-produced TV shows, like ''Series/RoadToAvonlea'' and ''WesternAnimation/AnneOfGreenGablesTheAnimatedSeries'' |
| 364 | * Any show created by Angela Santomero after the original ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'': |
| 365 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou'' |
| 366 | ** ''WesternAnimation/CreativeGalaxy'' |
| 367 | ** ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' |
| 368 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'': Mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 369 | * ''[[Anime/{{Doraemon}} The Adventures of Albert and Sidney]]'': It was one of Creator/{{Cinar}}'s first productions they have ever done, and they have used Montreal voice actors you would normally hear in other CINAR productions. |
| 370 | * ''WesternAnimation/AnimalMechanicals'' used a cast almost entirely composed of Halifax-based theatre actors. |
| 371 | * ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' (the TV series) |
| 372 | * ''Series/AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'' |
| 373 | ** The same actors would pop up in multiple episodes of ''Are You Afraid of the Dark?'', ''Series/StudentBodies'', and ''Series/ReadyOrNot1993'' as they were all filmed in Canada. |
| 374 | * ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' |
| 375 | ** ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' |
| 376 | ** ''Series/TheFlash2014'' |
| 377 | ** ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'' (especially after the ChannelHop) |
| 378 | ** ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' |
| 379 | * ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'': All the voice actors on this show, save for Creator/JuneForay, are from the Vancouver talent pool, making it the only ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' work to fall under this trope. |
| 380 | * The ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' movies |
| 381 | * ''Film/BarneysGreatAdventure'': The only known installment in the ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' franchise to fall under this trope, as it was filmed in the Montreal area and a good portion of the supporting cast were Canadian. The rest of the franchise falls under a Texas version of this trope, as detailed below. |
| 382 | * ''Series/BeautyAndTheBeast2012'' |
| 383 | * ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'': A prominent trope in the seasons starring Creator/AlysonCourt as Loonette. |
| 384 | * Creator/{{Bioware}} games, especially prior to 2007. {{Justified}} given their base of operations was Edmonton at the time, and their insistence on top-shelf voice actors. At least a quarter of the above list ended up in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' and/or ''Franchise/MassEffect'' (the latter led to the AscendedFanon that an Earthborn Sheperd is from Canada) |
| 385 | * ''Series/BlackHoleHigh a.k.a. Strange Days At Blake Holsey High'' |
| 386 | * The DirectToVideo ''Franchise/{{Bratz}}'' movies |
| 387 | * Anything made by Creator/BreakthroughEntertainment: |
| 388 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'': Mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 389 | ** ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': Mainly used Toronto voice actors, but Creator/TabithaStGermain of Creator/TheOceanGroup voices the titular character. |

| 393 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MyBigBigFriend'' |
| 394 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'' |
| 395 | ** ''WesternAnimation/RocketMonkeys'' |
| 396 | ** ''WesternAnimation/WanderingWenda'' |
| 397 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'': This trope is especially prominent in the Creator/{{Cinar}}-era episodes, but later episodes also star Canadian actors. Averted for ''Caillou's New Adventures'', which uses American voice artists from Creator/NYAVPost. |
| 398 | * ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver'' |
| 399 | * ''Franchise/CareBears'': This trope is especially prominent in Creator/{{Nelvana}}'s work for the franchise (e.g. the 1980s movies, the ''Care Bears Family'' cartoon, and the 2003-2004 DirectToVideo films) and ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'' |
| 400 | * ''[[Creator/{{CBC}} CBC Kids]]'' and its related blocks: Many of the child actors used in the block's music videos and skits eventually end up pursuing careers in acting. The animated shows featured on the block also tend to use a lot of recurring names in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal's voice acting pools. |
| 401 | * ''Charlie Bartlett'' |
