I think King Cold's old dub voice could work if they cranked it down from 40 to about 5.

IMO Ayres should do King Cold and use his third Freeza form voice.
Simian upstart...none surpass me. No one even comes close! BURN THIS INTO YOUR MIND! I am emperor of the universe. The likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet. Or better still...to be crushed...LIKE AN INSECT AT THE WHIM OF YOUR MASTER!

- Freeza, DBZ Kai.

They could get Chris Rager to do it. I think I'd like to hear his. After all, Daisuke Gouri voiced Cold in Z.

Of course, that's a lot like saying John Swasey should play him because he played Crocodile in One Piece just like the Japanese VA for Cold in Kai. You can't really make somebody the official voice equivalent of a Japanese VA. This is why Wendee Lee was a good Haruhi but an awful Konata.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Eh, I don't entirely like John Swasey's Crocodile. He's too mafia gangster, as opposed to the class Ôtomo brought Sir Crocodile. Not to mention that booming voice.

I don't think Rager would be a good fit, either. He doesn't really do 'deep' well enough, I think.

I think Bob Carter can do deep pretty well, though. I haven't heard enough of him doing that, though...

As someone who rarely watches dubs, I thought Lee's Konata was fine.

Besides, it was kind of necessary for the infamous "cafe scene" in order for it to sound natural.

My bet's on Bryan Massey, but we'll see.

Definately. I also liked her Konata. I'll also grant I pretty much only watched it dubbed due to my being lazy and being a big fan of her and Michelle Ruff.

Mabey the Guy who did the voice for Dr Wheelo could pull of King Cold or Just somebody who can pull of a good Andross-esc voice.
