At Comic-Con which is taking place in San Diego this week, THQ and Volition finally lifted the lid on some of the top-tier voice-talent they've brought in for
Saints Row: The Third and it's - if anything -
diverse. It also speaks volumes of the game's overall comedic and light tone, which we like.
Actress Sasha Grey (The Girlfriend Experience, Entourage) takes on the role of Viola DeWynter, who along with her twin sister Kiki, are the masterminds of the Syndicate’s financial empire. Through Viola and Kiki’s savvy, if not ruthless business sense, the Syndicate’s profits have increased ten-fold in Steelport.
Legendary professional wrestler Hulk Hogan steps into the role of Angel De LaMuerte, a legendary professional wrestler. Betrayed by his former tag-team partner Killbane, now the merciless leader of the Luchadores street gang, Angel teams with the Saints to take over Steelport, and exact his own brand of violent revenge.
Daniel Dae Kim (Saints Row 2, Lost, Hawaii Five-0) reprises his role as Johnny Gat, chief lieutenant of the Third Street Saints and your right-hand in Saints Row®: The Third™. Now an international celebrity, Gat is the epitome of high-class crime as he licenses his likeness to Saints clothing lines, Saints energy drinks, and even the classiest ride in Steelport, the Johnny Gat-mobile.
Sasha Grey is a pretty awesome addition, given the *ahem*
body *cough* of her work, and of course, you can't move past the Hulkster.
We have a few character renders of their respective roles you can check out

Hulkamania should be hilarious too, if he does his over the top wrestling voice.
Should be a good game.

Very interesting. Nice to see that they are continuing to take voice acting seriously. It can really make a game.
