Half-Life 2 Voice Actors Revealed

Thanks to 1UP for its story discussing the full voice-acting cast list for hideously long-awaited FPS Half-Life 2. It's noted: "Only two of the original game's actors will be returning; Mike Shapiro as both the ominous G-Man and security guard Barney Calhoun, and Harry S. Robins as Dr. Isaac Kleiner. Naturally, returning protagonist Gordon Freeman will remain voiceless", before it's revealed: "The voice for Dr. Eli Vance will be supplied by Robert Guillaume, otherwise known as the unforgettable Detective Catfish in the Fish Police TV series. Vance's assistant, Dr. Judith Mossman, will be voiced by Michelle Forbes, known for her roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Homicide, and Guiding Light. Oscar winner Lou Gossett, Jr. will voice each and every one of the Vortigaunt alien slaves (his second alien role, after the cult sci-fi classic Enemy Mine)."

I had heard they were going to hire Troy McClure to play Freeman. You might remember him from such films as "The Greatest Story Ever Hula-ed" and "They Came to Burgle Carnegie Hall".

You do realize that it's quite possible for a bad voice actor to be a good stage/screen actor and vice versa, right? There's a lot more to screen acting than vocal inflection.

They can't all be Shatner.
