Mass Effect 2's celebrity cast revealed

360 News | Some of sci-fi's acting best to voice characters in game.

BioWare has revealed the celebrity voice actor lineup for their highly-anticipated upcoming space-RPG title Mass Effect 2, and by all accounts the title will be chock full of star studded talent.

"Emotionally engaging narrative is a key design pillar for BioWare, and the top-notch voice talent in Mass Effect 2 helps drive this goal," said BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka via press statement. "Credible, powerful personalities are vital to delivering a compelling story experience in BioWare's games."

Alongside the return of Seth Green and Keith David (who will reprise their roles from the first game) Mass Effect 2 will see the vocal acting chops of Martin Sheen, Carrie-Anne Moss and such science-fiction TV veterans such as Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer and Michael Hogan, Michael Dorn of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 fame, and Firefly's Adam Baldwin.

Mass Effect 2 is scheduled to grace retail outlets from 29 January 2010.

Adam Baldwin? I hope we get a Chuck reference thrown in, since Yvonne Strahovski is playing the main female character.

You can make your own Chuck reference. Adam Baldwin's voicing Grunt, the new Krogan party member. I'll be starting a new save file with Miranda Lawson, Grunt and Chuck Shepard.

I can't wait to see who Michael Hogan turns out to be. I love his hilariously drawn out angry drunken slur on Battlestar.

He's voicing a dude called Grunt?

How entirely appropriate.

I want firefly back. Truly, this is the age of Bioware.
