Question Why are SOME American voice actors so alias happy. There have been sooo many times when I've been watching an anime and thought that a character's voice sounded like so-and-so's on such-and-such, then on the credits, the names are different. When investigated, the person IS the same. For example, I think that Sparky Thornton uses about 10-12 different names. Is there really that big a need to have aliases in the American anime industry??

There was a Hey Answerman! column that answered this question a few weeks ago. Read this to see the answer; it's the third one from the top.
