Mickey Mouse is the one I think I've seen most often. He's played a lot of other characters, like Tiny Tim in "Mickey's Christmas Carol", or as Yen Sid's apprentice in "Fantasia".
Licensing issues limit animated characters being used as general actors/celebrities in other shows portraying other characters. Animated characters make cameo appearances more often.
I agree it can be a little distracting to recognize a voice actor just like it can be distracting to recognize an actor in another work, but in either case what matters most is the performance.
- autoexec 4y agoI can't edit this, but I misremembered! Mickey was Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim was Mortimer Mouse.
