Rick Ellis = The man
in order to avoid being redundant, heres a link to my post in the "valve info thread"

and HERE is the list

Robert Guillaume - Dr. Eli Vance
Robert Culp - Dr. Wallace Breen
Lou Gossett, Jr. - Vortigaunt
Michelle Forbes - Dr. Judith Mossman
Merle Dandridge - Alyx Vance
Mike Shapiro - Barney Calhoun
Harry S. Robins - Dr. Isaac Kleiner
Jim French - Father Grigori
John Patrick Lowrie - Citizens/Misc. characters

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Nice one Mr . Redundant


Most interesting...

 

[moppe]

Damn, I want to see the 'G-man'

 

[Lobster]

I KNEW MOSSMAN SOUNDED FAMILIAR, 24 Season 2 alert.

 

[FoB_Ed]

the guy who's the voice of Dr. Breen seems to be in a lot of old movies, I ran a search on google and I got a bunch of movies, but none I've ever heard of.


the voice of Eli Vance, Robert Guillaume, was in the movie The Big Fish. He was the doctor.

also, Merle Dandridge, who's the voice of Alyx, was in Jesus Christ Superstar :dozey:

 

[dura]

I wasn't expecting the Vortigaunt's voice to be from that guy.

 

[SLH]

Interesting, i recognised a few of the voices, nice to know who they are.

 

[PvtRyan]

Haha I really wonder how the Vortigaunt sounds

The guy who does Kleiner did Barney in HL: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654516/

But the guy who does Barney now also voiced in HL: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0788587/

And one big question remains: who does the G-Man

Well done, not so redundant after all

 

[FoB_Ed]

the girl who voices Alyx kind of looks like her in real life

 

[DimitriPopov]

Thank god they didnt reveal the Gmans voice actor , mystery is king.

 

[Dougy]

Damn Alyx's voice woman is Fine.

id hit it.

 

[Lobster]

imdb may be wrong, it was added by a user, there would be no point in taking 2 voice actors from the first game and switching role's in the sequal.

btw that first link doesnt work for me, but this one does.

Seems that kleiner and barny are the same voice overs as HL1

 

[CrazyHarij]

Mr Redundant, your rock!

Haha Robert Guillaume was that monkey in the Lion King and lots of other famous movies.. Check IMDB!

 

[Lobster]

Mary Kae Irvin (misc female Citizens etc) voiced the AI and tram ride in Gunman Chronicles

 

[CrazyHarij]

Nice trailer for HL2 on Merle's website

But they stole some music from Outcast! GAH!

Yeah I read that too, haha!

 

[Razak]

funny how all the actors look the same ingame.

 

[nw909]

Mr Redundant, your rock!

Oh man, I can totally hear that in his voice, awesome.

So I guess that Mary Kae Irvin did that voice for the chick in the trailer who says "what are we going to do?"

awesome thread.

 

[Triggerhappy41]

nice. none of the links work for robert guillaume tho.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

I still think Father Grigori sounds so damn familiar.. but I cant find any reference to Jim French ... or at least any reason why I recognize him.


as for Robert, they work for me... try this one?

if that still doesnt work

edit: JIM FRENCH? http://www.harrynile.com/images/jim_french_smile_sharp.jpg

 

[Lobster]

nice. none of the links work for robert guillaume tho.

You'll need to type the link in manually.

 

[Champ]

Nice Redundant... I love checking the voice actors in games.
Checked Merles homepage? It says she'll star in an upcomming playstation 2 game, namely Half-Life 2... Eeew, that's just plain rude...

 

[Mr. Redundant]

it seems that valve plucked Jim French (apparently primarily a writer) and JOHN PATRICK LOWRIE from the same place.
http://www.jimfrenchproductions.com/actors.php
http://www.jimfrenchproductions.com/jimfrench.php

John Patrick Lowrie does the voice of Sherlock Holmes in this clip:

[clarky003]

thats one hairy chest Mike Shapiro!, umm is it me, but do you think valve have put some of their facial trates into the charaters? that woman who does Alyx's voice has a resemblance in her face , kinda

 

[Lobster]

lol Dr Breen did guest appearances on the Gargoyles cartoon series, lmao

I find the voice actors resemblence of there game charecters quite funny!

 

[Lucifer Crass]

On a side note I find it fun to play the xen area of Hl1 while listening to MAjor Tom By Peter Schilling

 

[Aphal]

umm is it me, but do you think valve have put some of their facial trates into the charaters? that woman who does Alyx's voice has a resemblance in her face , kinda

I noticed that on Merle Dandrige's site bio her mother was asian and father was black, and in HL2 Alyx's father obviously is black and Alyx does have a bit of an asian look in a lot of the footage and art, it seems like VALVe made the voice actors match up in strange ways

 

[Lobster]

hahahahhaahahaha, major tom, omg, zero g man.

Its great to see valve bringing in decent actors for the voices, after Pandora Tommorow anything is an improvement, but HL2's voice acting seems top notch.

yeah I Thought the same thing a while back based on the picture in the lab

btw nice eye, and deduction

 

[trantjd]

Right down to Barney's hairy chest!

oops! I shouldn't have mentioned that scene...stuff from the beta isn't allowed... :O



EDIT: Just for clarification...I haven't played the stolen game and am talking out my ass...

 

[Metatron]

Merle Dandridge (aka Alyx Vance) bio says 'Playstation 2's Halflife 2' :flame:
http://www.merledandridge.com/index118.html

I mean come one! Your doing THE voice in HL2 and don't even mention Valve or that it's a PC game damnit.

 

[Baal]

I KNEW MOSSMAN SOUNDED FAMILIAR, 24 Season 2 alert.

Explain?

I'm not sure who you mean here.....

who's mossman?

 

[clarky003]

the woman in the lift in the e3 2004 vid is mossman,, as for 24 season 2 alert...? wtf? lol

 

[FoB_Ed]

I mean come one! Your doing THE voice in HL2 and don't even mention Valve or that it's a PC game damnit.

Maybe she just isn't as interested in video games as much as we are, and doesn't care whether it's on the SNES, PS2, PC, or whatever



as for that 24 season 2 alert. He probably means the show "24" and that actress is in season 2.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

the woman in the lift in the e3 2004 vid is mossman,, as for 24 season 2 alert...? wtf? lol

star trek. she played a character

 

[Lobster]

star trek. she played a character

Yes , and to the people shouting wtf, she was in 24 season 2 as the presidents aide, she died towards the end falling down a stairwell, but thats progress for you.

 

[Bling]

omg, alyx is fine in real life as well
