Bethesda Announces Voice Cast for Skyrim, Talent Abounds

Bethesda gets what Bethesda wants, and if Bethesda wants an Oscar-worthy team of talent bringing their games to life, then that’s exactly what’s going to happen. From Captain Picard Patrick Stewart (Oblivion) to Qui-Gon Jinn Liam Neeson (Fallout 3), the recording studio has seen its share of greats in the past, and Skyrim will have its own legion of stars leading it to victory.

Christopher Plummer (“Up,” “A Beautiful Mind”): Arngeir, Greybeard elder and master of the Way of the Voice

Max Von Sydow (“Robin Hood,” “Minority Report”): Esbern, agent of the Blades and chronicler

Joan Allen (“The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Pleasantville”): Delphine, one of the last remaining members of the Blades and a warrior seeking the answer to the mystery of the dragons’ return

Lynda Carter (“Wonder Woman,” “Law and Order”): Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, ancient Nord hero and slayer of dragons. SO many dragons.

Additional voices are being provided by Michael Hogan (“Battlestar Galactica”), Vladimir Kulich (“The 13th Warrior), Claudia Christian (“Babylon 5″), Diane Louise Salinger (“Carnivale”), Renee Victor (“Weeds”), and George Coe (“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”).

Don’t forget that Dave also swore he heard legendary Winnie the Pooh and Minsc and Boo voice actor Jim Cummings in the voice cast during his epic preview!!
