We are just eight days away from the release of Critical Role‘s animated adaptation, The Legend of Vox Machina, on Amazon Prime. Up until today, the only casting we knew for sure was that the original crew of the campaign was returning to their roles and Matthew Mercer was taking on the villain Sylas Briarwood. Who would be filling the shoes of all the additional NPCs (nonplayable characters) has been up for speculation from the beginning. And now that speculation is over and I can’t stop fangirling about who they got to step into these roles.
Critical Role took to YouTube to share a video showcasing the additional cast coming to the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina alongside Mercer, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, Sam Riegel, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson and Liam O’Brien. The first character, and by far one of my favorite, was Shaun Gilmore. The fiesty and suave magical vendor has become a beloved character within the community and will be voiced by Sunil Malhotra. And speaking of beloved characters, we also learned that Indira Varma is voicing Lady Allura Vysoren and Lady Kima of Vord is being voiced by Stephanie Beatriz.
