BruceDickenson Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Maybe it's me, but I think the person who did the voice acting for the Jedi Vrook is the same person who did the narration in Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate 2's chapter breaks. Cool voice, I hope both Obsidian and Bioware continue to throw in little things like that for long time fans. Maybe we'll see The Nameless One in a game down the road...

Laozi Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ya Ed Asner is great. When hes not eating meatloaf or calling some kid a punk hes doing quality voice work People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Actually the narrator for BG was Kevin Richardson, who also voiced Sarevok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Jebus Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I was actually gonna say that the narrator for BG did the voice for Zez Kai-Ell. Maybe not. But I thought so. Also, the person that voiced Handmaiden also voiced Nalia in BG2. And I believe there was a character named Canderous in the original Baldur's Gate if I'm not mistaken.

Ashe Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Read the game entries on IMDB at some point. It's quite enlightenening what some of these voice actors have actually done., not just in terms of games, but in terms of cartoons, and in some cases Hollywood films (and the obvious Star Trek bloke from KotOR1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 The Handmaiden also does Foster Home for Imaginery Friends Danny Phantom and countless other cartoons. The only one missing is Tara It's a very impressive voice cast. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothos Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Yep, Kevin Richardson was the guy who did the narration in the BG series, AND he was Jolee Bindo in KoTOR. As far as I can tell, he wasn't listed among the VO talents in this game, although I also could have sworn that was him as Master Zez (remarkably similar voice if that wasn't him). However, I think it's safe to say that Ed Asner will not be making an appearance in KoTOR 3 as Vrook after the events of KoTOR 2, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's kinda cool how there seem to be only 100 or so voice actors in the world (at least only 100 who ever get any work) - it means I can accurately name quite a lot of them just by hearing their voice in various tv shows/movies/games.

The Merciful Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Computer game voice actors seems to be a small circle. I'm quite sure that the guy who did LaCroix's ghoul in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines was also one of the salvagers - IIRC the one in the ruins. Move along, nothing to see here!

I never did get BG1, but I loved the Cleric Quintet.. I only ever seem to recognise a few voice actors. The guy guarding the gate in the village of outcasts in KotOR 1 was Pavel in NWN, and that Dentist in Fairly Odd Parents was Iago the Parrot in Aladdin, but that's about all I know, because the voices aren't often quite so identical as with both of them, Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of his role in the Matrix, he voiced a character in one of the Animatrix episodes (Lasf Flight Of The something-or-other). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