| 402 | * If it's made by Creator/{{Cinar}}, then there's a pretty strong chance it will be using Montreal voice actors, especially Creator/TerrenceScammell, Creator/RickJones, Creator/SonjaBall, Creator/HollyGauthierFrankel, Creator/MarkCamacho, and Creator/PaulineLittle. |
| 403 | * 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. ''WesternAnimation/TheKidsFromRoom402'' also used an American-based cast, while ''WesternAnimation/BadDog'' uses Toronto-based voice actors. |
| 404 | * ''WesternAnimation/CocomelonLane'' |
| 405 | * ''Series/CornerGas'' |
| 406 | * ''Series/{{Continuum}}'' |
| 407 | * ''Literature/DearAmerica'' (the TV series) |
| 408 | * ''Franchise/{{Degrassi}}'': The central nexus and, well, epitome of the trope. |
| 409 | * Although an American company, many cartoons from Creator/DiCEntertainment use Canadian voice actors (ironically, most of [=DiC=]'s catalog is now owned by the Canadian studio Creator/WildBrain). To give some examples: |
| 410 | ** ''[[Series/{{ALF}} ALF: The Animated Series]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/ALFTales'': Mainly uses voice actors from from the Toronto talent pool with the exception of Paul Fusco who reprised his role as the titular character from the original [[Series/{{ALF}} 1986 series]] |
| 411 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeverlyHillsTeens'': Mainly uses voice actors from the Toronto talent pool. |
| 412 | ** ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'': Mainly uses voice actors from the Vancouver talent pool. |
| 413 | ** ''WesternAnimation/Cops1988'': Mainly uses voice actors from the Toronto talent pool. |
| 414 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaucers}}'': Mainly uses voice actors from the Toronto talent pool. |
| 415 | ** ''WesternAnimation/HeathcliffAndTheCatillacCats'': An odd case, as the majority of the actors were Canadians living in Los Angeles (including Creator/DerekMcGrath, who later joined the Toronto talent pool) with the exception of Creator/MelBlanc as the titular character. Note that the first season of this series, like ''Inspector Gadget'' was a co-production with Creator/{{Nelvana}}. |
| 416 | ** ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'': Although this one was a co-production with Creator/{{Nelvana}} for its first season. Notable as the voice acting debut of Creator/CreeSummer as Penny Gadget. |
| 417 | ** ''WesternAnimation/JayceAndTheWheeledWarriors'': Mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 418 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989'': Mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 419 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'' (a show that used seven Canadian actors (including Doug Stone, who despite being a Canadian never gets involved in this trope often) [[ActingForTwo to play]] lots of characters) |
| 420 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}}'': Mainly uses the Vancouver talent pool with the exception of Creator/ChristopherPlummer as the narrator. |
| 421 | ** Their dub of ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 422 | ** Their dub of ''Anime/SaintSeiya'', known as ''Knights Of The Zodiac'': Mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 423 | ** The ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic'' cartoons, mainly uses the Toronto talent pool. |
| 424 | * ''WesternAnimation/DinoRanch'' |
| 425 | * ''WesternAnimation/DogCity'': This show, along with ''Series/FraggleRock'', ''Series/FraggleRockBackToTheRock'', ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'', ''Sesame Park'' (the Canadian co-production of ''Series/SesameStreet''), ''Film/SesameStreetPresentsFollowThatBird'', and ''WesternAnimation/UnstableFables'' (which was a co-production with Sabella Dern), are the only Jim Henson-related works to fall under this trope as far as actors are concerned. |
| 426 | * ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'': Most of the English voice cast are from the Vancouver talent pool with the exceptions being Creator/LizzieFreeman as Lily, Alexa Kahn as Jeanne d'Arc, and the voice actors for characters from the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series and ''VideoGame/Persona5''. |
| 427 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Eckhart}}'' features a cast almost entirely composed of theatrical actors from Prince Edward Island |
| 428 | * ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' features a Vancouver-based voice cast, including quite a number of names associated with Creator/TheOceanGroup. |
| 429 | * The [[LiveActionAdaptation live-action]] ''Literature/{{Eloise}}'' films (filmed in New York City and used a mix of Canadian and American actors) |
