I'm horrible at remembering faces and names! I am pretty good at recognizing voices though. For instance, in movies, a lot of the time I'll recognize well known actors by their voices before I recognize their faces.

That exactly happens to me! My country dubs the movies, and I'm always saying things like these while I'm watching them with family or friends:

"Ah, the voice of this character is the voice of the dubbing actor of Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, and Michael Caine!"

"The voice of this Batman is from the same dubbing actor that dubs the broken voice of Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire".

"The voice of this unknown guy is the voice of the dubbing actor of that guy that appears at the beginning of Braveheart as a groom".
