TIL the guy who voiced Vegeta in English also did the voice for a bunch of my favorite 90s cartoon villains
So I was poking around on a voice actor wiki last week after my buddy and I got into a argument about who had the best scream in anime, and I went down this huge rabbit hole. I pulled up Christopher Sabat's page just to settle the Vegeta versus Piccolo thing for myself, and I kept scrolling and seeing all these other shows he was in. Turns out he was in like 200 plus roles, which blew my mind because I always just knew him as the angry Saiyan prince. But then I saw he did a bunch of random side characters in stuff I watched as a kid on Saturday mornings, and it kind of broke my brain a little. I actually went back and rewatched one episode of Dragon Ball Z on my phone during lunch at work and once I knew it was the same guy doing Yamcha and Piccolo and Vegeta in the same scene, I couldn't unhear it. Now I catch myself trying to pick out his voice in everything and my wife thinks I've lost it. Has anyone else gone down a voice actor rabbit hole like this and ruined a show for themselves, and which one was it for you?

My wife already thinks I'm nuts so at least you're in good company.

Plenty of us are in that boat, sure, but maybe the wife has a point. Look at what we actually do: check the tank temp three times before bed, argue about filter flow rates like it's politics, and drop real money on a fish that might not make it through the week. That sounds a little off to anyone watching from the couch. Normal people don't test their tap water for fun on a Saturday morning.