| 430 | * 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. |
| 431 | * ''Series/TheExpanse'' |
| 432 | * ''Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner'' and its' sequel, ''Film/AFairlyOddChristmas'' |
| 433 | * ''Series/TheFamousJettJackson'' |
| 434 | * ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' |
| 435 | * ''Series/FraggleRock'': Used a mix of Canadian and American actors. |
| 436 | ** ''Series/FraggleRockBackToTheRock'': Much like the original series, it uses a mix of Canadian and American performers. |
| 437 | * ''WesternAnimation/FreakyStories'' |
| 438 | * Anything made by Creator/FreshTV |
| 439 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' |
| 440 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' and [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace its]] [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama spinoffs]]. Due to the franchise's large cast, nearly every animated series from the 2000s onwards (and a few 90s shows) that uses voice actors of the Toronto pool features at least one TD voice actor in its main and/or supporting cast. |
| 441 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' |
| 442 | ** ''Series/MyBabysittersAVampire'' |
| 443 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' |
| 444 | * ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'': One of two installments in the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' franchise (the other being ''Film/FreddyVsJason'') to fall under this trope, as it was mostly filmed in Vancouver and many of the supporting cast would go on to have notable roles in Canadian-made productions (including a number of the supporting cast having roles in Creator/TheOceanGroup dubs). |
| 445 | * ''WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater'', while featuring many prominent Canadian voice actors of the 80s and 90s, such as Creator/LenCarlson and Creator/ElizabethHanna, is also noted as the voice acting debut of Creator/TaraStrong as Hello Kitty. |
| 446 | * ''Series/{{Highlander}}'' |

| 452 | * ''Series/KimsConvenience'' |
| 453 | * ''Series/KungFuTheLegendContinues'' |
| 454 | * ''Series/LaFemmeNikita'' and its reboot, ''Series/{{Nikita}}'', to the point that more than half a dozen actors go on to appear on both shows, entirely coincidentally (they're produced by entirely different people). |
| 455 | * The 2013 ''Toys/{{Lalaloopsy}}'' series used voice actors from the Calgary talent pool (including a 10-year-old Music/TateMcRae), but the 2017 reboot used the Vancouver talent pool. |
| 456 | * ''Series/TheLatestBuzz'' |
| 457 | * ''Series/TheLAComplex'' |

| 523 | * A number of Creator/{{Netflix}} original animated series feature voice actors from Creator/TheOceanGroup, such as ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'', ''WesternAnimation/TheHollow'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLastKidsOnEarth'', and ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego''. |
| 524 | * ''Nonsense Revolution'' |
| 525 | * Most English dubs of anime made by Creator/TheOceanGroup. In addition, several of the Vancouver actors they use began their careers in the company's dubs. |
| 526 | * ''Series/OrphanBlack'' |
| 527 | * ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'': An odd case of this. Despite some of the actors listed here having voiced roles here (for example Ron Pardo as Turbot, James Rankin as Otis Goodway and Sonja Ball as a penguin in one episode), this trope mainly applies to the [[ChildrenVoicingChildren child voice actors.]] Several of them have also appeared on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'' and ''WesternAnimation/LittlePeopleEgmont''. |
| 528 | * A good number of post-1996 shows (as well as some prior to that year) created for Creator/PBSKids. As [[https://twitter.com/tomsmithcartoon/status/1211154247028371456?s=21 stated]] by a staff member for ''Let's Go Luna!'', many modern PBS Kids show require one aspect of the show to be Canadian in order to receive their funding, as the United States goverment only funds about 10-20% of PBS' operations. This is extremely bizarre as PBS is strictly US only, despite some [=PBS=] stations close to the Canadian border [[note]]in New York - [=WNED=] in Buffalo reaches Toronto, [=WCFE=] in Plattsburgh reaches Montreal, [=WPBS=] in Watertown reaches Ottawa - in Pennsylvania - [=WQLN=] in Erie reaches London -- in Michigan -- [=WTVS=] in Detroit reaches Windsor[[/note]] having large Canadian audiences. Many of these come from either Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal: |
