Voice actor discussion


When I put in the application for TUGS on imdb I was told that the cast and crew would take longer to process than the other info so as far as I know the cast I put in went something like this

Cast
Patrick Allen - Narrator/Captain Star (voice)
Rest of Cast ....
Nigel Anthony - Big Mac/Hercules/Zebedee (voice)
John Baddeley - Top Hat/Zip (voice)
Sean Barrett - Warrior (voice)
Timothy Bateson - OJ/Lord Stinker (voice)
Lee Cornes - Grampus/Coast Guard (voice)
Mike Mulloy - (voice)
Simon Nash - Ten Cents (voice)
Shaun Prendergast - Sunshine/Zak (voice)
Chris Tulloch - Zorran (voice)

Please tell me if any more information has been discovered on the voices etc. as I can add them onto the site - hopefully these credits should show up soon, and I'll add the rest of the episodes.

Who does everyone think voiced Zug, Lillie Lightship, Captain Zero, Bluenose etc.?

I reckon Sean Barrett voiced Big Mac actually. He could have voiced Captain Zero as well. Nigel Anthony was a villan. I don't know who voiced Warrior. If you have IMDB pro you could ask the confirmed voice actors who voiced who.

Unfortunatly I believe that the cast 's listed characters have been assumed because of which characters sound alike (which is entirely logical and I'm not one to nag), maybe Mike Mulloy voiced Warrior? I'm sure there's at least 2 or 3 other cast members to be revealed yet. Is their any other crew members that could be contacted to find out this info- sorry to say that, like you I haven't got a credit card at the mo - maybe some1 on the forum has tho...

The voice cast is now up (for sunshine anyway. Is this the right cast? It's saying that Mike Mulloy voiced Captain Zero.

reply

I dunno about anyone else but i think the guy who voiced the maggot in Tim Burtons Corpse Bride sounds a hell of a lot like Zug?

reply

I saw Benny Hill recently. From what I've read Mike Mulloy was a stand in for Benny Hill. So he must have voiced the character who sounds nearest to Benny Hill. Benny Hill doesn't sound like a TUGS character but he does sound like Zug when he puts on a forrign accent. So my money is on Zug.

Nautical_Rudie, Don't suppose you could provide us with a sound clip of the guy who voiced the maggot. It's just that I like to see clips before deciding and I haven't seen Corpse Bride.I have done a bit of research and he's called Enn Reitel. He has alot of voice acting experience and he was in "Spitting Image". Sean Barrett I've read is an experience voice actor so Mr Reitel could be a very good choice as a voice artist.

Chris Tulloch who voiced Zorran was my teacher for 2 years at college, and what a great guy he is. The least arrogant person ive met who has worked on TV. And a very very nice bloke.

He told us he worked on tugs, but never told us he directed a few episodes, voiced and scripted them.

I was (still) part of the Star Tugs pier forum and Chris Tulloch was part of the fourm years ago. He isn't part of it now.

Shaun Prendergast was in an advert recently. Here is the link. He's the man at the desk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6-fBGyk03M

"Who does everyone think voiced Zug, Lillie Lightship, Captain Zero, Bluenose etc.?"

Been a while, and I never looked at the voice list, but from my very, very vague memories of the show, Lillie sounds like she could have been Fenella Fielding. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but I'm having a go I suppose!

I think Lee Cornes voiced Warrior BTW

This topic seems to have gone dead as of late, so I thought I'd reopen it with something that's been on my mind for a while. I've been wondering whether Sea Rogue's uncle and Old Rusty had a voice actor to themselves, or whether one of the other characters' actors could have played them. I honestly don't know - it seems odd to go to all that trouble to hire an actor just to play two characters (both of whom have very minor roles), but it's happened before, and I'm sure Mitton and Cardona would be willing to go the extra mile to get the best quality possible. Plus, I keep thinking I can hear another character's voice whenever I hear them speaking, but maybe I'm just hearing Old Rusty in Sea Rogue's uncle or vice versa (if that makes sense).

What does everybody else think?

reply

I think it was the same guy who voiced both.

reply

Agreed, but I think you misunderstood me (no offence). What I meant was, did the voice actor responsible for Sea Rogue's uncle and Old Rusty play any other characters (was he one of the ones whose name we've already uncovered?), or did he only play those two characters? I've been wracking my brain over it for ages.

PS. Incidentally, while we're on the subject, I am absolutely certain that whoever played Big Mac also played Captain Zero and Blair - if you listen to Zero's first line in "Sunshine" you can hear a trace of Big Mac in it.

when i first heard the narration voice i thought it was Peter Dickson, the voice of xfactor
