The Big Bad

Recently, in my TMNT/Gargoyles blog, I tried to imagine who I'd cast for each series, using only voice actors that worked on the opposite cartoon. I ended up with stuff like Marc Thompson as Xanatos and Clancy Brown as Hun. It made me appreciate how much I generally like the casting and acting in the series--the voice actors working for 4Kids' may get a lot of flack for their work on the dubs, but they're a lot more talented than a lot of people give them credit for.
In any case, when it came to recasting TMNT (http://nymonsters.wordpress.com/2010/04/09/gargoyles-tmnt-casting-challenge-part-2/), I wasn't entirely succesful. I couldn't find actors who I thought could voice Splinter and Shredder--kind of funny, since Peter Reneday and James Avery both have bit parts in the show. If you couldn't use actors from any existing incarnation of the TMNT, who would any of you cast in the roles?
Speaking more generally, is there any role in the series (aside from the old toon characters in Turtles Forever, which most give to their original actors by default) which you would recast? If so, with whom?