| 529 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues'': Only occurs in the third season. |
| 530 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': The animated central nexus of this trope, as many Montreal based voice actors and actresses associated with this trope have appeared on the show over its' 25-year-run. |
| 531 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheBerenstainBears'' (2003 series): Mainly uses voice actors from the Toronto talent pool with the exception of Vancouver based Creator/MarykeHendrikse. |
| 532 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat'' |
| 533 | ** ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' (2019 series) |
| 534 | ** The ''Literature/{{Corduroy}}'' animated series. |
| 535 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' |
| 536 | ** ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' |
| 537 | ** ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'': Mainly uses voice actors from the Vancouver talent pool. |
| 538 | ** ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'': Mainly uses voice actors from the Vancouver talent pool. |
| 539 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'' |

| 541 | ** ''WesternAnimation/EsmeAndRoy'' |
| 542 | ** ''WesternAnimation/FrannysFeet'' |
| 543 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks'' |
| 544 | ** ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary'' |
| 545 | ** ''Series/LambChopsPlayAlong'' and its spinoff ''Series/CharlieHorseMusicPizza'': Like ''The Noddy Shop'', this is mostly of the RetroactiveRecognition kind, as some of the people cast as the children on the show would go on to play more major roles, with the most notable example being Creator/ChantalStrand. |
| 546 | ** ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'' |
| 547 | ** ''WesternAnimation/LibertysKids'' (Kathleen Barr only, most of the other regulars were Omaha, Nebraska-based theater actors) |
| 548 | ** ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Make Way For Noddy]]'' (North American dub): The former uses voice actors from Toronto and the latter uses voice actors from Vancouver. |
| 549 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'' |
| 550 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'': Mainly uses voice actors from Vancouver. |
| 551 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MarvinTheTapDancingHorse'' |
| 552 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'' |
| 553 | ** ''Series/OddSquad'' |
| 554 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PegPlusCat'' |
| 555 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' was an aversion for the first three seasons, having NYC-based voice actors. However, the fourth season plays this trope straight, as PBS forced the voice recording to move to Toronto, and replaced the entire cast. |
| 556 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Mainly uses voice actors from Vancouver. |
| 557 | ** ''WesternAnimation/RosiesRules'' |
| 558 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'': Mainly uses voice actors from Montreal. |
| 559 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SevenLittleMonsters'' |

| 562 | ** ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'' |
| 563 | ** ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'' |
| 564 | ** ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'' |
| 565 | * All ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' productions since 2019, such as ''Snoopy In Space'' and ''The Snoopy Show'', feature Toronto and Vancouver-based voice talents, as well as Canadian child voice actors commonly seen in Canadian-produced {{Preschool Show}}s, due to being produced by Canadian studio Creator/WildBrain. Before this, the ''Peanuts Motion Comics'' series also utilized Canadian actors from the Ocean Group. |
| 566 | * ''WesternAnimation/PeepAndTheBigWideWorld'' |
| 567 | * ''WesternAnimation/PikwikPack'' |
| 568 | * ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'' |
| 569 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': Occasionally, despite being filmed in New Zealand, at least one series regular Ranger in the Disney-era installments would be played by a Canadian actor -- mainly in case they couldn't find an actor of a specific ethnicity or type in New Zealand or Australia, but also in order to fulfill [=CanCon=] requirements -- so it partially counts: |
| 570 | ** Prior to the switchover to New Zealand, Doug Stone, who was born in Canada, was a semi-reoccurring voice actor during the original Saban era of the franchise. |
| 571 | ** Jorgito Vargas Jr. (Blake) in ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm''. |
