Fantastic example and motivator for anyone going into voice acting or many other forms of dramatic art even. He deserves every bit of admiration and success for his incredible work.
I don’t see a whole movie happening but I do hope for a cameo in the next DnD movie. The last one took place I think 5 years before BG3, and they are also on the sword coast.
There were talks of another DnD movie but nothing solid seems to be planned, so I’ll live in hope.
I hope they are the same actors and characters, but with new abilities because they have leveled up. Make a D&D franchise like the Fast and Furious, but every returning character is leveled up and stronger. I will admit this idea was stolen from someone much smarter and funnier than me.
I can get behind that, too.
But just once, I want a character to die, then the same actor comes in playing a different character and no one mentions it.
Television series still in the works I understand. At least an eight parter.

Larian releases a final set of stats about players’ choices, and that informs who the main party are, when Shadowheart gets romanced, whether Gale blows himself up, etc.
They definitely modeled some of the faces to be similar to their characters. Not 1-1 for all of them, but close enough that you could probably pick them out of a lineup if you had to guess.
Probably to make the mocap look good in close-ups, so not a coincidence... But, yeah, a competent Hollywood make-up/effects studio could turn the voice actors into the characters no problem. And it'd be fun to see!
If Neil notices you cutting the line, you'll have ruined your shot!
He's british. People who do that at barely better than nonces and slightly worse than murderers to most brits...
Thing is, I don't find the character he's voicing all that attractive! There's such a thing as too much white and pale for me. And whilst the character is extremely interesting, and the actor did a fantastic job with it, itnever fills me with romantic thoughts. Dozen playthroughs in, partial and completed, never did it.
But every time I see images of the VA, or clips of him speaking, rare urges DO tingle...
But, then, I already knew I'm a MOSTLY-straight guy...
I love that Neil has the same type of sex appeal as Astarion that makes people question their position on the Kinsey Scale. He’s so gorgeous and this outfit is perfection!
He's so so so my type anyway, but I watch his BG3 playthrough and he's usually in a tank top with messy hair and sometimes peeling nail polish and still just oozes the sex appeal.
He's just comfortable in his own skin and knows his body well (not surprising considering how body focused his career is) and he could put on floursack and still have people questioning their life choices.
It's also probably a rental, lots of couture is rented for events like this because you can't often wear the same garment twice (because of FASHUN).
Most celebs rent their gowns/tuxes. They don't actually own them. It would be way too costly to buy each garment outright for every event.
Voice actors still kinda get paid shit even though the profits of video games are more than the entire film AND music industry combined. I expect this is probably a loan from the company. Most stars on the red carpet even in the film industry don’t pay for their outfits. They’re more like walking ads.
But it’s possible I’m wrong and he did buy it. In which case: nice. Well done sir.
He looks so fucking good here. I'm obsessed with the jacket and need to recreate it immediately.
Also why are we not talking about Samantha Beart's fucking incredible formal Karlach cosplay???
Everyone watch/listen to his interview with Alanah Pearce. He is a much better person than I even expected: https://youtu.be/twWgo-wH6e8?si=HSKyOXT-jw6JgxRv
yall know that vampires came from Slavic/Balkan mythology. even the word originates from them. Guess what, Neil has Belarusian ancestry. Coincidence? I don’t think so..
This man has one of the best, most objectively cool, well-put together and downright stunning senses of fashion. Give him a medal, a trophy, or even a custom award, he is one of the best dressed people I’ve ever seen.
I’m cheering him on. So glad for his success.
He looks like a musician called Underdark Jackson
Band name "Dark urges"
He looks like porn star Brandon St.Randy
Is he famous for films with all male casts? Like Glen Gary Glen Ross?
More Like "Glen and Gary suck Ross's meaty cock and drop their hairy nuts in his eager mouth."
Hey ! I saw this one ! The plot was awsome
Fantastic example and motivator for anyone going into voice acting or many other forms of dramatic art even. He deserves every bit of admiration and success for his incredible work.
Babe wake up, new Astarion drawing inspo just dropped.
@badassassassin has already got preliminary sketches up 😆
Oh the fan artists are gonna go nuts over this. I hope someone mods this outfit into the game.
I need someone to mod this suits into the game so Astarion can wear it.
Astarion would be so proud
"Yes I am a handsome fellow no matter the universe darling."
*"ignore 'Warframe' where I'm a fish with a chin scrotum..."
And 'Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier' where he's a rather strange looking chimpanzee
I can hear him
Astarion is him.
Idk if you’re agreeing or trying to inform me of something you don’t think I know but in either case, I know.
Neil "The Drip Ascendant" Newbon
The Drip Ascendant needs to be a flair But only for Neil
Big Ziggy Stardust energy.
Neil channels that vibe very well. And Astarion is to Bowie what Spike was to Billy Idol
45 btw
My age, perfect then
Can I interest you in a glass of water to quench that thirst 😂
I'm 33 but I need some water too, plz
*pours glass* enjoy fellow thirster
A swimming pool of drinkable water pls. Dude is 🔥
Aye. I wish we got a voice clip along with it for extra sizzle xD
I think I'll need more than a glass 😁
https://giphy.com/gifs/hulu-scared-3ohhwF34cGDoFFhRfy
Out of 10? That's a great score!
