Coolest IMDB resume EVAH? (Megatron, Raiders, Mars Attacks! and... Diana Ross?)

Unattainable Ideal
Okay, you have to check out this guy's resume:

Frank Welker

He's a voice actor who's done Megatron, Scooby-Doo, Barney Rubble, provided the Martian "voices" in Mars Attacks!, "special vocal effects" in Raiders, was Abu the monkey in Aladdin, and well... look for yourself. He's been in EVERYTHING.

He was Spock! He was the snake in Anaconda! He was Schmoo! He was Dr. Claw! He was Slimer! Dagwood! Toto! Spike the gremlin! He was in Species! Sea Quest! Tank Girl! Independence Day! The Powerpuff Girls!

It's crazy! And he apparently got his start in standup comedy, opening for (among others) Diana Ross.

Which made me think... I bet Megatron is BASED on Diana Ross... What do you say? Is Megatron the original diva?

Starscream likes to think he's a Diva.

Aside - I once thought that Astral Deva was pronounced Astral Diva. I got strange looks from my players that session.

Edit: HOLY MOTHER! He was Mr Chubbikins on Freakazoid!

I can't remember the name, but the lady that does Olga in Metal Gear Solid 2 had an almost equally huge/insane resume. TONS of stuff I'd not really expected/thought about.
 

Wow, this guy IS amazing. Although, I did lose lots of respect when I saw this:

"Dungeons & Dragons" (1983/I) TV Series (voice) .... Uni"

*shudder* Uni's shrill squeals still haunt me to this very day...

Spider
 

Wow, talk about flashbacks. This guy did all the shows I used to watch:

Marvin on the Superfriends, Hong Kong Phooey, H.E.R.B.I.E on the New Fantastic Four, Iceman on Spiderman and His Amazing Friends, GI Joe...

Sounds like he'd be a great guy to have at a party.

Yeah, but he was also Tiamat...
 


Wowser, B-Core. That's the mother lode of voice over artists. And he's only 59 years old! Sometimes I'll see an extensive resume for someone who died at 80 and it isn't half as long.
 


What I find amazing is:
He has done every voicing of Freddy "Fred" Jones for the Scooby-Doo series. Even in parodies and cameos on different TV shows, he has always done his voice.

That is 35 years doing the same voice!
 

Megatron. The guy was Megatron.

VC: note that only Mel Blanc of those you listed has more credits -- and come on, Mel Blanc is a total gimme. It's this guy's RANGE that really impresses, though -- Don Messick and June Foray were doing pretty similar characters all the time. This guy did MEGATRON and ABU THE MONKEY. I'm having trouble coming up with two characters LESS like each other.

Other than the obvious Diana Ross similarities... :D
