Fun Exercise in Coincidence -

So, there are three major actors from the Mummy who appear as voice actors for DC. Brendan Fraser, obviously, as Robot Man, but also Oded Fehr as Dr. Fate in JL Unlimited and Ra’s Al Ghul in YJ, and Arnold Vosloo, who did Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam, voicing Black Adam, All Star Superman as Bar-El and Green Lantern: Emerald Knights as Abin Sur.

While I know that this sort of thing is generally just a fun coincidence, what other ‘fun coincidences’ are out there? Anyone else notice a group of individuals associated together from something else who have all ended up at DC one way or another?