| 572 | ** Kevin Duhaney (Ethan) and Jeffery Parazzo (Trent) in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''. |
| 573 | ** Four out of the five main S.P.D. Rangers (i.e. the B-Squad S.P.D. Rangers) in ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'', who were played by Canadians who've showed up in a lot of works associated with this trope. Jim [=McLarty=], who voiced Broodwing, was also Canadian. |
| 574 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' |
| 575 | * ''Real Kids, Real Adventures'': This show was also used as a launchpad for the acting careers of various kids like ''The Noddy Shop'' and even shares many child actors from that show. |
| 576 | * ''Series/RadioFreeRoscoe'' |
| 577 | * ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' |
| 578 | * Any show based of the works of Creator/RichardScarry |
| 579 | * Any show that Rick Siggelkow had a hand in: |
| 580 | ** ''Series/AceLightning'' |
| 581 | ** ''WesternAnimation/LittlePeopleEgmont'' (the 2015 version} |
| 582 | ** ''Series/TheNoddyShop'': Notable in that some of the actors commonly associated with this trope began their career on this show. |
| 583 | ** ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'' (Seasons 2 & 3 only, as well as the Christmas Special and the Family Specials. Season 1 was filmed in New York City.) |
| 584 | ** ''Series/{{Tweenies}}'' (the American dub only) |
| 585 | * ''Series/RookieBlue'' |
| 586 | * ''Series/{{Regenesis}}'' |
| 587 | * ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' |
| 588 | * Anything Creator/RLStine is involved in, mainly ''Series/Goosebumps1995'' and ''Series/TheHauntingHour'', with [[Series/EureekasCastle two]] [[Series/JustBeyond exceptions]]. In addition, most of the actors in these shows usually start their careers by playing roles in them, making shows helmed by Stine a third central nexus of this trope. |
| 589 | * Any show produced by Sabella Dern, with two exceptions: ''WesternAnimation/AngelinaBallerina'' and ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder''. |
| 590 | * ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' |
| 591 | * ''The Safety of Objects'' |
| 592 | * ''Series/SchittsCreek'' |
| 593 | * ''Sesame Park'' (aka ''Canadian Series/SesameStreet'') |
| 594 | * ''Film/SesameStreetPresentsFollowThatBird'' |
| 595 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Silverwing}}'' |
| 596 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' |
| 597 | * ''Series/SoWeird'' |
| 598 | * Both TV series based on Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation's movies, ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017'' and ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries'' fall under this, using names from the Toronto voice acting pool. |
| 599 | * ''Anime/SpiderRiders'' (the Cookie Jar[=/=]Coliseum dub) |
| 600 | * Most of Mike Young Productions/Taffy Entertainment/Splash Entertainment's later productions, with some exceptions. |
| 601 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bratz}}'' (second season only) |
| 602 | ** ''WesternAnimation/CosmicQuantumRay'' |
| 603 | ** ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'' |
| 604 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GrowingUpCreepie'' |
| 605 | ** ''WesternAnimation/Hero108'' |
| 606 | ** The ''WesternAnimation/NormOfTheNorth'' sequels |
| 607 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ToddWorld'' |
| 608 | * In the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise, Creator/{{Nelvana}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Droids}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}'' series are among the few entries to fall under this trope |
| 609 | * ''Franchise/StargateVerse'' |
| 610 | * The Stratford Festival: Quite a few of the actors listed here got their start playing roles in Stratford Festival productions. It's also the second central nexus for this trope. |
| 611 | * ''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, including Creator/AndreaLibman returning as Lemon Meringue. |
| 612 | * Anything made by Creator/StudioBProductions |
| 613 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeingIan'' |
| 614 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans'' |
| 615 | ** ''WesternAnimation/DMynaLeagues'' |
| 616 | ** ''WesternAnimation/KidVsKat'' |
| 617 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PackagesFromPlanetX'' |
| 618 | ** ''WesternAnimation/YvonOfTheYukon'' |
| 619 | * Some of the final productions of Creator/SunbowEntertainment used this trope: |
| 620 | ** ''ComicBook/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars'' |
