Telltale Games

*Irishmile* · 07/11/2010, 10:23 am

could probably pull off a passable Marty McFly impersonation...

I bet he could do it... I have heard his demo reel he has pretty good range.. If they can not get Micheal J Fox... I think Dominic should go for it.

Yep, Dominic would be fine.

His acting was incredible in MI2 and if he can stretch his voice that far in his demo, he can raise it a little bit for Marty McFly.

jp-30 · 07/11/2010, 12:17 pm

Yeah, lots of people have discussed his suitability.

Edit: Oh, that search above isn't saved.

The discussion on Dom is in these threads;

Now that I think about it... If they can't get Michael J Fox... Dom is clearly a great alternative for Marty... He could really nail it!

Secret Fawful · 07/12/2010, 02:39 am

Some people don't think so, and maybe he couldn't, but I will say that he can stretch his voice and do more than just Guybrush Threepwood.

*Vainamoinen* · 07/12/2010, 03:04 am

Yes, it's obviously the fault of the mods not making the "voices" thread a sticky.

Nonetheless, the Armato-as-Marty-paradigm has been discussed at length even on the second page of our voices thread. Please use it instead!

Teeth · 07/12/2010, 03:43 am

Yeah, I'd love to see him playing characters other than Guybrush.

And Matt Chapman, he's got AMAZING range, he should do stuff outside of Homestar Runner sometime.

CaptKevinKID · 07/12/2010, 06:16 am

Yes 100% Dominic would be perfect for Martys part that's if they can't get Fox to do it.

Trenchfoot · 07/12/2010, 06:32 am

I don't know if Dom would do it. He's kinda in a semi-retired mode. But who knows, after so many Guybrush recording and having a hell of a time in Telltale, maybe he'll do it.

Come on, Dom! Get out of your comfort zone!

Armakuni · 07/12/2010, 08:29 am

I have no doubt he could pull it off but the problem for me is - it would probably just seem silly as it would feel like Guybrush trying to act like McFly.

Dominic *is* Guybrush by now, at least to me

akaimizu · 07/12/2010, 02:57 pm

You know. I think he really could pull that off. He does have more voices than just Guybrush. Just that everybody knows he's Guybrush. Though I don't speak for him, judging by his latest interviews, he'd probably be happy to do it. You can tell he loves voice acting, and he'd give it his all.

splash1 · 07/12/2010, 06:15 pm

I think Dominic sounds a lot like Michael J. Fox's Marty Mcfly if he shifts his voice a little higher. He'd be perfect.

Guybrush and Dominic share a pretty similar voice, that's the thing; but listen to this (mp3). That's all Dominic.

JMC · 07/12/2010, 11:51 pm

I think it's a damn fine idea. It doesn't matter if he voices Guybrush either. Just look at Billy West. He has voiced many characters through out his career from Ren & Stimpy to Futurama and has made each one his own.

JedExodus · 07/13/2010, 03:02 am

Yeah def Dom. I couldn't see Mickey J jumping on board for a video game as it's probably a bit too small-time considering Back to The Future's 20-odd years old.

Dom however, would be a great fit

MonkeyMania · 07/14/2010, 11:45 pm

I object. It'd just sound like Guybrush Threepwood doing a MJF impression. Get a different actor.

*Irishmile* · 07/14/2010, 11:48 pm

you must not have heard his demo reel he has more talent than that

Joop · 07/15/2010, 12:57 am

Dom definitely has talent. I just think Michael J. Fox's voice is too specific, people would hear in an instance that it's not him.
If they'd get someone lik James Arnold Taylor though, who's known for his Michael J. Fox voice.... (That's an odd sentance...)
A heck, just get Michael, tell him that everyone who buys the game donates a dollar to the Michael J. Fox Foundation!

Set your fanboyism aside, there are other people out there who could pull off a better MJF impersonation.

While I agree with you...his statement was entirely true. I just got done listening to his demo tape...he's got a hell of a lot more talent than you're giving him credit for.
