Lance Henriksen to Feature in ACM

[ikarop]

On June 11, 2011 Gearbox Software had a Community Day for fans. The studio confirmed at the event that actor Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Alien 3, AvP, AvP 2010) is one of the guest stars set to lend his voice for the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines videogame. He will be playing Rook, a Weyland-Yutani synthetic.

“The synthetics manufactured by Weyland-Yutani all look the same, and so Lance [Henriksen] is involved. There’s a synthetic named Rook that has the same likeness as Lance, and the same voice. He’s Bishop from the movie.” – Randy Pitchford

Other guest appearances include William Hope (Aliens), who will be portraying Commander T. Shannon in the game. You can listen to a full recording of the panel and presentation here.

Exactly what I was hoping for, this is great news.

Also think it's great were gonna see Lance again.

[Sharp Sticks]

Man. These guys are in everything.

Could be Lance's most sensible cameo to date, actually.

I knew it! I thought about it yesterday, but I thought he`ll reprise role of Bishop, salvaged from Fiorina`s scrap heap and interogated by WY.

Lance Henriksen is proving more famous to this series than Sigourney Weaver.

This sounds like a good idea. And I'm glad he's the voice of the synthetic.

Listening to the audio from the conference - sounds like the whole 'crusher' thing is the result of an Alien being irradiated by the blast, not host traits.

Thanks ikarop.

Not surprised, good news.

[Corporal Hicks]

Hmm. What a coincidence. First they use the same ship name as in my virtual series. Now they use the same android name. I think I've been hacked xD

But that is good news. Also happy about the split-screen.

[Dowly]

Good news indeed.

[ikarop]

Not surprised, good news.

I wonder why

Thanks ikarop.

Indeed. I'm glad they went on record about that. People have been asking about the origins of the Crusher a lot.

Mutant xeno? Jeez..

[Bio Mech Hunter]

Epic news. Lance is the man. \m/
