History PlayingAgainstType / ForeignDubbing

* Brazilian dubber Márcio Seixas has a BadassBaritone which landed him the roles of James Bond, Batman, and Clint Eastwood. He was also the voice of Creator/LeslieNielsen, changing the delivery to become a SimpletonVoice (he also reused that voice as Baloo from ''Westernanimation/TaleSpin'').

* The Italian dubber of [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]] was Tullio Solenghi, a comedian who usually plays light and sympathetic roles.

* The late French theater comedian Creator/JeanPiat, who provided the French voice of [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Frollo]], two purely evil animated Disney villains, did the French dubbing for the famous Creator/IanMcKellen portrayal of the wise and heroic [[WizardClassic Gandalf]] in both ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Film/TheHobbit'' film trilogies, which is pretty uproarious considering the fact that, due to the dubber being in his 70s in the 1990s (born in 1924), his role of Scar was nothing short of DawsonCasting since Scar was supposed to be Mufasa's YOUNGER brother. He would be more suitably elderly for the roles of Frollo and Gandalf.[[note]]Some French Disney fans probably felt Piat was more perfectly cast for Frollo than he was for Scar.[[/note]]

* Creator/YujiMitsuya, the Japanese voice of comical, sometimes panicky characters like [[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime Petrie]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Timon]] and [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Pleakley]], did the Japanese voice of the creepily strict MadScientist [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Dr. Finklestein]].

** Alexis Stavrakis is the opposite: he's been [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} Governor Ratcliffe]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Clayton]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Zeus]].
* Norwegian actor Even Stormoen has played three pretty dark Disney villains. [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Clayton]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney}} Judge Claude Frollo ]], and then he played the GentleGiant [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc James P. "Sulley" Sullivan]]

* Bad papa Creator/FumihikoTachiki subverts his type in the Japanese dubs of the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' films, in which his character is a space pirate who raised Peter like he was his own son [[spoiler:and ultimately proves to be a good father compared to his actual father]].

* French-speaking Mauritanian filmmaker Med Hondo, who has been known as the French voice for comic actor Creator/EddieMurphy, did the French voice for the elderly and all-knowing [[MagicalNegro Rafiki]] in [[Franchise/TheLionKing Disney's Lion King franchise]], yet by listening to Hondo's voice coming out of Rafiki, he sounded slightly younger than Scar's French dubber.[[note]]Jean Piat (Scar) was born on September 23rd 1924, but Hondo (Rafiki) was born on May 4th 1936, making him 11 years, 7 months and 11 days younger than Piat. It should be acknowledged that, in terms of character design, Rafiki is the movie's wise and elderly character, not Scar.[[/note]] Even though Hondo was the French voice for other animated characters like Yar from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'' and Bloat from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' - along with Eddie Murphy's [[Franchise/{{Shrek}} Donkey]], making quite jarring that a veteran French dubber would go from voicing a wise, old baboon sage to voicing a fast-talking, simple-minded donkey.

* The Mexican actor Ernesto Lezama is mostly known by voicing comical cartoonish characters, such as WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales, WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Filburt]],[[Franchise/DragonBall Oolong]]...And he also voiced Kaworu Nagisa, a completely serious character from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''

* Mexican bass-baritone Creator/GerardoReyero usually plays TheStoic ([[WesternAnimation/XMen Cyclops]]), the TeamDad ([[{{Manga/Bleach}} Ukitake]]), or the BigBad ([[Anime/DragonBallZ Freezer]]). And then he plays [[{{Manga/Naruto}} Might Guy]]. Even better: In the dub of ''Anime/TokyoGodfathers'', he's [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} Hana]].
