Heres a thought.  Some of the voice actors who did the main FS2 charactors and some of the other lesser charactors seem to be a bit more about than one might think.

Just out of curiousity who could put any actor names to the charactors?

I do know that Robert Loggia did the voice for Admiral Petrarch.

[elorran]

Interesting...

*Hands Vadar a cookie*

[Ryx]

Personally, I think Bosch sounds more like Kurtwood Smith than Ronny Cox in the cutscenes.

[Kazashi]

I was under the impression that Kurtwood Smith was the voice behind Lt. Cdr. Cordova. Although my ears aren't exactly what you'd call fine tuned, so I could be wrong.

[Blue Lion]

No he was the Colossus cutscene....I think....

They forgot at least one... He was also Tom Hanks' boss, MacMillan, in Big:

edit: Wasn't Ronny Cox also in a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode as well?

edit2: There it is: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0092455 He was Edward Jellicho, captain of the USS Cairo (if memory serves, trekkies feel free to correct me on that point) in the episode "Chain of Command" (IMDb rules!)

edit3 ( ): That IMDb link is for TNG in general and being only a supporting actor he isn't actually credited. The role does however get credited in his filmography: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Cox,+Ronny

To revisit an old thread...

Has anyone noticed that Bosch sounds just like Leonard Nimoy?  Especially in Monologue 2.  I thought it *was* his voice, until I listened again and thought, nahh - it's close, but not exact.

(I finally got FreeSpace 2 last week from eBay!  Almost finished the main campaign - w00t!)

i knew it! (well sort of-i always thought they sounded extreemly similar. )

[Stunaep]

and letting us know that was worth bumping a thread as old as THIS???

[Blue Lion]

Would you rather they start new ones?

[Goober5000]

Hey, *I* bumped it, and I bumped it with a valid question: does anyone think Bosch's voice sound a little like Leonard Nimoy.  Don't jump on people. Why shouldn't we revisit old threads from time to time?

[Anaz]

You must stop bumping old threads so that I don't keep thinking that steak is back...

[Goober5000]

Huh?  Steak?

[Stunaep]

the founder of HLP, Setekh, also known as Steak, who is offline due to problems in RL.


Anyhow, IMHO Bosch's voice is much too soft to sound like Leonard Nimoy's.

[karajorma]

bumping old threads can ignite old arguements or confuse people. Nothing good can come of it.

[Knight Templar]

wow i remember when that thread started ... not that anyone cares
