BioWare has announced the large and star-studded cast for the upcoming Mass Effect 2. There are some big stars and sci-fi favorites here (I’m more excited about the latter). Today’s press release stated:
BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts, today revealed the voice actors performing in Mass Effect 2, the second act of the award-winning science fiction trilogy. The game features Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Martin Sheen (“The West Wing”, “Apocalypse Now”), 2009 Emmy Award-winner Shohreh Aghdashloo (“House of Saddam”), comedic actor Seth Green (“Austin Powers”), “Chuck” stars Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin, Keith David (“Crash”) and sci-fi favorites Michael Dorn (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”) Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”), Michael Hogan (“Battlestar Galactica”) and Carrie-Anne Moss (“The Matrix”).
I’m totally geeked out by the cast. The dude from Robot Chicken meets Worf from Star Trek meets Goliath from Gargoyles meets Trinity from The Matrix meets 6 from Battlestar Galactica. Awesome!!!
Is it sad that I'm more thrilled about Seth making a return than any of the other people?
I'm gifting season 1 of gargoyles to some friends for Christmas. Hopefully they like it lol
The first one did have a nice cast. Also I'm particularly fond of that picture… whoever that girl is
@Sandrock323 No way. Seth Green is awesome. He's my favorite little person in Hollywood.
Jesus! How much is that game going to cost to make? The voice talent alone has to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars… or not, I have no idea. But still; known actors = lots of money = more expensive game to produce.
@Mr. Padilla;
I love the inside banter between Seth McFarlane and Seth Green when Family Guy makes fun of Robot Chicken. Truly underpants-wetting TV!
@iceman
there was this one episode that stewie and brian were multiverse travelling and stumbled upon the robot chicken universe, that was friggin hilarious. but the disneyand japanese universe was the best.
this game is getting better and better. seth green is awesome, and friggin trinity is there! awesome!
No Lance Henrikson, huh? That's somewhat disappointing considering his role in the first one. But the rest of that cast looks amazing.
@Nightshade – he was an Admiral, and from the limited amount I know of the story set up, there has been quite the shake-up in the two years since we last left Commander Shepard. So it's a loss of a great voice, but no surprise that he isn't feeding you missions anymore… though they may be holding back on him for a surprise at some point.
@picture at top – Nude girl laying down. Is it me, or does the ass belong to a different person. There is either a fairly serious lighting problem there or that ass was photoshopped on to her top… now there's a conspiracy for you. Forget guesshermuff… this is findherass!
Wait… looking at that again… it may just be a magazine…
Nevermind… conspiracy averted… though if that website pops up I want a cut of the profits.

@Shockwave: Tricia Helfer. Six ;)
