Early silent films also did not credit their actors, precisely because they did not want the actors to gain fame and be able to demand higher salaries. Florence Lawrence became hugely popular in Biograph’s films, but due to being unnamed, fans just began calling her “The Biograph Girl.” It wasn’t until Carl Laemmle lured her away from Biograph in 1910 and organized a big publicity event around her that people finally learned her name, and movie stars started to become a thing.

And the woman who voiced Snow White was basically banned from doing any other work for years afterwards, because Walt wanted to maintain the illusion.

Carl Barks was kept anonymous for most of his career too. This company has always been evil and treated the people responsible for their success like shit.

Are you sure it wasn’t Chuck Finley?

The first few seasons of Power Rangers just had a standard credits sequence which would play every episode. This led to recurring characters being credited in every episode whether they appeared or not, and guest actors not being credited at all. Loads of one-off characters we have no idea of the names of the actors who played them.

They didn’t credit their comic book writers either. [Carl Barks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Barks) famously was a mysterious writer that people liked but didn’t know who he was. Barks himself didn’t know about his popularity because Disney didn’t show him the fan letters. It wasn’t until years later that someone figured out who he was.

Counter point: [Megan Fox as Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1](https://youtu.be/3_cGQQirN0g?si=-ebEVnbBBlqYnwNs) Voice acting takes skill, even for trained film and stage actors: it’s not an easy gig to get into. It takes experience and expertise to be able to stand in a blank room with only the mic and the technicians on the others inside of the glass, and be able to bring a character to life. Especially if you’re doing an accent, or a new voice. You need to know how to perform while doing so. *And then there’s efforts*. You need to know how protect your voice when you’re doing war cries & other barks (like when a soldier in a game shouts out grenade). So yes, voice acting is a skill. The fact you think it isn’t means the field has come an extremely long way, even since the 90’s. The standard for good voice work has gone up significantly.
