Mass Effect 2's Celebrity Voices
BioWare looks to have spent a pretty penny on voice work for the next installment of the Mass Effect saga. Seth Green and Keith David return, while the Normandy sports a sexy new voice - Battlestar Galacitca's Tricia Helfer. That's an upgrade, IMHO.
Also included in the noteworthy cast are House of Saddam Emmy Award winner Shohreh Aghdashloo, Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin from Chuck, Helfer's BSG alum Michael Hogan (yay) and Neo's loco girlfriend, Carrie-Anne Moss. The breakdown:
Esteemed actor Martin Sheen stars as the mysterious Illusive Man who commands Cerberus, a secretive paramilitary organization dedicated to protecting human interests in the galaxy. Yvonne Strahovski plays deadly Cerberus operative Miranda Lawson, who has been genetically engineered for superior mental and physical traits. Returning to the cast from the original Mass Effect is Seth Green as Joker and Keith David as Admiral David Anderson. And rounding out the vocal roster are Tricia Helfer as EDI, the voice of the new Normandy; Carrie-Ann Moss as Aria T'Loak, the crime lord who rules the planet Omega; Shohreh Aghdashloo as Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay; Michael Hogan as Captain Bailey; Adam Baldwin as Kal 'Reegar; and Michael Dorn as Gatatog Uvenk.
Is this fan service or what? Two cylons, the Matrix chick, a Klingon, more Seth Green, and the frakking President from The West Wing - if you've been sitting on the fence about Mass Effect 2, these names might help sway your decision. And for frak's sake, get down before your tear a hole in your britches.

AHHHHHHHHH AWESSSSOMMMMMMEEEEEE.
As a gay man I am very conflicted about how attracted I am to Tricia Helfer.
Sounds like you just dropped a notch or two on the Kinsey Scale, LaFon. lol :)
The whole time I was playing Mass Effect I was wishing that my character could have a relationship with Seth Green's character. In their small amount of dialogue together I felt like there was a real connection there that could have really worked if the developers weren't so keen to only include a lesbian subplot.
Yay for Martin Sheen!
But man! how much have they spend just on voice acting? I wouldn't like to guess.
