There are some characters that have Voice Actors who just embody that character so much that no one else could ever match them. Here are my top 4 examples of such VAs:
#4:Zach Callison(Steven's VA):

Let's be honest: Zach doesn't just voice Steven: HE IS STEVEN. No one else could ever truly embody and link with Steven's character the way Zach does.
#3:Mako Iwamatsu(Aku's VA):

One of the things that delayed the reboot of Samurai Jack was trying to find a VA to replace Mako after his passing. And while Aku's new VA did a good job, it was clear to see that no one could truly voice Jack's Archnemesis like Mako. RIP.
#2:Mark Hamill(Joker's VA):

Y'all can have your Heath Ledgers, your Joaquin Phoenixes and your Jared Letos, but when it came to capturing the true form of Joker's fragmented mind and twisted personality, no one can best Uncle Mark.
#1:Robin Williams(Genie's VA);

This man is truly missed. He brought a lot of laughs to the childhoods of so many as the Genie. And while Dan Castenella isn't bad by any means, no one could truly bring magic to Genie's character like Robin Williams. In other words, we'll never have a friend like him again:
