Title: Bosch = Red Forman
Post by: joek on January 30, 2002, 08:51:00 am

I just noticed that on imdb (//"http://www.imdb.com/") they also list videogames (VG). Seeing that I looked up Freespace 2 (//"http://us.imdb.com/Title?0289708"). Wondering who played Bosch, I found out that it's none other than Red Forman (//"http://us.imdb.com/Name?Smith,+Kurtwood") from That '70s Show (//"http://us.imdb.com/Title?0165598").

Joe.

Of course, none of this is news to anyone who ever bothered looking at page 65 of the Freespace 2 manual.

What I want to know is: Why is the voice acting in FS top-notch, but the voice acting in RF bottom-of-the-barrel?

less money?
I don't care, french dubbing is good  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) it's so rare it has to be mentionned, the hero has the same voice than Rico in starship troopers  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) )

My manual only has the cast list, not the roles.

And RF probably had the voice acting budget kept low by THQ - make more money and all that, y' know?
