EDITOR'S OPINION
This is a tricky Voice Compare since the character is caucasian and black. I think every voice actor did a good job. My favorite Caucasian Nick Fury voices are by Jack Angel, Scott McDonald and Scottie Ray. My favorite Black Nick Fury voices are by Andre Ware and Samuel L. Jackson.Jackson_H

Phil Abbot - Pretty good for classic Nick Fury.
Jack Angel - Not as good as Phil, but fine.
Mark Gibbon - OK, not very memorable.
Jim Byrnes - Same.
Dave Fennoy - A little too deep for me.
Andre Ware - Perfect as Ultimate Fury.
Scott MacDonald - Perfect as Classic Fury.
Mark Graue - Luigi, look! Just kidding. He did OK.
Alex Desert - Liked him in AEMH.
Dean Redman - He sounds cool. His voice has a real sense of authority.
David Kaye - Really good.
KMR - I know he could do better.
Samuel L. Jackson - Same as his movie performance. Good.
John Eric Bentley - Doesn't really sound like Sam, but an OK performance.
Scottie Ray - Too raspy.
Khary Paton - A little too light, but I can't hate Khary.
Chi McBride - Pretty much perfect.

I think this one depends on which verison of Nick Fury you prefer.
For classic Nick Fury, I'm going with Scott MacDonald, though Marc Graue, Mark Gibbon, Jim Byrnes, and David Kaye were good, too
For Ultimate Nick Fury, yeah, giving this one to Samuel L. Jackson without a doubt, especially since starting with the Ultimates, Ultimate Nick Fury was based on the guy. That said, Dave Fennoy, Alex Desert, Chi McBride, Khary Payton, Dean Redman, and Andre Ware are good, too.

I hope after The Avengers comes they use white fury a bit more.

@pete No offense, but if anything, they're probably use Ultimate Fury more after the Avengers movie. In fact, the classic Marvel universe recently introduced a version of Ultimate Fury.

@pete In the mini-series "Battle Scars", they introduced a character based on Ultimate Fury who turns out to be the original Fury's biological son. His real name even turns out to be "Nick Fury, Jr."

Here is my list:
Black:
1. Samuel L. Jackson (I always think to myself "He really is Nick!")
2. Dean Redman
3. Andre Ware (sounds pretty authorative)
4. Khary Payton
5. Alex Desert (He sounds sorta too jazzy for the part, but still a decent choice)
6. Dave Fennoy
7. John Eric Bentley
8. Kevin M. Richardson (sounds too shaky for the role)
White:
1. Mark Gibbon
2. Scott McDonald
3. David Kaye
4. Marc Graue
5. Scottie Ray
6. Jack Angel
7. Jim Byrnes
8. Philip Abbott

Really should just split the two version of him into two different comparisons. As it stands, it's not really fair.

@KaiserNeko I don't know much about Nick Fury, but if race is the only difference, I don't have a problem with it being one. He's still the same character whether he's black or white.
ReplyKaiserNeko said at 5:10 PM on Sat May 14 2011
@NCZ They are similar, but NOT the same, I can assure you that.
ReplyKaiserNeko said at 5:20 PM on Sat May 14 2011
@NCZ OG Nick Fury is less cool and controlled than Ultimate. Their personalities are different enough, as well as their backgrounds, to make them different characters.
Furthermore, if I think about Ultimate Nick Fury, I can only imagine an African American actor playing him. For -obvious- reasons. So I'm stuck voting on ONE VERSION of the character, even though there is, quite frankly, two different versions with differing personalities and ethnicities!

For the standard Nick Fury I choose Scott McDonald, he plays a convincing military like leader.
For the Ultimate one I'd go with Andre Ware.

For classic fury my vote goes to Scott MacDonald, he did him perfectly! I'll give second place to Marc Graue & Jim Byrnes with Scottie Ray & David Kaye in third. As for ultimate fury my vote goes to, (who else!), Samuel L Jackson! Second place goes to Andre Ware & Dave Fennoy with Dean Redman & Alex Desert in third. not much to say on Kevin, but John Eric Bentley was good! However, in a game where he was supposed to fill in for Sam Jackson, he sounded way too different! I'd like to see him in another project as Fury, where he could probably be better appreciated! :)

Well no offense, but I have to disagree! I'm not trying to be rude, its just I dont like how the ultimate nicks been outshining the classic nick! Ive always been a bigger fan of the classic nick and he just doesnt get enough publicity anymore, one little animated appearance wouldnt hurt. I'll stop now before it starts to sound like im ranting, but I will say that the ultimate nick is a whole lot more bad @$$!!! :)

Since Ultimate Fury is based on Samuel L. Jackson, the only suitable voice is Sam himself. However, Alex Desert is very good for the role.
I like how Ultimate Fury is pretty much taking over. 616 Fury is slowly being phased out of existence. I like it. I've always like Ultimate Fury better.

Jim Byrnes and David Kaye are the best white Nick Fury voices. For black Nick Fury, Samuel L. Jackson wins hands-down.

ignore smarttamarr94's rudeness...
I talked it over with the other admins and we're going to keep it as it is for now.
After all we have some other VC in similar situations.
e.g. Terry McGinnis of Batman Beyond in the Batman VC (most would assume is Bruce Wayne).
Also some Transformers VC too.

It's possible the source I screen-capped the pic from might have been a mirror video. Either that or TPTB made a mistake.

Still missing Khary Payton from X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse. If anyone can send me or direct me to a clip I'll add him asap.
Also I'm not 100% sure John Eric Bentley's clip is him since info for the Iron Man 2 game said he did additional dialogue. However since it sounded difference than Samuel L. Jackson's voice I used it.
If I'm wrong feel free to correct me and give me a legit clip.
