So I finally figured I'd give Naruto Shippuden a try. Sure the parts of the manga I read post-timeskip were awful but maybe the beginning wasn't so bad I thought.

I was right. The beginning of Shippuden is quite awesome and introduced me to one of my favorite voice-actor's best roles ever.

So yeah, this all relates back to the topic at hand. I'm sure most people here are at least a little familiar with one Johnny Yong Bosch.
As the voice of Vash and Ichigo, he's pretty damn famous as far as VAs go. However, in Naruto Shippuden, he voiced the villain Sasori. This has to be his best role since Vash and it even rivals that. The cold, sinister speech perfectly captured Sasori's inhuman yet tragic nature. His Hollow Ichigo is nice but anyone can sound threatening when they laugh like a lunatic. The fact he sounded just as twisted yet only spoke in soft, gentle tones is just very impressive to me and why I love him in this role.

YouTube is run by douchebags so most people can't even see the vid I uploaded because of copyright blocking. However, that's why I put it on my phootobucket.

Well...that's enough from me. Who are your favorite voice-actors and their best roles?

One of the german voice actors I like is called Simon Jäger. But unfortunately he is the german voice of Sephiroth as well - and that's not acceptable.

Kind of confused about what the topic of the thread is--title asks for the least favourite role of your favourite actor, but then the text says 'what are your favourites' best roles'.

That's my bad. My comp or browsers or whatever seems to save stuff I wrote for Titles. I've made both a Favorite Roles and a Least Favorite Roles topic elsewhere so I thought I clicked the saved Favorite Roles title.

Guess not. My apologies.

Steve Blum is without a doubt one of the best male voice actors out there, but he made Vincent Valentine sound like he has throat cancer.

Bosch is great, but he gets way too much work! When I first started playing P4 I didn't quite like him as Adachi (the acting and the role are both nice, I just didn't feel like they matched because I had just finished Code Geass xD) but he grew on me. He's one of my favorite characters!

Anyway my least favorite is probably James Arnold Taylor (he voices characters like Tidus and Ratchet and does a voice in every cartoon ever) when he plays Judge Fudge. His acting is okay, I just don't like Judge Fudge.

The same guy that did Vash did Adachi? WTF? I love him as Adachi.

Not to fond of his role as Sasori honestly.

He voices the main character too if you couldn't tell by his grunts!

I always found it interesting that they had the same voice actor and Adachi has like a dark version of Izanagi!

I need to watch Gurren Lagann NOW!

But anyway, I always like Yuri Lowenthal as the Prince [of Persia], but I hated his voice for some role in the Dynasty Warriors series, I don't play the games, but my brother would probably know the name. He tries too hard to make his voice flamboyant; the exact opposite of the regal voice of the Prince.

EDIT: the dude's name is Zhang He YouTube - Dynasty Warriors 5: Zhang He - Dance 'til Dawn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM0ekCcDuqg)
Then again, I don't like anyone's voices in Dynasty Warriors; regardless of how they act in anything else.

My all time favourite VA has to be Jason Marsden for his Amazing portrayal of Haku in Spirited Away.
