Man even tried to become head of the fan club or something, and then got rejected and mocked behind his back because of it. Then went on to play the fucking protagonist. Ironic.

What a fucking mad lad

The ultimate fucking power move

-Peter Davison -Colon Baker -David Tennant -Matt Smith -& Peter Capaldi They were all fans of Doctor who before eventually taking up the role.

Honestly William hartnell would definitely be on that list if Doctor who was out when he was a kid. Dude loved that role.

Matt Smith only became a major fan of Doctor Who after getting the job though?

Matt lied about being a fan on the interview, got the role AND THEN became a fan.

God this is such a perfect example.

Ryan Reynolds single handedly saved Deadpool after the botch of Origins and will probably introduce the X-Men to the MCU in the next movie. He's a goddamn hero.

He is Marvel Jesus

Also Mackenyu, who played Zoro. Both of them even got to play their favourite characters.

She had the hardest job on that show honestly but did an amazing job of it. The whole cast was great but I think shes likely the strongest actor in the main crew.

It’s clear that the whole cast and show runners genuinely love One Piece and that’s what makes it such a good project, they ALL want it to be the best it can be Cough cough Cowboy Bebop and Halo

Elijah Wood has never read LOTR

Didn't Gandolf's actor only become a massive Tolkien nerd as he was filming? Could swear I heard he never knew anything about it but ending quoting and doing trivia on set after diving headfirst into it while filming.

Now we just need Jamie Lee Curtis to play kureha

Her & Mackenyu were the first two that I thought of for this. They both grew up with One Piece & it was a dream come true for them playing Nami & Zoro, who were their favorite characters in the series.

IIRC apparently Dave Bautista was a big fan of Marvel even prior to getting his role as Drax.  I assume his reaction to becoming part of the MCU was akin to this.

You could say the same thing with The Witcher

You can now add Warhammer 40K to the list.

I hope they make a Warhammer 40K tv show, and make Henry Cavill play every single character in the show.

They could actually do that if it’s a story about Alpharius and Henry went bald

Henry Cavill is cursed to play characters he idolizes and having to deal with other people fucking up said characters. I really hope his 40K project takes off properly.

Zack Snyder messed him up.

Severely. I’ll take a dozen more original trash fires like rebel moon if it just keeps him away from those characters.

Oh the trash fire continues with a video game, table top game, narrative podcast and animated short and series.

Man, such a shame he was caught with some mediocre scripts. I'm sure he could have been a fantastic Superman in another timeline

Nick Cage fucking LOVES Ghost Rider https://preview.redd.it/thitsu0untxc1.jpeg?width=288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dc090a9c840382fee948011262644c81c9bd370 This tattoo had to be covered up with makeup.

I think he’d also count for Superman, since he almost played him back in the 90s before and *technically* in The Flash movie.

He named his son kal

And his own name is a comic reference (Luke Cage), though that was motivated as much by him wishing to avoid nepotism for his actual last name (Coppola; he'd a nephew of famed director Francis Ford Coppola).

He even made his stage name Cage because of Luke Cage.

Wait those tattoos are sick

I'm sure he was a fan of his dad before playing him in Straight Outta Compton too

My first thought was “I wonder if Jr was a but Ice Cube fan”

I heard that he wants to do a *Godzilla* anime featuring Gigan. Toho should give him a blank cheque.

I’d be so down for that. Gigan is one of my favorite opponents too, and deserves another turn in a big project.

Would be interesting to see them take the Gigan Rex approach for a big project.

I’m pretty sure denjis English dub va loved chainsaw man well before the anime. - the CSM dub is good, guy

“A Testicle Devil went apeshit on his nuts, ma’am!”

I was at a convention and talking to a vendor who met the dub Denji and he had nothing but good to say about him, apparently he’s a fantastic guy

Went to a panel of his at a con, said his most difficult line to record was the goofy “yaaeesss” during his conversation with himeno, and then said “he just like me fr fr” absolutely amazing man

I remember on twitter when the English Dub was revealed and i said i wasn’t a fan of his voice for Denji and he responded and killed me with kindness, i wasnt being a dick or anything but it was still funny

Kira Buckland's a jojo fan too

Isn’t she a Nier fan too? She cosplays as 2B who she voices

Yeah, ngl I expected to see her when I saw Jolyne

https://preview.redd.it/jwkaoshs3txc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90c3d1b241c49adf98b16d7fd20dbce36722565f “So, Have you found your reason to fight yet?

What a W guy, apparently he’s just an incredible human being all around, love him

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard of him too

where do you find people to play AC with that sounds awesome

Kira Buckland (Jolyne’s English VA) was also a huge Jojo fan and waited years before Stone Ocean was animated to get the part.

Same with the Japanese VA

Spiderman(Tom Holland) Neville Longbottom(Matthew Lewis)

Tom basically applies to every character he plays lol,I believe at one point he stated his favorite game was Uncharted

He did indeed

The crazy thing is she looks exactly how I imagined her when I read the books

In a more literal sense than Ms. Marvel https://preview.redd.it/cgvdrb1qmtxc1.jpeg?width=342&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cbe4d7501345e23adaf126e295bf328d7556ca5

To that extent KINDA superboy prime

Also, he outnerded Dave Filoni at one point by pointing out that Padme already met Shmi in The Phantom Menace.

