    As most of us know, Shinchiro Watanabee uses roughly the same cast of voice actors, name a voice actor and there roles in his works and tell everyone which part you think they did the best in. The idea of this is to get some flow of discussion in this forum and maybe try and figure out where Watanabee will go next.

    I am not sure what exactly you mean?? are you speaking of the english cast or the japanese cast?

    also you should name off a few of the anime that use's the same cast.. That way those who don't know which anime's had the same cast will be able to say.. Oh ok now I can compare..

    Interesting thread by the way..

    Right you are. Steven Jay Blum, who is also Zabuza in Naruto dub. He was also a voice in Macross Plus

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0089710/

    The voice actor for Jet Black, Beau Billingslea has played Matsuonosuke Shibui in Samurai Champloo, who also did a voice for Macross Plus

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0082507/

    Meliss Charles, the voice actor for Ed, seems to have no other links, though did work with GunGrave, Castlevania and others, like the other VAs

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0153100/

    Vicious, played by George C. Cole, did minor voice acting in Samurai Champloo as well as voice acting for Macross Plus

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0170555/

    And Wendee Lee, the actress for Faye Valentine, played "Hotaru" in Samurai Champloo, and was also in Macross Plus.

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0283253/

    Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (<3 her work in Silent Hill :)) was the voice for Julia in Cowboy Bebop, but as it seems, had no role in Samurai Champloo or Macross Plus (but still did work with others in such examples as GunGrave, Phantom Brave, Samurai Warriors, Castlevania and more).

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0569479/

    Of course, you can note that all five tend to work with eachother (sort of) a lot (GunGrave, Samurai Warriors, Real Bout High School, Digimon, Castlevania, and so on).

    Here is Shinichiro Watanabe's filmography list (which is, pretty much, The Animatrix, Macross Plus, Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop (including the movie)).

    Now for Japanese cast, just incase.

    Koichi Yamadera, the voice actor for Spike Spiegel, has not appeared in any of Watanabe's other works

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0945290/

    Unsho Ishizuka was the VA for Jet Black, and appeared in Macross Plus as well

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0411167/

    Megumi Hayashibara, who voiced Faye Valentine, also appeared in Macross plus

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0370677/

    The voice of Ed was done by Aoi Tada, and that seems to have been her only role aside from one in Digimon.

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0846248/

    Vicious was voiced by Norio Wakamoto, who has not appeared in any of Watanabe's other works.

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0906696/

    And Julia, done by Gara Takashima, has also not appeared in any of Watanabe's other works.

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0847388/

    (Sorry for the laziness of not linking any other works the actaors might have done together)
