Jim Cummings should win a award for doing the most male voices in one show. in Tail Spin, jim did over 40 male charactor voices for the show.
amazing, I knew mel blanc and daws butler could do a whole show by themselfs but didn't know anyone these days could do so many at once.

Hank Azaria does 13 recurring characters on The Simpsons as well as tons of one-shot characters.
Harry Shearer does about 15 on The Simpsons as well
Billy West did 7 voices on Futurama
Maurice LaMarche does tons of voices everywhere...
Jeff Bennett is another ubiquitous voice performer.. Same with John Di Maggio .
Tom Kenny is everywhere too (referred to by Billy west as "the funniest man in pants)
And not to leave the women out:
Tress MacNeille did 13 voice in Futurama and almost as many on the Simpsons not counting just about every other cartoon.. (and is Daisy Duck..)
I love voice actors..

Hmmm, did Dory give a nod to that in Finding Nemo?

My favorite Tress Macneille voices are as Lucy in Weird Al's "Ricky", and the wife in "Jerry Springer". Also the voice of Babs Bunny on "Tiny Toon Adventures". I wish that show was back--it was great!

Not as many as Jim, but don't forget ubiquitous Corey Burton who does a whole host of modern Disney voices:
Captain Hook, Ludwig von Drake, Dale, Grumpy, Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Gruffi Gummi, Toadwart and countless "Additional Voices".
In the parks, he's the radio announcer on Universe of Energy, the announcer at Tough To Be A Bug, General Knowledge in Cranium Command, a couple voices from "The Water Engine" at old World of Motion,
If you expand it to Universal, he's the voice of The Fish and the safety announcements in Cat in the Hat at IOA.
And while we're at it, how about something that'll mess up your mind? ;)
The next time you're viewing "Wishes" and the Genie segment starts, just think "Homer Simpson". (Dan Castellaneta, who does the voice of Homer, has been the voice of the Genie since after the original movie)

Except the third movie Rob: that was Robin Williams again.
and what about Frank Wells? Pulled off Megatron, Freddie (scooby-doo), Ray and Slimer (real ghostbusters) and i believe he does a voice in American Adventure as well.
or rob Paulson.
Seth McFarlane is another who does NUMEROUS on his own show (half the griffin family alone, tom tucker, quagmire, etc).

You're thinking of Frank Welker. Also did the voice of Nibbler in Futurama.

Um...wow....569 entries going all the way back to the Jetsons....
Frank Wells was the guy that kinda kept Eisner in check.
