Actors?
I'm kinda obsessed with voice acting and actors in particular, and the ones who did Sam & Max are obviously really good. I missed to check in the credits and my savegames are now pretty far from the end, I can't find the names on IMDB either, anyone know or wanna check the credits for me real quick?:D

Sam's voice is the same as Fone Bone's? That's odd, because I thought the voice work for Sam was much better than Fone Bone's.
Glad to see somebody else obsessed with voice actors. All my friends think I am just weird.
I don't know, but I think it probably is. I'd be surprised if there were two guys named Andrew Chaikin both doing voice work for video games.
Bill Farmer was Sam
Nick Jameson was Max
Nick really had the Max voice down in the Hit the Road game.
as for Bill his voice seemed like a Sam in a way.
You can really feel it when he said "You crack me up little buddy."
Not like the other Sam voices where it just didnt feel right.
1) Availability ( Conflict of schedules )
2) Finance ( Conflict of available money )
3) Artistic Merit ( Giving new actors a chance )
4) Fine Print Obligations ( Can only work with a specific stuido, Tom Cruise being an example of this )
5) Inexplicible ( TellTaleGamaphobia, intellectual-property-licence-necrophobia, xenophobia )
6) Tragic ( Lost phone numbers, bad lunch dates, gruesome folding chair accident )
7) Bizzare ( Alien intervention, Robot intervention, Ninja intervention, Pirate intervention )
Now that Nick guy he looks like hes going real good. God i wish some of these hot shot actors would go back and go the good stuff. i bet ur right about the money thing too. *sighs* they never thing about there fans. its always what they want
"They never think about the fans"???????!?!?!??!??
If it wasn't for TellTale we'd have been still crying for Lucasarts' Freelance Police.
Think about it.
Formerly of vocal rock band The House Jacks, Andrew is also known as Kid Beyond and is considered one of the world's premier vocal percussionists (beatboxers). You can check out his stuff at acatunes.com.
DISCLAIMER: I'm in no way associated with Andrew or the twenty different names he operates under. Just a stupid fan.
Back to the discussion at hand, I'll cast my vote in favor of the new voice actors. I thought they nailed the characters and I understand why from both a business and often personal standpoint that you can't always get the people you want for a given project.
My hope is that the choices Telltale has made in terms of casting and production have made it profitable to produce these games so we get many more Sam & Max adventures.

I say we should keep the new voices, they seem to work well.
I see the light.
