Well, the other one I can think of off the top of my head is the winner of the "most frequently asked about voice" category - David Warner who voices Big Jon. There have been several threads on this - do a search and check them out.

Fallout I has Richard Dean Anderson.

Planescape: Torment has The Pretender as the protagonist, Homer Simpson, 1 of the Looney Toons, Smith from X-Files.

Can't remember anything else right now.

I concur... The voiceacting in the BG series, with a few notable exceptions that are found in only certain conversations, is far better than NWN... Sometimes the voiceacting in that game makes me flinch, and then it makes me wonder if I could do a better job of it. That puts things in perspective.
The answer was yes, of course. But then I wondered how one finds out about voiceacting gigs for video games in the first place.

OMG Irenicus is the voice of the narrator in Winnie the Pooh! Awww... such a cute voice

Also, IIRC, the voice of Anomen is pretty popular. He does the voice of Pinky in "Pinky & the Brain". Hehehe... Can't imagine him talking like that in BG2 [img]smile.gif[/img] . He does loads of other ones as well which I'm too lazy to look up atm [img]smile.gif[/img] .

And the voice of Gaelyn Baile (spelt wrong, I know) is also one of the pigeons in Animaniacs. Which is probably why he says 'Coo!', as a reference to his previous work.

*sigh* makes me wanna be a voice actor....

Michael Dorn is Bhaal in SoA. There's no mistaking that voice. (The same voice actor who voices the ToB NPC voices Bhaal in ToB. I'm having a serious brain fart at the moment and can't remember his name.)

Makes me laugh about all the "actors for a BG2 movie?" threads. The voice actors in this game are the best of the best, IMO. Only an animated movie would do this game justice.

It's amazing what a wealth of seemingly useless knowledge the internet can be. Homer Simpson and Earthworm Jim are one and the same, who woulda thought.

It seems to me that the BG developers were Star Trek fans...so many voice actors from it.

While on the subject, Theres a big stone dude in Star Fox adventures(GC) who sounds exactly like Korgan...is it him?