| 621 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GenerationO'' |
| 622 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'': Applies to the [=DiC=] seasons only. In fact, some of the Vancouver-based actors listed here began their career on those seasons of this show. |
| 623 | ** ''[[Franchise/GIJoe G.I. Joe Extreme]]'' |
| 624 | ** ''WesternAnimation/FatDogMendoza'' |
| 625 | ** ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop1995 Littlest Pet Shop]]'' |
| 626 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SaltysLighthouse'' |
| 627 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SgtSavageAndHisScreamingEagles'' |
| 628 | * ''Animation/TayoTheLittleBus'' (English dub; recorded in Winnipeg) |
| 629 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo'' |
| 630 | * A handful of shows produced by Thomas W. Lynch, including: |
| 631 | ** ''Series/CaitlinsWay'' |
| 632 | ** ''Series/{{Galidor}}'' |
| 633 | ** ''Series/TheJersey'' |
| 634 | ** ''Series/MakeItPop'' |
| 635 | ** ''Series/TheTroop'' |
| 636 | ** ''Series/TheOtherKingdom'' |
| 637 | * ''Series/ThisIsDanielCook'' |
| 638 | * ''WesternAnimation/TimeWarpTrio'' |
| 639 | * ''WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol'' |
| 640 | * ''Film/TommyBoy'' |
| 641 | * ''WesternAnimation/TopWing'' |
| 642 | * ''Series/TrailerParkBoys'' |
| 643 | * Some entries of the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise, notably ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' and the Unicron Trilogy, both of which utilized Vancouver voice talents. The spinoff ''WesternAnimation/TransformersBotBots'' does likewise, but instead features a Toronto-based cast. Some other series, including [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the original]] and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse'' have also used Canadian voice actors, albeit in lesser capacities. |
| 644 | * A number of Creator/UniversalKids' animated series, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Powerbirds}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Dot}}'', ''WesternAnimation/RemyAndBoo'', and ''WesternAnimation/NormanPicklestripes'' heavily feature Toronto-based voice actors. |
| 645 | * ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' |
| 646 | * Many movies produced in the 90's for ''[[Series/WaltDisneyPresents The Wonderful World Of Disney]]'' fall under this trope, as several of them were filmed in Canada. |
| 647 | * ''WesternAnimation/WhatAboutMimi'' |
| 648 | * ''Series/WimziesHouse'' uses many Montreal-based actors, including ones from ''Arthur''. |
| 649 | * ''Series/WinginIt'' |
| 650 | * ''Series/WynonnaEarp'' |
| 651 | * ''Series/XCompany'' |
| 652 | * ''Series/TheXFiles'' (prior to moving filming to Los Angeles) |
| 653 | * ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' |
| 654 | * ''Anime/YokaiWatch'': Applies to the first 2 seasons of the English dub. A weird case in that it involved a mix of American and Canadian voice artists. |
| 655 | * ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' |
| 656 | * ''Series/TheZackFiles'' |

| 660 | [[folder: Examples From Outside (English) Canada]] |
| 661 | |
| 662 | * Australian soaps ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' and ''Series/HomeAndAway'' have at some point featured pretty much every well-known actor the country produces. ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' is particularly notable for having starred Music/KylieMinogue, [[Series/{{House}} Jesse Spencer]], Creator/DichenLachman, Creator/GuyPearce, Music/HollyValance, Music/DeltaGoodrem, Creator/RussellCrowe, Creator/MargotRobbie and Creator/AlanDale before they got famous. |
| 663 | * ''Series/BlueWaterHigh'' and ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'' are examples for Australian-made kids' TV, having collectively featured actors who've starred in everything from the ''Film/TomorrowWhenTheWarBegan'' action movie, to ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'', ''Series/DanceAcademy'', ''Series/ThePacific'', and the aforementioned ''Neighbours''. |
| 664 | * British television has a tendency for this. |
| 665 | ** For British-made soap operas, an actor might have a successful run in one of the popular soap operas (e.g. ''Series/{{Eastenders}}''), leave the show or be written out, and then, after a decent interval to allow memories of the original character to fade, they'll pop up again playing an entirely new character in another show (e.g. ''Series/CoronationStreet'', ''Series/{{Hollyoaks}}'' or ''Series/{{Emmerdale}}''). |
