*** Similarly, Patrick Stewart being cast as the yokian king in ''Film/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' qualifies under the comedic against-type casting as well, seeing how his overall character was somewhat comical in spite of his essentially being a sacrificing genocidal ruler.

* RichardStevenHorvitz is usually known for playing goofy, loudmouthed characters who scream a lot such as WesternAnimation/InvaderZim, Dagget from ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'', and Billy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.

Eventually, he loses it and tries to kill his tormentors with a gun, but he is stopped before he can do anything. The gun still goes off, though, and nearly kills [[spoiler: Ritchie]].

* Many of the actors from ''{{WesternAnimation/Gargoyles}}'' were also ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' alumni. First up, we have Riker playing David Xanatos. Then, Troi playing both Demona and one half of the TropeNamer YuppieCouple. Also, Geordi as Anansi. Janeway as Titania. Data playing ''Puck''.
** On a minor note, those of you familiar with the voice of Lexington who was the good guy/[[WordOfGay gay gargoyle]] may not spot him as the psychopathic Simon in ''InvasionAmerica''.
* Speaking of Data and GregWeisman cartoons, he plays a very [[WouldHurtAChild knife happy]] Joker in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.
* Casting PatrickStewart as Seti in ''ThePrinceOfEgypt'' might be considered a DoubleSubversion, as he initially acts like a typical "Patrick Stewart character" as a tough but loving father and authority figure deserving of respect. Then, in sharp opposition to the usual PatrickStewartSpeech, he gives a lecture to Moses justifying feeding thousands of Hebrew infants to the crocodiles. Even though the audience is likely to know of the almost-genocide from the Passover story, having Stewart in this role makes it shocking.
** In a much less serious (and probably intentional) note, in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad,'' Stewart was cast as Avery Bullock, Stan's often whimsical and bizarre boss.
*** Going even further, an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' had ''all'' the Next Gen actors reprising their roles...as ''themselves''. Except that Stewart is the abusive father figure, Frakes is vapid, Dorn is the gentle guy, and Wheaton is the overeager chi...wait a second...
---->'''Wheaton:''' ''[at a drive-thru]'' [[{{Caddyshack}} I want a hamburger. No, cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...]]
---->'''Stewart:''' ''[smacking him hard in the head]'' [[{{Caddyshack}} You'll get nothing, and like it!]]
---> ''[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Number One, would you join me in a laugh if I said Commander Worf's forehead looked like a fanny?]]''
*** Similarly, Patrick Stewart being cast as the yokian king in ''Film/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' qualifies under the comedic against-type casting as well, seeing how his overall character was somewhat comical in spite of his essentially being a sacrificing genocidal ruler.
** ''ThePrinceOfEgypt'' had this in spades: action hero-type Val Kilmer as Moses/God comes to mind.
** Speaking of Michael Dorn, he is also known as the cute and brainy [[TheAce ace]] of ''IAmWeasel''.

** Hong also played goofy Mr. Miyagi parodies in ''BallsOfFury'' and ''Totally Awesome''.
* Though his other roles may not fit, the decision to cast DavidKaye as Optimus Prime in ''TransformersAnimated'' raised many eyebrows among the fans, given that Kaye's usual role in previous ''Transformers'' series' has been ''Megatron''.
** Which series? FrankWelker was Megatron in TheTransformers.
** He was Mega/Galvatron in ''The UnicronTrilogy'', but his most famous turn was as the ''BeastWars'' Megatron, [[VerbalTic yeeessss...]]
* Casting Ed Asner as Granny Goodness in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' was probably supposed to be this, but felt [[InkSuitActor surprisingly appropriate]].
* ''TheWildThornberrys'' had TimCurry, he of the deliciously slimy and evil-sounding voice, playing the energetic, good-natured, and wholeheartedly lovable naturalist Nigel Thornberry.
* RichardStevenHorvitz is usually known for playing goofy, loudmouthed characters who scream a lot such as ''InvaderZim'', Dagget from ''TheAngryBeavers'', and Billy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. However he played a serious role in ''StaticShock'' in which he played Jimmy Osgood, a shy, nerdy boy who was often bullied. Eventually, he loses it and tries to kill his tormentors with a gun, but he is stopped before he can do anything. The gun still goes off, though, and nearly kills a student.
