Excellent listing of performers, my good friend. These are some of my favorites too.

Those guys are good but not as good as the ones listed here.
Alan Tudyk should be on the list, he is sorely underrated
5526806
Agreed.
He’s another one of my favorite voice actors.
Fun fact about Tim Curry, really:
As a person who hopes to take a career in voice acting, I’ve been interested in doing a voice impression of Curry. I’ve listened to many of his songs in the past, which not only remind me of what he sounds like but have helped get the feel of how he portrays his characters.
Other people I’ve been interested in doing impressions of include Robin Williams, Tony Jay, Vincent Price, Hans Conried, and Mako Iwamatsu.

Good for you. 🙂
I'm glad that David Kaye is an honorable mention. It's seems that no one can resist the sweet succulent tones of his voice.
I said this before and I'll say it again.
Tim Curry would've been the perfect voice actor for King Sombra. Why? Because the character in question is basically a combination of Curry's three most iconic roles:
* Hexxus in Ferngully
* Pennywise in Stephen King's It
* Darkness in Legend
Out of curiosity...did you know that David Kaye has been filling in for Miguel Ferrer in a couple of voice roles after the latter’s death?

Which series or movies are you referring to? Beast Wars?
5529367
Kaye filled in for Ferrer as Vandal Savage in Season 3 of “Young Justice”, as well as the Stretch Monster in “Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters”.
5529374
Oh. Well, I haven't watched those shows yet.
5529375
Neither have I. Although I’ve always wanted to see a voice comparison video between Ferrer and Kaye in each of those roles. I can’t understand why nobody made one yet.
When do you plan on listing what your favorite non-voice actors are?

*sigh*
It’s the anxiety again, isn’t it?
5534446
Yep.
5534447
You need some rest, man. Calm down and relax. It helps.
5534451
Good idea.
To change the subject, have you ever watched “Samurai Jack”?
5534452
Yes, I have.
5534453
I was just wondering. I’m a big fan of the show.