| 666 | ** British TV and radio have a large number of panel shows (such as ''Series/{{QI}}'', ''Series/MockTheWeek'', and ''Series/EightOutOfTenCats'') relative to the number of British comedians. This means that some comedians can become semi-regulars and rotate through various shows and channels week in and week out. To be admitted to the panel-show circuit is a huge deal in British comedy (which is a very insular community), as it provides a steady income and a stepping stone to larger gigs. |
| 667 | |
| 668 | * There's a large number of Irish-made productions or films and TV shows filmed in Ireland that feature cast members who were either in ''Series/FatherTed'', ''Fair City'' or ''Series/LoveHate'', especially the last one if the work is DarkerAndEdgier. |
| 669 | * 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'' (from ''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm]]'' to ''[[Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury Cosmic Fury]]''), ''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. |
| 670 | * 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. |
| 671 | * Website/YouTube: Not too many actors are willing to take "a promise to appear on one of their own videos" as payment (Youtube pays the video creator a share of the ad profits, so people would often appear in each other's videos as a way of cross-advertising). It gives the impression that Creator/FeliciaDay has been cast in pretty much every webseries in existence. |
| 672 | * A similar effect happens in some DisabledCharacterDisabledActor roles due to SmallReferencePools among casting directors. Just count how many times you've seen a Deaf character or a character with dwarfism in a movie, TV show or stage production that wasn't played by Creator/MarleeMatlin or Creator/PeterDinklage, respectively. |
| 673 | * German/Austrian theatre is this. Pick any two big-name shows (to name a few: ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}'', ''Theatre/TanzDerVampire'' and ''Theatre/{{Mozart}}'') and you can't swing a conductor's baton around without hitting someone who's been in more than one production. Especially when it comes to the Viennese theatre scene, since the Raimund and Ronacher rotate actors and ''adore'' the AllStarCast. For example, here are some people who have been in all three shows named above: Mark Seibert (Death - Count von Krolock - Colloredo), Thomas Borchert (Death - von Krolock - Leopold Mozart), Gernot Romic (Rudolf - Alfred/White Vampire - Wolfgang Mozart), et cetera. |
| 674 | * Quite a few of the Icelandic cast members of ''Series/LazyTown'' have also appeared in other Icelandic media such as ''Series/Trapped2015'' or are members of Icelandic theatrical troupes. |
| 675 | ** In another example of Only So Many Icelandic Actors, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkydPOGTJKk Iceland's trollish 2006 Eurovision representative]], Silvía Nótt, is, out-of-character, a serious actress who voiced Elsa in the Icelandic dub of ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' (under her real name, Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir). |
| 676 | * Any TV or movie production filmed in Texas is this, especially when the local anime dubbing talent pool used by Creator/{{Funimation}} and Creator/SentaiFilmworks gets involved. Creator/JasonDouglas has appeared in ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' and ''Film/PlanetTerror'', while Creator/ToddHaberkorn, Creator/JohnSwasey, Duncan Brannan, Creator/RBruceElliott and Creator/JoshMartin have all appeared on ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' (Todd played Mr. Knickerbocker in ''Let's Make Music'', John played the Dad in ''The Night Before Christmas'' special, in Duncan did the voice of Barney at times, Bruce played Grandpa in "Grandpa's Visit" and Mr. Tenagain in "Having Tens of Fun!", and Josh suit-acted Barney from 1997-2006). |
| 677 | ** Additionally, a lot of anime dubbed by Creator/{{Funimation}} itself during the late 2000s often falls under this umbrella, due to the majority of the cast being locals from Texas, so there's a lot of overlap between productions. For example, Creator/BrinaPalencia and Creator/CheramiLeigh, who voice Juvia Lockser and Lucy Heartfilia respectively in ''Manga/FairyTail'', also voice Ciel Phantomhive and Elizabeth Midford respectively in ''Manga/BlackButler''. This can also apply to actors based in Los Angeles, such as Creator/BrycePapenbrook and Creator/MatthewMercer, who voice Caesar Zeppeli and Jotaro Kujo respectively in ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', and Makoto Naegi and Haiji Towa respectively in the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' series. |
