So who WERE the guys in the trailer?
Considering all the picking apart they received, I'm surprised no one's been able to place the voice actors behind Sam and Max in Telltale's trailer. The FAQ page suggests that they were fairly accomplished, and I'm interesting in knowing who they are. So, what are their names? Surely that's not something that requires secrecy?

It's bad enough there are two Ashley Olsens.
How about now?
brendan q ferguson... guy who did the voice of dudebrough?
I'll tell eventually. Just want to see if anyone can figure it out first. )
The greatest team-up of ALL time B-)
Anyway, I've only played the demo of the first Bone game, but I'm going to assume the actor who played Phoney plays one of the daring duo. Sounds kind of similar to me.
EDIT: JP - I like the new avatar!
Max was voiced by David Nowlin, otherwise known as Fone Bone.
You might be surprised to learn who Sam was... any more guesses?
I think he may have some fone bone residuals..max just wasn't psycho enough.. 2 boney
Wendell is the owner of Maude the cow, and spends most of his time hanging out inside the Barrel Haven during the game.
(I just replayed the entire thing on Friday or I probably wouldn't remember all their names!)
It's a possibility.
And since you guys have been so patient, I'll finally reveal who voiced Sam in the trailer............
David Nowlin.
He sure does get around. I remember hearing David Nowlin's "Fone Bone" voice somewhere else, too. It certainly sounded like him, at least. it was on some Nick Toons children's show kind of thing that for some reason was on Cartoon Network, with a bunch of garden gnomes doing whatever it is such creatures do. Working and playing musical instruments, or learning life lessons or something.
WHAAAAAAT? By Jove, this guy rocks. )
I never said anything about the voices, because I cannot judge them in the best way (English is not my mothertongue), but to be honest I like his double performance. The voices sound right to me.
now.. that demands an in-game joke.
Something to keep in mind about the these voices is that the trailer was put together fairly quickly, and there wasn't a huge amount of time for voice coaching and "getting into the role". Also, the only script he had was the trailer script. Sure, the comics and the other game are there for reference, but that's not the same as having an entire script and time to get to know your character. That's a very different scenario than voice recording for the full game, so even if he ends up doing voices in the full game, it doesn't necessarily mean his version of the voices will sound exactly the way he does in the trailer.
I think he did a great job, and I personally really like the voices he did in the trailer. I've listened to it many times and I can't tell it's the same person doing both voices, or that he's the voice of Fone Bone.
Ahem, I got that almost immediately. B-)

But I couldn't imagine that he was Sam's voice too. Perhaps one can hate the result (I like it), but... I bow to his skills.
