Is it wrong that, for the voice of Starswirl the Bearded....

I want him to be voiced by Star Trek's own Sir Patrick Stewart?

 

Fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation know him as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise NCC-1701D.  Outside, he's a known Shakespearian Actor(And he also took on the role of Professor X in the X-Men series).  I figured that with his pedigree of acting, he would make a perfect Starswirl the Bearded should the character finally make an appearance(Also, we all know that John De Lancie of Star Trek the Next Generation fame is in the series as Discord).

 

What do you all think?  Do you think that Hasbro should hire Sir Patrick Stewart to voice Starswirl the Bearded?

Im so elated to know im not the only one who thought of this, it would be glorious if Starswirl and Discord can have a scene together in some form.  :maud:

Patrick steward is one of my favorite actors. That said, I think Ian Mckellan (Gandalf) or Christopher Lee (Saruman) would be a better choice. Stewart is an amazing voice actor, but those two sound more like the archetypal wizard character that Starswirl is.

I must have missed something - they're going to cast Starswirl this season? :)

 

Patrick Stewart really should be on this show in some form, but I have my doubts they'll get him.  While he's an awesome person, he's also extremely private, and very selective about what he does.  And I have to agree, if they're looking for a good wizard character, Ian McKellan would be my first pick, followed by Ian McKellan Christopher Lee - the latter would make a great villain voice, but from what I understand of Starswirl's character, he seems more like a Gandalf type.

 

(EDIT: Ian McKellan, followed by Ian McKellan?  I think it's time I went to bed...)

Personally I think he should be voiced by Morgan Freeman. Who better to provide all magical knowledge and exposition than god himself?

Although, Joun Luc would make for an interesting pony, as long as the borg do not appear.

I always cemented in my mind that Peter Cullen should voice him, especially since there's no way in hell we're gonna get such big name actors to work for this show

John Delancie isn't a big-name actor?  In some circles, he's even bigger a name than Patrick Stewart. :)

 

(Also, don't forget they got Weird Al to be on this show too. ;))

I'm not exactly sure who should do the voice-acting for Starswirl, but I have an idea of what he might sound like. Does anyone remember when Douglas Seale played Santa Claus in Ernest Saves Christmas? Is there anyone out there that sounds like him?

Stewart would probably do it for the lol's. The guy is a fan of animation and was featured in a few interviews in the 90's wearing a Beavis and Butthead tee-shirt which turned some heads back in the day.

 

Cost factor of nailing him could be mitigated by John DeLancie led sales pitch. :P

 

One scene with Discord screwing with a Stewart voiced Starswirl would make my geek heart a-splode.

I always imagined Starswirl haveing the voice of Christoper Lee. His deep, commanding voice sounds exactly like a powerful wizard should sound. Either him or Christopher Walken. :umad:

No, this just a what if/dream casting thread.

 

And I can totally hear it. Besides, if Pat isn't above voicing Seth McFarlane tripe, he shouldn't be above being on MLP.
