I was going to suggest the bad guy in the Matrix, but as I pulled my copy of it out to find his name I notice it was



Hugo Weaving.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Yep, sure did. Hugo Weaving would be good. Also Jones' accent is just right.

James Cromwell or James Woods would be good choices.

I think he's getting a little to old to pull off Thrawn, and I don't think his voice would be quite appropriate.

True.

Hey! On a whim, why don't we use a female instead for grins and giggles. Heck of a twist... :P

My vote is for Everett McGill.

If you don't remember him, he was in charge of the mercenary force in (don't laugh) Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.
