Its a harsh contrast to his act as Solomon Reed bc he played a very stoic and calm yet assertive role in 2077 so when I saw the movie with my girlfriend at the time she didn’t know why I freaked out hearing knuckles lmao
“Life isn’t some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid little dreams come true!.. so let. It. Go.” I always fucking loved this joke, especially how he delivered it.
Man, this guy from those Pixar movies has solid anti-hero protagonist voice, I wish I could see him doing long-form crime dramas on either HBO or the BBC
As someone who grew up with Sonic games, I wasn't sold when I first heard his Knuckles voice. However, watching the movie and seeing his portrayal, it made a lot of sense the way he voiced this version of the red echidna. He is a warrior from another world, it makes sense for him to have an accent unlike any found on earth.
He’s like the modern Kevin Michael Richardson. An iconic voice that could be any character. RIP KMR. You were great. Edit: I messed up the names. The man I meant to say was Clark Michael Duncan. My bad.
@@lindlekindle I got his name mixed up with Clark Michael Duncan. But in my defense, they are very similar names. They even both have Michael as their middle names.
Let me know which voice actor you’d like to see next!
Plz! Alan Cumming??
Jim Cummings?
maya rudolph
Ashley Burch, Skye Bennett, Dan Castellaneta, Carolina Ravassa, Cissy Jones, and Jen Taylor
Kevin Mcdonald
Most angelic voice I’ve ever heard tbh.
Yeah so aggressive 😉
Yes yes yes
Only second to Morgan Freeman
@@saldzbob9972Keith David beats both
Keith David is better but this man is second.
I love how he can sound gruff, wise, or... Knuckles.
Knuckles is his own category tbh.
@@twelved4983 See, you get it.
@@twelved4983 fr
Knuckles is both of those at once, plus a bit of naivety.
Knuckles is just an entity lmao
I love the way he says "Oh, they are stairs."
I cracked up over it when I saw the movie in theaters.
Fave part of the entire movie!!
agreed
He’s even better in live action. I mean his role as Luther is incredible. Bloodsport is amazing as well.
Don't forget Hobbs and Shaw
Isn't he in Pacific Rim too?
@just_a_tired_they_.2437 Yes, he is, and he is fantastic
Charles Miner from The Office ✔️
Knuckles = 😎
HE VOICE THE FOX?!?! AHDHDJJFBEJNDJSNBDJDJDN
Ahkhfkshdjdushjxjd!
What film is that?
@@goldvoltage9053 the boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse I think.
@@goldvoltage9053not trying to be a dick but can you read?
I KNOW
I did NOT expect Giancarlo as that wolf
Same
I remember watching this movie and I never saw the resemblance until now😅
I recognize that wolf voice (its name is Akela) but man he’s everywhere
Me neither lmao. Half expected him to ban Idris Elba from the laundromat.
@@kasagrim7215 it's gus
he also plays heimdall in live action
The video is about voice acting
@@MarvelsScreamSimp and?
@@MarvelsScreamSimpyea ik but i just wanted to point out
And Bloodsport
HE DOES?
I loved the way he voiced Knuckles.
Me too.
It's this weird combination of cockney, lisp and Shakespearean. And Knuckles takes this voice, and gives it both peak gravitas, and peak himbo energy.
Its a harsh contrast to his act as Solomon Reed bc he played a very stoic and calm yet assertive role in 2077 so when I saw the movie with my girlfriend at the time she didn’t know why I freaked out hearing knuckles lmao
me too!❤
Dot...Dot....Dot...😂 That part got me the most
The sexiest voice in all of Hollywood!
And Britain too.
FR
Nah, Id say that goes to Tony Todd
@@mmx3374 nah that goes to tim curry
Totally
“Yes I am aware of the effect I have on women”
Guest appearance by Giancarlo Esposito!
Their voices pair very nicely
Arguably one of Idris’s most iconic role…
the fox
Stringer Bell
& knuckles
Solomon Reed is such a cool character!
solomon reed was awesome
Emphasis on was
He’s really good at an intimidating voice
He's in every cinematic universe
And we love him in *every* universe.❤
“Life isn’t some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid little dreams come true!.. so let. It. Go.”
I always fucking loved this joke, especially how he delivered it.
That’s cool that he voice the fox
Ngl but he as chief Boggo was just perfect. Especially saying „Life isn’t some cartoon where you sing a stupid song“
He was also using his natural voice as Chief Bogo. It is why you can hear the British accent
@@ShadowMoon878 lovely
He did every voice act smoothly...
✨RESPECT🗿
I was like, “how come I just heard this guys voice” right after finishing phantom liberty
His voice is so versatile it can be intimidating or calming depending on what the role calls for. Great actor 👍
His voice is so iconic! It’s like silk for your ears!
Idris' voice for Knuckles reminds me of Dan Green's voice but more foreign. Either way, I LOVE Elba's take on the Echidna.
Idris Elba's voice for Knuckles is just *so* good.😫
I love the variety of voices he does in animation. He's so good
He's also a radio DJ in Cyberpunk lol
not only that he’s a dj irl
His voice is amazing ngl
You mean sexy.
