Telltale Games

What voice actors have there been in the series and have you ever considered using Bill Farmer as Sam and Nick Jameson as Max?

tabacco · 09/20/2007, 08:20 am

I think we're quite happy with David Nowlin as Sam and William Kasten as Max right now

You MUST be happy with them, I think they did a great job!

Haggis · 09/20/2007, 09:36 am

I'm quite happy with them too!

After playing through Season One, I went back and played a bit of HTR and now those original voices sound really off! It was actually kinda weird. I had always thought those original voices were perfect, and although the new guys were good, it just wasn't the same. But now it seems my mind has played a switch-a-roo on me! I guess having played though six episodes, watching all the shorts, and listening to the blooper reel (And I guess there are all those hours of listening to the lines while working on the games) those voices are now burned into my head and the HTR voices just sound wrong. Any one else have this experience?

Since I'd never played Hit the Road before, when I first played it I thought Sam's voice was really good, but I don't really prefer either - they're both great.

I think the ones who do Sam and Max currently are great, but I agree with you on those two. What happened to the Brooklyn accents? I always feel like something is slightly missing without the accents. I mean...Sam and Max are from New York.

I totally agree...although there is still a bit of charm in the brooklyn accents...but I think the current voice actors are great and should stay! What Im really impressed with is how close they actually are though...I mean, aside from the accents the voices are pretty close...

Bill Farmer (Sam)

The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police (TV Series)
Harvey Atkin (Sam)
Robert Tinkler (Max)

Sam & Max: Season One
David Nowlin (Sam)
Andrew Chaikin (Max in Episode 1)
William Kasten (Max in all subsequent episodes)

Just because I was bored

None of them sound "wrong" to me.

Edit: Wait, how did this get bumped up? It was on the top of the page before I posted, I swear...

Maratanos · 11/07/2007, 05:08 pm

I dunno, but the "Where are we going, Sam?" that William Kasten says just sounds really.... "off" to me.

I think it's because it's the most noticably different from episode 1.

daltysmilth · 05/07/2008, 02:09 pm

Any chance you could get Bill Farmer, Nick Jameson, Harvey Atkin, or Robert Tinkler (who ironically and unfortunately has a last name that would probably give Max a case of the giggles) to do some guest voices in future seasons? I know you got Terrence McGovern for Ice Station Santa and What's New Beelzebub, but any chance of getting some more old Lucasarts regulars in future Sam & Max installments? Like Denny Delk, for instance, or Dominic Armato?

Harley Quinn · 05/07/2008, 02:35 pm

Any vids of the actors doing the voices?

LuigiHann · 05/07/2008, 03:34 pm

There's a clip in one of the extras on the Season 1 DVD featuring Nowlin in the recording booth recording one of Sam's lines, something about encyclopedias. It's interesting to see.

Harley Quinn · 05/07/2008, 11:49 pm

Awesome, I must remember to rewatch that. Is the guy who plays Max short? I think cos Max is, I imagine the actor to be!

Here it is

splash1 · 05/08/2008, 01:42 am

William Kasten & David Nowlen are too me the best voices for Sam & Max ever...
i think some of Andrew Chaikin's lines sounded a bit better then Kasten's, after Telltale changed some of lines in the office and the rest of the world i got used to Kasten but still thought he was better

wisp · 05/09/2008, 03:41 am

there are forbidden sam & max games? cool...what are they called?

Avel · 05/09/2008, 03:53 am

Somebody found a torrent apparently.

wefeelgroove · 05/09/2008, 05:48 am

I think Waitohooru's just being a nut again.

But yes! David Nowlin and William Kasten are awesome!
