Nowadays I get mixed up with some newish actors.. and they dont seem to stand out or be memorable.. but from further back we had so many that were complete ONE OFFs with voices that everyone recognised..
John Wayne.
Burt Lancaster..
Robert Mitchum
Mickey Rooney
Kate Hepburn.
Vincent Price
Morgan Freeman.
James Stewart.
Cary Grant.... any of these could read the phone book to me any day.
No one had voices like these stars from the past... ..now I cant think of one who stands out ..
50 years ago Rich Little made a good career out of doing famous actors voices ...
most had very distinctive voices.....like Jimmy Stewart...John Wayne...Cary Grant....
Today's actors ....not so much....their voices sound generic to me....
I can think of LOTS of actors with distinctive voices.
Matthew McConaughey
Tom Hanks
Johnny Depp
Alan Rickman (RIP)
Chris Rock (personally I can't stand his voice, but you can't say it's not distinctive)
Denzel Washington
Maggie Smith
Christopher Walken
Patrick Warburton
Kristin Chenoweth
Holly Hunter
Owen Wilson
JK Simmons
Patrick Stewart
Jennifer Coolidge
Cate Blanchett

Some good ones there esp.. Denzel.. Alan Rickman and Walken...
The guy who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. He has quite the memorable voice. I can't recall his name at this moment. If you gave me multiple choice, most likely
Other recognizable voices:
Liam Neeson
I don't think I could recognize all those voices from below named list. Maybe John Wayne and Morgan Freeman.
How about Rodney Dangerfield's voice?
Jim Parsons (BBT and Young Sheldon) I can't remember if his last name ends with an "s" or not.
Lucille Ball, maybe.
Musicians:
Freddie Mercury
Alice Cooper
Ozzy (think that's a given )
I'm sure there's others.
Can't get up right now to grab my iPhone that's recharging. I'm currently using a really old iPad. Think I twisted my back out from mowing and weed whacking/trimming yesterday. I'm resting up to a heating pad. I'm hopeful it will get better by afternoon.

Thanks. I got my newest iPad out after dinner and looked it up. I see David Prowse played Darth but they used James Earl Jones for the voice of Darth Vader.
As fast as I was going to add another name, lol, I forgot while typing this.
This is me hitting my own head.
Not that it is going to do any good.
It's 5 seconds in "I'm the acting presidentttttttttt" is what I mean..
