Some big names in there! Who woulda thunk it . . .

IMDB

not really, the only 'big name' is Louis Gossett, Jr.

Robert Guillaume isn't a big name, but he's been around a long time and has a pretty distinctive voice. First time you hear Eli speak, you just know who it is.

I'd also say there are some surprisingly "big" names that I would not have thought and did not recognize.

Robert Culp is a name I've known longer than any of the others. He has starred in many things, one of the first of which was the early 60's TV show "I Spy" along with Bill Cosby.

 

[CrystalBay]

yeah, I remember "I Spy"

WOw, those users at IMDb are really tearing HL2 down. Hmmm, maybe matrix29 would realize that it usually takes a while for normal internet connections to download 4 GB.

The voice acting is pretty good, but it seems like the same guy does 75% of the voices. And did anyone else notice that almost everyone is American?

Uh, actually he did a great Job...that's just how Gman talks...he has this halting speech dealy.

I think... They made... Him sound... Like Dr. Schreber... In Dark City...
(Keifer Sutherland if you have seen it.)

I'd also be interested to see the faces that were used. The last part of the credits mentions borrowed faces. It would be neat to see how they did.

Big-name talent only matters if it doesn't affect the performance. The only "name" in KOTOR was Ed Asner (Mr. Grant!!!) and that didn't seem to hurt things much. Darth Malek was voiced by the guy who does half of the movie trailer voice-overs. Whatever works.

Robert Guillaume was Benson fercryingoutloud!

Who wants to bet that "matrix29" is using the drivers that came with his GeForce 2 MX card he bought 4 years ago?

Says who? It didn't seem like that throughout the game. His speech in the beginning was a bit bad, seemed like he had trouble breathing, but that was the only time this happened.

I thought the speech and the beginning and end sounded the same. Can't recall hearing him speak at any point in between.

Same actor did the voices of G-man and Barney, so we know the guy knows how to speak, must have sounded like that for a reason...
I think it was for the "dramatic tension." :shocked:
