* The ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' DLC character Gaige makes a return in the ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'' DLC "Guns, Love and Tentacles" as the wedding planner for Wainwright and Hammerlock, this time voiced solely by Creator/CheramiLeigh, who previously shared the role with Creator/LuciChristian in the second game. During the course of the plot, Gaige will do impressions of characters from the series, whereupon she uses a posh British accent for Hammerlock; an exaggerated Texan drawl for Wainwright (Cherami is a Texas native herself); a reserved, mature voice for Lillith; a playful, high-pitched voice for Tiny Tina; a cool, composed, punkish voice for Clay; and a deep, Russian accent for Markus. These, obviously, act as huge opportunities for Cherami to demonstrate her '''''huge''''' vocal range.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'': Many of the voice actors were decent singers and sang a lot of songs on the show or the original cassette tapes that it was based on. Phil Baron, the voice of Teddy, did a DoItYourselfThemeTune for the cartoon. Averted with Tony Pope on the cassette tapes, who couldn't sing well, so his characters performed fewer lyrics, half of which were SpokenWord (Gimmick sang more often in the cartoon when [[TheOtherDarrin John Stocker]] voiced him).

Takei then swiftly arranged to have his very first fencing lesson ever before the episode started filming, and discovered he liked it so much that he actually kept at it.

* This was actually the norm in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood. With film in its infancy and television not being invented yet, most early film stars got their start on the stage. While many of them were pure actors, many others started their careers as singers, dancers or comedians, hence the prevalence of gratuitous musical numbers in early talkies or slapstick physical comedy in otherwise dramatic films. That's just what the stars knew best.
