Over the course of its existence, the Fallout series had a decent cast of Hollywood stars providing various voices for its post-apocalyptic characters.  Of course, Ron Perlman always provides the iconic "War never changes" speech, but Fallout 3 also featured Malcolm McDowell as President John Henry Eden, and even Liam Neeson as the protagonist's father.  Its predecessor featured noted cartoon voice actor Charles Adler, as well as Michael Dorn, most famous for playing Worf on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Jeffrey Jones, most noted as Principal Ed Rooney from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and, more recently, for being a creepy pervert.  The first game may have had the most star-studded cast, with Keith David, Brad Garrett, Richard Moll, Tony Shalhoub, and McGyver himself, Richard Dean Anderson.  A USA Today story has revealed much of the cast of the next installment, Fallout: New Vegas, and this one might just trump all the rest.

In addition to Ron Perlman's totally expected return, we'll also see Michael Dorn reprise his role as Marcus, an intelligent Super Mutant who appeared in Fallout 2.  Joining them will be gaming icon Felicia Day, as "Veronica, a sarcastic Brotherhood of Steel scribe," Actor/Singer Kris Kristofferson as "Chief Hanlon, a grizzled solider at the end of his career," Friends star Matthew Perry as Benny, "A smooth-talking criminal but also a bit of a weasel," Zachary Levi of NBC's Chuck as the "quiet, analytical, and cautious" Arcade, and Danny Trejo as the awesomely named "Raul the Ghoul."  More importantly, the enigmatic and reclusive Mr. House will be played by Rene Auberjonois, who many of you may remember as Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but I'm old, so I remember him as Clayton from Benson.

Fallout 3 had some excellent voice work, but the addition of all these big name stars to the cast of the sequel lead me to believe that New Vegas will be an even more engaging story.  Of course, that all depends on the script.  Even the most gifted actor in the world still can't make a bad script good.  Just ask George Lucas.  He knows all about that stuff.
