October 14, 2008 - High Voltage Software, Inc., one of the world's largest independent developers, today officially revealed the Hollywood voice-over cast of their exciting first-person action shooter, The Conduit.

Mark A. Sheppard stars as the voice of the main character, Mr. Ford. A British-born actor and musician, Sheppard's TV credits include Battlestar Galactica, 24, Medium, Firefly, Burn Notice, CSI and The Bionic Woman. His film credits include Unstoppable, Evil Eyes, and In the Name of the Father.

"I think the story in this [The Conduit] is fantastic," said Sheppard. "I think there's a lot there for the player to enjoy."

William Morgan Sheppard puts his incredible voice to the character of John Adams. William Morgan Sheppard spent 12 years as an Associate Artist with the Royal Shakespeare Company. His TV credits include Star Trek: The Next Generation, Babylon 5, and Kingdom Hospital. His film credits include Star Trek VI, The Prestige and Transformers. His video game credits include Medal of Honor, Metal Gear Solid 2, Escape from Monkey Island and Star Wars: Force Commander.

"It [The Conduit] has a resonance to it as a story;" said Morgan Sheppard. "It's really quite exciting... and very well written."

Last and definitely not least is Kevin Sorbo, who stars as the voice of the terrorist Prometheus. Sorbo is an American actor best known for the roles of Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda. His film credits include Kull the Conqueror, Avenging Angel, Prairie Fever, Meet the Spartans and An American Carol.

"It [The Conduit] looks like a riot," said Sorbo, "I'm looking forward to it."

The Conduit is tentatively scheduled for release in Q1 2009 exclusively for the Nintendo Wii.

GREAT NEWS, I love those guys, if they do well on their parts there should be no cheese factor to the VO like most games. Woot!

Very pleasing! Not huge names, but definitely known, and certainly experienced voice actors (and actors in general). This is the perfect route to go.

I just hope they add more to this title, so far it seems very run of the mill.

awesome, i cant wait :)



So we've got Badger, the Soul Hunter from Babylon 5, and Hercules so far. Not bad.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

That's great but Gears of War has John DiMaggio! Bender!! You can't beat that!!

That's still great though.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 

Hahahaha, that may be the best collection of voices in any sci-fi game ever made. The only way to improve it would be the inclusion of Duke Nukem's VA.

From name I only know Keven Sorbo, but I used to watch Hercules and Andromeda all the time.

Maybe I'd recognise the others if I saw a picture, I watch BSG, but cannot name one actor.

 

Mark Sheppard was Romo Lampkin, the shady defense attorney in Battlestar Galactica. He's only been in about three episodes, but he stole the show in every one of them.
