The voice actors of the original Thief games (hammerites, guards, mechs, Garrett, etc) - I wonder where we can hear their voices, I mean in any films, other games or simply in an interview.
Does anybody know anything about this?

Most of them were the developers themselves, and other LGS employees.
Stephen Russell (Garrett, Benny/Dumb Guard, Karras, Elder Hammerite, Ninny Servant, Commoner) has four films out.
Dan Thron (Smart Guard, the Other Drunk Guard, The Eye, Ramirez, Apebeasts, Keeper) does some acting, though he's mainly a matte painter for films and commercials, now with Digital Domain, and has some acting bits you can find on YouTube.
Joffrey Spaulding (Constantine/Trickster and an Apebeast) has a couple of B-movies out.
Terri Brosius (Viktoria, Lily, Lauryl, Marla Madison, System Shock's SHODAN) can be heard singing as a member of the bands Tribe and The Vivs, as well as voicework in other video games.
Several non-LGS voices were provided by nearby theater actors, along with Stephen Russell, and have done most of their work outside of film and video games and are harder to see/hear without going to see them on stage.
Nate Wells (Artemus and various Keepers) has done some voice-acting in games and been a member of at least one band (Bang Camaro).
But yeah, many of the voices are just level designers, programmers, artists, and only Stephen Russell and Joffrey Spaulding in the list above come from theater and weren't LGS employees.

Wow, that's pretty damn impressive. I always thought the Hammerites were great. My favorite is the guy who says "Swing brother, swing!".

Yes, that voice is awesome. I also really like guard1 or guard2 (I don't know), who shouts "I'll teach you a thing or two".

lost_soul: That's TDP/Gold's Hammer 2, voiced by Geoff Stewart, a hired voice-actor, who also did one of the prisoner voices.
ticky: That's TMA's Sword Guard 1, voiced by Dan Thron (he played both archers yelling at each other in Life of the Party!).

Just found out that joffrey spaulding died a couple of years ago.:(
here's what i wrote
"What was it like doing some of the voice acting in thief 1 and 2 do you have any good memories of it. i loved the voice of Constantine what a villain you still doing any voice acting now .
Here's a reply from his son joffrey spaulding jnr
"oh hey brother. I appreciate the sentiments, but I am actually Joffrey Spaulding Jr. My dad passed away a couple of years ago, but I am sure he is still off doing some acting somewhere now. He would love the compliment. Thank you and take care."
This is what i wrote back
"Sorry to hear that I didn't know I bet he is doing some acting right about now with that constantine grin. cheers for responding take care