* DiedrichBader. You know, [[TheDitz Oswald]] from ''TheDrewCareyShow''? Now he's playing [[WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand Warp Darkmatter]], [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Hoss Delgado]], and '''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold BATMAN]]'''.
* KeithDavid, known for playing DarkIsNotEvil characters. His role as Dr. Facilier in ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' only kept the dark part, and he also has a humorous side. Usually, the characters David plays are serious.
* GreyDeLisle usually specialises in voicing nasty, unsympathetic teenaged girls such as Mandy in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', Vicky in ''TheFairlyOddparents'', and the downright diabolical Azula in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. In ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', however, she voices Frankie, an essentially caring and good-natured caretaker, and Goo, a friendly (if overtalkative) youngster. More recently, she's given her voice to Doc Holiday from ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', a caring and friendly scientist who's a surrogate mother to the protagonist.
** And not only that, she was [[CliffordTheBigRedDog Emily Elizabeth]] and [[WowWowWubzzy Wubzzy]] as well.
* Compare RonPerlman's usual roles of {{Badass}}es to his role on ''DannyPhantom'' as Mr. Lancer, who pretty much is a wuss and can't fight.
** This troper was ''severely'' confused when she first heard [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Slade]] using the same voice that once cried "To kill a mockingbird!!" as a curse.
* Lorenzo Music, the voice of DeadpanSnarker ''{{Garfield|AndFriends}}'' in most of his animated appearances until his death, was also the sweet [[Main/TheFool fool hero]] Ralph (the all-purpose animal) in 1983's ''TwiceUponATime''.
* MarkHamill is most well-known for two roles: [[StarWars Luke Skywalker]] and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries the Joker]]. Can you get two more divergent roles?
** Mark has also voiced various other major villains, such as [[{{Spider-ManTheAnimatedSeries}} the Hobgoblin]], [[SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo the Skeleton King]], [[CastleInTheSky Colonel Muska]], [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Fire Lord Ozai]], and [[SpyroTheDragon Malefor]].
** He also voices the enigmatic, morally ambiguous likes of [[{{Metalocalypse}} Mr. Selactia]] and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold The Specter]].
** Or he's done some heroic, but a wee bit to effeminate or sissy sounding characters like [[TimeSquad Larry 3000]] and Sean the fairy in RalphBakshi's ''Wizards''
** For more classic, [[ChewingTheScenery scenery-chewing]] villainous roles, he also voices Undergrowth in ''DannyPhantom'' and Captain Stickybeard in ''CodenameKidsNextDoor''.
*** Most of his characters are very clever in some way. But the big, [[DumbMuscle stupid]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]] [[JusticeLeague Solomon Grundy]] ain't.
* RobPaulsen, who is usually known for his comedic roles, voices cruel, serious, foul-mouthed gangster Sal Maroni in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamKnight''.
** He also voiced a bigoted racist in a recent episode of ''ComicStrip/TheBoondocks'', yelling "Get that nigger off the stage!"
*** And Riley's soft spoken, ShellShockedVeteran painting teacher.
*** Don't forget his role as Gray Fox in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid: The Twin Snakes'', and fans of the series would think of Gray Fox as anything ''but'' comical.
* HyndenWalch, someone who's played characters that are incredibly kind like [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Starfire]], [[ChalkZone Penny Sanchez]], and [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Princess Bubblegum]]... plays the frightening, four-armed girl Breach in ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex''.
** Not as extreme, but a villainess nonetheless, was Harley Quinn in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
* JohnDiMaggio, known for his gruff voice and New Jersey accent, as the usually high-pitched [[TheJoker Joker]] in ''BatmanUnderTheRedHood''. However, upon hearing the performance, [[AndTheFandomRejoiced most people actually liked it]].
* CharlieAdler, well known for comedic roles like [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Buster Bunny]], [[BrandyAndMrWhiskers Mr. Whiskers]], and that cuddly pink dragon from ''MyLittlePony'', as well as [[LargeHam crazy overdramatic]] characters like [[WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters Ickis]], [[CowAndChicken The Red Guy]], and [[IAmWeasel I.R. Baboon]], voices Cobra Commander in ''GIJoeResolute'', who is quite possibly the darkest and most [[CompleteMonster monstrously evil]] incarnation of the character to date. He continues the role with ''GIJoeRenegades.'' He also played BadassFurry Chance "T-Bone" Furlong in ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats''.
