Hey all
It's not often that I post 'round here, but I've been playing the Thief series since it first started, and lurking around ttlg almost as long.
I thought some people might be interested to hear that I met Stephen Russell the other day on Cape Cod, in MA. He works there as an actor during the summer, and a girl I shot a film with has known him for years and introduced us. Very lovely man, much older than I expected, with a great bushy beard.
Of course I asked him about Thief IV, and he said that no one has contacted him yet about reprising his role as Garrett. But he also said that voice work is one of the last things to be ironed out in game development, so there's still a good chance that Garrett will return.
Also, he told me that originally Garrett was supposed to be Scottish. How f*cking awesome would that have been?
Thiefy love to all,
Cap
edit: balls. of course I misspell his name in the thread subject. apologies...

That's so cool! Did you ask him to do a Benny for you?

Very cool indeed, did you get his John Hancock? It would of been an honor to meet him. A beard? I wonder if thats for a play he's in.

Soap MacTavish has the same stupid scar over his right eye that Garrett got installed in TDS. And Soap is Scottish.

Didn't realize he was Canadian. Wonder if that's accurate?

Oh that image of him has been posted for awhile now.
