Danny Wallace was on Patrick Kielty's show on Radio 2 this afternoon, and I was surprised how much he sounds like Stephen Mangan.
Are there any actors you think sound alike ?

    There's a couple of actors who sound like others but what I don't like is that people say they are doing impressions of the other to make them famous.

    It's pretty reasonable to think that with all the actors around a few are going to sound similar to others.


    Ricky Gervais - Tom Bennett

    Griff Rhys Jones - Andy Parsons

    Alan Rickman and Benedict Cumberbatch

    Jo Brand and John Sargent (sounds odd, but listen to their voices sometime, they even look a little bit alike :D )

    Peter Dixon?

    After Partick Allen died in 2006 Dixon replaced him as the voice of E4 presumably because of the similarity between their voices

    James Corden and Russell Tovey! I remember watching the entire Gruffalo thinking it was RT doing the voiceover, and I was amazed when I discovered it was James.

    Also, Michael Gambon and the actor who plays Thursday in Endeavour.

    There's a guy who does advert voiceovers that sounds very much like Max Beesley but pretty sure it's not him.

    That x factor bloke has the most annoying voice, he is way over the top.
    He thinks the more he exaggerates his voice the better he sounds, awful, that's how he sounds. >:(

    Max Beesley does loads of advert voiceovers so it most likely is him.

    There are ads on the radio for Halfords and the guy sounds like Jesse Ventura (wrestler turned politician) but I'm not sure if it's him.
