Which Hollywood Actor has been chosen to voice Mass Effect 3's newest character?



Mass Effect 3 will introduce James Vega, a new character whose journey through the story is included to help newcomers understand the trilogy. The voice actor for him is................


Freddie Prinze Jr!


Vega is this man, Fred from Scooby Doo. Zoinks!

OK, OK, he also has sci-fi/video game acting chops, as Lt. Blair in 1999's Wing Commander (a flop that made Scooby-Doo look like A Passage to India). Well, anyway, at least it's not Nolan North, right?

You can get Prinze's take on Vega and Mass Effect (he's played the first two games, he says) in this GameTrailers TV excerpt from yesterday.

I miss Freddie back in the late 90s/early 2000s

I know what you did last summer

That one movie with Rachel something

And that's it?

I think you mean this one:


and yeah, Freddie was highly crushable in the late 90s. Liked him on the final season of 24 too, even if he didn't have all that much to do.
[info]juggarnut 23rd-Jan-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
Yea that movie! I still remember when he and Ryan Phillipe were the teen heartthrobs. Oh how time has changed!

AM I A BET? AM I A FUCKING BET?
[info]luvthatdrtywata 23rd-Jan-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
that movie is most relevant because it was a jumping off point for this masterpiece...

title or description

one of the most underrated movies ever. no lie.

He was my fangirl crush back in the day
[info]winniechili 23rd-Jan-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
I like how this is tagged with SMG.
[info]winegums 23rd-Jan-2012 01:08 am (UTC)
me too. But they seem like a sweet couple, lol.
[info]wonderwomanhero 23rd-Jan-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
Lol yeah I didn't know what to put. Should I keep it or get rid of the tag?
[info]winegums 23rd-Jan-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
keep it, I guess. Better to have a tag w. some connection to him than no tag.
[info]fresh_or_sea 23rd-Jan-2012 04:01 am (UTC)
lol when I saw the tag I was kind of hoping it was her... just doing a really deep voice...
[info]seraficradiance 23rd-Jan-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
James Vega and Kaiden are going to Eiffel Tower my Male!Shep, if I have anything to say about it
[info]ritaamber 23rd-Jan-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
what is the story behind your avatar bb. i see him in lots of stuff but know very little
[info]seraficradiance 23rd-Jan-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
From the show LOST. The final season was kind of just a big giant mess with some alternate universe (but not really alternate!) stuff happening. This guy was fan favorite bad guy when he first showed up in the show and in the last season he returned and during a very tense scene he blirts out that he makes good eggs. Good egg MEME was born
[info]flowerssleeping 23rd-Jan-2012 01:08 am (UTC)
i saw him at an ATM once /csb
[info]sarahkate24 23rd-Jan-2012 01:08 am (UTC)
<3 him but in all his movies he looks like he's 2 seconds away from vomiting. in EVERY scene.
[info]myrasis 23rd-Jan-2012 01:09 am (UTC)
I was really hoping Vega would turn out to be that sexy sniper from the VGA trailer, forever disappointed that he wasn't.
[info]rakugaking 23rd-Jan-2012 01:11 am (UTC)
Was really disappointed we didn't get Sexy British Sniper.

Freddy deserves a hotter looking character.
[info]myrasis 23rd-Jan-2012 01:18 am (UTC)
Yeah, Vega doesn't do it for me at all, he reminds me of a monkey. :/
[info]mofo_pig 23rd-Jan-2012 01:25 am (UTC)
Love your icon! Isn't it from when ED-E says she loves humans on their knees?
[info]tv_on_mute 23rd-Jan-2012 07:04 am (UTC)
mte!!
[info]carmensans 23rd-Jan-2012 01:09 am (UTC)
See people, Freddie is alive. He needs to come back on Psych!
[info]greyzombies 23rd-Jan-2012 01:09 am (UTC)
My body is so ready for this game.
[info]professor_chaos 23rd-Jan-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
It's not like he has an acting career to keep him busy so why not
[info]superdogbiter 23rd-Jan-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
all I WANT IS FOR MY CHARACTER TO ROMANCE JOKER
THOSE FUCKERS KNOW WE WANT THAT OPTION

[info]dandyinmypants 23rd-Jan-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
Funny enough, my boyfriend and I were having a conversation about Freddy Prinze Jr yesterday while he was playing Mass Effect. It was in the stars.
[info]wonderwomanhero 23rd-Jan-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
lol that's what I was going for bb ;)
[info]livingsign 23rd-Jan-2012 01:12 am (UTC)

i almost choked on my joint

in other news i can't wait for mass effect 3
[info]chumpthreads 23rd-Jan-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
Did you save Ashley or Kaiden?

Follow-up question: Is Ashley the best/worst space racist of all time?
[info]seraficradiance 23rd-Jan-2012 01:15 am (UTC)
Saved ashley by accident but I never used Kaiden so I didn't care, but then I played ME2 and hated Ashley so much. Im gonna replay so he lives in hopes of banging him in ME3
[info]crazyfruitlady 23rd-Jan-2012 10:33 pm (UTC)
I thought Kaiden was even more annoying in ME2 than Ashley. I can at least understand why she might be a bit snappy. He was just a complete arsehole.

[info]myrasis 23rd-Jan-2012 01:22 am (UTC)
I don't like Ashley too much, but she has her reasons for not wanting aliens brought on board for a super-special secret mission and for initially not trusting them.

Kaiden.

Yes, one of the reasons why I decided not to save her.
[info]wonderwomanhero 23rd-Jan-2012 01:23 am (UTC)
Ashley is a space racist. Do the math. lololololol
[info]dazeyhaze 23rd-Jan-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
Kaidan. Hardly ever used Ashley since my Shepard was a soldier.
[info]ukesenshi 23rd-Jan-2012 01:30 am (UTC)
Kaiden.

I made a FemShep since Mass Effect IS HOMOPHOBIC!!! and Ashley made it really easy for me to want her dead even ignoring the fact that I wanted in Kaiden's pants.

... and then I ended up liking Liara more anyway LOLOLOLOL leave it to BioWare to turn me straight / into a lesbian.

It's all irrelevant though because MexGarrus is OTP
[info]lostinshalott 23rd-Jan-2012 01:36 am (UTC)
Kaiden I hated Ashley and besides I was busy wooing Kaiden to care about her.
[info]xxheartstringsx 23rd-Jan-2012 09:53 am (UTC)
Ashley!

Even though Ash is a racist at first, you can buddy up to her to change the tide. It's a little more work to obtain her trust but it is totally worth it. I'd rather listen to her tiny bitch fests than Kaiden's whining.

why oh why can't femshep romance Ashley? Bah
[info]msloserrific 23rd-Jan-2012 06:29 pm (UTC)
I saved Kaiden.

But her alien racism was tired and my Shepard was banging Kaiden so it was a no brainer. But then Kaiden flipped the fuck out in ME2, so...
[info]crazyfruitlady 23rd-Jan-2012 10:34 pm (UTC)
I saved Ashley because she was useful.

I didn't find her that racist, and plenty of people would feel the same. Hell, I go through the game shouting "FUCKING KROGAN!" and "UGH!!! Salarian. Yes, yes, bring on the bitching." The races have clear stereotypes and as an Alliance officer it doesn't seem odd at all to me that she'd be uneasy at having aliens on her shape.

I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO BUT I'M STILL EXCITED.
