Well, most of us are much more familiar with live actors, and certainly I'd use those a reference point for conveying what I think the character sounds like, particularly if they've pulled off similar roles. So laziness, I guess?

Personally I've never been *particularly* unhappy with live-actors doing voice work, at least when I've recognised the voice? I thought Nathan Fillion was fine in the DC animated movies, for example.
