Random Voice Actors Who Look Exactly Like Their Characters (20 items)

(#11) Bobby Driscoll And Peter Pan ('Peter Pan')

Not only did Disney animators use Driscoll as the inspiration for Peter's look, but Driscoll and some of his fellow voice actors also shot a live-action "reference" film to help animators bring the classic to life.
(#7) Ed Asner And Carl Fredricksen ('Up')

While there's a definite resemblance between Asner and his Up counterpart, the character was actually based on Spencer Tracy and Walter Matthau.
(#2) Kevin Michael Richardson And Principal Lewis ('American Dad!')

Principal Lewis is basically just an American Dad!-ified Richardson, with the same bald head and beard.

Richardson's other voice credits include far more diverse looking characters, including Shredder in the 2012 reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
(#1) Jessica Walter And Malory Archer ('Archer')

Jessica Walter looks so much like her Archer character Malory Archer that she had to be the inspiration, right? Not exactly.

The producers actually used the appearance of Kathleen Cohen, a local Atlanta actress, as inspiration.
(#18) Rowan Atkinson And Zazu ('The Lion King')

Zazu's supervising animator, Ellen Woodbury - the second woman in Disney history to hold that title - said Atkinson's voice was "incredibly rich" and "listening to his readings gave me so much to work with."

She also said Atkinson's series Blackadder "was a particularly rich source" for helping to get his "malleable" characteristics onto a hornbill.
(#12) Steve Buscemi And Wesley ('Home on the Range')

Disney essentially made a Steve Buscemi caricature when they designed Wesley, the villainous cattle broker in the largely forgotten Home on the Range.

The resemblance is even more striking when Buscemi's in his full Boardwalk Empire best.
