Commercial Voiceovers
I'm usually pretty good at identifying actors voices in cartoons and what-not. I'm always surprised and sometimes amazed at some good and not-so-good choices for advertisements, especially considering there is virtually nowhere you can look this stuff up.
Well, first I knew John Schneider* (Pa Kent - Smallville) did the "you can do it, we can help" home depot commercials (nice choice), but now they have (weird choice) Clancy Brown (Kelvin Inman - Lost).
I also noticed Will Arnett (GOB - Arrested Development) used to do T. Rowe Price voiceovers.
Anybody else notice interesting choices for voiceover people?

Unless you are being sarcastic. It's just John Schneider.

Keifer Sutherland I think does Bank of America. At least it sounds like him.

Clancy Brown is in the pantheon of VO Gods.
Antonio Banderas is the bee in the Nasonex commercials. It's good, but I always thought it was weird because the Bee sounds just like his character "Puss in Boots" from Shrek.

Doesn't Arnett also do commercials for a car brand? I think that's why he was pulled off voicing Kitt in the new Knight Rider mini. Of course, I still don't remember what car company it is, and when I first heard about it, I was surprised, as I didn't recognize his voice at all...

A couple others:
Barry Pepper did the Nikon "Picturetown" commercials.
I think Jensen Ackles does the Army strong ads
