Valve Reveals Half-Life 2 Voice Cast
By Alex Fraioli

Valve Software's Managing Director Gabe Newell recently revealed the
list of actors and actresses who will be contributing their voices to
the developer's long awaited sequel to 1998's wildly popular FPS Half
Life. 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.
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).

Isn't Robert Culp that guy they get to do lightweight roles in TV detective
shows when Robert Wagner isn't available?

Sorry, I was thinking of Robert Urich. Too many Roberts in Hollywood.

Great stuff Anders. I was going to ask who "Michelle Forbes" was but
then I googled it and wished I hadn't :)

shame ;o)
