Scarface cast announced

By Ellie Gibson Published 4 May, 2006

James Woods! Ice-T! Gervais!

Vivendi has unveiled the cast list for Scarface: The World is Yours, revealing that several actors who starred in the original movie will also appear in the game.

That won't include Pacino himself, since - as a Vivendi bigwig told us recently - he's getting on a bit and isn't able to do the voice any more. But you can expect to see Robert Loggia, who plays Frank Lopez, Steven Bauer (Manny Ribera) and Al Israel (Hector the Toad).

You'll also see Pacino's likeness in the game. Tony Montana's voice will be provided by an actor who was hand picked by Mr P himself, and who does rather a good job at it actually.

Making up the rest of the cast is a long list of stars, including movie veterans James Woods, Elliott Gould and Michael York, plus Richard Roundtree (Shaft!) and Rick Yune (the baddie off Die Another Day!). There will also be voice performances from Cheech, Chong and Jason Mewes (but not Silent Bob, for obvious reasons).

As for people off the telly, they've got Daniel Day Kim (Jin off of Lost), Willa Holland (Kaitlin off of The O.C.) and Ricky Gervais (is he in Fawlty Towers or something?). Oh, and Bam Margera of Jackass fame.

Stars from the world of music include Tommy Lee (who's also a star of the Internet, of course), Ice-T and N.O.R.E., plus B. Real and Sen Dog out of Cypress Hill. And as if all that wasn't enough, Vivendi says additional cast members will be announced later in the year.

Scarface: The World is Yours is out this autumn on PC, PS2, Xbox and PSP.

    "he's getting on a bit and isn't able to do the voice any more"
    Translation: We don't have that much money to pay for an A-list actor.

  • AHiFi #4 6 years ago

    That's one heck of a list...I expected it to end at James Woods...

  • Markusdragon #5 6 years ago

    Ricky Gervais O_o.

  • yonno #6 6 years ago

    if theyre plowing this much cash into the voices the game must really blow

    "he's getting on a bit and isn't able to do the voice any more"

    yeah cos we can all see how much of a shit actor pacino is now, they couldnt afford him, hence all the minor tv personalities (the guy from lost whos never said anything in english, c'mon)

  • deepmenace #7 6 years ago

    i'd heard that pacinos' accent has been so americanised that he couldn't do the voice now that he did back then for the film.

    not seen season 2 then?

  • Triggerhappytel #9 6 years ago

    Geez, that really is quite an impressive c-list cast. Although I have to admit, I'll be very surprised if the game doesn't suck balls. And read 'he's getting on a bit' as 'we could afford his likeness but not his voice'.

  • Derblington #10 6 years ago

    Willa Holland - Mmmm, jailbait.

  • w00t #11 6 years ago

    'the guy from lost whos never said anything in english'

    Who happens to be a fluent English speaker and has his Korean in Lost mocked by Koreans as he has had to learn it for the show? I think you'll find he's American...

  • Zuiyo #12 6 years ago

    Whose world is this? (The world is yours, the world is yours) It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this? (The world is yours, the world is yours) It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this? (The world is yours, the world is yours) It's mine, it's mine,

    Repeat.

    Repeat, repeat, repeat.

  • peterfll #13 6 years ago

    God, Gervais is in everything these days, they'll be giving him away with cornflakes sooner or later.

  • firm3d #14 6 years ago

    More importantly, Daniel Dae Kim is Rikimaru from the Tenchu games! ... I'm thinking that's "more importantly" just to me ...

  • Sko #15 6 years ago

    "Oh, and Bam Margera of Jackass fame."

    Don't really see him bringing any 'celeb' to the table as his 15 mins is surely up, right? Is he a competant voice actor or was Jade Goody just too busy to do it?

  • Kay #16 6 years ago

    Yeah, Nas should have been in there instead of Ice-T.

    Edit: Not Snoop Dogg, Ice-T silly.

    Let's hope the fucker suffocates in the box...

  • Mr_Whacker #18 6 years ago

    Does anybody care about this stuff? Personally I don't even want to listen to talking in games nevermind the same inane celebrities that invade every other corner of life. Its a low effort way to boost the product's profile but I reckon its just a waste of cash that could have gone to more QA, extra playable content - the stuff I do notice. After all, its supposed to be a game not the latest edition of Heat.

  • asphaltcowboy #19 6 years ago

    "(the guy from lost whos never said anything in english, c'mon)"

    lol! not watched any of 24 Season 2 then? :D

  • reality_cheque #20 6 years ago

    The idea of this gets worse every minute. I'd rather have an awesome game than one featuring 'celebs', especially retards from Jackass.

  • Genji #21 6 years ago

    Wow, people sure seem to hate this game. Even before its out and everything.

    I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

  • Azazel #22 6 years ago

    God Ted, this is a very cynical thread... and i'm very cynical as you know.

  • valli #23 6 years ago

    But I want Chi Chi back:

    "Chi Chi, get the yeyo!"
    "Sí mang, no te apure' mang".

  • Halo.Jones #24 6 years ago

    Bloody hell, what is it with this fascination people have regarding Ricky Gervais?

    The more the better, then everyone will be sick of the guy and he can disappear without a trace.

  • Darkedge #25 6 years ago

    I wait for the day that the one joke arsewipe that is Gervais finally sinks out of view.

  • reality_cheque #26 6 years ago

    @Genji: "Wow, people sure seem to hate this game. Even before its out and everything."

    It's not the GAME we hate, it's the fact that they're selling it by getting people like Gervais and Margera on the books as if their input is a good thing. Personally I'd rather they made a good game with no famous voice actors than an average game because they were too busy spending the dev cash on what is effectively a gimmick.

  • Razzajazz #27 6 years ago

    Apparently, I heard that Pacino is voicing another character in the game, but not Tony Montana, so I'm not so sure if it is a question of not being able to afford him. That may be bull, however, so don't pay me much attention! ;)

  • peterfll #28 6 years ago

    Gervais is the new voice of Tony the Tiger from Frosties. He's ggggggeeereat.

  • megastar #29 6 years ago

    im sure tony the tiger is a bit - y'know - happy!

  • Azazel #30 6 years ago

    I once heard someone actually speak the words: "Ricky Gervais is much funnier than Bill Hicks."

    I then spoke the words: "Get the fuck out of my caravan."

  • SueDenim #31 6 years ago

    " if theyre plowing this much cash into the voices the game must really blow "

    ...

    ...

    why?

    I fail to see the correlation.

  • PearOfAnguish #32 6 years ago

    Bam Margera? In a Scarface game?
    This is going to be a waste of time. The developers should give up now.

    Wow, people sure seem to hate this game. Even before its out and everything.

    Both a movie licence AND a GTA clone. It's a lost cause.

    Damn, moaners.

    All you [expletive deleted] are gonna pay, you are the ones who are the [expletive deleted]. We're gonna [expletive deleted] your mothers while you watch and cry like little [expletive deleted].

  • Genji #34 6 years ago

    "Both a movie licence AND a GTA clone. It's a lost cause."

    Pfft. Vice City was a clone of Scarface, anyway.

    I'm not that optimistic about this game, but I can't just write it off after looking at a few screenies.
