Funny thing about the voice actors...

The actor who did Johnathan's voice, Hideyuki Tanaka, also did the voice for Otacon in MGS1. I'm not sure about the other metal gears, or whether this is common knowledge or not, but it seems kind of funny...It's like how Steve Blum is in everything American...

Blum is in everything... Hmm, is your mentioning of him perhaps as a casting for Jonathan? I've heard it before...

My vote for Jonathan goes to Craig Bierko. Not only would he sound perfect as him, but he also looks exactly like him too. I realized it when I was watching The Thirteenth Floor last year.

Ah, yeah... I saw this, but I find people sound different when they speak casually than when they act...

Yeah, I was going to say that after I watched the whole thing just now, but I was too lazy to search for a clip from the movie before. When you hear him act, he totally nails it for me.

I suppose this would do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkEHcB4y7R8

If you read up on IMDb on every voice actor from Policenauts, they have all been in at least one other Kojima project! Saying Kojima likes using the voice actors again is an understatement, check it out.

Craig Bierko, as in the guy from Boston Legal? (Great show, if you don't watch it, I would totally reccomend it) I can kind of see that happening, but I've only ever seen him on BL...Steve blum would be good, because of his whole Spike Spiegel role, (another great show, in case you're interested) though he has been in A LOT recently...maybe we should just leave it as is; the Japanese acting is fine.

I'm actually not crazy about Blum for Jonathan... I think his voice is a little to signature, perhaps character type wise...

Edit: Agh, I totally forgot the cigarette in that shopped picture! :lol:

AHAHAHAA, I remember him playing the role of "Lister" on the failed American adaptation of Red Dwarf back in the early 90's. He isn't bad though, he played a really convincing asshole in the 13th Floor. He has that manly rugged-ness to him.
