¡Bender!

July 9, 2007 8:34 PM

While browsing Wikipedia, I stumbled across this comprehensive database matching European Spanish voice actors to the English-language roles they've dubbed. As an occasional rainy-afternoon surfer of language tracks I have to ask - are there more voice-actor resources like this out there?

A cursory search turns up a few human-interest articles and a lot of variations on 'voice actors' identities are not widely publicized'. I'm specifically looking for English-to-French and English-to-Latin-American-Spanish dubbing info (the languages I can limp along in, and that generally appear on Region I DVDs), but other languages and general resources would also be appreciated. Sites don't necessarily have to be in English, if they're intuitive enough.
Who voiced that magnificently insouciant French bending unit, anyway?

I always found it funny watching many of these dubbed shows on Spanish Tv. They must have a strong union or something because there are only a few dozen voice actors who do all the movies and tv shows. So the voice of Homer Simpson can be the voice of Rambo.

Not part of the question, but just as a bonus sample of why I enjoy this stuff... Note for instance Eldoblaje's entry for Abraham Aguilar - the European Spanish voice of Bender, Mr. Garrison, Radar O'Reilly, Sayid, Krusty the Clown, Petri the Pterodactyl, Lt. Malcom Reed, Stitch, and Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.
