JohnnyVendetta Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Can't find the non-confirmed cast thread for some reason so I'll just post it here. Was watching The Wire and noticed this guy: He's Stephen Schnetzer. Pretty sure he's Dr Isiah Friedlander. Seems to fit the profile to be cast in a Rockstar game given he's done previous video game voice acting work and had a guest appearance on Law and Order There voices are also sound distinctively alike. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRkL3AD3R Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've listened to Danny Tamberelli (grew up on his show in the 90s) and can say without a doubt the voice is a match. I've listened to Trevor, Michael, and Franklin's supposed voice actors; they all sound like perfect matches. But this guy? Sorry, but he just doesn't sound anything like the therapist. Not even close. And as far as visuals go, it's an extremely loose similarity and frankly, I just don't think he's the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR7 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 He's been in Law and Order. It's him. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0774156/ being in law and order doesn't automatically lead to being a GTA voice actor. After looking at a clearer picture of him I can't really see the resemblance, try and find a video to compare voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazloisdavrock Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Was just watching a video of him on youtube......

After looking at a clearer picture of him I can't really see the resemblance, try and find a video to compare voices. I was being slightly sarcastic, although there is some truth to it. Many of the characters we know about have appeared in Law and Order. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URIEqpUjD1E Just watched the video and I believe it is him. As lazloisdavrock said, I can also hear him saying "What do you want Michael". He is just lowering his voice in that clip. Nice find.

Alright that video convinced me a bit more, he does look more similar in motion however his voice is much deeper than the therapist so I'm still skeptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic_Al Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Law & Order isn't particular to GTA actors, but Rockstar's headquarters and voice and motion capture is done mainly in New York , and Law & Order is on many New York actors' resumes because it filmed there for two decades and needed a lot of guest stars. It practically became a credential. Article explaining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It practically became a credential. Article explaining it. I was sorta poking fun at the whole Law & Order/GTA Voice acting connection which is why I referenced it. Only reason I noticed is when I heard his voice and looked up to see him. He has somewhat of a range in his voice and after checking IMDB I'm almost positive it's him. I don't typically post here unless I'm pretty confident so I guess we'll have to see in 3 weeks when we get a complete list of the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sborges91 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 While I'm still not sure of Schnetzer being Dr. Friedlander, here is something else to help support the theory. Jeff Wincott (who confirmed on his Facebook) that he was in GTA V appeared in the same episode of The Wire as Schnetzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
