Voices of the NPCs

I don't have it for everyone, but certain NPCs have "voices" that I hear their dialogue in when I read the text.

Montague Castanella sounds like Ian McKellen as Magneto.

Percy Winkler sounds like Wesley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (before he got cool in Angel).

Mercedes Sheldon sounds like Darla (also from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Skipper LaGrange sounds like Michaelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Turtles.

Gordon Bower is Oliver Hardy.

Kelly Nemmers is Mary Anne from Gilligan's Island.

Katie Hannon is some generic British girl ... maybe the oldest girl in the Narnia movies. (Or possibly a young Olivia Newton John.)


Doc Delilah is Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft without the British accent.

Synapse is Xander from Buffy.

Faultline is Dean Winchester.

What voice do you "hear" for your favorite NPCs?

That's easy...

Back Alley Brawler is (in my head) voiced by Bob Carter, who voices Katayama Gorobei in SAMURAI 7, and the SO Commander in KIDDY GRADE.

Lord Recluse is voiced by the late great Mike Kleinhenz, especially his performance as Lucifer in LADY DEATH.

Oh yeah, forgot one. Mender Silos is voiced by John Vickey, who I loved as Neroon in BABYLON 5.

Montague sounds a bit more hesitant than I'd picture with Ian's voice. I think I picked up on the bit that he's rebuilding his organization, and may feel a bit vulnerable. I can't yet pick out a name to his voice though.

Percy is that smart, wide-eyed kid. I very much hear Wesley Crusher.

BaBs is Laurence Fishburne.

Ms Liberty is Sarah Michelle Gellar with an attitude.

Dr. Science is Mr. Wizard, just a bit more humorous and energetic.

Citadel would be Keith David, of Gargoyles fame.

Actually, I see Angelina Jolie's British accent tied to the Lady Grey character, but that's probably because I think there's a certain facial resemblance.

Sky Raiders' arrogant, vain Capitan Castillo is so very much Antonio Bandera's Puss in Boots.

I picture Positron sounding like Dr. Cox.

And for those of you who don't? Go through his taskforce and read the dialogue in his voice. It'll change the experience.

For some reason, Statesman always sounds like Mayor West in my head.

Every time I run into him on a new character I can't help but think of him as Captain Not In The Face.

I mean, seriously, can't you just hear him frantically say that when he's about to get clobbered?

Of course!

Also, you are now hearing the Morgan Freeman as the Dark Watcher, manually.

Just doubled-back and re-read this. Yes, yes I could see John Vickey in the role. His Neroon was one of the great highlights of Babylon 5.

Now if only there was a hero for Jason Carter (aka "Marcus Cole") to voice.

Statesman, I always hear as Gilbert Gottfried.

A few off the top of my head:

David Spade as Willy Wheeler
John Noble as Peter Themari
Rade Serbedzija as Boris the Russian
Brad Garrett as Dreck
The Pyro as Terrence Dobbs
Jason Momoa as Gaussian

I hear BaBs as Ron Perlman, Synapse as Chris Tucker, Blue Steele is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Westin Phipps sounds like Stephen Colbert and for some reason I always hear Wiggy the Brit as Eddie Izzard.

Lady Grey comes across to me as Kate Blanchett

Fusionette was the dearly departed Anna Nicole Smith but I don't hear dead people so now she sounds like Pam Anderson.

Oh, and if somebody is getting Angelina Jolie's voice it has to be Silver Mantis...


The Revenants and Vengeance Imperium-Triumph, Champion & now flavoring Justice!

Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!

Shhh! Rangle is plotting.

For no reason I hear Mr. Bocor sounding like Fat Tony. As an alternative, Keith David has the chops.


Evil is a maze of deceit and the cheese it hides is never worth the running.

Unnecessary Solicitation: Newbie, if the next two words out of your mouth aren't 'See ya' then the third word will be 'Oh my god. My crotch. You've punched me in my crotch.

Sister Psyche - Milla Jovovich (using her regular Western accent, not Lelu. :P). I've always thought Milla's voice sounded way too old for her.

Borea - Amy Smart. Borea seems way too perky.

Levantera - Amy Smart with a huskier tone (they're twins).

I don't know how many of you are old enough, but I hear Mr. Bocor with the voice of that guy who was shilling for Jamaica in the old travel commercials.
