James Arnold Taylor

James Arnold Taylor is a voice actor, and, while perhaps not the most famous, he does have a very good range. He also sometimes dubs the work of some rather more famous actors, should they not be available.

The bio on his website is as follows;

James Arnold Taylor’s versatile vocal range has given him success in every facet of the Voice-Over Industry. He’s had lead roles in animated films such as TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), The Animatrix, Hellboy: Blood & Iron and Atlantis: Milo’s Return. On TV James has guest starred on all the hits from What’s New Scooby-Doo?, The Powerpuff Girls, and Johnny Bravo to Kim Possible, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Avatar. He also stars as Johnny in Johnny Test, Axel in A.T.O.M., Wooldoor Sockbat in Drawn Together, and most notably Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Clone Wars. James keeps busy from his home studio with promo work for networks like Fox, The CW, Spike, G4, and Game Show Network. Some of James’ most celebrated work comes from Video Games: Tidus in the Final Fantasy X series, Ratchet in the Ratchet & Clank series, Gabe in the Syphon Filter series, and numerous voices in games like Shrek, Spiderman, X-Men, Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean to name a few. A unique aspect of James’ work is Voice-Doubling. When big time celebrities aren’t available to do their own voice, James seamlessly fills in: David Spade, Michael J. Fox, Billy Bob Thornton, Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, and the list goes on. James’ greatest honor is following in the footsteps of greats Alan Reed and Henry Corden by providing the voice of the cartoon icon Fred Flintstone.



Speaking of his website, it's awesome. Seriously, go take a look. The first page will display examples of voiceovers when you roll over the characters.
