Change the cast list from (Voice) to (Face)


You got to admit in a video game like this it isn't just the voice acting its the actual ACTING so they should really change this page so it doesn't say (Voice) after the actors name so we are one step closer to Video Games being accepted not only as an interactive film but as an art form!

Yes and no.
For instance the motion capture done for the body of Phelps was done by 3 different people.
So are you suggesting there should be a cast credit for each person too?

It was not just 1 actor that brought the character(s) to life. So it's just easier to have the actor listed as voice.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.

Movies usually have the same character portrayed by different people. Stuntmen, little and large people for perspective shots/tricks, closeup/rearshot stand-ins...

The Hobbits on Lord of the Rings are either actors with little people, or actors with giants.
There is a bike scene in xXx with a motorbike champion with a Vin Diesel mask.

I doubt Val Kilmer did all the motion capture work for Batman Forever (if any).
