Same voice, different characters?

What are some examples of voice actors using the same voice (or at least a similar voice) to play different characters. For example, one of the most notable ones is Frank Welker using the same voice for both Darkseid on Superfriends and Dr. Claw on Inspector Gadget. Any other examples that stand out?
 
I believe Grey Griffin used the same voice for both Kimiko and Azula, though that may be just me.
 
Tara Strong voiced Dil Pickles on Rugrats / All Grown Up! and Timmy Turner on The Fairly OddParents! along with some voice work on various videogames (Like Rachet and Clank Future: Tools of Disdruction).
Multi-Talented she is...
 
For this, Dexter's Dad on Dexter's Laboratory and one character on Mixels are both voiced by Jeff Bennett.
 
Off the top of my head, I have picked up on times where Kevin Michael Richardson used the same voice for various characters (Samurai Jack and Young Justice are the shows that I especially noticed this).
 
When Grey DeLisle Griffin voiced a teenage Wonder Woman in the DC Superhero Girls franchise (the 2015 series and the 2019 series), she used voices she's used before. She used a Daphne Blake voice for the for the former. For the latter, she used her Donna Troy voice from Super Best Friends Forever.
 
Tony Hale as Forky and Archibald.

In addition to voicing Batman, Kevin Conroy also voiced one third of the Alien X alter ego in the Ben 10 franchise.
 
A lot of characters voiced by Wendie Malick sound the same. Principal Folsom from Fillmore, Beautiful Gorgeous from Jimmy Neutron, Mrs. X from The X's, Ida the Owl Lady from The Owl House.
 
Wil Friedle's "Lion-O" from the recent Thundercats series sounds exactly like his "Terry McGinnis" from
Batman Beyond (not that its bad thing).
 
Tom Kenny used the same voice for both Spongebob and Carl from Johnny Bravo, I presume.
 
Billy West used his Stimpy voice for Larry in the Pinky and the Brain and Larry episode (of course, said voice was already based off of Larry Fine).
 
Maurice Lamarche uses the same kind of voice for both The Brain (on Animaniacs, Pinky and The Brain and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain) and Benedict Uno, a/k/a Father on Codename: Kids Next Door.
 
Going old school here.

Filmation's grand dame, Jane Webb, used the same voice for Betty (The Archie Show), Batgirl, and Erica Lane (Fantastic Voyage).
 
what about cree summer who voiced Elmyra Duff in Tiny toons and susie from Rugrats or Bahia Watson who voiced Leshawna in Total DramaRama and Bailey in Clifford the Big Red Dog or Denise Oliver who voiced Mauricia in Wayside and Mina from Grojband.
 
And I think Phil and Lil DeVille and Betty DeVille from Rugrats and Pocket from Trick Shot are both by the same actor Kath Soucie. Same goes for Kanga from Winnie the Pooh and Jetta from the Clifford the Big Red Dog 2000 animated series also by this actor.
 
Mel Blanc often reused voices, usually for incidental/one-off characters, but once in a while there would be a character sounding a lot like one of his more familiar roles. For example, Mel used his Marvin the Martian voice for quite a few incidental/one-off roles in "Looney Tunes" history, such as that one Native American at the end of "The Daffy Duckaroo" ("No fittum putt-putt!"), Clarence of "Birds Anonymous," Sam's robot ferret in "Lighter Than Hare," even Nero in "See Ya Later Gladiator" (ech)!
There's also the feminine voices he usually used when Bugs Bunny was dressed in drag. On the rare occasion Mel voiced a female character, or if another male was dressed like a woman, they'd all sound a lot like Bugs in drag. (Even in "Porky's Double Trouble" when the Killer Pig was disguised a Mae West caricature, he sounded a lot like Bugs Bunny doing a Mae West impression!)
I'm also reminded of how in the two "Bunny and Claude" cartoons, Mel Blanc used a variation of his Foghorn Leghorn voice for that redneck Sheriff that was always pursuing the rabbit gangsters, albeit without the Senator Claghorn vocal tics (like "I say, son, I say!")
And then as if all that weren't enough, in 1941's "The Trial of Mr. Wolf," Mel Blanc gave the titular wolf a Bronx-esque voice that's a dead-ringer for Bugs Bunny, though this could've also been because the cartoon was made before Bugs Bunny became a superstar.
 
And I think Phil and Lil DeVille and Betty DeVille from Rugrats and Pocket from Trick Shot are both by the same actor Kath Soucie. Same goes for Kanga from Winnie the Pooh and Jetta from the Clifford the Big Red Dog 2000 animated series also by this actor.
what about mrs winkin from curious george or sneezer and fife from tiny toons or emily newton from beethoven animated tv series or the mother of dexter's laboratory.
