best celebrity voice actor performances number 10 samuel l.jackson as lucious best Frozone The Incredibles I kind of think you need everything a few years before debuting is Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe samuel l.jackson saved the day as this slick superhero possessing ice powers and a laid-back personality Frozone is cool in every sense of the word so as you can imagine Jackson was an ideal casting choice wanna catch Robert no tell you the truth I'd rather go bowling what if we actually did what our wives think we're doing in The Incredibles Jackson hits everyone liner out of the park making Frozone sound like a total badass he additionally hits all the right notes as frozen's alter-ego lucious best acting as a supportive best friend to Bob Parr hey the night's still young very late how do I look good oh you still got the mask of course Jackson's best line delivery occurs during an argument between lucious and his wife honey we'll never get tired of hearing Jackson asked where is my supersuit number 9 Johnny Depp as Rango Rango it's certainly nothing I've ever done better done before Johnny Depp is one of those performers that can slip into any role like a chameleon likewise Rango is an actual chameleon that can blend into his environment like a Hollywood actor having spent most of his time behind glass this lizard faces an identity crisis when he becomes stranded in the desert look I need water hydration my teeth are chapped I need lotion I'm down to one layer of skin already pretty soon I'm gonna start seeing my insides the timid Rango is able to survive by taking on the persona of a Western hero although this inevitably lands him in hot water you might say I'm what Hills already name's Rango Rango is constantly shifting between being courageous cowardly confident and in over his head but Depp's performance is perfectly balanced believe in net there side he completely loses himself in this role making us forget about the actor behind the character as long as that sign says sheriff you can believe that there's law and order in this town but without know in order ruminate on that number eight john c reilly is wreckit-ralph residentsleeper why is delightful as the titular character supplying him with a childlike innocence as we all know however children can be selfish naive and aggressive too well unless you've got a go-kart hidden in the back folds of your neck I can't help you in Ralph's case he's basically a troubled kid trapped in an overgrown body even when Ralph is at his worst though Riley still manages to make him loveable and someone that viewers can identify with it's game over for both of you know just for me behind his hostile tendencies there's an individual with a genuine soul which Riley brings out of Ralph as he discovers his true purpose in life turns out I don't need a medal to tell me I'm a good guy cuz if that little kid likes me [Music] how bad can I be number seven Jay Baruchel as hiccup horrendous haddock the third the How to Train Your Dragon franchise so what shall we name it yeah it's your pitted ish naturally possessing a nerdy almost nasally voice Jay Baruchel couldn't have been better suited to play hiccup a scrawny Viking living in his mighty father's shadow keeping this much Rob Viking this contained there will be consequences I'll take my chances a lesser actor might have portrayed this character is a one-dimensional nerd bearish he'll turns in a multi-layered performance however bringing out hiccup strength wisdom and compassion as he forms a powerful bond with a dragon as this series progresses beerus shell develops hiccup into a brave noble leader with a great deal of depth all the while Marichal maintains an offbeat charm that distinguishes hiccup from the rest of the crowd you never cease to amaze me bud thank you number six John Goodman as James P Sully Sullivan the Monsters Inc franchise you can train monsters like this all you want but you can't change who you are one of the most versatile actors around John Goodman knows how to play a threatening monster but he can be a gentle giant as well as James P Sullivan Goodman gives a big blue Beast a heart of gold [Music] although Sully is the best scarer at Monsters Inc he's really a friendly everyman behind the scenes very emotional when a little human girl is set loose in Monstropolis Sully emerges as a nurturing parental figure that will protect her at any cost to catch you home empathetic affectionate and cuddly Goodman makes you want to give Sully a hug we dare you not to get choked up when he tells boo that Kitty has to go goodbye boo kitty has to go number five Chris Pratt as emmet brickowski the lego movie no no no not that wrong and that's it check em it may seem like a run-of-the-mill construction worker on the surface thanks to Chris Pratt's endearing performance though he's truly one of a kind he's just as blind as a guy whose eyes don't work an ordinary minifigure with a very special destiny Hemet emerges as both a goofball and an unlikely action hero Pratt flawlessly expresses all of Emmett's passion