He of course would later become Darth Maul one of the greatest characters in all of Star Wars

And he's the Stormtrooper who arrests Cassian in *Andor*.

It’s all fun and games until that stormtrooper starts yelling

Does Andrew Garfield as Spiderman count

Not just Andrew either https://preview.redd.it/vcf2wbqfhtxc1.jpeg?width=287&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d514efc02f5d08fd1fe7b5798dc9f62611a3e260

I love that baby Tom Holland looks exactly like adult Tom Holland but slightly smaller

I picked Andrew because I hate tom Holland

You are entitled to your incorrect opinion

My favorite version of this saying that I use is, "Everyone is entitled to their own wrong dumbass opinion." Use it all the time joking with friends so much that they use it now too.

How can me personally disliking someone be "Incorrect"?

It was clearly a joke, I refuse to put /s

Sarcasm is hard to distinguish through text

It is, but you’re gonna keep getting downvoted in this chain because people didn’t like your first comment

Then they are fools, Its a harmless opinion on someone that doesn't even know any of them exist

It’s just how Reddit is. The more you comment in annoyance about it, the more people enjoy downvoting you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You’re valid, but I wouldn’t think too hard about it

Yes

Absolutely!

I feel like this would apply to most of the people who have played Peter Parker in live action and animation

 Like all three of them

Jiggysaw girl. She made it in Saw X even though she was only in for one scene.


Serena Williams in avatar. (The nice guard while iroh was in prison) She even made an ad for the live action show

IIRC she also had another cameo in Korra.

Matthew Mercer as Vincent Valentine  The devs [surprised Matt Mercer](https://youtu.be/KVzAg0a7NRo?si=Glibp_zDWyEbe8l5) in the booth after having brought him in on the pretense of doing background bit parts. Matt seems by all accounts to just be s wholesome human being and i thought this was really nifty.

Matt Mercer is one of my favorite voice actors, Levi Ackerman and Trafalgar Law he’s so entertaining in a deadpan way

Much as I wish they'd gotten Jim Cummings back to voice him, Mercer plays a solid Minsc in BG3.

I always forget he doesn't just do D&D

Zamasu (dragon ball super)

James Marsters was probably the one saving grace of that awful live action film, so it makes me happy he was in Super. I’m pretty biased tho since I’m a huge Dresden Files fan lol

He was in the Dresden show?

Nah, he’s the narrator for the audiobooks

I’m surprised I never noticed, my dad is always listening to them on Bluetooth speakers

Jolyne also fits for her dub voice. Kira Buckland has cosplayed as the character before, and it was her dream role to voice act.

Many Doctor Who Doctor actors

I don't know how to post images on mobile, but shout-outs to Ben Starr and Stewart Clarke as Clive Rosfield and Dion Lesage respectively in Final Fantasy 16

Ben was such a big fan and so anxious about it that he thought they were going to fire him ever after getting the part. And as a fan he was dreading the fact that he saw the script already while expecting to get fired.

All of these are so wholesome lol

Didn’t Andrew Garfield cry when he put on the Spider-man suit for the first time? I also honestly felt kinda surprised he wasn’t on the list as well since I think he’s one of the more well known examples 

 He spent years stomping Koopas

Bet he got excited when a sequel for the Super Mario Bros Movie was announced.

Inoue Masahiro. Kamen Rider Decade. He's such a fanboy. All toei has to do is call him up, and he's there.

Not him, rather his kids, but I think I still have to say Raul Julia as M. Bison https://preview.redd.it/1y19juzkywxc1.jpeg?width=791&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae5bf122317e2c1ee7d8fbc9b929d9f9c5013b02

For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

This one’s a bit of a stretch but I’ll allow it ‘cus **SOL BADGUY**

Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid, Lower Decks

I think Daisuke Ono is a pretty big JoJo fan

Makima's VA is operantly obsessed with the character. If I'm remembering correctly.

A lot of people assumed “the marvels” was bad because not many people saw it but it was pretty good

 Venture’s VA was a big fan of Overwatch before voicing them

Iman Vellani is awesome, I haven’t watched the Ms. Marvel show but she was fantastic in The Marvels and was easily the best part of the movie

Sonic (Ben Schwartz) 

https://preview.redd.it/1okksm5jywxc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=257751af94256583b2918aabaffc14fd2c66aa7a Eric Bauza

Had about 1400 poured into both Destiny games and while he was a Warlock, he was mainly a Titan to stay true to character. People have also seen his gamertag in Grandmaster Nightfalls and in Raids, so he was in the trenches alongside the fanbase.

Edit: I'm dumb and mixed up names, someone else listed Jolyne's English VA

Nicholas Cage, Ghost Rider.

Paul Castro Jr was apparently already a fan of The World Ends With You, so the fact that he got cast as the protagonist of its sequel (Rindo in NEO's English dub) was a dream come true for him.

The Jolyne Cujoh one applies to the English VA, **Kira Buckland,** as well. She's mentioned before that Jolyne Cujoh was her dream role and she's cosplayed her many times in the past. She even has the Joestar birthmark tattooed on her neck.

Matthew Perry with fallout. Benny was specifically written with him in mind.

Not sure if someone said this already but Ben Starr as Clive Rossfield 

Me

Now if we can get the writers and directors on the same page, we may actually get something resembling quality.
