Then when i get to the credits I was looking through the voice actors and came along the name Martin Sheen, and im like yeah that explains the familiar voice, the main actor in Apocalypse Now,( or that guy from two and half mens' brother ) if you dont know.

inert Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Wait, you think Martin Sheen is Charlie Sheen's brother? So what does that make Emilio Estevez? Dude, you were out of the loop. There were several large teasers for ME2 with Martin Sheen talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkeh111 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Seth Green is Joker Martin Sheen is TIM, President Bartlett and Charlie Sheen's father There was something on game trailers about it.

Tullaris Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Martin Sheen was brilliantly cast; his voice completely made the Illusive Man what he is. Most of the cast was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 As soon as I heard the voice when watching pre-release videos, I knew right away that it was Martin Sheen. Sheen is one of my favorite actors and starred in one of my favorite movies; Apocalypse Now. Classic! "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjc0961 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Martin Sheen ... that guy from two and half mens' brother http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gifhttp://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gifhttp://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gifhttp://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gifhttp://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif Martin Sheen is Charlie Sheen's father, not brother! Charlie Sheen being the guy from Two and a Half Men, of course. Maybe a tangent, but one of my favorite commercials ever is still this one commercial about either a credit card or a check card... Charlie Sheen goes into a store to buy something, and tries to pay for his stuff with a check. The clerk at the counter is taking forever with the check, of course, asking for ID and whatnot. Then it cuts to the part about "use our card instead", then it goes back to the clerk holding up Charlie Sheen's driver's license. He says "this doesn't look like you", and then pulls down the license so the audience can see that Charlie has been replaced with Martin, who says "It did when I came in here."

Cypher_Cobra Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Martin Sheen did a great job. I hope he has a decent role in ME3. It's funny that Illusive Man LOOKS like Martin. Albeit younger and in better shape. It seems like Illusive Man, is the first video game job Martin has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vans Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Tricia Helfer from battlestar galactica tv show (and other stuff) is the voice of edi for those who know who she Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher_Cobra Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Liz Sroka is Tali's VA, who if you're a Bioware fan also did the VA for Mission Vao(KOTOR). Carth Onasi(KOTOR) is the same VA as Kaiden Alenko. Bastila Shan(KOTOR) and Shepard(female) are the same VAs. That VA is also doing the voice of Lightning(FF13). Jennifer Hale is her name I think.

Skillet Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sheen was cast perfectly for his role as The Illusive Man. But by far, I think my favorite voice actor is Nolan North. Seriously.... if you consider yourself any kind of gamer and don't recognize at least 5 characters on his resume, then you should be checking yourself for a pulse. Just to name a few.... Hades in God of War Sgt. Randall in Call of Duty 2 Ghostrider AND Hawkeye in Marvel Ultimate Alliance Desmond in the Assassin's Creed series The Prince in the latest Prince of Persia Sgt. Forge in Halo Wars Romeo in ODST Drake in Uncharted Not to mention various roles in games like Gears of War 2, Unreal Tournament, Halo 3, the SOCOM series, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, and even Avatar: The Last Airbender. Disregarding that last one.... I'd say that's on damn impressive resume. Also, I bet most of you didn't know that Marcus Fenix.... is also Bender from Futurama. The guy who plays Baird in Gears of War 2 also plays Tai in the same game. As well as one of the voices behind the Boomers AND he played Saren in the first Mass Effect. And I'm sure most people know that Keith David (Captain Anderson) also plays The Arbiter in the Halo series, and Julius in the Saints Row series. Wow..... I care WAY too much about voice actors....

WackFiend Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 This game is like a who's-who list of Sci-Fi/nerdom actors all crammed into one game. Not only from movies and television shows, but other video games as well. The Illusive Man - Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now, The West Wing, Spawn) Kal'Reegar - Adam Baldwin (Firefly, Serenity, Chuck, ODST) Captain Anderson - Keith David (Crash, Pitch Black, Platoon, Halo, Modern Warfare 2) Joker - Seth Green (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Robot Chicken, Family Guy, Austin Powers) Female Shephard - Jennifer Hale (Metal Gear Solid, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Syphon Filter, Mercenaries) EDI - Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, ODST, Starcraft II) Captain Bailey - Michael hogan (Battlestar Galactica) Jacob - Adam Lazarre-White (Heroes) Aria - Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix, Memento, Disturbia, Red Planet) Miranda - Yvonna Strahovski (Chuck) Uvenek - Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation) To be honest, I'm glad they didn't hire Nolan North. There's barely any game you can play nowadays where he's not voicing the main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