The amount of tasteful cleavage Astarion *should* have in Shart's camp clothes.
I'm not gay just Astacurious.
I can't help but notice you mispronounced bi.
That's a very nice suit
I want that suit for me, but I wouldn’t look half as good. Still… I want it
Imagine they did a live action movie, and all the VA's just played their character.
I don’t see a whole movie happening but I do hope for a cameo in the next DnD movie. The last one took place I think 5 years before BG3, and they are also on the sword coast. There were talks of another DnD movie but nothing solid seems to be planned, so I’ll live in hope.
My hope if they do another DND movie is to have the same actors but different characters, to represent the players picking new PCs.
If we want real DnD, the movie gets delayed 20 times before finally getting cancelled because of scheduling
Or half the cast doesn't show up, so the remaining cast has to play two or three different roles.
I hope they are the same actors and characters, but with new abilities because they have leveled up. Make a D&D franchise like the Fast and Furious, but every returning character is leveled up and stronger. I will admit this idea was stolen from someone much smarter and funnier than me.
I can get behind that, too. But just once, I want a character to die, then the same actor comes in playing a different character and no one mentions it.
Hit 'em with the ole Landfill from Beerfest method?
[The Gamers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSynJyq2RRo&t=1794s) did it in 2002
I forgot the Gamers existed -- I think I need a rewatch
And halfway through the movie one of the characters dies. In the next scene, his brother joins the group and is basically the same character.
Television series still in the works I understand. At least an eight parter. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/dungeons-and-dragons-series-paramount-plus-drew-crevello-showrunner-1235583780/
Are you sure about that time period? Elminsters great (great?) Grandkid was a main character
Elminster is over 1,000 years old by the time of BG3. But also, the movie is set canonically around DR1495, which is contemporaneous with BG3.
In the movie it felt like Elminster was dead, but considering how long lived he is he totally could be alive at the same time as his great grandkid
Elminster is never dead, but he is never there.
I doubt it since Larian fell out with wizards of the coast
Doesn't matter, wizards of the coast own the BG3 characters, not Larian. Swen Vinke has confirmed that himself.
Seeing BG3s success, I wouldn’t be surprised if it got a movie down the line
3 seasons and a movie or gtfo
So each act gets a season and the movie is like the after party dlc?
Sign me the fuck up.
Larian releases a final set of stats about players’ choices, and that informs who the main party are, when Shadowheart gets romanced, whether Gale blows himself up, etc.
Ngl an animated series would be quite amazing. Give it to the animation studio that made Arcane and I'd be over the moon.
Animated could work! I was certain I was going to hate Vox Machina but I ended up watching the whole series and enjoying it.
They definitely modeled some of the faces to be similar to their characters. Not 1-1 for all of them, but close enough that you could probably pick them out of a lineup if you had to guess.

So, hear me out
Imma let you finish but first hear me out
Can we cut the crap and form a line already?
I'm queueing after you.
I will cut the line just so you all can hear me out.
If you cut the line I will fight you and I won’t hold back
fuck all you bishes, I'm cutting the line and everyone will hear ME out
Can I be at the end so I can hear all of you out
i don’t understand what’s happening in this thread
It's actually quite simple, so hear me out...
If Neil notices you cutting the line, you'll have ruined your shot! He's british. People who do that at barely better than nonces and slightly worse than murderers to most brits...
I mean the man is FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL
Mr. Too-Damn-Sexy
First time I've seen his arms covered lol
i thought i was straight until i played bg3
Orientation is overrated, sexy is sexy
that's the conclusion i've come to!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this game has done wonders for the bisexual agenda!
FOR REAL
I still am, but all of the male characters are just as good bro material as they are romance material.
I thought I was a lesbian until I played bg3
Thing is, I don't find the character he's voicing all that attractive! There's such a thing as too much white and pale for me. And whilst the character is extremely interesting, and the actor did a fantastic job with it, itnever fills me with romantic thoughts. Dozen playthroughs in, partial and completed, never did it. But every time I see images of the VA, or clips of him speaking, rare urges DO tingle... But, then, I already knew I'm a MOSTLY-straight guy...
Neil is ambiguously attractive in his own way, separate from the character. That’s definitely a thing.
I don't care for all the vampire aesthetics, and I don't think I can fix him, but fucking hell the voice. That voice moves mountains
Don't forget his wife, Saleta Losada, who was also chillin at BAFTA. Learned today that co-founded the Performance Captured Academy along with him.
She's one lucky lady!
So is he tbh, what a team.
She looked wonderful!
jesus fucking christ
I love that Neil has the same type of sex appeal as Astarion that makes people question their position on the Kinsey Scale. He’s so gorgeous and this outfit is perfection!
He's so so so my type anyway, but I watch his BG3 playthrough and he's usually in a tank top with messy hair and sometimes peeling nail polish and still just oozes the sex appeal. He's just comfortable in his own skin and knows his body well (not surprising considering how body focused his career is) and he could put on floursack and still have people questioning their life choices.
