I'm crushed that Liotta had to go against that in the opening round.

Edit was for forgetting the "T" in the first option

If I have a chance later, maybe I'll listen to the sample clips and vote on the other two matches from that.

As much as I love Troy, Templeman could read the phone book in his Kain voice and I'd buy the audiobook on different devices.

Second match is rather mean, would be swayed if I I didn't love watching the exact kind of smarmy ass Tommy Vercetti is. Hale shows her amazing range really well with the differences between Paragon and Renegade, somehow keeping a cohesive character for each in spite of how naturally fragmented the writing would be, and not in Meer's way of seeming vaguely impressed or annoyed by everything he sees and hears. But man is Tommy the only GTA protag I care about, and that's entirely based on vocal delivery.

Third is just great all around, both deserve accolades for what they managed to do. Burch just impresses me due to how she changes her performance during certain parts to reflect character differences, whilst Duncan is just solid throughout giving a consistently enjoyable performance with strong accent work.

I like when Vaas screams "MCLOVIN'" more than my ship sailing in the morning.

I knew nothing about Legacy of Kain before searching for that video and was instantly sold.
Fox is good for a joke entrant.
