Intro Movie Voice over

Hey

This musta have been the weirdest question over here but im really going to ask it.
Who is actually the person behind the voice when you watch the full intro of freelancer ? (the story about the sleeperships and the war etc) This voice is so familair to me and i really like that voice. A simular voice i heard with star trek and found the actor but when I played the movie its like the same. But that actor didnt showed up when i searched for it on the credits. SO if anyone knows please tell me

thanks (lol)

Check the credits, see if any of the names are recognizable. They're WAY at the end, so have fun watching about 10 minutes straight of credits.

The only name I found that might be it would be Christopher Lee. (The guy who plays Saruman in LOTR) He might be it, but since the credits don't include roles, there really is no sure way of knowing.

Only cast names I can find. Note that it is not at all complete:

Edison Trent (played by Ian Ziering)
Dr. Kendra Sinclair (played by Cree Summer)
Jun'ko "Juni" Zane (played by Jennifer Hale)
Richard Winston Tobias (played by John Rhys-Davies)
Lord Hakira (played by George Takei)
Claus Botzler (played by Kenneth Mars)
Dexter Horvis (played by Xander Berkeley)
Casper Orillion (played by Michael T. Weiss)
Ozu (played by Ryun Yu)
Dr. Roland Quintane (played by Charles Shaunessy)
Diedrich von Claussen (Maurice LaMarche)
Marcus Walker (played by Corey Burton)


The only familiar names would probably be George Takei (Mr. Sulu on Star Trek!) and John Rhys-Davies (a well known film actor). "Orillion" isn't really black, though "Dr. Sinclair" is.

p.s. I looked up Christopher Lee. He is credited in Freelancer as simply "voice". Apparently, he played no assigned part, so he could well be the opening voice. Lord, I remember Christopher Lee playing vampires when I was a wee bairn. He is 83 years old now and is in The Revenge of the SIth!

Just listened to the intro again. The voice is North American. Thus I doubt it is Christopher Lee. Wonder what Lee does in FL
