Your favorite actors by voice alone

Val Kilmer was a of an actor in his prime, no doubt; I just don't think of him as a "voice" guy, though.

You're going to tell me his accent and inflection as Doc didn't make that character? He had a way of delivering lines. Not always. But he had this restrained angst, too cool to care delivery and to me, it was a stylish way to talk. I didn't figure voice was limited to octave.

I'd say Kevin Spacey for similar.

I have to go with Walken and Connery.

See, when I think of Kilmer at his best I think of the way he would just completely inhabit a character more than any particular physical or vocal attribute. He was Doc Holiday; he was Jim Morrison. , he could even pull off a Native American character like in Thunderheart (underrated movie, btw.)

Now, Kevin Spacey is a solid choice as a "voice" man. It's almost like the "voice" guys always play themselves, whereas Kilmer could disappear into a role. Like, there are "Kevin Spacey roles" but there are no "Val Kilmer roles" because you never got the feeling Val Kilmer was playing himself. You know what I mean?

I always liked The Salton Sea also.

I'm not saying you're not right. Most of what you're saying is pretty much what I'm saying.

We are interpreting the le of the thread slightly differently. Where you're naming your favorite voice actors, I'm naming the actors whose voices and styles of delivery I always seem to enjoy, regardless of roles, quirks, etc.

Some of them would be considered "voice" actors, but most are more really good actors with a great way of delivering lines in all their movies who also happen to have strong or distinct voices.
