It’s kind of crazy to think I’ve watched enough interviews of Tommy Lee Wallace to claim I can recognize his voice in an instant, HOWEVER, that is exactly what I’m claiming.
I re-watched the opening scene of H2 just now and I’m pretty sure TLW voiced the actor who is opposite Loomis…
TLW has a very distinct cadence and a recognizable accent that I am pretty sure I can hear in this scene. I think they dubbed-in TLW’s voice.
I believe you are correct and in fact I think I’ve heard this confirmed before. TLW was John Carpenter’s go-to person for all manner of ADR and voiceover work for a number of years, and certainly was present for at least one session of ADR for H2 as the narrator of the movie marathon.
Yep! They dubbed his voice over the original actors. The original version is much more angry, and confrontational. I believe you can hear it in the TV cut
