** The English dub of the TV series had a very surprising example of this trope with Creator/RichardIanCox as Big Billy (later known as Big Boy). Out of all the Gangreen Gang members [[Manga/InuYasha Richard]] [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ian]] [[WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution Cox]] played Big Boy, granted he does try to do a different type of voice though. (But of course this could belong to WTHCastingAgency.)
