Let's see, with the help of IMDB, I find two more interesting tidbits.

Andrea Bowen, the voice of young April and the young Alatien in TLJ, is now Teri Hatcher's daughter in Desperate Housewives. Interesting.

Tony Plana, who did the voice of Manny Calavera, seems to do mostly action flicks otherwise, playing generic hispanic gangsters or cops. He was "El Fuego" in Half Past Dead with Steven Seagal. Oy....

One of the best reasons to play Creature Crunch is for the voices by Martin Short and Eugene Levy. Most of the voices in the Gabriel Knight games are moderatly well-known actors but I can't pull them out of my head. Other games have actors starring in them too, like Christopher Lloyd in Toonstruck.

I remember, that the german voice of Manny Calavera was done by the same guy who also did the german voice of Alf (I would not have noticed it myself. I had to look it up. He did a great job on both of them)

Yeah I've seen that Seagal movie, oh man it was weird to see Plana and hear him talking with his Manny voice to Seagal.

This is an Adventure Game? Where Can I get this? As a canadian comedy fan, I cannot miss this game, now if only someone could do a game based on the mackenzie brothers ( CRTC said their wasn't enough Canadian content in the show to be aired, so they combined as many negative sterotypes as they could into one segment, eh )

Hey Skipper, see my earlier post--I put her down too--I really like her. Her name is Chiara, and her mom is Catherine Deneuve, which is a pretty good pedigree. Was she in Broken Sword? There's not a BS4 yet, we would all DIE from happiness (okay not everybody, but I would be happy) if there were . . . stay tuned! I had the impression Nico was an American pretending to have a French accent, but maybe not, and maybe you're talking about a different character anyway (the blonde woman, what's her name, from BS3?)

Yes, apparently the lady who voiced Nico in BS3 was someone working with the game producers (a PA or something- my memory isn't what it once was) who persuaded them to let her audition for the role.

The blonde woman was Petra, by the way.

<run into wall head first in attempt to get memory working again>

Petra, of course, how could I have forgotten?? What a hilarious story about the PA. Your memory is obviously doing better than mine!

Probably the most famous voice right now is Steven Blum. He's everywhere...commercials, anime(he's the English version of Spike Spiegal in Cowboy Bebop), and in a lot of games. Heck, he's the voice of Cartoon Network's Toonami. I can't remember the last voice actor who was this prolific....I hear him everyday.

He has over 150 entries on IMDB and this doesn't include the dozens of commercials he's done:

Citing some unknown childrens shows but not mentioning the games he's in isn't very helpful, perhpas you could add which games. Was Donald Sutherland in KGB? does anyone know?

Oh! How could I forget this. The german voice of Max (from Sam and Max, of course) is done by the same voice actor who also does the german voice of Bart Simpson!

He was only in the fmv cutscenes, I presume?

I only had the 3,5" disc version a long time ago.
