Persona 4 Anime Dub Announcement Leaves Original English Cast Speechless
Sentai Filmworks surprised fans at Anime Boston this weekend by announcing that the original English voice cast for Persona 4 would be reprising their roles for the North American release of the anime based on the PlayStation 2 role-playing game. Even more surprised were the voice actors themselves.

The Men, And Women, Of Video Game Voice Work
There’s a neat feature up on Gameplayer at the moment. It’s pulling back the veil on the voice actors behind 70 of gaming’s greatest characters (though they cheat on some, and others aren’t so great).
Video Game Voice Actor Released From Hospital, Returns Home
Michael Rudder, voice actor for video games such as Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell, was finally released from an Indian hospital yesterday after being shot during a terrorist attack in Mumbai last month.
Neil Patrick Harris And Will Arnett Eat Lead
While we might not know too much about D3Publisher’s upcoming video game farce Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, today’s voice talent announcement is nearly enough to warrant must-buy status. Stepping into the throat of faux-iconic hero Matt Hazard is Arrested Development’s Will Arnett. Will plays the classic 80′s video game icon given a chance at a comeback by sinister Marathon Megasoft owner Wallace “Wally” Wellesley, who is secretly plotting Hazard’s death. Giving voice to the villain? None other than How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris, who has also appeared in the Harold and Kumar films as well as some old medical drama television show I promised I wouldn’t mention.
The Conduit Snags Two Sheppards And A Sorbo
What would a futuristic first-person shooter be without top-notch Hollywood voice talent? Why it would be High Voltage Software’s The Conduit for the Nintendo Wii, which dipped a few notches below top in their search to find the voice to match the characters in their upcoming game. Not that the actors they snagged aren’t talented and entertaining. Mark A. Sheppard, the voice of the game’s main character Mr. Ford, was Badger in Firefly for crying out loud. The man oozes quality. William Morgan Sheppard, the voice of John Adams, played Captain Witwicky in the Transformers movie and was the voice of Limburger in Biker Mice from Mars!
