Really liking how the Michelangelos get along well due to Fred Wolf Michelangelo, makes me smile.  Then again, I do kinda feel Townsend is among the best Mikes over the franchise voice wise, tied with Robbie personally. |
It might be just rust though - you have old VAs like John de Lancie who can pull off very similar roles without a hitch (Q to Discord), and guys like Tim Curry and Tony Jay who just have / had such an presence that they can make people fangasm if
they ever are in a scene together. Mel Blanc and Frank Welker don't count, since they're pretty much VA gods. Compare
John's IMDB page to
Barry's, for example (the hypothesis is admittedly pulled out of thin air, but still). And the two were born on the same year (1948 ) even.
