The Voice of Iorek: Ian McShane

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:05 pm
Note: We're less and less sure about this news. See here for the complications, though they were originally voiced below too.

The veteran British character actor, Ian McShane, best known for his part in the Western series “Deadwood” and as Lovejoy, will voice Iorek in the upcoming The Golden Compass movie. McShane's involvement was mentioned in the Washington Post and the article's author revealed to us that the actor will be voicing the King of the Bears. Note: there's a possibility that this means Iofur but Iorek would seem the more obvious role to fill this early on; we're following this up to try to clarify it

You can view a commercial for “Deadwood” which features Ian McShane here: at about 0:36 he says “No one gets out alive.”

Arriving Somewhere (but not here) says:

Wow, you seem to have complained about all the cast picks huh Adiam? Well I understand that it's and your entitled a opinion, but I have had enough of your opinion. Keep it to your self man this moive will be sucsess with or without your support.

And just like with Nicole your wrong again. Ian McShane has the perfect voice just watch "Deadwood". (I would have said you were wrong about Eva too, but I havent seen any of her moivies.) :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Arrive….because i have no other possibility to contact you I try it thus although it's wrong.With wrongest I only wanted to express as badly I found the choice.I have mentioned with no word she is a bad actress.I respect your opinion about my image of the actors so I ask you the same what concerns mine.I hate none of these actors or find them badly,however,in 'mine film' these were others.Even if you cannot see my opinion any more is still mine.I stand to what I has written about the crew.I not always want to justify myself because I do not agree.I hope very much you will not want to write to each of mine posts a remark,above all,those.All the same how many :smile: :smile: :wink: :wink: you place behind the sentences.Nevertheless,here this should be great fun and bring on no impertinence.

Sorry Adiam, I had a bad day at work and I took it out on you, my deepest apologies.

Adiam21 says:

If this is your seriousness then I accept the excuse very much with pleasure. I do not want to have problems at the beginning. :smile: :smile:

Arriving Somewhere (but not here) says:

I am Serious, it was very wrong of me to reply to you like that. I yes yelled at quite badly that day, :wink: but nothing justified me to reply like that.

JD says:

He has a great voice and played the badass to end all badasses on "Deadwood", which should wipe "Lovejoy" off the books. A very appropriate choice for Iorek.
