swanchika | Dubbing surprises

I'll admit it now for good and all, Winx Club is a guilty pleasure of mine, in the "I enjoy to point out all the ridiculous things inside" way. Or in a "I mock my 11-year-old sister for having a passing interest in it while never missing the last episode" way. Anyway, a bit of poking around in the Fire Emblem: Awakening voice cast led me to discover that Sam Riegel (who voiced Donnel and Stahl) provided Riven's voice for the Nickelodeon dub. I was definitely curious to see how he sounded as a jerk with a heart of gold, given that Stahl and Donnel are among the nicest guys in Ylisse, so I watched the 1-hour specials.

And I noticed something else ; of all things, Lord Darkar's voice sounded familiar. Kind of like... Doctor John's (from Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers)

Guess what. Michael Dorn voiced them both. It's a small world after all...

And I'm definitely watching that second special again
