I used to giggle at the use of some of the voices from the english dub of Shenmue II being used on the tv show Iron Chef, but its getting more and more common and becoming more disturbing. Not just in the Iron Chef but in many animations and games, I guess its the nature of the beast to re-use stablished voices but even everyday celebs are lending their voices to more shows and games lately. It really throws me when I unintentionally begin matching where I've heard 'that voice' before. Imagine if you had to sit through Jim Carey in every single movie.
