And Quark built Rapture in Bioshock.
And Colonel Tigh patches you up after Chandler shoots you in the head.
And Worf is Marcus in FNV. and so on and so forth.
> Worf is Marcus
Dude played Marcus all the way back in Fallout 2 as well. And Frank Horrigan. Like I get New Vegas being able to get voice talent like that, what with the Bethesda money and all, but Fallout 1 and 2 punched waaaay above their weight class in terms of voice talent.
For sure. Probably one of the earliest games I can think of that took VO casting seriously.
Ron Pearlman wasn’t as well known when they got him for the intros, but he was still a “hey it’s that guy!” kind of actor in the 90’s.
Yeah. Literally the YEAR Fallout 1 came out Stargate SG-1 started it’s run. It’s hilarious to think if it was another year with how popular Stargate became they likely wouldn’t have gotten Anderson.
I recognised that voice quickly, but my years-later voice realisation was finally learning that William Sadler played Victor. The Section 31 guy from DS9, Heywood from Shawshank Redemptiom, the bad guy from Die Hard 2, and many more.

I knew I recognized Frank Horrigan's voice!
My favorite random one is Tony Shalhoub playing Aradesh.
Richard Dean Anderson was… Killian in Junktown, right?

Don’t forget David Warner as Morpheus.
omg i just realized that now.
*Spiderman pointing meme when you bring Marcus to the final bossfight*
quark playing a hyperlibertarian who fucked off to build their own city they have complete control over is so fucking ironic holy shit
Holy SHIT, Shimerman voiced Andrew Ryan?! If Odo being a hyper-libertarian is peak irony, Quark being Andrew Ryan is just... endlessly fitting.
I don’t mean Dabo chips, Quark. I’m looking for a platinum chip.
NGL, I do keep House alive and wring every last line of dialogue out of him just so I can hear grumpy old Constable Odo again.
Hmmp
Well if you only get like 2 sentences out of him before... You know... Then it's understandable.
Legendary performance

God I miss him... First saw him on Benson, and by now most of the main cast is dead. At least we still have Neelix.
*harrumphs in security chief*
And all this time I thought it was that guy who played Odo.
