Interesting Observation in the Credits (Possible minor spoil

Okay well the demo kicked me out from hitting level 2 (I hope someone makes a patch for this) so I was bored and watched the credits. To my surprise I found a few people of note who were voice actors in Freelancer.

-George Takei (Sulu from Star Trek)
-John Rhys Davies (has been in numerous shows/movies, most recently as Gimli in Lord of the Rings, was also in Wing Commander 3)
-Christopher Lee (another actor that has been in many movies, recently Sarumon in LotR and Count Dooku in Star War Ep II)

I kind of hope their in-game character resemble the actors, as I admire all three of those listed.

There may have been other famous actors on that list, but those were just a few that really popped out at me.

I wonder if any of these guys are in the demo?

You mean they actually look like the actors in game? Great!

Rhys Davies is Tobias (almost an exact copy of him in fact), and I'm pretty sure Takei is the Order agent. Who's Lee?

This just goes to show the amount of quality put into the game. Gotta love it.

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.

I must admit, while I think these actors should get their exposure, it's refreshing to not see *With: GEORGE TAKEI, JOHN RHYS DAVIES, CHRISTOPHER LEE
on the front of the box. Its good to see a game pushed on its own merits and not the voice actors in the game.

You guys are forgetting about Ian Ziering, the voice of Edison Trent! He was a star on the old series, 90210.

Eh, no one cares about him, he's just Trent. He also hardly speaks in the story missions, lol But you're right, he put the most work out of all of the voice actors into the game (Except perhaps Takei; he helped out with the Kusari culture and stuff, wanted it to be authentic. Think I read it in a gamespy interview)

I have no idea who Lee plays, though I know it's not the "end boss" because there isn't one. Maybe he plays the Rheinland Chancellor or something, thats the only one I can think of. Doesn't really sound like him though.

Christopher Lee played Saruman, not Sauron.