** In an inverse to the DavidKaye {{Transformers}} example listed above, Adler also voiced the villainous Starscream in the live-action movies. His best known {{Transformers}} role prior to that was as the considerably more heroic Aerialbot leader Silverbolt in the original cartoon.
* Pamela Segal Adlon, usually known for voicing young boys or spunky or motherly women, voiced Luanne's violent, promiscuous, alcoholic, neglectful mother in an episode of ''KingOfTheHill''.
** She also plays a tiny coke-snorting sex fiend on ''{{Californication}}''
* ''{{Disney/Mulan}}'' also had this as well. No, it's not the title character. You know the character Yao? Well, that guy is voiced by Harvey Fierstein, who is nothing like that character.
* ''Film/OverTheHedge'' has an enthusiastic, cheerful raccoon named RJ voiced by BruceWillis. Also, WilliamShatner as a possum. With Music/AvrilLavigne as his daughter.
** One of the latter two takes part in the song over the closing credits. And it's ''not'' Avril.
* Any character played by TomKenny who isn't [[RalphWiggum dimwitted]], [[CloudCuckoolander goofy]], [[{{Keet}} energetic]], lovable, crazy, [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth annoying]] or just plain silly in any way will count as this.
* BillieLouWatt, who earned her fame in animation as the voice actress for the [[TheMessiah messiah-like]] main characters from ''Anime/AstroBoy,'' and ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'', has her final role prior to retiring being Eustace's mother, ''[[CourageTheCowardlyDog Courage The Cowardly Dog's]]'' resident {{Jerkass}}.
* CreeSummer is famous for voicing young African-American women in most animated cartoons (''CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''DrawnTogether'', ''{{WesternAnimation/Rugrats}}''/''AllGrownUp'', ''{{WesternAnimation/Histeria}}'', etc.), but the first few characters she ever voiced were actually Caucasian women, such as Penny from ''InspectorGadget'' and Elmyra Duff from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' (her father is white). However, recently, Cree decided to go both ways and as a result, some of the later characters she actually voiced appear to be [[DarkSkinnedBlonde dark-skinned women]] with {{white hair|edPrettyGirl}} and BlueEyes (''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'').
** And then there's her role as the poodle ''Cleo'' in CliffordTheBigRedDog...
* DannyCooksey is mostly known for voicing a lot of jerks and juvenile delinquents such as [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Montana Max]], [[StaticShock Hotstreak]], [[KickButtowski Brad Buttowski]], and [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Jack Spicer]], but he also voiced the good natured albeit cowardly DaveTheBarbarian and the soft spoken, artistic {{sensitive guy|AndManlyMan}} Milo in ''PepperAnn''.
* One Mr. Adam Baldwin, known for his roles as complete gruff badasses (Jayne Cobb), plays the cowardly and not so gruff Finn in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''.
** Mr. Baldwin was also Hal Jordan in ''JusticeLeague'' and Superman/Clark Kent in ''SupermanDoomsday.'' He reprises the latter role for ''DCUniverseOnline.''
* TonyJay as [[{{WesternAnimation/Rugrats}} Dr. Lipschitz.]]
* ChantalStrand, who normally plays sweet, innocent, ShrinkingViolet type characters like {{Madeline}}, [[DragonTales Cassie]], and [[{{Anime/Hamtaro}} Bijou]], was cast against type as RichBitch Gemini Stone in ''SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'', [=McKenna=] in ''CareBears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot'' and Diamond Tiara in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.''
* Back in the 80's, Jerry Orbach was known for playing on Broadway, as the "touch but fair" dad of ''DirtyDancing'', and playing mobsters...so what was he doing playing a [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Space Cowboy]]? Well, he had never done animation up until that point...
* When the intelligent, calm, in-control, thoroughly evil Catbert appeared on ''{{Dilbert}}'', he was voiced by Jason Alexander. [[{{Seinfeld}} George Costanza]], [[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Abis Mal]] and {{Duckman}} fail to qualify as having any of Catbert's characteristics (with the possible exception of the latter)...
* The awesome cool ScottMcNeil has these moments as well. You may know him as an awesome action hero role type of VA, but do you know he's also played roles of [[DragonTales Pungeon Masters]] and [[{{Hamtaro}} Chicken-phobic shy teachers]] and was even a [[CareBears Care Bear]]? Now you do.
