I would like to do the same thing,but unfortunately here those movies have been translated...

[Shade]

Heresy. Movies should be watched in their original language, with subtitles if need be, but never dubbed - I find it tends to completely ruin the experience. Only exception is cartoons for children too young to read. Well, ok, there's one more exception, and that's if it's done so poorly that it turns the movie into a comedy that has you rolling on the floor much of the time

In fact I've heard of very good translations, but... Mostly they are just too unprofessional, and the foreign voices just don't get into their characters enough. Imo, that's what makes translations bad, not just the fact that it's translated. (Goddamn X-Men... They call wolverine wolf in Hungarian! Blasphemy!)

I love watching Martial arts movies that have been dubbed, the actors continue moving their lips 5 secs after the voices finish

I have ID4. He plays a general on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and is basically the President's right hand man. He also plays a football coach in Necessary Roughness.  Plus, let's not forget he played Frank Lopez in Scarface.

	Robert Loggia is a pretty popular actor.  Here's a trailer for Scarface where they only have a couple of words from him: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2537954877679763375&q=robert+loggia At 1:55 into the trailer, you can hear him say "I am the boss."
	Here's Ronny Cox.  He's been in plenty of stuff... I just had a harder time trying to dig up some sample video on him.

Oohhh.Petrarch and Bosch!!!
They are popular actors,they're popular actors and wanted thousnds of dollars to act FS2.

Actually, that's highly unlikely, videogames were far from the Media sensation they are now, they were still regarded as 'toys' in 1999/2000, with games such as GTA being very much the exception rather than the rule. These jobs probably paid at around the same rate as voicing over an advert, which, whilst still a good wage, is not even close to the prices charged by well known voice actors these days.

[Blue Haired Maniac]

Speaking of Grand Theft Auto, Loggia did a voice in GTA III...Ray Machowski, a corrupt officer who is an insider for the Yakuza.

[Flipside]

Heh, I know one of the actors is trying to sue Take Two because of Hot Coffee, hope it's not him.

[Mobius]

I want Loggia to voice act Steady.

[Ulala]

I think the voice acting in FS2 is superb. Series dead/dying or not (and I feel it's not, I still play it after all), I wouldn't want the voice acting any other way. Knowing these actors were some of the main voices brings a smile to my face for some reason.. 

[Mobius]

How can we contact him? He would be a nice member of HLP.

[Bob-san]

why dont we simply mail a copy of freespace 2 to each of the voice actors? we can add 3.6.9 rc7 to it, and see how many will actually play the game...

itd be cool to get one of em to join the community.... they prolly not thought @ freespace2 in 5+ yrs...

[karajorma]

Send one to Robbin Williams while you're at it. At least we know he's a gamer

[Mobius]

Not members like us,but(urgh,how do you call them in English?!?).
Some "special" members.They won't mod,FRED etc they simply are here and we can talk with them...
There's an Italian site of Lord Of The Rings/Star Wars fans which has Christopher Lee as "special" member(actor in both sagas).
