I will never get over Christian Bale voicing Howl.

For over three decades, Studio Ghibli has provided the world with a catalogue of films filled with joy, warmth, childhood nostalgia and life lessons.

Starting with Spirited Away, which was released in 2001, the Japanese film studio proved that culturally different films could deeply resonate with audiences around the world.

As a result of that, English-dubbed versions of Studio Ghibli films featuring Hollywood actors became more widely available.

With that in mind, here are some famous names that have lent their voice to Studio Ghibli characters.