Him, Keith David and Tony Todd are the GODS of voice actors
Zootopia will always be amazing
0:31 Is no going to talk about how deep that bass is 😳.
Woah when i saw his face, my mind thinks of Bogo and that one villian from F&F Hobbs and Shaw.
Man, this guy from those Pixar movies has solid anti-hero protagonist voice, I wish I could see him doing long-form crime dramas on either HBO or the BBC
Even his voice is deadly!
He was BREATHTAKING in the jungle book! 10/10!!!!!!
Bro voiced all these characters.
& Knuckles.
Most intimidating/nicest voice ever
Fantastic range. I didnt realise hed done so much va and been in so much stuff!
GASP! I remember watching that last film with my family one night. It was greatly animated!❤
I love this series
As someone who grew up with Sonic games, I wasn't sold when I first heard his Knuckles voice. However, watching the movie and seeing his portrayal, it made a lot of sense the way he voiced this version of the red echidna. He is a warrior from another world, it makes sense for him to have an accent unlike any found on earth.
i love his accent
I have the immense pleasure of sharing a birthday with such a goat
Knuckles, Fluke, The Fox, Shere Khan and Chief Bogo?!? Absolute king
Will always be one of my all time favourite actors
Voice always smooth like butter 💯🔥
Oh! They are stairs! SO CUTE
He’s like the modern Kevin Michael Richardson. An iconic voice that could be any character.
RIP KMR. You were great.
Edit: I messed up the names. The man I meant to say was Clark Michael Duncan. My bad.
Uhh, Kevin Michael Richardson is still alive
@@lindlekindle I got his name mixed up with Clark Michael Duncan. But in my defense, they are very similar names. They even both have Michael as their middle names.
@@cobaltprime9467 fair enough
I do know him best for Zootopia. Now I think I should give the jungle book a try as well as The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
Bro his knuckles performance was nothing but a perfection absolutely perfect
Everywhere I look he STILL sounds like Knuckles 😂
That britanic accent just make his voice acting unique!
The Chief Bogo one is pretty funny because of what happens in one of the episodes in Zootopia+😂
This man got the voice that could go well like Tony Todd in a horror movie
"You think they OXD what i wanted-" is downright devious
Even when hes angry, his voice sounds gental
Idris elba played knuckles to perfection he even practiced before sets
I don't love celebrity voice actors but I gotta hand it to the man, he's a great one
Oh they are stairs-
Wait is Giancarlo Esposito the wolf?
The What If..? one was so good, I’m convinced he really played Heimdall 😮
I dunno what it is about him as Shere Khan, but he was BORN for that role!
His shere khan is godly
Fun Fact: He is also the VA of "Truck" in Cod Modern Warfare 3.
You would have never expected him to be a really good dj
I didn’t know Moff Gideon was in this
I like how gian carlos voiced the wolf and still sounds like gus fring😂
Other Disney characters looking at chief bogo like "excuse me?"
Guancarlos and Elba being a wolf and a tiger is awesome
The fox is really good u can’t even tell that was him shit was pretty fuckin good
I love when they animate his eye expressions into the character
The next thing Chief Bogo says to Judy after that line is “So, let it go” which I admit got a chuckle out of me.
HE VOICE THE FOX???
I love this actor! Especially for the fact that he always speaks with his voice and every role suits him!
That wolf from The Jungle Book sounds like he's about to serve me some authentic fried chicken.
I love his voice so damn much, and his acting in suicide squad is just *mwah* cherry on top
This man's voice. Just an amazing voice in any role he is in.
I love that Chief Bogo literally calls out EVERY ANIMATED DISNEY MOVIE in ONE LINE. Makes me laugh every time.
Dudes litterally the ‘Hunter/Beefy’ voice
"But if you stay in that snare, you'll die"
He killed it in cyberpunk, great actor
Pov every Disney movie: it's not like you sing a song and your dreams come true
“I WILL SHATTER THEM LIKE THE BONES OF A FALLEN- o, they are stairs.”
The fox was him?!? He was fucking amazing as the fox
I can see knux getting into a shouting match with chief buffalo butt aka bogo
He doesn’t just voice Heimdall, He plays him
He did a great job on them all
Fluke is most likely the only time we ever here this man being silly
Gustavo as the wolf is amazing
Let’s not forget that he also voiced the cop who tased Carl in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
don’t forget the non animated!
“haven’t you heard mr.beckett? the worlds coming to a end… so where would you rather die? HERE OR IN A YEAGER!”
The last two caught me by surprise
How this is the same guy that plays Pentecost in Pacific Rim amazes me
This mans voice is god-like
I never knew he voiced these characters but this is the exact voice I though he would have
he was perfect in cyberpunk
"...So let it go!" That was my favorite scene in zootopia. Well one of them anyway
Knuckles being voiced by this dude makes me think the casting crew did a good job
‘I WILL SHATTER THEM LIKE THE BONES FROM A FOERIE-
Oh, they are stairs’ -Knuckles 2022
Have you done Keith David yet? He's bloody everywhere 😂
The biggest lie he told was saying he wouldn't make Knuckles sound sexy.
