Fallout: New Vegas voice talent

Vegas wouldn't be Vegas without Wayne Newton.

(Wayne) Newton joins a marquee cast that includes Matthew Perry (Friends), Zach Levi (Chuck), Kris Kristofferson, Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Felicia Day (The Guild). Ron Perlman (Hellboy) serves as the game's narrator, a role he has played in several Fallout games, including the 1997 original.

My favorite quote?

"I have never been in a video game before and, frankly, have never played, simply because I have been working my whole life," Newton says.

Sounds awesome!

Nice, fallout 3 had some good voice acting (cmon it was 100x better than oblivion) so hopefully new vegas follows that trend.

Agreed. I've heard plenty of bashing about FO3's voice talent, and never really understood that.

You know that if Sinatra were still alive, they'd find a way to get him in the show.

The voice talent itself in Fallout 3 was never the problem, it's the number of voice actors/actresses that was the problem, even though the ones they've had for the game were talented they still were only a few of them, which resulted in hearing almost the same actor/actress over and over, be it for a random Raider to a very important quest-related character.

It's certainly easy to understand that no companies out there could possibly hire a thousand different voice actors for each and every single NPCs in such games, but they could have still tried to get a few more in my opinion, something along the lines of Mass Effect 2 would be great in my book.

Excellent point... It's pretty clear that they blew their wad on Liam Neeson. Maybe they'll have more NPC variety in New Vegas.

I dont recognize half those names, but the half I do recognize sound freakin awesome.
But I sincerely hope they spent some time on the story.

Like Oblivion blew its budget on Patrick Stewart.
