I've read somewhere that Billy West, the voices of Ren and Stimpy and Phillip J. Fry, can do a pretty good Garfield voice.

Frank Welker did an impersonation of his voice once, in the episode where Garfield gets the Hawaiian flu. There was this parrot that did impersonations, and impersonated Garfield. I feel that he could do Garfield's voice now, but apparently there is someone else. You might be able to see it on TV, but there's some commercial PSA about some writer's association featuring Garfield and Jim Davis. This was made recently, and it was a very good impersonation, though you can kinda tell it wasn't Lorenzo. But I digress.

Mark Hammil also did voices of 2 superheroes in one episode (The name escapes me at the moment, but the entire episode is on Youtube). Not to mention Greg Burson (sp? New Voice of Yogi Bear) also had a couple non-recurring characters.

Yes, Garfield and Friends had a lot of celebrity guest voices. Mostly veteran actors. Paul Winchell did a corrupt supermarket owner, Don Messick did a father bird and his son, June Foray did a witch, Jonathan Winters did a country store clerk, Marvin Kaplan did an angel cat, Buddy Hackett did a genie, James Earl Jones did a ghost, Rod Roddy did a game show announcer in an Orson episode, Kevin Meany did Orson's annoying censoring cousin, and George Foreman voiced a boxer.

Indeed. He played both roles, the evil capitalistic businessman who owned the supermarket, and the little old guy who ran the mom and pop organization, using voices similar to his characters of Dick Dastardly and Tigger respectively.
