    John Malkovich - sounds like a dirty old letcher - but so lovely at the same time.
    Also loved Ronnie Drews speaking voice as well as his singing voice.

    Jeff Buckley R.I.P. - Love his singing voice, but his speaking voice always struck me as being very delicate. There's something very soft and gentle in it. Normally I love deep, rich voices but I love the soft strength in his. I dunno :confused:

    Johnny Cash R.I.P. - Great voice too.

    Now for me, the best voice is, without a doubt, Michael Scofield.

    He used his voice to calm down his sexy doctor friend when he grabbed her up into the roof of the prison because the prison was having a riot.

    Also;

    James Spader
    Martin Sheen

    Mentioned before but Peter O'Toole. Damn he's one hell of an actor and yet passed for an oscar, save for an honorary one?

    Black and Celtic lads seem to have a goodly proportion of the votes on this kinda thing. Raise an African lad in Dublin, Cardiff or Edinburgh, or bring up a paddy, scot or taffy in Mombasa and you're on a winner. The next great voice is probably a second generation Nigerian bloke called Brian living in Galway as we speak :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    +1 for Morgan Freeman, Kiefer Sutherland, Patrick Stewart, James Earl Jones. The usual contenders! Someone also mentioned Phil Harris, great voice.

    I also love Clive Owen's voice, especially in Inside Man. And to represent the ladies Gillian Anderson's voice always gave me the girly tinglies.

    It's not as annoying as the use of 'ruddy'.

    There's a guy who reads the news on Radio 1 on weekend mornings - Michael Murphy - he has the ultimate 'old-school newsreader' voice. Serious and authoritative, yet totally reassuring, no matter how catastrophic the news.

    Forgot Gerry Ryan actually (RIP), never listened to his show much but always thought he had a great voice for the radio.

    He had a face for radio too.

    Great thread!

    One of my favourite Irish voices would have to be Jim O'Neill - Today FM

    I havent bother to look through all of the comments so someone will correct me if he has already been mentioned but I think Patrick Warburton has the best voice ever!

    There used to be a guy who called out the English football results on the radio. I can’t remember if he was on BBC radio or another station, and it’s years since I heard him so I don’t know if he’s around anymore.

    The best thing about him is the inflection in his voice would change depending on who won. The losing team would be announced in a somber tone, the victor in a more jovial tenor:

    Aston Villa, nil; Newcastle United,six!

    Better than MOTD, so 'twas.

    The actor that narrates the movie Stand by Me. Can see his face in my head but can't think of his name. He's actually in the last few minutes of the movie as a grown up version of one of the characters. Damn!

    What about Homer Simpson??:D
