The voice of the Trader

[Ka Faraq Gatri]

So, assuming the Trader is an NPC and not just a drop box of some sort, who should do the voice?
I know it'll actually be an experienced video game voice actor, but let's go wild and pitch any Canadian performer.

My suggestions:
Brent Butt
Colin Mochrie

What's your ideal casting?

[Bobywan]

Ewan McGregor !
"Hello there"

[Rhapsody]

David Hayter

Well, McGregor's not Canadian, but I'll allow it.

Hayter in an Arsene Lupin style or more Solid Snake ?

Jennifer might think it is weird talking to herself as she already has a role as the female voice of Astrid in both Survival mode and Wintermute.

Morgan Freeman

Steven Smith Jr. from the Red Green show.

I know he's not Canadian, but I would love it if Nicolas Cage did the voice.

Though, having Jeremiah end up being the Trader would be an interesting twist.

Donald Sutherland. "Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"

Awesome call. They would have to add duct tape to the game though. Keep your stick on the ice.

Duct tape is already in the game!!
I see it all over my worn clothing.

I never hear her though because I disable the character monologue

Or maybe Jennifer Kitchen with Molly as the trader.

Now, that would also be an interesting twist too. She might have some unique "prison contraband" from the inmates she has hunted down and done away with.
Methuselah would also be an unexpected twist- he has a way of suddenly appearing out of nowhere, which would come in handy for a mysterious traveling trader.

As much as I do think Nicolas Cage would be hilarious, one of the voice actors who voiced one of the more notable Wintermute characters would allow for a tie-in between Story Mode and Survival Mode.

Oh god, I wasted way too much time this morning looking up Cage quotes after realizing how awesome this would be only to realize that there's too many too choose from.

Seriously, some modder, just go take a few compilation videos, take all the audio and profanity, and bam, trader role is done.....
