StarCraft II
Blizzplanet has reported that
Robert Clotworthy, the voice of Jim Raynor in
StarCraft, will not be returning to reprise his role in
StarCraft II.
I just found out today that I will not be returning as the voice of Jim Raynor. The casting director of Starcraft 2 contacted Blizzard and was told that they appreciated my work, but were going in another direction. I am obviously disappointed by their decision. I was looking forward to returning as Raynor and was hoping that Blizzard would at the very least have given me the opportunity of auditioning.
It has been my privilege to have been the voice of Jim Raynor. I am disappointed by Blizzard's decision, but I must respect it. I wish Blizzard only the best with StarCraft 2, and I am certain the game will live up to everyone's expectations. Thank you to all the fans who have given me their support and enthusiasm, it means a lot to me.
What does this mean for Raynor and his fans? Change is coming. While Mr. Clotworthy's voice will always have it's place in
StarCraft, a whole new Raynor has been presented to the players: an older, more depressed Raynor. With that drastic and sad change comes a new voice, one that StarCraft: Legacy is sure will find a different, but no less loved niche in our hearts.
