Anybody know what Chris Jones (Tex Murphy) is doing these days?
Dominic Armato (Guybrush Threepwood) is apparently still doing games for LucasArts.
Tim Curry (Gabriel Knight 1 and 3) was Mr. French in that remake of A Family Affair. I don't know about Dean Erickson (Gabriel Knight 2).
Cam Clarke (Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist) is still doing games as well as animated TV series.
Currently Playing: Adventure Game: Broken Age Darkside: Star Wars: The Old Republic

I had heard that during the making of Phantasmagoria the actors playing Don and Adrienne were together; but guess that didn't last long after the filming was done........

Ah, but the one I'm most interested in is the one who played the Devil in Faust, who also played in LEGEND OF THE PROPHET AND THE ASSASSIN. Shiver, shiver.
Another one, but in a much different sense, was the actor who played the father/grandfather in BLACKSTONE CHRONICLES.

A new Tex Murphey game sounds great.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

As Jenny100 pointed out, the Internet Movie Database site is a great place to check out whatever your favourite actors are doing (or anyone else in the movie business). Some video games (esp. ones with FMV) are also covered. Follow the above link to see what Geoffrey Bateman's been doing - by the titles, I would guess he lives in France now? SuMac, Brad Dourif has had a pretty high profile year playing Wormtongue in The Two Towers. John Rhys-Davies (as Gimli) as well. Actually, that Ripper cast is pretty robust. Paul Giamatti might be up for a best actor nomination next spring at the Oscars for American Splendor. Christopher Walken is...well, very successful, and just awesome. And last I heard, Karen Allen might be written into the next Indy movie. BTW, please go to The Unofficial Tex Murphy Site for new Tex game news - I'm not sure exactly where things stand right now.

I remember that Sierra used to have a magazine called InterAction that was all about their games, hints, tech help, answering questions, etc. Anyway, right after GK2 I remember seeing the actress who played Grace (She is probably my favorite character in any computer game) in a commercial, but I forget now what the commercial was. Sierra's magazine had a feature where you could write in if you saw one of their products in a movie (like a Sierra game in the background in a movie) or one of their characters in something else, etc. If you were the first to write in, I think you won a free game. I wrote in about seeing the Grace character, but I wasn't the first one, so I didn't win anything. It was so weird, because I felt like I knew her when I saw her in the commercial!

Don't forget Brad Dourif's character Ensign Sudor on Star Trek: Voyager.
