Cave Johnson

I know it's /v/, but this

Of the choices presented, I've only heard him as Cave Johnson and Lenny Turtletaub. While his performance as Turtletaub was good, I just have to give it to Cave. Cave in his prime (and Cave-Prime from the Perpetual Testing Initiative) just has that sort of manic energy that works really well with Simmons (like his performance as J. Jonah Jameson in Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy), and Cave post-moon-rock-poisoning actually makes me feel sorry for the dying, dangerous lunatic (particularly during his famous lemon rant).
I really have to get around to watching Gravity Falls. Apparently, I'm really missing out on a good show, and I have no excuse to not watch it now that it's all over.
Cave Johnson and JJJ are his best roles. He's great in everything, but those two really stand out.
So for voice, Cave Johnson.
>>82387049
JJJ followed by Tenzin then Kai.
For an actual live action actor, his voice sure gets around. And we're all better for it.
I heard him recently in an episode of Archer. I'm surprised he hasn't been in Rick and Morty yet.

Whiplash was his best role, though.
Apparently he's the yellow M&M
JK Simmons is admirable for his diversity.
JJJ and Cave Johnson are similar for that over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek insanity. Same for the president in Red Alert 3.
But Fletcher in Whiplash was powerful, a very severe, yet emotionally subtle role that was very different from his normal stuff.
I really liked him as Tenzin, it was probably the furthest away from his comfort zone in terms of voice acting, very calm and collected with a fire underneath. It helped that, despite Korra's flaws, I think Tenzin as a character was backed up by some great writing.

Cave Johnson is what introduced him to me, and it's still the standard by which I judge his other roles.Why didn't we get to hear him forcing Caroline to have her brain removed
>>82388049
I was just coming here to post this.
I just started watching Oz, and now I can't not think about rapist nazi prisoners when hearing his voice.
I really hope this character gets brought back solely because J.K. Simmons felt incredibly underutilized.

Cave is Simmons at his Simmons-iest, second only to JJJ.

They said it sounded too much like rape and made people uncomfortable
>>82389030
Wtf? No. Cave was the one going into GLaDOS. Then he died so Caroline stood up to take command. I have no clue where you came up with that rape shit.
I like Ford the best, but thats because I like his character the best. I think his performance as Kai was the best out of those.
Definitely Cave.

I dont think she "stood up" to take the place of Cave
>>82387049
I didn't even know he was Cave Johnson. Damn.
>>82388707
There's a special treat for him at the end of season 1
>>82388970
lol at that Half Life reference at 16mins
I really enjoyed Portal and Portal 2 but I've never even heard of this Perpetual Testing Initiative. I fucking suck
>>82387049
I'm pretty sure Cave Johnson and Mayor Lionheart are the same character.
>>82389030
The SJW menace strikes again.
Cave Johnson. I cant believe they removed that scene with him and Caroline.
>>82387049
It felt like a waste of him in all but Cave. Why have him if you're not going let him add lib and ramble off.
>>82388970
Fuck me, I never made that connection that Simons was Cave's VA.
Christ, Portal 2 was great.
