I can't wait to see how Adam Baldwin plays his character this time around. He may just be worth the game alone. | |
Damn Michael Dorn Just Keeps getting Typecast. when are they gonna let him lose those brow ridges! Impressive set of voice actors. but would expect no less from BioWare I know most people remember Adam Baldwin for Firefly but to me he has always and will always be Animal Mother. | |
That's quite a line-up. Considering the ridiculous amount of dialogue a voice-actor has to record in an average BioWare game, it's nice to see that it's going to be in the hands of...well...talented people.
Yeah, but Orson Welles died right after that movie. Please BioWare...don't kill Martin Sheen. | |
Damn, this is why I love Bioware, they got the goods when it comes to voice actors (IE they get talented people, and don't kill them off in 5 minutes.) | |
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.160674 ninjaed. but yer it sounds like a good cast list. | |
There's been lots of talk over the past few months on the BioWare forums about who they'd get for various roles. Hogan and Sheen were both mentioned as possibilities, but to think we got them both...awesome. | |
I just had the greatest nerdgasm ever. Man that cast list looks great. | |
I'm happy as long as the voices from the first game are the same. | |
Holy crap! Joker was Seth Green!? I knew I recognised the voice! Also, that's a damn impressive cast list. Good on BioWare! | |
First I hear it's on two bloody DvDs, and then this cast list? Argh, game can not be released soon enough - stupid future, hogging the good stuff! | |
Sweet, Animal Mother/Jayne is in this game. | |
...The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!I'm glad we still have Joker and Cpt.Anderson (He's an Admiral now!). | |
Wasn't this one a given? Or were they really considering recasting "Joker"? | |
Martin Sheen is the Illusive Man? Awesome ;o | |
But not with those IMDB links. Can't win em all. ;) | |
Anyone that smacks Udina in the face deserves a promotion! | |
Oh hell yes. Kieth David FTMFW. | |
I can imagine deaf gamers reading this and getting bitter. They do have my sympathies. | |
That's the whole Chuck cast right there, except for Chuck himself LOL | |
If this Captain Bailey fella isn't wearing an eyepatch, i'll delete Mass Effect 2 from my Hard Drive. | |
Just another reason for me to start getting over-excited about ME2. | |
Yah John Carpenter rocks and Keith David has a badass voice. Ever watch that HBO Spawn cartoon? I notice Lance Henriksen is not on the list. He was in part one as the general dude who was always callin you up with random missions. Another good voice. | |
Wow. How much did that cost? BTW, I think either Tricia Helfer and Keith David get paid huge amounts of cash, or they both like science fiction. Why? Because you might remember they have also played characters in Halo. | |
Keith David was also the Arbiter in Halo, BTW. | |
Hmm, Tricia Helfer also does voice acting for Starcraft 2. | |
JAAAAAYNE THE MAN THEY CALLED JAYYYYNE! | |
Ha! I might buy it just to listen to Adam Baldwin. He seems to be getting a few game VO jobs now. If only the Captain was going to be on it as well. | |
I agree that Michael Hogan has a lucrative future in video game voicing if he wants it. I'm playing Gothic 3 right now and I was convinced that some of the random comments made by NPCs were voiced by him until I checked IMDB. Maybe it's just because the lines in question are delivered in a grumpy manner. | |
Let's hope Mr. Baldwin's acting is better than in ODST. I loved him in Firefly but that game really made me rethink my dream of haveing the Firefly cast star in EVERYTHING. | |
Worf Yeah, nothing can stop me from getting this game now. | |
This just makes me want to play it all the more, definitely one of my must haves for next years Q1. | |
Holy shit... I'm guessing half of the game's budget went to voice actors... Interesting, now let's just hope the script lives up to it. | |
Michael Hogan AND Martin Sheen? I can't fucking wait for this game. | |
I like to think of him as Major John Casey from Chuck. =-) That show is frickin' sweet. Yvonne is in there too?!?! Jesus, the only way it could get better is if Zachary Levi was in it also...............mmmmmmmmmmmm. They should just make a Chuck video game, that would be awesome. | |

Mass Effect 2 Cast List Announced
BioWare is pulling out all the stops, dropping some big names for the cast of its sci-fi sequel, Mass Effect 2.
There are some big sci-fi veterans appearing in Mass Effect 2, like Micheal Dorn from TNG and Tricia Helfer, the waifish blonde cylon from Battlestar Galactica. And some names return from the first game like good old Seth Green and Keith David. But holy crap, Emmy award-winning Martin Sheen? That's like getting Orson Welles to be in the Transformers animated film from the 80s. Wait a second...
Anyway, here's the cast members announced for Mass Effect 2, with convenient IMDB links:
Martin Sheen ("Illusive Man")
Shohreh Aghdashloo ("Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay")
Seth Green ("Joker")
Yvonne Strahovski ("Miranda Lawson")
Adam Baldwin ("Kal 'Reegar")
Keith David ("Admiral David Anderson")
Michael Dorn ("Gatatog Uvenk")
Tricia Helfer ("EDI")
Michael Hogan ("Captain Bailey")
Carrie-Anne Moss ("Aria T'Loak")
I'm especially excited that Michael Hogan, Colonel Saul Tigh from BSG is on the list. He was arguably my favorite character from the series, playing a racist drunk who finds out [SPOILER SNIPPED]. If Hogan ends up a fixture of videogame voice acting from here on out, I will die a happy man.
Also, Trinity! And the man called Jayne! This cast list is truly a sci-fi nerdgasm.
Mass Effect 2 comes out for both the 360 and PC platforms on January 26th in N.A. and the 29th in Europe.
