It turns out that he's done voices/acted in some 70+ films and games, and has had another 70+ notable TV appearances!! (his deep unique voice must be very popular!)

You can spot his accent a mile off, especially if you've played the BG/IWD series a million times over and know exactly what he sounds like!

The first film I noticed his voice in was Lilo and Stitch a couple of months ago (he played Captain Gantu). BTW Rataxes, I don't think he played a role in Phone Booth, I checked the whole cast listing and he wasn't there....

Whoa, he looks a lot diff than i pictured ;)

<font color=white> Aren't the voices a little bit tinkered with?

Like adding sounds and making it more deeply and harder... It aint just a guy that says some sentences and walks away.. BioWare crew saying ''Okay thats a wrap! now were done...''

Surely it is that those voices have been altered and edited to be used in BG II, and make it so that they fit the ''atmosphere''

Not..? </font>

Don't know about that, Irenicus sounds exactly like David Warner himself, at least when he played the crazy captain in Hornblower. I doubt they actually fiddled with his voice that much. They are actors you know, they can most likely alter their voice themselves sufficiently to fit the atmosphere ;)

The guy who did Sarevok also did DEMONGO in Samurai Jack?!??!?!?... at's a seriously soprano voice... wow! Great range.

I was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze yesterday with my son, when a certain voice caught my attention. This dorky-looking, middle-aged scientist spoke with the voice of Irenicus. I don't think I'll ever be able to take Irenicus seriously again... [img]smile.gif[/img] So, if you want a good idea as to what the man that talks Irenicus looks like, watch TMNT II. David Warner plays a pretty big part in it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go smack around a certain little sissy mage/scientist we all know...

Well, I saw Phone Booth over the weekend (liked it) and I have to agree with Rataxes here, the narration voice at the start of the film is most definately Kevin Richardson's (Sarevok).

I don't think so. The NPC voices AFAIK are true to the actors portraying them. Sarevok's is definately true to Kevin Richardson's voice, as is Jeremy Irons to Irenicus' voice. Other than compressing the signal, and running them through various noise reduction/removal filters, the voices should be unchanged.

Com. Officer? Was it the enclave you can get contact from Gecko's nuclear plant? That "The-United-f**king-States-of-f**king-America"-guy? (IIRC, it was something like that, once had a screenshot of it [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) That was so hilarious when I heard it first time. Not that I like cursing but it just came so 'good'.

BTW, offtopic (like this whole post was not?), but does somebody here play Fallout 2? IMO, it is the best CRPG. (Oh forgive, second best, BG2 is better, not much but still. [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Geez.. Now I don't wonder why I found that Pyro's sound so oddly familiar, although it's been modified quite a bit. :D

You should see all the stuff on the guy that did Minsc, Jim Cummings http://us.imdb.com/Name?Cummings,%20Jim

Dundee Slaytern 04-23-2003 02:29 AM

The voice of Minsc is also the voice of Tazok and Gorion in BG1? Twisted... not to mention Arundel in IWD.
