Admiral Petrarch is in ID4
I was watching Independence Day tonight and I noticed that the general's voice sounded awfully familiar. Then I realized that that gravelly voice could only belong to one person... Admiral Petrarch!

At least, I think it is. They sound awfully alike.

I heard, "Mr. President, the large ship has broken off into multiple pieces, each over 15 miles across."

And I realized, "There are now over 80 Sathanas Juggernauts in the Capella system."
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Indeed, I recognized the trademark voice almost immediately when I first played the FS2 main campaign.  Robert Loggia be the actor's name.

Many names, but always me.

That's what made him such a great choice for Petrach. He sounds exactly like what you'd expect an admiral to sound like.

They certainly look mostly identical. Surely Hackman was the dude in Enemy Lines you're thinking of?




Which is which? :)

Bosch is atleast Ronny Cox, the dude from Total Recall. The main bad guy, who owned everything. He was also in Robocop who designed ED-209. PLUS the bad guy in Robocop, the criminal guy, was in FS2 as well. But I think as some Vasudan. But was Stephen Baldwin only in the beggining of FS2? Or was HE snipes?
I have returned... Again...

Stephen Baldwin just did the intro. But are you telling me Michael Ironside was in the game? That the Robocop guy you're thinking about yes?

Baldwin only did the intro, as DG said.

The names i recognise off the cast list are;
Baldwin, Loggia, Cox & Kurtwood Smith

IIRC Snipes was a member of V staff, wasn't he?
