The Voice Actor Discussion Thread
Hopefully they can get a hold of the original cast like they did with Ghostbusters. I'm not sure about Michael J Fox, but I'm pretty sure Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson would be fairly easy to get on board.

They can get all of them. Trust me.
Apart from that, I'm super excited for BOTH projects! Go Telltale!
I would think NBC Universal would probably be willing to pay their salaries to preserve the integrity of their franchise. ...but then again given the situation with Cone Bone, maybe not.
Yeah, on this board.
Like say Futurama the cartoon, that series almost got canned or well the new movies, because the voice actors wanted insane salaries, then when they canned them and started to look for other people, then suddenly they were fine with their pay.
Maybe they could even lure them to post on the forum
But we can only hope and see what TIME brings.
Oh, you'd be surprised! Tim Curry pops up where you least expect him! Books on tapes and whatnot. And he's done games before! He was Dr. Frankenstein in a point and click adventure game called Frankenstein some years back. You end up chasing around a castle with the fear that Tim Curry is going to jump out, knife you in the back, and involve you in one of his horrific experiments. Kind of horrible graphics, but kind of brilliant fear factor, being Tim Curry and all. I've developed an irrational fear of Tim Curry ever since! j/k Actually, I think he's brilliant.
I could see him in Jurassic Park more than I could BTTF actually. He just has that feeling of either a great villain, a sneaky villain, or a scientist or something. Although something tells me his character would get eaten.

He can do anything. I think he's a wizard.
The animated cartoon voices were fine;

And someone's mentioned the Atlantis movie sequel where his character Milo was voiced by someone else.
Due to their interesting and unusual voices, they're probably easier to mimic than most.
But yes, great if we got Fox & Lloyd, but I'm sure if we don't the replacements will be good.
You must not have liked Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, or Monkey Island then, since they replaced actors in each of those games.
Well, Lechuck in episode 1, as well as human Lechuck, weren't the original actors, and neither were Stan or the Voodoo Lady. They're all fairly significant characters, imo.
But anyway, I'll still be excited.
Yeah, but Earl Boen has provided the voice for
Actually, I still prefer the original voice actors of Sam and Max. I mean it's Kyle Katarn and Goofy!
Funnily enough I could imagine that happening in real life
It's because he's English, isn't it? We're not all supervillains you know!
I agree, though. But of course with BttF we don't know when it will be set. And evil Englishmen don't need an excuse to turn up in random places!
I loved all three, myself.
Didn't mind about S&M one bit, but with Wallace & Gromit and MI it did take the shine off ever so slightly.
Oh don't they?
Also, I want Wilson, Thomson and actually TOLKAN!
BTTF's unique quality was the "ensemble" character. Whenever they went, you'd meet more or less the same character, possibly another person played by the same actor (The same thing actually happens to the time machine, which has "incarnations" in differing time periods). And doesn't Telltale rely on exactly those qualities in their episodes, recurring characters and possibly only attaching a beard to depict a different one?
If this "ensemble" quality can not be retained through original voice actors, I'd really rather have different, new characters. I wouldn't be crushed if this happened. Getting all these actors on board would make an incredibly expensive game, that's plain reality. I'm pretty sure TTG can not pull that off. If they'd get Lloyd in the boat, that would actually be achievement enough for me.
Which sounds like a mickey-take, but if they can't get the voice of Marty, then they should charicature it rather than going with a soundalike who will just disappoint people by getting some of the subtleties wrong.
...AND sounds like Guybrush Threepwood. Duh!
I'll be disappointed if Dominic Armato doesn't do it.
And who says that Armato does an impeccable Fox impression? Your own fanboyism? Seriously, how does anybody know that Armato would do a good Fox impression?
Why...this means.....absolutely nothing.
