Why didn't Reno do the English voice acting


Paul Mercier sounds nothing like Reno, Why would they let him do the english lines if Reno can speak english, his accent would have been awesome.

I can't imagine Jean Reno making a couple hundred thousand even for a movie. He's a good actor but I wouldn't exactly put him in the A or even B list category as far as paychecks go, atleast in Hollywood. But I don't think franch pays their actors like America does either though, so I don't know. My guess is that he got about 20 to 30 thousand for the game.

"check the trivia section"

it seems there is no trivia section for this game on IMDB...

And for the record, I was hugely disappointed when Blanc's voice changed from Reno's to Merciers. It just sounds cheesy and totally Americanised, even Ako seems like something from a Disney movie. I'd honestly rather they kept Reno's voice, even if it meant they kept him talking french and subtitled it. To me, that would have been far more interesting, to hear the interplay of two languages like that.

Jean Reno didn't have time in his schedule to voice the entire game.

Okay I'm over it now, I'm used to Reno not being the voice of Jacques.
But it still would have been fantastic beyond belief.
Heh, Imagine going to a movie and seeing your favourite actor dubbed over.
