[IcEnhancement]

[S3iizure]

keith david has an epic voice

[greghannibal]

interesting Lance Henriksen's character doesn't even show himself till the last DLC of Mass Effect 2

[Antimanele104]

Anderson:RAMIREZ!

Shepard:What?

Anderson:Oh sorry,wrong game.

[TheMasterOfDiscovery]

@Antimanele104 Anderson:And so...you must be silenced!

Shepherd:What the...?

Anderson:Not again...

[WorthingStProjects]

Keith David and Lance Henriksen, two of the best video game voice actors ever :)

[koldmorth]

GOLIATH!!!

[trustcocky]

bishop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trund27]

I love real voice actors! Not all stars do well at this..It really is a separate art form.

[EssenceOfTruth]

I can to greats like James Earl Jones, Patrick Stewart, Keith David, Rosco Lee Brown, and Tony Jay talk all day LONG! They could be talking about how to make scrambled eggs and I'd be all ears gettin' the praise!

[Madfoot713]

I was watching a show on the History channel and I was like... holy fuck, that narrator is captain anderson!

[wilky1189]

keith david, james earl jones, morgan freeman, sam jackson....black guys get all the good voices....

[AgrivatedKillah]

@wilky1189 Don't forget kevin michael richardson.

[EvilHippy38]

I can't help but think of Goliath when I hear this guy's voice.

[sU2gnoleBResaBRUllA]

There's The Arbit-I mean Anderson!

[chromeblack]

WE ARE DEFENDERS OF THE NIGHT! WE ARE GARGOYLES!

[badpeq]

Lance Henriksen's voice is so manly!!

[CausalityLoop]

Shepard! Take down that AC-130 with your ommni-tool!

[Antichrist2000]

Jesus, I wish I had that voice!

[SatsugaiKaze]

Note how in the Mass Effect 3 gameplay vids Anderson keeps giving Shepard orders by saying "Shepard, do this!" or "Shepard, do that!"

... sensing a trend?

[Antichrist2000]

@SatsugaiKaze I think what he is trying to say is, Shepard I know the way out and if you don't move RIGHT NOW! you are going to die.

[SuperHeroMan411]

i sound like a girl compared to these men lol!

[HirachieOfSociety]

Ramirez take out that reaper!

wait wtf?

[IndorilTheGreat]

Ramirez! Take down that Reaper! Don't let it destroy the burger town!

[8888Duke8888]

@IndorilTheGreat bahahahaaha

[XSuperTortugaX]

I want Keith David to read my bedtime storys! Baha LMFAO!!!!!!!

[RRVCrinale]

SHEPARD

DO EVERYTHING

[sickndboy]

i wonder if my dad is ever gunna take me to meet him cuz hes friends with him... kinda close 2 since he went to his moms funeral

[MrHilariouspranks]

"Then I guess that makes us even." (Gunshot) "Not really." - Saints Row 2

[Zain844]

i imagine voiceacting is much easier then live action acting. It doesnt matter what you look like. You can show up to work in your PJs if you wanted to. and you don't have to memorize your lines you can just act while reading your lines from the paper. You just do the line over and over until the director gets a take that he likes then says "move onto the next line" It would get tedious though having to say the same line over again 5 or 6 times.

[Whackooyzero]

@Zain844 If your good you only have to say the line 1 or 2 times.

[BLACKNEND]

"I am the Arbiter!"

[JenkemBananaBlitz]

@BLACKNEND he also fought Roddy Piper in "They Live" and was the second man to survive with Kurt Russel at the end of "The Thing."

[FlakyShaky]

@JenkemBananaBlitz OMG That IS him, isn't it? "They Live" has one of the best fight scenes in a movie, I think. Now he's in one of my favorite games! Plus he does a lot of voice overs on the History Channel, too. His voice is unmistakeable.

[TheLordPlague]

Son of a BI*TCH!!!

AMAZING!!!!

I couldn't even though of Keith David synchronizing Captian Anderson O_O

[dycarbon1]

Keith David is the shit!

[shanenolan85]

Amazing voice!!! I've been sayin it for years lol!!!!!!!

[GoatOfGhandi]

he is such a cool dude to be in all of these sick games and cartoons, and to always get into character and just kill it

[justmymage]

Im Keith David. And this is my favorite game on the citadel.

[rocklobster665]

remirez theres a stinger on the roof of nates!

[Caradog93]

Where do I recognise Lance Henriksen... HOLY CRABCAKES, HE'S BISHOP IN 'ALIENS'!!!

