Prof. Layton and the Curious Fandub, first casting call
M@ for Don Paolo
Don Paolo, first introduced as a mysterious figure, is the primary antagonist in the original trilogy of Professor Layton games. This fellow scientist is usually out to get whatever treasure or mystery Professor Layton is looking for, and calls himself Layton's nemesis. Don Paolo is rude, easily agitated, overly loud when he speaks, and antagonizes everyone he meets.
He is also a master of disguise, who, in every game, disguises himself as a major character, leading to a climactic reveal later in the game.
The below link leads to some voice samples from the game, though an impression is not needed to land the role. As Don Paolo is an extravagant character, I do expect his voice to be so as well. Despite being the antagonist he should also be a bit comedic in my opinion.

So this is St. Mystere, eh? The famed stomping ground of the late Baron Augustus Reinhold.
I wonder what kind of tricks the old coot set up in this village before he shuffled off.
Oh, Layton, you ridiculous dandy, just you wait! All the treasure you seek will be mine! Nyeh heh heh heh!
