What is your favorite Leonardo voice actor of all time?
 
Now that the Nick series is well established, I'm going to make a series of polls regarding your favorite voice actor by character. The problem with behindthevoiceactors.com is that after the Nick cast was added, it did not reset the polls fresh. That said, these polls will be open for only up to a month.

We'll naturally start with Leonardo, the leader of the group. Along with Michelangelo, he has been consistent in terms of having just one voice actor per incarnation, meaning that there are just five voice actors to choose from.

(Oops, I forgot Michael Doboson of TNM, Jason Griffith of Mirage Leo of Turtles Forever, and Dan Green of 1987 Turtles forever.) However, I'll leave it out for this poll since I know they aren't going to receive many votes.

I may like Jason Biggs' rendition of Leonardo, but for some reason, James Arnold Taylor's was way cooler.:tcool:

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan, now THIS is a question I have a hard time answering. I don't even think I can. I can narrow it down to Cam & Brian, though.

My favorite is Cam Clarke, he's the first Leonardo I saw speak, Michael Siinterklaas is my second favorite, he sounds a lot like Cam Clarke's.

Every Leo voice was loosely based on Cam Clarke's voice. Seems like he had the definitive Leonardo voice and all others sound similar.

Althought I guess you can say that for all of the OT.

Dan Green's Leonardo sounded different though in Turtles Forever.

^This....leaning toward Brian.

I'd say a tie between Jason and Mike S. as my absolute favorites with Cam Clarke getting an honorable mention.

plasticturtle 12-27-2012 05:23 PM

Cam Clarke with Brian Tochi a close second. Those are pretty much the incarnations of the character I grew up with.

ToTheNines 12-27-2012 05:59 PM

Brian effing Tochi. Easy vote for me.

chrisdude 12-27-2012 06:00 PM

This is a very difficult decision for me. Mainly because no Leonardo voice actor has left any kind impression on me.

So I'm gonna go Tochi, based entirely on this scream at 3:15.


It's all that came to mind.

I always thought the 2007 TMNT Leo sounded too much like Neil Patrick Harris.

David Spade.

CyberCubed 12-27-2012 07:24 PM

Actually the 2007 Leo and Nick's Leo sound very much alike. Almost as if the Leo in Movie 4 is an adult version of the Leo seen in the Nick show.

To be honest though, most TMNT VA's sound similar. Look at all the Movie Raph voices and 2k3 Raph for example. All the Michelangelo's are all loosely based on OT Mike's voice too.

I very much doubt every incarnation of Michelangelo would have that same dialect if it weren't for what the OT made famous.

Although I do think Barry Gordon's Don is the most unique, and arguably the best Don voice.

zkarlette 12-29-2012 02:05 AM

Cam Clarke for sure.:D

SparkyMarky644 12-29-2012 07:49 AM

Cam Clarke for sure, he's the actor who I will always think of, for the voice of Leonardo.

RiseAbove873 12-29-2012 04:11 PM

Either Cam Clarke from the first season, before his voice became too high, or James Arnold Taylor. I think they both nailed it. However, I must say, they all did a great job.

TurtleTitan97 12-29-2012 04:22 PM

Michael Sinterklaas for me.

Jephael 12-29-2012 04:24 PM

I had to go with Mike S. from the 4Kids era. Something about his voice just stuck with me, and quite frankly that's my favorite incarnation of the character.

Cipher 12-29-2012 05:03 PM

Brian, I think, gave us the best range and the most relatable version.

Cam Clarke never had great material to work with, though. He never quite got the characterization the other Fred-Wolf Turtles did.
