Game character voices/voice overs that sound familiar...
Discussion
Playing Gears of War 2 at the mo (yeah, I'm behind 
), and just had Cole Train turn up - unmistakably the voice of Terry Tate, Office Linebacker.
But what shocked me when I hit IMDB to confirm that, was that Fenix is voiced by the same guy as Bender in Futurama.
(NB - I saw Terry Tate after I played GOW 1 a couple of years ago, so never made the connection when playing it)
Any other "whoa, that's whatsis/er/face" moments when playing games?

Terry tate, what a legend 
Infact, I think I'm long overdue watching those vids on youtube yet again.
Grand theft series is packed with cameos that although obvious now I never get at the time! Penny never really dropped until I was weeks into vice city that it was actually ray liotta voicing tommy vercetti, I know, I'm a mong
Never knew it was the guy who voiced bender in gears though, instantly recognised the terry tate voice though, shame none of the people I play / played with knew who it was

I did not know either the Terry Tate one or the bender - felix one. I did however recognise Ray Liotta's vioce within seconds for some reason.
I was suprised when I found out it was Kiefer Sutherland shouting grenade etc at me in CoD WaW though.
P.S. As for the office linebacker mini series, I think it should replace the s
tty film pisstake clips during the ad breakes on comedy central. Rain duck....fking Rain Duck, does my bloody head in lol

Same with Red Faction: Guerilla, one of the leaders on there sounded very familiar until I twigged he voiced a similar character in Crackdown.

James Earl Jones (Darth Vader) voice of General James Solomon on Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun.

Sean Bean plays the prince's voice in Oblivion too. Given that both are Yorkshireman, as am I, that could have made a whooooole new Pythonesque intro sequence.
There is a kids TV series on the BBC called Trapped (hey, this and Raven are infinitely better than another Antiques show!) in which there is a recurring character in the form of the caretaker. The bloke that plays him does the voice for the compare the meerkats.com advert.

That's him.
