After being asked, @JasonMarsden tweeted:
Yes VG fans, that's me you hear in Fallout New Vegas. I make funny sounds when I die.

Just found this...do you agree? I don't remember thinking that but Boone almost never dies in my game. He does do a few grunts I don't understand.

\ :fallout:

Take Boone into Dead Wind cave and have him lead the assault, I can guarantee he will die.

I just looked up Jason Marsden on IMDB. Hes got some great credentials. He was on a lot of my favorite shows growing up!

I mostly remember him from X-Men, but can't really match him up to Boone because they're so different. I guess that's quite a compliment to give to a voice actor - means they're doing it right!

I think you're thinking of James Marsden....in which case the OP has it wrong!

I can't take him seriously as Boone because I keep picturing Myron from Fallout 2 every time he opens his mouth.

No, the game and IMDB have it wrong (someone's typo). It's JASON Marsden doing Craig Boone's voice and he was never in X-Men.

That's really the reason I posted when I found the second confirmation on Twitter....plus, one of the developers confirmed it on the Felicia Day thread here. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1131435-felecia-day/page__hl__felicia%20day__st__20 (see Jason Bergman). I hope they can fix that in the credits. But anyway, I think the voice is perfect for the square-jawed Boone and his backstory.

Yeah..i'm more inclined to believe you as it does sound awfully like Tino Tonatini from Disney's the Weekenders...just with a really serious voice.

After you sent me the link with the developer post stating it was Jason Marsden (not James as the credits state) I PM'd the Dev and he said it was indeed a typo and would be fixed in a patch in the future so Jason would get the credit.

I always laugh when he notices a baddie coming and exclaims "Oh my!" like a little old lady.

Hey Jeff, that's good news. People should know it's Jason. I know what you mean about the comments. He keeps wanting to aim my weapon for me because I'm such a bad shot and I just keep saying ok, ok. I'll try harder. He thinks Benny's a piece of work too.

Haha, that's quite a jump from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S539C6rOPoU.

:rofl: Thanks, Smert. That video was a scream. It's hard to believe that was 1998. I never got to play Fallout2 but if I ever get the chance... I hear Boone in there but it's really different. What a perv!
