Dumb question: Who did Jack's voice, Pryce or Hamilton?

I was a fan of the show Cover Up, where Anthony Hamilton replaced Jon-Erik Hexum, so I was quite familiar with Hamilton and his voice. As soon as they started playing Jack's voice, I thought to myself, "That's Anthony Hamilton!" Then when Terri goes to meet Jack, Anthony Hamilton walks through the door before it's revealed that Jack is Jonathan Pryce.

The fact that the voice sounds exactly like Anthony Hamilton and then Anthony Hamilton walks through the door, seems like too big of a coincidence. However, I can't find any mention of AH doing Jack's voice.

So does anyone know which actor actually recorded Jack's lines?

Jonathan Pryce did the voice. It was clearly Jonathan Pryce. It sounded EXACTLY like him!!

Yeah, it would be really odd (and thankless to Pryce) if they had someone else do the voice but then have him only appear in the last 3 minutes of the film.

According to Jonathan Pryce, he was hired for the voice and the last scene. He recorded all the vocals first, then flew in for one day of shooting. Supposedly the guy or girl who cast him loved him in Brazil! So according to Jonathan, it was his voice. By the way, I heard this at a Q&A with Jonathan Pryce.
