Telltale Games

I reckon TTG should cast relative unknowns for their voices. It's great us fans being able to go "I want Hugh Laurie, and Johnnie Depp... and Brian Blessed... OOOH and Patrick Stewart!" etc. (Though, granted, we're not actually talking about such big names), but apart from a warm fuzzy feeling from hearing lines being read by guys we know/like, it serves very little purpose for a pretty big total hike in the budget. There are some extremely good voice-actors i've met in the UK who remain relatively un-tapped, and i'd be surprised if it isn't the case in the U.S.

I just want some Irish guy with dreadlocks and a purple suit, playing the piano in a basement bar (pub) voiced by Duke Special

I'm not sure if I got this right, but Rob Paulsen might have lend his voice in SMI:SE. Is this true?

I would personally pay money out of my own pocket if we could get Patrick Stewart.

Patrick Stewart rocks. In everything he does. Because he's awesome like that.

My housemate is working on the same thing as Patrick Stewart this summer. Doubt he'd get to see him much though

Some how I doubt Tom Baker would do it. However he did play a cool Captain in Black Adder. "You have a Woman's hands. You have a Woman's purse."

Not sure but since he's doing voice acting, shouldn't be hard for him to get in.

He could play a red coat who under the orders of the queen, to commondere an island under british law for a base of operations (nothing like Casaba)

TBH, gief Simon Templeman.

He has like... the best voice literally EVAR. And he can make anything sound epic

Especially if it involves a heart of darkness...
