Game Skyrim Forum

Never heard of him. I don't really care though, as long is he wasn't that expensive. I'd rather them spend more on a big varied cast of actors rather than some high payed "celebrity" voices that you can hardly even tell are "celebrities" half the time anyways.

Sir Walter Loxley.

Dude I am 34 and I listen to punk and techno and bands you probably dont know from the 80's like depeche mode, last concert I went to was moby 2 yrs ago, and the simple fact that im not gay prevents me from watching or listening to some underage kid singing about love or six or something else he probably knows little or nothing about except from some pubascent viewpoint that has no basis in the realities of a grown up world. BTW looked him up just to respond lol

Hahahaha. Yes we are all pretty much ashamed of that brat here in Canada... the pride of our nation. :facepalm:

ahhh the woman I swore to give up meat for,... I truly never heard of him before ... I dont think anyway lol

He's had a long career so he should be good at voice acting though I only saw one of ther animation credited which was ghostbusters the game!!

Sounds familiar. :huh:

I'm a bit of an Ingmar Bergman fan, so yeah: I've heard of Max Von Sydow and instantly recognized his very distinctive voice on the trailer. But I wouldn't say I'd seen his every film. The Seventh Seal (in which he famously plays chess with death) is the obvious example, but he was great in The Virgin Spring too, playing a similar medieval knightly character.

eeeh...You do realise I replied to the comment that clearly was about von Sydow and not the one that is lower in the thread and seems to be about Beiber, Bieber or whatever that kid's name is? Btw, I'm 24 and I grew up on 80's music :hehe:

Pfft <_< - Liam Neeson has a bland voice, in Fallout 3 he sounded so bored by it all - his responses had no emotion or depth. By contrast I find Max Von Sydow's voice to have experience, depth, emotion and passion. It's also quite pleasant on the ears and at least he tries to sound different, something that Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson and Anthony Hopkins haven't tried to do in years..

Good voice actors..

James Earl Jones
Keith David
Dennis Haysbert
Michael Wincott
Clancy Brown

Don't forget Mark Hamill. Amazing voice actor. It would be awesome if Bethesda got him.

Duh :facepalm: Knew there was someone I was missing..

Check out Hamill's voice work as Adrian "Rip" Ripburger (if you haven't already) on the classic LucasArt adventure 'Full Throttle'..

Never heard of him until people started saying he narrated the Skyrim teaser.

As a scandinavian, he is quite familiar to me. He has played in a lot of european movies, and some american too(Like Minority Report).

The bit about wrestling at the end was hilarious.

Only ever seen him in Shutter Island.

He is familiar to me however the only movie I've seen with him in it is The Seventh Seal.

Classic scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtqB2XO9jtI

How is his last name pronounced? Is the 'y' like a long 'e' or a long 'i' in English?

Shutters Island........ is that the unknown follow up to Shutter Island? :hubbahubba:

Hard to describe and I'm not good with the phonetic alphabet either so an example should be in place.
Listen to the last part of this recording. Click on the little play button (button with a triangle on it).

it's "see-dohv", if i'm not horribly mistaken. (sydowahkiin~)

i know of him, but that's really only because we share the same last name; i haven't really seen any of his movies. i did get a book as a kid that he narrated, though, and he had a good voice back then, so i'm sure he's up for the part.

So it's like "see dough" instead of "sigh dough?"

Edit: Wait.. the w is like a v?

Edit 2: Lol at might be a couch.. sydowakhiin..

welcome to german/scandinavian/slavic. there's a reason the evil german mad scientists in movies always say "vee" instead of "we".

Yes the w is like a v.

Since I've heard of him I've been saying "sigh dough" when it's really "see dove" :facepalm:

Thanks guys.
