A regular voice actor who had appeared in "hundreds of commercials" by the time she was cast in Oni.
George Adams
On IMDb, the voice actor for Barabas is presented as the same person who voiced Cap'n Crunch in the '90s and '00s. Interestingly, he was featured in this Chicago Tribune article (Bungie was based in Chicago). If this is indeed the same person, George J. Adams, he was the voice of a well-known cereal mascot for the duration of many people's childhood, but surprisingly no known pictures of him exist on the Web. George Adams was also credited for a few voices in Wideload's (i.e. Alex Seropian's) Stubbs the Zombie.
Additional voices
Doug Zartman
- Comguys and a few generic males
- An old profile by Bungie.org
He's responsible for Marathon's famous "Frog blast the vent core!" phrase and other stuff. He has remained within the "Seropiansphere", credited on "Stubbs the Zombie", and most recently working as community manager on Battlefield Mobile (the title that Seropian's Industrial Toys was developing before it was cancelled).
Mickey O'Donnell
- Fury, female civilians
Apparently another relative of Marty O'Donnell, just like Bob O'Donnell.
