When it comes to cartoon movies or shows, the voice actor doesn’t get much recognition or respect as the live-action actor would. And maybe we are to be blamed for the same. We imagine that all a voice actor does is sit in a recording booth and make some silly and hilarious voices. And probably the voice actor can even go to work in pajamas!

But it is actually very hard. A voice actor rarely gets to become a celebrity. We might not know their names but we certainly know their work. Here are some of the characters who had the same voice actor but none of us ever noticed!

1. Justin Roiland

Is it just us who didn’t know this? Justin Roiland is the voice behind both Rick and Morty on the show Rick and Morty. That’s some amazing talent to be able to voice characters that have this age gap between them. And that’s not all! The voice actor has also lent his voice to Oscar on Fish Hooks.
