VOICE ACTORS: STEPHEN RUSSELL must be Garrett - Other actors - all discussion

[WVI]

Okay, that's just nuts. It wouldn't be Thief unless everyone spoke in Braille.

[Master Taffer]

Changed my mind, Garrett should be played by Rip Taylor!

Ha! Instead of a flashbomb he could throw confetti in a guards face to escape.

I think Garrett should be deaf and mute in TH4F. Just imagine not hearing anything or being able to say anything. Wouldn't have to worry about getting Stephen Russell to voice act and it would add some difficulty not being able to hear guards walking by. Just a thought...

Of chief importance will be the vocal communities of both Thief and Deus Ex.
D'Astous said something the fans clearly want are the original Thief voice actors to return, "And this is obviously something that we'll consider very seriously."

Sounds promising.

This is exactly why we should forget the rumors about Garrett's removal.

[Viktoria]

Yes, I agree.
But with nothing set in stone at the moment, it is only inevitable that rumour and speculation will continue - at least until further information is released.

I'm just afraid that EM spies that lurk these forums get the idea that the majority couldn't give a taff whether Garrett stays or goes, and then they decide to go with the bad alternative.

The majority? Really?
This thread would suggest otherwise:

But how about someone (who can! ) create a specific poll to find out for sure what most fans want? A simple two question poll with:

1. Yes, it must be Garrett. He is Thief!
or
2. No, it doesn't have to be Garrett. I just want a good Thief game, whoever the main character is.

Or something like that.
Perhaps even an additional option for a neutral answer, for those who prefer to sit on the wall and have fun with target practice while they wait to find out what EM decide it will be.

[Deadly Shadow]

It was a moment of tension running The Metal Age for the first time, fearing that Garrett would have a new voice, same for Deadly Shadows...
I've never played a game where the voice acting is so crucial, and amazing. Stephen Russell is the man.

[Viktoria]

^ Same, and I agree with what you say.

[van_HellSing]

If "Thi4f" is going to feature Garrett, I think it's safe to say Stephen Russell will be back as well. He is still very much in touch with gaming industry, recently heard in Fallout 3. I laughed quite a lot the first time one of the Mr Handy robots blurted out "Have at thee!" with a decidedly Hammerite diction when attacked

This is something to remember, by the way: Stephen is not only responsible for Garrett's voice, but also the Benny the Hammers, and other memorable voices of the Thief world. Getting him is paramount.

[Direlord]

Stephen from what i know does quite a bit of voice work.

[Blue Sky]

Good grief, I hope nothing happens to Mr Russell before he records for Thi4f.

Quick, someone lock him in a padded room! With a microphone! Let's get all the voice work for Thi5f done now as well, just in case...

[Rachie]

Stephen for Garrett, of course.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Gillie]

I would love Stephen Russell as Garrett it just should be him no one else.
Just as much Garrett should be back anyway. His voice work and as Garrett is the best.
Stephen Russell has done quite a lot of voice work in games. System shock is one
Besides being in films his latest is Noelle, which I have not seen yet.
He is nothing like the charactor.
Also voiced in Mystery plays which I have a couple they are good.
Broken Arts here is the Expert "Oh Yeah"

[ASHASSIN]

yes, steve is a must. no question.

[esme]

I want Seth McFarlane to do the voices so we can have Peter Griffin as Garrett, Stewie as Karras, Quagmire as Keeper Orland -"so young acolyte this prophecy here says you will sleep with me giggity"



no seriously I would really like Stephen Russell back again

[Knight]

ONLY STEPHEN RUSSEL.. When some1 else, the garrett is phail and t4 need another hero, and that would be very bad... So STEPHEN RUSSEL FOREVA

[catelee2u]

A no-brainer. Gotta be Stephen Russell for Garret as well as many other characters probably since he is mutli-talented.

[kaekaelyn]

And Herbert, that creepy old pedophile man as Constantine!

Seriously, though, Mr. Russell needs to return as Garrett, as well as to reprise his other classic roles, such as Benny and Hammerite 1. I always loved Hammerite 1's voice. Somehow he really nailed the "zealot" thing.

VOICE ACTORS: STEPHEN RUSSELL must be Garrett

YES of course !!!

Any doubt ?

No Russell, no money from me. Bywwwww...

[ToMegaTherion]

If the worst happens and Russell is unavailable, would we rather have a different voice or a different character?

He wasn't unavailable when Fallout 3 was in the making.
