This looks weird to me too. I can't believe that they can't find someone with a voice similar to the original actor.
But there's one case where doubling is very good and it's for "The Simpsons"
The voice of Bart in french is close to his voice in english.
>I've watched some shows that were translated into Spanish and it always was strange for me to hear an actor speaking not in a different language, but in a totally different voice.

>>That was good TV. The only TV program that I don't want to miss (on season) is 24. I have'nt watched the first season in english. I've been lucky because it's been translated in french. So I watched it. I taped the third season last season on FOX. This year I'll watch second season (in french again), I'll tape fourth season (fox) and when I'm finished watching it in french I'll have some catching up to do with on the english side.
