Voice actors

I know this is such an inconsequential thing, but it really threw me for just a second, and I had to share.
You know the voice actor for Minsc? I actually don't know his name myself, so if anyone else does, it would solve that conundrum for me. Anyway, I was watching Curious George with my daughter, and I heard that same voice actor's voice coming out of the mouth of an ice cream maker! It was just... weird!

Edit: It's Jim Cummings, and not only did he voice Minsc, he also voiced.... Gorion. Weeeeiiiiird.

His name is Jim Cummings and is a voice actor who has done quite a bit of work

 

I did the voice of Keldorn.

 

^Splunge, YOU are the voice of Keldorn? Really? That's so cool!

 

No, Splunge was just the model for the Keldorn portrait.

 

Heh, if he did the voice of Keldorn that would also mean that Splunge did the voice for Mojo Jojo in the Powerpuff Girls cartoons, the telephone voice from the Scream films, a large assortment of imperial voices for several Star Wars game, and the usual huge assortment of misc. credits that voice actors seem to accumulate.

 

Check Wikipedia if you want info about the voice actors

 

i just remember flipping through the TV channels and hearing something along the line of "Moosk will be free". Turns out somebody behind the kids cartoon "Codename: kids next door" must love the BG series since they had jim cummings come in a basically redo minsc for this character, "Moosk", in one of the episodes. Heck, his animation was basically minsc with a mustache and missing a hamster.

 

actually check www.imdb.com you can find a lot of voice actors for games there, including baldurs gate

 

I did an imdb check and Minsc is also... Darkwing Duck. I think my brain may very well explode.

(On an off rant, my two very favourite voice actors are Simon Templeman--who voiced Kain in the Legacy of Kain series--and Michael Bell, who voiced Raziel in the same series, as well as Haer'Dalis and a host of other misc. characters in the BG series. Voice acting, gotta love it).

 

(off rant as well, mine's Cam Clarke, Kratos Aurion in Tales of Symphonia, Liquid Snake in Metal Gear..... wow and Drizzt in BG2!)

 

(Cam Clarke was Drizzt?! That's really cool. He also voiced Sky in Jade Empire, and I'm almost positive that he was Aran Linvail in BG2. After I played JE, I played BG2 again, and his "And incidentally? Good luck" made me do a double take.)

 

@Silverstar - gotcha!

Yup. Even got a bikini wax for the occasion, but they kept the picture above the waist. All that pain for nuthin'

 

No, Cam Clarke is the braying bandit ("So I kicked him in the head until he was dead!") and all of BG1's default male voices ("Time for a little of the rough and tumble").

Drizzt is played by Jeff Bennett, who was also the voice of Xan.

 

Hehe the other night me and my friends were a litttttttle tipsy and started watching some kids show on tv Jimmy Neutron I think Anyway, one of the villians had the same voice as Kalah from BGII. I was just like WOW

 

I think it's kind of funny that Billy West (Lehtinan and others), Tress MacNeille (Edwina and others) and Maurice LaMarche (Yoshimo, Renal Bloodscalp and others) all did voices for BgII, and then ended up starring together in Futurama as well (I love that series, I hear they're planning to make some new episodes).

 

Drizzt has different voice actors. In BG it's Bennet, BG2 Clarke

 

Splunge, you really fooled me for a moment there...for a moment.

I think all voice actors have done a good job in SoA part of the game. Especially Jon's and Bodhi's are masterfully done.

Those in ToB are not that masterfully done, I think. That is my personal impression, however.

 

Yup, great voice acting, have to agree with that ToB part also, atleast for the french version of the game is... 'orrible!

 

For my part, I really like Melissan, Gromnir and Solar in ToB.
