Actors I failed to notice in CMI

[tabacco]

Wow... I missed a bunch of interesting names in CMI:

a) Kenny Falmouth is Gary Coleman (You know him)
b) Minnie Stronie Goodsoup is MAry-Kay Bergman (she was the voice of every woman on South Park until she died a few of years back)
c) Cutthroat Bill was Cornfed Pig on Duckman

(and I spotted this one, but I'm listing it anyway)
d) Haggis McMutton was Scrooge McDuck.

Woah, I never noticed any of those... good find :)

I knew b) and actually about a 1 1/2 years ago I found out about d) when I watched Ducktales pilot with the original english voices. (It was dubbed when it was originally aired in Finland)

[MDMaster]

Yeah, I spotted Scrooge also, and sincerely I didn't like his voice. To me, a personal feeling of course, it had a kind of 'sad' ring in his voice, like he was feeling nostalgic of something. Anyway it didn't fit the character at all; I've been playing the game twice but always had the same feeling when hearing McMutton's voice.

[ConcreteRancor]

I knew about Gary Coleman, but the others are news to me. I'm particularly ashamed that I didn't notice Mary Kay Bergman, since I'm such a huge South Park fan.

(Interesting note: If you watch the third season of South Park, you can pinpoint the time that Bergman committed suicide. You'll see four or five consecutive episodes that don't have any of the women in them at all. Of course, you could just watch the commentary on the third season DVD, which tells you that straight out.)

[Mattsius]

I also noticed Scrooge (how can you miss that voice), but the others were new to me.

Mary-Kay Bergman (http://www.allowe.com/Larry/mkbergman.htm) also made the voices to some of the girls in LSL6 and 7.

I guess everyone knows this one, but Earl Boen (excellent as LeChuck) was Dr Silberman in the Terminator films. Why doesn't this guy get more work? he's brilliant!

[log p]

no gary busey, no dice

[ConcreteRancor]

Now that's interesting... Neil Ross, the guy who was the voice of Wally, is also the voice of Sarge in Doom 3. Now I want Doom 3 just so I can be led through the Martian Base by Wally.

I love going through voice actors' resumes on IMDB, and saying "They did THAT?" My personal favorite is that Jim Cummings, the captain of the guard in Shrek, also did the voice of Donatello in the original TMNT series.

Edit: And as long as we're on the subject of Ducktales, it should be noted that the guy who did Blondebeard and Cruff is the same guy who was the voice of Launchpad McQuack.

There is a radio drama titled "Adventures in Odyssey" that Earl Boen works on. It takes place in a small town called "Odyssey" where interesting and exciting things happen, and Earl Boen played the villain of the town for years as the character Dr. Regis Blackgaard (until he was killed off). He actually uses roughly the same voice for Blackgaard as he used for LeChuck, though he used it first with Blackgaard. Come to think of it, Earl Boen was also in Soldier of Fortune and was the god "Nemesis" in Black and White using very similar voices as well.

He also plays Regis' twin brother Edwin on the radio drama and many other 'character voices'. The show also has many other voice actors such as Dave Madden (Rebuen Kincaid), Alan Young (Scrooge McDuck), Townsend Coleman (The Tick), Jess Harnell, (Wacko Warner), Corey Burton (various Disney) and countless others who are well known in the voice over industry (and video games as a result). I believe both Dave Madden was also in CMI with Alan Young and Earl Boen.

And for those curious about this radio drama that they're all a part of (I mean, who listens to the radio these days??), check out http://www.aiosf.com for more info ;)

Another fine landing, huh Mister McD? :D

He doesn't lead you anywhere and trust me, he sounds nothing like Wally ;)

"This mean it's time to get dangerous, DW?"

Jim Cummings is a voice-legend, especially as he was Pete in A Goofy Movie, one of my favourite films, opposite Bill Farmer as Goofy.

Bill Farmer played Sam (in the Sam and Max LucasArts games) as well as Goofy - the two coolest cartoon dogs ever.

That always bugged me, that Goofy was a dog. What makes him, as a dog, so special that he can talk and Pluto cannot? Especially considering that for an average canine, Pluto is quite intelligent, whereas the whole point of Goofy is that he's somewhat dim.

Yeah, talking animals with animal pets. How odd indeed. Pluto should've been a human.

Maybe Walt Disney is satirising humanity?

There are no humans in that world ;)

I don't think Pluto is that bright. He is often seen chasing his own tail and such. He has typical dog behavior while Goofy, although slightly dumb, has human behavior.

[Skinkie]

Goofy is one rung up the evolutionary ladder.

[log p]

goofy has a bigger vocabulary than my cousin freddie

[ConcreteRancor]

Goofy is one rung up the evolutionary ladder.
That's an interesting take. So if Goofy owned a pet dog, that would be similar, evolution-wise, to a human owning a pet monkey. The idea has merit.

What i find funny is how Mark Hamill provided voice for many characters in VGs, yet never one for Luke Skywalker in games like Jedi Knight2 and Jedi Academy.

What's even funnier, Billy Dee Williams DID provide a voice for Lando Calrissan in JK2, yet he sounded (IMHO) nothing like him :)

Hamill did something like 30,000 voices for Full Throttle, (I would have never guessed that he was Ripburger,) but he's never actually played Luke Skywalker again. Maybe this is because Hamill is pretty easy to get to do any number of voices, but as soon as you ask him to do the one thing he's really remembered for the price skyrockets.

It's not too much of an issue, though, because I thought whoever played Luke in Jedi Outcast did a pretty damn fine job of sounding like Mark Hamill.

As far as our boy Billy D. goes, you have to take time into account. Voices change. And since 6 or 7 years have passed between the events of Return of the Jedi and Jedi Outcast, I'm willing to suspend that disbelief. (Even though I DID think he sounded just find.)

I find it quite amazing that Mark as never been Luke in the games, not even once. And I was very disappointed in B.D. Williams's voice in Outcast, he truly did not sound anything like Lando anymore.

Nah, he was only credited for two voices, Ripburger and the truck driver.

Which were both awesome voices.
He is my favourite voice actor in the business, so versatile.

Edit: I found ONE video game, according to IMDB, where Hamill actually played Luke. The 1983 Star Wars video game had speech in it, although considering that Alec Guinness and James Earl Jones are ALSO credited for the video game, I'm guessing they just used sound clips from the movies.

Hehe, that must be the vector graphics game, it had sound samples of the actors lines from the movies.
I remember that our local amusement park had one of those games.
And I also had a port of one of those vector games on Amiga...
