One thing that impressed me about Lollipop Chainsaw that I forgot to mention in my preview was just how great the voice acting was. Today, Warner Bros revealed the voice actors and it's surprising to see just how many big name actors are on the project!
First up, Tara Strong, whom you may recognize for her role as Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City, is the voice behind Juliet Starling. Nick, the disembodied head that hangs off Juliet's butt, is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, best known as Lex Luthor from the horrible Smallville series.
Other big name stars you can expect include Linda Cardellini as Cordelia, Gregg Henry as Juliet's dad, Sean Gunn as Swan, and Jimmy Urine as Zed. Shawnee Smith and Michael Rooker will also be providing their talents to undisclosed characters.
I'm kind of in disbelief that Michael Rosenbaum is the one behind Nick's hilarious voice. I'm so used to his quiet, dull voice in Smallville.
You didn't have to point out that Tara Strong was the voice of Juliet Starling. She is the voice of every female character (and every young male character)
I probably wasn't going to get this game anyways, but the closet weeaboo inside me is sad that you can't have the option of the Japanese voices on the non-Japanese versions.
You might also remember Tara Strong as Bubbles on the Powerpuff Girls, Raven on Teen Titans, Rikku in Final Fantasy X and X-2, Kaede Smith in Killer 7 and, of course, Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
aw hell, Rosenbaum is great! He has a lot more range then he showed on Smallville, specially for comedic stuff.
The whole voice cast though is.. Wow. I can't believe they managed to get some of these people for a game that has the potential to underperformed in sales (I'm sorry, I'm super SUPER hyped for this now, but I get the idea that this games going to be one that's going to polerize the audience) Can't wait to see how this comes out!
