teft ( @teft@startrek.website ) English18•7 months agoChris Judge from Stargate did the same. That dude is in a lot of video games.

Alex, just zis guy, you know? ( @alexmorse@mastodon.social ) 7•7 months ago
Hairyblue ( @Hairyblue@kbin.social ) 17•7 months agoKate Mulgrew was a very distinctive voice. I heard it right away in Dragon Age Origin.
Patrick Stewart also has a great voice in Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
The first person from Trek I remember hearing in a game was Leonard Nimoy in Civilization.
Basilisk ( @Basilisk@mtgzone.com ) English3•7 months agoTim Russ also showed up in Dragon Age: Origins, like it was a mini Voyager reunion.
Westturrn ( @Westturrn@yiffit.net ) English3•7 months agoLeonard Ninoy was also the original voice of Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts.
ArugulaZ ( @ArugulaZ@kbin.social ) 2•7 months ago“Your Seamen have all died.” What are you, my urologist?
Julian ( @julianh@lemm.ee ) English8•7 months agoEnsign Ro and old Jake are both in Half-Life 2, those voices are ingrained in my memory so I instantly recognized them when i watched the show.
richieadler ( @richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one ) English1•7 months agoI’ll never forget the Powers That Be who passed on the Global Frequency pilot. Michelle Forbes was glorious as Miranda Zero.
ArugulaZ ( @ArugulaZ@kbin.social ) 6•7 months agoIt’s especially great when they do something that’s completely off the walls crazy. Michael Dorn played a screaming dwarf in the Billy and Mandy episode “Here There Be Dwarves,” who went mad after centuries of mushroom farming and exacted his revenge by invading the Keebler elves’ hollow tree. Then R. Lee Ermey pops up to censor the carnage and the dwarves and elves compromise by making mushroom cookies, and Billy does karaoke. That show was so delightfully warped and random sometimes.
Cylusthevirus ( @Cylusthevirus@kbin.social ) 2•7 months agoDorn as an alarmingly competent Weasel was pretty nuts.
JWBananas ( @JWBananas@startrek.website ) English2•7 months ago…I didn’t believe you. I had to look it up to confirm it.
Damn. Never even noticed.
SendMeYourTatas ( @SendMeYourTatas@kbin.social ) 5•7 months agoJohn De Lancie (Q) has done a lot of voice work, and acting for sure. My child was besides themselves when they found out he voiced Discord in MLP
beefcat ( @beefcat@beehaw.org ) English1•7 months agoHis introduction to Breaking Bad was the moment it went from a pretty good cable drama to some of the best television ever made.
stargazingpenguin ( @stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip ) English5•7 months agoI definitely remember recognizing Frakes, Dorn, and de Lancie while playing through the War of the Chosen expansion for XCOM2. Also René Auberjonois on a few of the Uncharted games as well.
RotaryKeyboard ( @RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.sdf.org ) English3•7 months agoDon’t forget Marina Sirtis and Denise Crosby in XCom 2! It was quite the TNG reunion.
stargazingpenguin ( @stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip ) English1•7 months agoYes, it certainly was! For some reason I didn’t recognize their voices. It wasn’t until I looked up the voice cast list to check the three that I mentioned that I found they were on it too!
🇰 🔵 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 ℹ️ ( @Kolanaki@yiffit.net ) English4•7 months agoTim Russ and Robert Picardo are in Fallout 4.
Picardo does a fine job as the Institute scientist who is in charge of synth production; seemed very much like the EMH’s role and he seemed to play it that way.
Russ, though… He’s a Brotherhood of Steel guy on the Prydwyn and just seems like a more stern version of Tuvok. Not because the role called for it, but because he was just reading lines without any passion behind them. Or wasn’t given proper direction (which given some things other VAs who worked on that have said is probably closer to the truth).
Patrick Stewart has also lent his voice to a Bethesda game as Uriel Septim in Oblivion.
Admin Shimmerman is in Starfield and I think it’s great because his character there is a billionaire corpo dude which reminds me Quark.
Oh and I can’t forget that William Shatner not only gave his voice to, he also literally wrote TekWars.
BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) English1•7 months agoDon’t forget Cheers actors who became Star Trek actors.
