Who could voice Grogar in Friendship is Magic? · 10:20pm Sep 18th, 2017
For those not in the know, he was basically a goat necromancer and, like Tirek, is one of the most popular G1 MLP villains. In that show, he was voiced by 80s voice actor Michael Bell:
And given his name being mentioned in a storybook in A Flurry of Emotions, like many fans, I'm hoping we'll see him at some point in a future season. I mean, they brought back Tirek, so why not?
And much like Tirek, to separate him from his original incarnation, they rewrote his character and hired a new voice actor (Mark Acheson) to voice him. And that got me thinking:
Who would I choose to voice Grogar in Friendship is Magic?
For me personally, it comes down to three choices:
Keith David
Without a doubt one of the most chilling voices I've ever heard. It practically screams "threatening, make-you-shit-your-pants badass you don't wanna mess with".
Tony Todd (skip to 1:05)
I don't care if Transformers 2 sucked, this guy was fan-freaking-tastic. Whenever I think of the words "ancient evil", this is the kinda imposing, sinister and gravelly voice I'd expect to come out of it.
Clancy Brown
Powerful. Diabolical. Charming. Malevolent. Smooth. Sophisticated. Intimidating without having to raise his voice too much. Eeyup.
What do you think?
Frank Welker!
