Come to think, tho', that's another good role for Stephen Fry, too...

I agree.

I have also thought of what may be the best possible choice for Fighter;

Boris Johnson

BM: I'd say O'Malley from Red Vs Blue (without the random evil laughter since BM has a rather dry sense of humor).

Fighter: Caboose. Period.

Thief: Someone who can pull off a "Conman" type of thing (Phil Hartman as Lyle Lanley maybe).

RM: The Flash Series has him down pat.

I think The Rock should voice them all, except for King steve, who would be Adam West (family guy style) and Sarda who would be Arnold Shwarzennegertrscsxvcs

In terms of just voices, I vote Jeremy Irons for BM in the style he did for Scar in the Lion King. I can hear it now and it's oh so menacing!

For the love of god... explain HOW EXACTLY!?

Sorry, but all the voices in the flash series just pissed me off; they're so damn annoying. =P

I have a perfect, completely original voice for RM in my head. Unfortunatley,
I can't really voice it out loud, because my voice acting skills suck. This voice, would probably require some serious voice acting. Seth Mcfarlane level. Doesn't mean Seth would actually play the voice, though. >_>

EDIT: Alright, that first thing I just said would definitely depict my image of RM's voice. :P Oh yeah, and caboose is perfect for fighter.

EDIT: Hey TopHat, we're talking about comedy, not kiddie 'serious'. I was looking at 8bit bordering on at least American Dad/FG style approach to comedy with the innuendo, rather then kiddie bullshit, that was apparently expressed in the flash series.

Oh, these types of threads always draw me in.

Fighter: I agree with most of the sentiments here. Caboose-like. Ferrell would be excellent.

Black Mage: Very hard to cast, mainly because the type of voice and demeanor that would be needed normally doesn't make it into acting. Buscemi is one of those 'he'd work' choices, but I don't think he'd pull off the angry well enough. 'Why me?' is the main inflection I get from BM more often than not. Here's a fresh idea: Wallace Shawn. For those unfamiliar, he played Vizzini in 'The Princess Bride'. 'Inconcievable!'

Red Mage: Very difficult as well because of the uniqueness of the character's psyche. If Christopher Lloyd was younger, his type of performance from 'Back to the Future' would be perfect. Maybe an Andy Kaufman in his prime?

Thief: Ryan Reynolds seems rather fitting, though a Hugh Laurie is an intriguing and wonderful idea. I could see him being elf-like, and he certainly has condascension going for him.

White Mage: Scarlet Johanssen seems a little 'over-the-top' for White Mage. She should be hot, but not OMGWTFHOT. More like 'Girl-Next-Door-In-Your-Dreams' hot. Someone like...Jennifer Morrison, who plays Cameron on 'House'. She's pulled off angry and peaceful on that show already.

Black Belt: Someone mentioned 'Duff Man' and that's perfect. As for an actual actor...I'd say Patrick Warburton.

King Steve: Adam West. Write it down.

Evil Princess Sara: Should be bombshell-ish. I'm drawing a blank here.

Sarda: Someone mentioned Christopher Walken here, he could most certainly work.

Garland: Ben Stiller. Envision his character from Dodgeball. I think it's perfect.

Drizz'l: The Dark Warriors are too comicial for a guy like Vin Deisel. Hugh Jackman could work. Maybe even Viggo Mortensen.

Bikke: Geoffery Rush. Can't understand what he's saying, and Barbosa is a rather close character. Perfect.

Goth Kid who's name I can't remember: Who cares, really? We'll say Seth Green because he'd make a mockery of it and make me giggle.

Akbar: Phil Hartman should go here. His 'salesman' voice is perfect.

Thief: Mark Hamill of the SW movies.
Black Mage: Takeshi Kitano, because of the comedian-action versality.
Black Belt: Steven Seagal. I have no doubt.
Fighter: This one is difficult... Antonio Banderas?
Red Mage: Jim Carrey? Of couse not! Malcolm McDowell can take the challenge.
White Mage: Someone hitting Kitano with a hammer? Diane Keaton is a good actress but... I don't know.

hanzo66 · 12-22-2006, 07:52 PM

Personally I've always imagined Akbar with a really stupid Accent. Somewhat like Borat but only much more ridiculous to the point where people would go "What the hell kind of country did you come from?" or something similar.

Also if you want a pissed-off and angry sarcasm kind of thing for BM, Lewis Black seems to be like that constantly.

SolidSamurai · 12-23-2006, 02:50 AM

Hey, y'know Nale from Order of the Stick? I think Black Adder by what's his name (english guy that plays Mr. Bean) in Elizabethan times could tap that ass. :P

Totally off subject, but I don't care! Man!

Ya I'm bored.

Oh ya, and sarcasm was probably the word I was looking for with BM. :P
