        I think Jack Black can be considered a voice actor and a traditional actor, he has done a lot of good work for both

        There are very few voice actors who didn’t come up through “traditional” acting.

        Especially notable is Bojack which is considered the GOAT and to my knowledge doesn’t feature anyone who hasn’t done theatre, tv or film.

        Mel Blanc did TV before he did cartoons

        Dan Castellaneta did Second City and character comedy for years before the Simpsons

        Tom Kenny was an actor for 10 years before SpongeBob

        And so on

        the only one I can think of that would meet this description is Seth MacFarlane.
