    If by no mention you mean first-post first-listed, then yes, there has been no mention.

    Aetius is black and I have him on ignore so his first post doesn't count. Besides... THE LION KING? Really? Darth Vader sautes baby lions in bacon grease for breakfast.

    I mostly use my PS3 for Netflix streaming, but I played Castlevania purely for Sir Patrick Stewart's narration.

    Through some convoluted mess, I'm somehow related and got to meet him at a family reunion about 10 years ago - he was hilarious in person, and his voice sounded EXACTLY like that in real life.

    Vader is lame and James Earl Jones sounds like the name of a rapist/murder on death row. He has nothing on Morgan Freeman.

    Not really the greatest voice(s) of all time or anything, but those that you don't notice how perfect they are until there's another one in its place . . .

    There aren't as many female voice-over actors, and rarely any female trailer narrators. But, I am thankful that Loraine Nelson and Dr Joan Kenley set the standards as voicemail ladies. (Kenley has appeared as the "woman on the phone" on the Simpsons a few times.)

    Kate Walsh's Cadilac commercial--great voice.

    I also think that Demi Moore would be a decent voiceover choice. She's got a nice sexy, raspy tone.

    God, that commercial creeps me out. There's no reason to be that turned on by a car. Especially Crappy Luxury Sedan #153.

    A man's voice needs to sound sexy reading a phone book. He needs to sound in control and masculine whether he's reading a script, or giving an interview. In order to be one of the greats, I've got to be able to imagine hearing him whisper in my ear all the dirty, wonderful, naughty things we're going to do as we're getting nakey.

    Speaking of old school masters of horror, John Carradine (also known as the Great Owl from Secret of NIMH).



    God, what I'd give to have that man's voice. I'd probably be neck-deep in vagina for the rest of my life.

    I could give a shit what she's saying--it's about how she's saying it.

    She could be recorded saying, "...and now I'm inserting the funnel into my ass and pouring in the Africanized bees and fire ants" and her voice would still sound appealing.

    Oh you poor, misguided fools. I've got four words for you: THE MAN IN BLACK.



    I could listen to Johnny Cash sing anything, and it would kick ass; no matter what it is, he could make it sound awesome. If you disagree with me, see my avatar.

    I have to nod Matt Berry, who plays Douglas on The I.T. Crowd. Desppite the fact he's one of the funniest TV characters in history, the dude has the coolest British accent I've ever heard. It's so blissfully hyperdramatic:

    How in the hell did I forgot John Goodman? "...From nostril to rectum, now until the end of TIME."
