Holy crap voice acting! (Destiny)

You know, we rip on Dinklebot a lot, but I finally(!) cracked open IMDB to actually see more about the various roles. Needless to say, I'm surprised. I mean, sure, Nathan Fillion and Lance Reddick (I accidentally typed "Henrikson" there twice) were no-brainers. I could listen to their voices all day. Gina Torres didn't even warrant a raised eyebrow; despite some gripes that I have about her acting capabilities in many roles, this is one type that she pulls off rather well. Claudia Black is a gimmie. John DiMaggio as Banshee was something that I facepalmed over not seeing sooner. Shohreh Aghdashloo is another person whose voice I can fall into. I've spent too much time listening to her.

Some of them, though, did surprise me.

The human female is Wonder Woman. Who saw that? The Exo Stranger is in the Vampire Diaries? Huh! Lord Shaxx informs people that their shotguns are anti-aircraft weapons? Arach Jalaal killed people in Fargo?!

The Awoken male needs to get out of people's bedrooms. (And he was in Halo Wars! No, not that guy. Not that guy, either.) Master Rahool is Generic Arab Father #7, despite being born in India. Hideo is Dexter's dad?!

Oh, hi Cree Summers! Loved you as Blackarachnia!

Ada Wong is Amanda Holiday. Suddenly, Lord Shaxx makes sense! He's Mr. Sinister! (There were better examples, but I couldn't resist.) Eva Levante was an acolyte of Count Doku. Apparently, Banshee used to fight alongside Xur against subterranian enemies with chainsaws!

Okay, Bungie. You need to get Phil La Marr, Richard Epcar, and Lance Henrikson for future DLC. Just throwing that out there.
