we cannot keep having these baldurs gate 3 and critical role people voice acting every new game. we need random people. people whose only credits are random low budget live action TV shows. someone who just works in the same building as the localisation team. anything. please. if i hear matt mercer ever again there will be consequences

In my ideal world I would never see or hear an actor i have ever seen or heard before in anything. they would be brand new just-discovered nobodies every time.

this would be considered normal, because putting an actor that people recognize in a work of fiction would be just ludicrous. it would require the viewers to theorize that the story takes place in some alternate parallel universe where (famous actor) never became an actor and ended up being (whoever the hell this character is). and that is an absolutely unnecessary layer of suspension of disbelief to demand from your audience and why the hell would you do it

actors would be considered “overexposed” once they had been in more than 1 unconnected movie or show that could conceivably have been watched by any of the same people. They would be given a generous retirement package and expected to disappear from the public eye forever, so that movies featuring them could continue to be watched and considered believable due to not containing any obvious celebrities pretending to be something else. (And also so that the entire activity of keeping up with actors’ personal lives like they’re a damn soap opera ceases to exist)

i am extremely sane and you should elect me leader of the entertainment industry
