10 Famous Actors You Didn't Know Did Anime Dubs

When anime fans find themselves slacking on their Japanese, they find themselves flocking to dubbed projects. It may have been nearly impossible to get your hands on a dubbed anime back in the late-1990s but those days are long gone. Over the years, companies like Funimation, Aniplex, and even Disney have helped roll out English dubs for audiences who can't swing subs.

And, if you have listened to some of those dubs very closely, you have surely heard the voices of a few all-star actors.

For those of you who thought anime was a niche market, then you need to think again. Voice work has become an ever-growing part of Hollywood, and anime imports have seen a steady rise in celebrity talent since Studio Ghibli emerged on the scene. Hayao Miyazaki's heralded films helped bring clout to the medium abroad, and that foreign reception pushed talent like Christian Bale and Betty White to give anime a go.
