Loads of TV goodness cast in Mass Effect 2 video game

You know I’m a bit of a gamer and a TV buff, so when the two come together it’s brilliant. The guys and gals at BioWare have just announced some more voice acting talent in Mass Effect 2 and there’s plenty of TV / science fiction folk to make a gaming geek squee with delight.

First up comes word that none other than Tricia Helfer – Number Six in Battlestar Galactica – will feature as EDI, the voice of the Normandy (that’s the ship in Mass Effect). As well as Tricia another Battlestar alumn – Michael Hogan who played Saul Tigh – will feature as Captain Bailey. Actor Martin Sheen stars as the mysterious Illusive Man who commands Cerberus. Chucks sexy spy Yvonne Strahovski plays deadly Cerberus operative Miranda Lawson, who has been genetically engineered for superior mental and physical traits.

Returning to the cast from the original Mass Effect is Seth Green as Joker and Keith David as Admiral David Anderson. And rounding out the vocal roster are Carrie-Ann Moss as Aria T’Loak, the crime lord who rules the planet Omega; Shohreh Aghdashloo as Admiral Shala’Raan vas Tonbay (most recently seen as the sultry voice of Agent Noh’s demise in FlashForward, Adam Baldwin as Kal ‘Reegar (Jayne in Firefly) and Michael Dorn as Gatatog Uvenk (Worf in STNG and DS9). Now tell me you’re not geeked out.
