So, I got this idea after catching a friend watching an episode of The Blacklist, which featured Christopher Lambert in a recurring role. I was able to identify him immediately before even seeing him, just from a few spoken words. He often paces his speech in an unusual way and, coupled with his rather distinct tone, he's pretty easy to pick out when you hear him.
So, the question is basically, which actor/actress do you consider to have a unique voice, or is someone that you can always pick out, without even needing to see them?

So many.
Especially ones that do voice acting as well, like Patrick Warburton, Lori Petty, Dustin Hoffman, Keanu Reeves, Scarlett Johanson, etc. But it helps if you watch a lot of animated stuff, I think. It's starts getting easier to associate a voice with a face without seeing it.
Seriously no one's mentioned Christopher Walken yet??!?
In an interview Walken said he never intentionally pauses (at odd times) in his dialogue...it was just a natural progression of how he learned english as a child.
He grew up in a neighbourhood where English was a 2nd language so all the immigrants around him would constantly pause mid-sentence whilst they mentally searched for the correct word to use. Walken picked up on the nuance & never once considered it odd at all.
