WHO is that voice actor who does the courier (and a bunch of : V

Seriously, where have I heard his voice before? It's insanely familiar. Every time I hear it it takes me out of the game, because the voice is WAY too unique to give to multiple characters.

He almost sounds like he'd voice a lead male in an animated Disney movie or something? That's the best way I can describe it, haha.

I have wondered about this as well. I hear it everywhere!

Yeah. That guys done a lot of voice work. Odd that they assigned him to a nameless generic character though.

Are you talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgn9k9cuTjM? He probably sounds like something out of an animated Disney movie because he IS. He voices Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Dark Wing Duck, the singing voice of Scar in the Lion King, etc. etc.

If it's the one I'm thinking of it was bugging me for a long time too (kind of high pitched, middle American accent?)

Did you ever watch Weekenders on Disney? I think it's Tino's voice actor.

Look it up on YouTube if you haven't seen it and tell me I'm not mad...

You probably recognize him from SW:KOTOR.

Don't think so, this guy sounds legitimately younger.

Never played it, so no.

Hmmm... Dragon Age? He was in that too.

James Marsden. Sounds familiar cause he did the English voice of Haku in Spirited Away. First noticed it with Sven in Riverwood.

Anyone else notice that the male guards sometimes sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Or am I just crazy?

Think you're right! Never really watched Weekenders but that's how I found out who he was too after reading the above post. He's been in everything. I think I remember him from the Tak games that I used to play, haha.

Thanks everyone!

You're not crazy, but it's not Arnold.

Erm... A big named actor playing a nobody character? Seems a bit unlikely. I mean, the dude was Cyclops in those crappy X-Men movies wasn't he?

» Sat May 12, 2012 4:47 am

Oh, and this voice actor was Rosh Penin in Jedi Academy.

The guy who voices http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k_es89oguY? Yeah, I think I recognize him from a BioWare game, but I don't know which. Mass Effect or KotOR.

He's in the credits and the voice actor cast list online, and I'd say voicing almost every bard (besides the trololol Orc one) and a lot of other characters, he has a big VA role in the game.

Yes, that Cyclops.

I hear that all the time! And maybe I'm the only one, but Erandur from Waking Nightmares sounds like Joshua Graham to me.

in oblivion 1 of the main discussions was the lack of different voices, in skyrim there are over 80 different ppl doing voice overs, including some A listers

Yea that was cool and adds to that powerful warlike angle of SKYRIM.

Am expecting that sixy witch Morgana to appear any minute.
