I presumed that was a photoshop job by joystiq. Because if it wasn't, she does look exactly like her.

President Bartlet! Good to know Martin Sheen plays a voice in the game.

I totally missed the Grabthar's Hammer gag up top until now. Now if they could score some of that cast, that'd be a real coup.

Is Tricia Helfer getting oversaturated in VA work? I'm still iffy on her taking over the Kerrigan role for SC2 when the original VA was fully willing to take the role up again. Why do we need all these random big name actors? Keith David was the biggest actor in ME1 and it did just fine.
And I'd really like a complete cast list, since I follow a lot of the anime and video game VAs who get bit roles at best in games like this. Let me know if I'll hear Steve Blum as Krogan C and Human Mercenary 4!

As long as I don't hear Nolan North then I'm fine. That man is only good as Drake as far as I'm concerned.

That does sound dumb. They should have used the original.
As mentioned, Nolan North is in Ratchet, which I've been playing and it's not distracting. I do agree he's in too many leading roles with his own voice though.

Holy shit! Saul Tigh and Number Six. Sounds pretty boss. Martin Sheen's great too.

Jennifer Hale! Yay!

I work in the business so I don't normally get star struck, but I definitely was like, "omfg that's Tigh. I'm standing next to Tigh!" Met Ron Moore there, too. My man is short, but those wavy locks were in full effect.
It was at the BSG prop auction. Got the day off and the near-missus wanted to go shopping at the shopping center across the street so while she was lookin at shoes, I was hangin' with Saul-fucking-Tigh.

Michael frakkin' Hogan. Does it get any better? That man's voice is LEGEND.
I'm stoked about every single one of these peeps...now all we need is some more Admiral Hackett (Lance Henriksen) and I'll be happy.

LMAO! That David Keith strikethrough is classic! It's like you wrote "David Keith" first, then realized you meant "Keith David," so instead of backspacing to correct the error you did a strikethrough to show us what a crazy oopsie you made!

Shohreh Adhdashloo = man voice!!

Wow! What a great cast! Cool to see Agdashloo in anything (she was great in House of Sand and Fog and on 24) and even though Keith David freaks me out and does almost too much VoiceOver work for games, he does do a good job. Just another reason for me to pick this up!

Are all these big name voice actors necessary? Can't some small, no name ones do a good job for a fraction of the price?

I love Firefly as much as the next guy but can we at least acknowledge that Adam Baldwin, like Yvonne Strahovski, can currently be seen on Chuck, premiering January 10th at 9/8c?
... and that Shohreh "I'll forgive you for misspelling her name" Aghdashloo can be seen playing Saddam Hussein's wife Sajida Khairallah Talfah in the HBO original miniseries House of Saddam?
Note #1: as insincere as the above sounds, Chuck is a fantastic program for nerds and non nerds alike and you should probably start watching it when it comes back on.
Note #2: I was going to call her Chien Aghdashloo but decided the above was funnier. Thoughts?
Note #3: I like writing notes.

The video game gods have blessed us. Perhaps I will pick this up...
I would do it without a thought if I had finished the first. Except some douche deleted my save file 3/4 of the way through the game and I couldn't be fucked to do it again.
Cheerio.