| 678 | * Any newer Creator/NickJr show produced in the United States is probably going to have New York voice actors. Some examples include: ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'', ''WesternAnimation/ButterbeansCafe'', ''WesternAnimation/SantiagoOfTheSeas'', ''WesternAnimation/DoraAndFriendsIntoTheCity'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Wallykazam}}'', ''WesternAnimation/NellaThePrincessKnight'', ''WesternAnimation/TeamUmizoomi'', and ''WesternAnimation/SunnyDay''. Almost all the others have voice actors from California or more often Canada. The Canadian ones share voices with ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' as noted above. Some of the New York voiced-shows also tend to share voice talents with older [[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Junior]] shows, such as ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter''. |
| 679 | ** The NYC talent pool also enables some Creator/MuppetPerformers to voice in non-Muppet productions, such as ''WesternAnimation/NatureCat''[[note]]which is also known for using ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' cast members[[/note]], ''WesternAnimation/WordWorld'', and even ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''. [[note]]Tyler Bunch, well-known for playing Elmo's dad Louie, voices Incineroar in that game[[/note]] |
| 680 | ** Additionally, a separate New York talent pool separate from the WesternAnimation[=/=]Muppet one is utilized for most projects handled by Creator/FourKidsEntertainment and Creator/CentralParkMedia. It's rare that this voice pool interacts with the other. ''WesternAnimation/VivaPinata'', a Canadian co-production also uses this pool of voice actors instead of the regular Canadian ones. |
| 681 | * This is the case for pretty much any of the smaller countries that has a significant dubbing scene. For example, the Central European and Balkan countries are particularly guilty of this trope: pretty much none of them go above 10 million. It's not been unheard of for local actors to do triple duty in theaters, live-action productions and in dubbing animation; after all, there is only a small amount of professionally trained talent (and many of these countries have just a single major production center, usually located in the capital city) available, so overlap occurs at a regular pace. |
| 682 | ** This is exaggerated with the dubbing industry in Oradea, Romania. The sole studio there, Total Record, primarily hires a set of theater actors from the Regina Maria Theater's Iosif Vulcan and Arcadia groups for Romanian dubs, while Hungarian dubs done by Total Record use actors from the Regina Maria Theater's Szigligeti group and the occasional actor(s) who commute from Budapest. |
| 683 | ** Many of the Polish dubbing studios located outside Warsaw tend to use local theater actors. |
| 684 | ** Portugal's dubbing industry has a similar thing. The country has a smaller acting community than neighboring Spain, and coupling that with the country having only two major media production centers -- Lisbon (the capital) and Porto (the second-largest city in the country) -- overlap occurs at a regular pace. It's not uncommon for European Portuguese dubbing actors to do triple duty by also doing work in theater and in live action productions. For European Portuguese dubs done in Porto, this happens more often since the city has a smaller pool of professionally trained talent than Lisbon and the fact there are only two major dubbing studios in the city ([=Somnorte=] and [=Cinemágica=]). |
| 685 | * This is the case for pretty much the entire Castilian Spanish dubbing industry outside Madrid and Barcelona. The Castilian dubbing industries in Galicia, the Basque Country and Seville are particularly guilty of this trope: it's not unheard of for Galicia-based Castilian Spanish dubbing actors (who often also take up double duty in Galician dubbing) to commute between ''pretty much every city in the province that has a dubbing studio or three'' to do work; after all, there is only a small amount of trained actors available in cities like Seville or León, so overlap occurs almost inevitably. |
| 686 | * Many productions handled by Japanese production company Creator/{{Bushiroad}}, such as ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'', ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'', ''Anime/LoveLive'' and the Japanese dub of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' tend to have overlapping seiyuus in their productions, with some of the more common ones being Creator/IzumiKitta, Mimori Suzuko and Creator/EmiNitta. |
