So I just went to see John Rhys-Davies Wiki page, and man, what have I found!
Quote:John Rhys-Davies (born 5 May 1944) is a Welsh actor and voice actor. He is perhaps best known for playing the charismatic Arab excavator Sallah in the Indiana Jones films and the dwarf Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He also played Agent Michael Malone in the 1993 remake of the 1950s television series The Untouchables, Pilot Vasco Rodrigues in the mini-series Shōgun, Professor Maximillian Arturo in Sliders, King Richard I in Robin of Sherwood, General Leonid Pushkin in the James Bond film The Living Daylights, and Macro in I, Claudius. Additionally, he provided the voices of Cassim in Disney's Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Man Ray in SpongeBob SquarePants, and Tobias in the computer game Freelancer.

I had no idea! There are so many wonderful voice actors in Freelancer, though, I'm not surprised. It's a truly amazing cast, once you start reading through the credits.
I noticed the first time I got to this point in the game (think it was about the time LOTR came out), of course as one of the best characters in space.
You've also got George Takei as Hakkera (noticed this too), and Juni is voiced by Jennifer Hale - FemShep - although I didn't know her until after playing Mass Effect.
Freelancer never stops amaze me. John Rhys-Davies is not that surprise, since he played a major role in Wing Commander III and IV and Prophecy (I think), but George Takei was Hakkera? Whaaaaaaaaat.
Yeah John Rhys-Davies has done an absolute ton of stuff. Jennifer Hale, too, has made a career out of doing video game and animation voices, it's really amazing when you look at her list of credits. It's far longer than most well-known Hollywood actors. Same with a lot of voice actors, who you otherwise never heard of. BTW Morrigan from Dragon Age... Claudia Black right there =D
Look up Ian Ziering on IMDb ... OMG its like Trent reborn, LOL