[JohnFortman]

CC On: 1:00 - modern letters and playing are more accurate

[sladester79]

Henriksen just sounds important. No, he wreaks of importance.

[WolfySnackrib666]

Is it just me or does it sound like Lance Henriksen says "My name is Lazarus, I'm playing..."?

[otherwoman1]

I'm in LOVE WITH KEITH DAVID. THAT VOICE IS AMAZING.

[WolfySnackrib666]

@otherwoman1 I'm inlove with Marina Sirtis, especially Demona! Her voice is heavenly. If I was in the least bit gay, then I would be inlove with Keith David as well, I promise that there is not a human being on this planet that can top his godlike voice.

[kebabonline]

The first time i played Mass Effect. I remembered his voice, no doubt one of the best actors ever. Imo.

[tontsa911]

Capt. Anderson is such a sympathic character :D But he had a REALLY minor role in ME2. I hope we see him more in ME3 and that he survives.

[jkman10]

I wonder if keith was mad he was acting a white character.

[LWStupidus]

@jkman10 Anderson in ME's lore is black/native american/mixed; apparently most humans are by that time (I've read part of the Mass Effect Revelations novel and he's in it).

[benisheadshot]

@jkman10 ummmm...really?

[joshodst]

those voices are amazing! holy crap

[tom1yum2goong]

Lance Henriksen the guy the plays Admiral Hackett is a great actor but when are we going to see him in the game Admiral Hackett i mean all we hear is is voice. Admiral Hackett, David Anderson, and John Shepard are all good friends in the game we should see them together

[treetheoak]

@tom1yum2goong since he's alliance first (and earth is under attack in ME3) you can bet your ass that he's is without a doubt gonna be part of the direct story in ME3. :)

[tom1yum2goong]

@treetheoak cool i they make him sound like a cool guy in the game so i'd really like to see him

[MattInTheHat55]

I WILL continue my campaign against the humans!

[Clonetrooper17]

@MattInTheHat55 Humanity is our enemy Goliath!

Wow I wonder if they thought they would ever work with each other after gargoyles?

[angrydead]

you will never be as cool as this man.

[PocusUK]

Love Lance Hericksen, was superb in the Quick and the Dead

[oyeboy94]

Anderson is one of my favorite characters. I'm sad he had such a small part in Mass Effect 2.

[Enchurito]

You are an amazing actor Goliath.

[ItsDaJokerHAHAHAAAA]

i think he is close to Morgan Freeman

[TigerMilitia]

Mass Effec' LOL

Henrikson ftw

[28Deny]

Good man :)

[grovestreet]

Lance has an amazing voice.

[magnetite2]

Always remember Lance Henriksen as Frank Black on Millennium

[56KbModem]

Holy shit! Marina Sirtis is Benezia?!?! Fucking amazing.

[dycarbon1]

He's the arbiter as well a sgt folly from mw2

[jmedran]

"if we hadn't discovered those Prothean ruins buried on Mars, we'd still be stuck on earth"

that sounds really silly out of context.

[ajkrunch94]

worry so easy- arbiter: halo3

[XxhadoukenxX]

Ramirez! Do everything!

[mecaguy03]

Is this guy also the voice of johnson from halo?

[shooshooshooshooter]

@mecaguy03 no, actually. But he is the VA for the Arbiter

[potatodude77]

@mecaguy03 no, but i think he's the arbiter.

[SeiferKai]

Keith David's His Voice is so Epic...I love it Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Mass Effect Series Was Epic Cause of Him Alone...if he was a Sargent i would love to fight in his Army..

[elfmann243]

fuck me him and james earl jones voices are just epicness incarnate

[Cuddlemaster66]

Arbiter!

[TheChromeCatastrophe]

Hey there Sgt. Foley, Julius Little, Cpn. Anderson, and Arbiter.

[douboymk2]

"my tribe gets smaller and stupider, moro"

[Rtv03]

Awesome. And they come back as sgt Foley and General Shepherd

[Logankeller352]

arbiter!

[chitopuff]

[PCGAMEfreak]

[Davmoran1]

[dupahh]

Bishop hell yea

[Fastman698]

[chromeblack]

"XANATOS!"

"I've been denied everything! EEEEVEN MYY REEVEEEENGEEE!!!!"

[acrispybird]

Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez! Ramirez!

[teenwolf67]

this is probably jsut me and im sorry if im reitterating this but, does keith david and marina sirtis using the EXACT same voice for goliath and demona in this?

[TheBigBangBoys]

Aside from games, isn't he also an announcer for like... the Navy ad, some movie ads, and also for the Military Channel? (well, of course on occasion as well.)

[Sirxchrish]
