Kevin Michael Richardson

If you’re not a fan of voice actors, you may not know who this is. Although, this writer can almost guarantee that you’ve heard his voice before. He was Goro in the original Mortal Kombat movie, The Joker in The Batman, Captain Gantu in Lilo and Stitch, and multiple characters in Family Guy, The Simpsons, and American Dad.

If you take a quick glance at his IMDB page, you’ll see that he has over 500 different credits to his name. You’ll no doubt find yourself saying, “that was him in that show?”

Yep, an actor with this kind of skill would nail this role, bringing Mephisto to life with ease.

Cree Summer

Another voice actor who you may not know by name, however, Cree Summer has been all over the place. She’s done video games (Star Wars: The Old Republic – Onslaught and Destiny 2: Forsaken) and multiple cartoon characters like Numbuh 5, Catwoman, and Vixen. She isn’t someone that jumps at you when you think of Mephisto, but she could easily get the job done.

You don’t have over 20 years of voice acting without being able to be more than a few different voices. Cree Summer has a more lighthearted tone to her voices. That said, imagine someone with that voice being evil? It can lure people to a false sense of security. Making it seem even more devious when she strikes.

Summer could be a delight in the role.
