Sorry I only have the people who did the voice in the Telltale episodes, I don't have Hit the Road or the TV Show, so I don't know who voices Max in those.
I think havin those two actors as oppose to includin the non TTG on the poll is a good thing considering that I would imagine if you include the others, the thread will become one of those topics about "TT should get the voices for hit the road to do season " Bleh
I voted for the actor who did the majority of the episodes since he seems to be more fluid and articulate in the first episode he voiced Max when compared to the other guy.
find it hard to judge the first guy on one episode tbh, because the second Actor Willian Karsten, has improved alot through out the episodes, getting better and better.
I'm really partial to Robert Tinkler. His voice was so full of emotion.
William Kasten reminds me of Daxter in the Jak series (funny to note, his voice actor is Max Casella). That is a good thing and a bad thing. I really enjoyed Daxter's character, but I'm always anticipating Max to say or do something Daxterish... Kinda distracting on my side.
Kasten is the perfect Max voice for me. He captured the shrill, sligntly insane, voice I always imagined reading the comics and playing HTR, before I got the CDRom voiced edition.
In my opinion, the voice work in the TTG episodes is far superior to everything that has gone before. In the animated series everyone seemed to be rushing to get their lines out, a similar gripe I have with the new Clone Wars series, and hit the punchline. And HtR seemed to be trying to hard to make Max out to be some sort of stereotype New York toughie.
William Kasten: because MAx should always have a slightly high, Child like voice. He must always sound playful while being murderous. William Kasten has captured this perfectly. I only wish in anything that there were more "HEy Sam. is X a real word?" lines like at the beginning of hit the road
It makes you think that the best of all possible games would be one where Andrew Chaikin and William Kasten did voices! That would be the best game ever!

Given Chaikin's performance as Bugeye in Tales, and Kasten's various adventures as supporting characters in Season 2 (and of course Max), it does sound compelling.
Oh wait. I've already bought into that certain game at least 5 times

I don't actually have any real preference, they were both good.

A no means no however, and then you have to look at alternatives. In that case it's not TTG to blame, but the original voice-actors.
So, which of the 2 is it. I don't know... do you know?
The original voice actors? Bill Farmer (Sam) and Nick Jameson (Max).
1) TTG didn't ask them.
2) TTG asked them and they said no.
I'll just leave this here.
So, Kasten wins.
