EA Confirms C&C3 Voice List News

Electronic Arts has today confirmed the voice list for the long-awaited Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, which will be released on PC during 2007.

Besides the already confirmed Joe "Kane" Kucan, the line-up includes Joe Kucan (Sawyer in LOST), Michael Ironside (Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian in Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi), and Tricia Helfer (Number Six in Battlestar Galactica), as well as real-life US newscasters John Huck and Shanon Cook.

Executive Producer Mike Verdu explains, "Telling a story with a mix of live action and high-end movie-quality computer graphics has been one of the hallmarks of the Command & Conquer (C&C) series. I am delighted that we are bringing the rich game world and epic story for C&C 3 to life with an amazing cast and stunning CG effects - and I can't wait for gamers to see the results. These very talented actors have added tremendous depth and dimension to the C&C 3 game experience."

"When I realised that I wasn't going to be a computer-generated character, but playing a live action role in the C&C 3 game, I was really looking forward to see what was in store," said Tricia Helfer, famous for her role in the Scifi television series "Battlestar Galactica." "Having completed my shoots for the game recently, I can honestly say that it was one of the most fun projects I've worked on...and my costume was awesome."

"This is the most fun I've had since Star Wars!" said Billy Dee Williams, celebrated actor, on the set of the live action shoot for C&C 3. "The game's story and universe are immersive and drew me right in. I was intrigued by my character, GDI Director Redmond Boyle, because he has more depth than I expected from a video game personality. His polished exterior gradually breaks down as the world is plunged into chaos and he eventually shows his true nature under extreme pressure."
