while on the ITF today, one of the topics that came up was NPC voices, who would voice who and so forth. after the TF was over, Ran and my self took what bits we remembered (the topic was started right before the Romi fight, so some was lost.) and made a list.
then i added a few more cuz i could. 
so heres waht we came up with, be interesting to see what you guys think and any sujestions you have for diffrent VA's.

Black Scorpion: Ron Perlman
Ghost Widow: Jennifer Hale
Sicciro: Frank Welker
Captain Mako: Scott McNeil
Statesman: Gary Chalk
Manticor: Kevin Conroy
Back Ally Brawler: Michal Dorn

Oh this will be fun. 
Quote:Lord Recluse: Lance Henriksen
Interesting choice. I probably wouldn't have thought about him, but on reflection I think you've got something there. I think Lance can be quite good at the "quiet menace" sort of villain.
Quote:Black Scorpion: Ron Perlman
Sicciro: Frank Welker
Captain Mako: Scott McNeil
I like all these guys, but I'm going to suggest a Street Fighter style shuffle here.
Black Scorpion: Scott McNeil
Sirocco: Ron Perlman
Captain Mako: Frank Welker
Why? Cause:
1) When I saw the name Frank Welker in the list, I immediately thought of Mako. In fact, in my internal headspace I realized I've been unconsciously having Welker voice him for years now.
2) Sirocco - I very much see his voice being portrayed in a similar fashion to that of Slade from Teen Titans, and - guess who? Ron Perlman.
3) Scott McNeil rounds it out nicely as Black Scorpion.
Quote:Statesman: Gary Chalk
Don't know who the above guy is, so can't say.
Quote:Manticore: Kevin Conroy
Ohhhh.... NOW you're cooking with gas. I approve!
Quote:Back Ally Brawler: Michal Dorn
Positron: Corey Burton.
Synapse: Seth Green.
Sister Psy: Venus Terzaro
Again - stamp of approval.
Quote:Ghost Widow: Jennifer Hale
Miss Liberty: Tara Strong.
I'd switch the above two and have Hale do Liberty and Strong do Ghost Widow.
Quote:Citadel: Keith David
I can see it.
Quote:Nemesis: Christopher Lee
Dude - you are really going for a high water mark here, aren't you? That would be awesome.
Quote:Romulus: Brian Blessed
Now that - that is inspired. Really. Cause how often has Romulus spoke in anything LESS THAN A STENTORIAN BELLOW??? ^_^

Quote:Romulus: BRIAN BLESSED!!!!
Fixed the spelling on that for you. Quote:Sister Psy: Venus Terzaro
Do you mean Venus Terzo, from Ranma and Transformers and about 150 other things?
Out of sheer perverseness, I have to suggest the inverse of this just for fun -- the worst possible performers for the roles. Let me start with these:
Lord Recluse: Woody Allen
Ghost Widow: Tress Macneille (doing her Dot Warner voice)
-- Bob

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

That'll be for the infamous "Cold Pizza Nightmare" episode. Also featuring States-Mite, voiced by Scott McNeill (doing his Duo Maxwell voice).

I'm just amused at how you all cannot handle the wrath and majesty of the O'HURLEYCANE.
So, for Statesman: John O'Hurley

Shawn Wallace might make a good VA for Nemesis, too. He's brilliant as Vizzini, at the least.

A few more suggestions:
Countess Crey: Monica Belucci or Marina Syrtis.
Percy Winkley: Wil Wheaton (because Wil's in every damn cartoon these days)
General Z: Ben Schultz (aka Leeroy Jenkins)

actuly, had a good idea (if slightly) wrong for the Clockwork King.
a male Version of GlaDoS.
now thats nightmare fule
Ebony Wrote:Percy Winkley: Wil Wheaton (because Wil's in every damn cartoon these days) Oddly, enough, that was my reasoning behind adding Frank Welker to the list. 
I also have to take credit for BRIAN BLESSED, and that stems from the TF itself:
Romulus: (Insert the I AM NICTUS bellow)
DS: Did Romulus just order a Large Ham?
Me: So that means Romulus is voiced by BRIAN BLESSED?
But on the Nemesis debate, my vote went to Peter Cullen using his KARR voice.
Also, for sheer wrongness: as Dr. Vahzilok: Tim Curry!
And for Statesman: Tim Daly (the titular role from Superman: The Animated Series)

My personal recommendations:
Statesman/Recluse: these two actually HAVE voice actors in previous works, both in the CoV trailer and the recent Going Rogue trailer. I rather like their takes.
Hro'Dtohz/most Rikti: Frank Welker. Why, you ask? Well, this is the man that did Soundwave...