creativity and enthusiasm where are we even when he's performing the most routine tasks Emmit sounds like he's on top of the world shoot bullet bullet gun that Zeb that pals that POW what are they looking at III mean st. Pratt also brings humanity to the character molding this yellow brick into an encouraging role model we care about equally silly and sincere no actor in Hollywood could likely capture Emmett's essence quite like Pratt look cop shows on TV and is in there supposed to be a good cop in this area also number four Jack Black is PO King the Kung Fu Panda franchise I'm gonna do something I never thought I'd be able to do I'm going to teach kung fu' Jack Black might have a bit of a belly but he's still one of the most energetic and physical comedic presences around whoa the Furious Five you're so much bigger than your action figures except for you mantis you're about the same black was tailor-made to voice PO a chubby panda who lives and breathes kung fu almost everybody doubts po when he singled out as the Dragon Warrior so so too what what I don't know Chi Chi regardless the slow overweight Panda steps up to the challenge with an appetite to learn pose eagerness wonderfully complements the stern authoritative Master Shifu who is voiced by Dustin Hoffman in a strong performance PO the day you were chosen as Dragon Warrior was the worst day of my life by far nothing else came close black makes the audience root for PO every step of the way evening out the characters gullibility clumsiness and insecurities with wit determination and confidence now free the five destruction number three amy poehler as joy inside out or hold on guys it sparkly although Mindy Kaling as disgust is certainly an inspired casting choice Amy Poehler's portrayal of joy is simply irresistible the very definition of happiness joy attempts to put a smile on young Riley's face when life gets her down being a basic human emotion joy easily could have been a one-note character all right everyone fresh start we're gonna have a good day which will turn into a good week which will turn into a good year which turns into a good life Polar's performance brings a surprising amount of complexity to the role however although joy constantly tries to think positive she eventually comes to understand the importance of sadness joy you guys get up there sadness it's up to you I can't joy yes you can Riley needs you with just her voice Poehler is able to light up the screen while also making the audience bawl their eyes out taking us on an emotional journey unlike any other I'll try bing-bong I promise number two will Ferrell as Megamind Megamind even the smallest bite from Iraq - death occurs instantly paralyzed Will Ferrell has a knack for taking potentially unlikable characters and giving them a lovable quality Megamind is a perfect example an alien who aspires to take over Metro City Megamind is egotistical manipulative and dastardly deep down though he's not exactly evil he just sees super villainy as his only career option of course once he finally defeats his nemesis his existence suddenly lacks meaning always thirsty never satisfied I understand you little well-dressed bird feral totally throws himself into this role having a ton of fun playing a childish mastermind who's prone to failure my face is on fire right now if you're gonna do this at home don't do with a can of spray paint use go to a makeup or a hobby store simultaneously barrel makes us sympathize with this misguided antihero who just needs a push in the right direction you did it you won well I finally had a reason to win you before we unveil our number one pick here are some honorable mentions [Music] and I was flying through the air and it was boy it was magic you do like it here don't you Coraline uh-huh everything you see is yours at home there that's iris I mean the trees yours but the holes arms you'll have to kill me first not first no I'll stop with your men number one Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug The Hobbit franchise this mountain dragon is brought to life through Benedict Cumberbatch's Stiller voiceover work as well as his motion capture performance I smell you commanding the silver screen Cumberbatch supply Smaug with a huge bombastic vocal presence at the same time Cumberbatch also brings a fair deal of sophistication to the role then you could watch them die every line Cumberbatch recites makes the audience feel as if a ginormous snake is slithering around them even if smile were the size of Bilbo Baggins Cumberbatch's deep intimidating voice would still send a shiver of our spines that's the true mark of a great villain and an even greater actor plus it's always a pleasure to see Sherlock and Watson together even when one's a dragon and the others a hobbit do you agree with our list what's your favorite celebrity voice actor performance who are you buddy I am the Dragon Warrior ah for more entertaining top 10s published every day be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com this is going to be harder than they thought yes together bee hive