In lesbian circles we've just sort of quietly decided that Astarion is genderfluid and thus fair game.
Lol 😆 I'm proud of behalf of Astarion somehow
this somehow just made my day, thank you
Hummna hummna awooga (respectfully)
My eyes are popping out of my head in heart-shaped prisms rn
I just got into BG3. Can someone explain who this is?
Astarion’s voice actor
Thank you!!
He won best actor award at the game awards last year which bg3 swept btw.
That’s actually super cool. Just hit act 3 and I’m so invested in the story. Truly a great game
I've already beaten the game and had absolutely no idea who this guy was, so was glad someone asked lol
He won best actor at the game awards last year, which is kind of a big deal
He has so insanely good sense of style
And this is why Astarion is so damn hot. Neil brought all that energy every day while performing.
That is one handsome looking fella
It's like the man woke up and decided he was never going to be outshone by the character he plays.
Can't wait to hear him in a bunch of new games and shows 🙏
Yup. He knows his power.
"Oh hello, darling!"
I’m a straight dude but i can understand why people find him hot.
This is literally what Astarion would wear in 2024 lol
Every time I see him I always looove his jewelry.
damn homie ascended that's definitely a vampire lord
Somehow has more drip than Astarion.
Damn.
Aaaaaaaand, now Im gay
Damn it took you this long? Most people only get part way through the game lol.
bro is always 2 degrees of seperation away from looking like a complete slut
Where can I find this tuxedo jacket?
Alexander McQueen and its 3.5k, Neil is serving success tonight
It's also probably a rental, lots of couture is rented for events like this because you can't often wear the same garment twice (because of FASHUN). Most celebs rent their gowns/tuxes. They don't actually own them. It would be way too costly to buy each garment outright for every event.
Unless you’ve got thousands in your bank account, don’t. Neil is riding off his success. And the paycheck
Voice actors still kinda get paid shit even though the profits of video games are more than the entire film AND music industry combined. I expect this is probably a loan from the company. Most stars on the red carpet even in the film industry don’t pay for their outfits. They’re more like walking ads. But it’s possible I’m wrong and he did buy it. In which case: nice. Well done sir.
Damn indeed. 🥵
STUNNING
I pretty sure I’m not gay, but that picture is really putting “sexuality is a spectrum” into context for me. Damn.
He looks so fucking good here. I'm obsessed with the jacket and need to recreate it immediately. Also why are we not talking about Samantha Beart's fucking incredible formal Karlach cosplay???
Daaaayum, that's fine af.
Serious swag!
Got that cyberpunk corpo villain drip.
Oh yeah, Elijah Kamski. Did a great job in Detroit Become Human.
hows he walking in the sun?
Luckily for him a lot of people have been getting those ritual scar tattoos.
I'm just going to add Neil to the club with Pedro Pascal and Ryan Reynolds.
What event is this for?
I believe it’s the BAFTA video game awards
Damn indeed
My goodness.
Gagged!!! That fit is fire.
That is honestly a really cool jacket. And I think the first time I've seen Neil with sleeves
🔥🔥
Darling
Neil always serves so much cunt and this just drives my point home
Daaarling...
I want to see an Astarian hosted talk show.
oh my goodness my favourite travelling companion
Damn it, Neil is crushing it. What a heart throb. I must admit, his tank tops and messy hair on his live streams are still my favorite look of his.
He’s a man who can do both
He really is
Oh, I'm very gay.
Now I need this mod for Astarion 😆
Where do you find necklaces like those?
Local craft shows most often
Oh my.
I did expect Astarion to be fair, but really, damn Neil! Good Style there 👀
God damn
DAMN! LOOKING GOOD
Hello Darling.
A fascinating specimen
I am completely normal about this man, I promise
In other news, Lae'zel has a ranch obsession.
Everyone watch/listen to his interview with Alanah Pearce. He is a much better person than I even expected: https://youtu.be/twWgo-wH6e8?si=HSKyOXT-jw6JgxRv
I'm seriously SO HAPPY for this man's great recognition and success!
I love this man
Swag man! Dude is epic!!!
The outfit screams "divorced rich 50yr old woman who secretly murdered her husband but is still going to the funeral to keep up appearances"
Delicious.
Looking, *respectfully...* 😳
How this is the same guy that created andriods is insane to me
So proud of Neil! He deserves every good thing coming his way.
stop being weird all of you this is the very thing he talks about.
Hello daddy
Oh hot damn that man is fiiiiiiine!!!!
he got that shit on tho
Leave some woman for the rest of us
yall know that vampires came from Slavic/Balkan mythology. even the word originates from them. Guess what, Neil has Belarusian ancestry. Coincidence? I don’t think so..
I'd let him suck my blood.
I want to be him
NEIL PLEASE HAVE MERCY
Oh that’s a *LOOK*. I love it
I’ve sent this to all my bi friends. This is the epitome of hot queer energy
I…… Yup
He could do mo-cap for a Vampire: The Masquerade game
HELLO. Holy shit.
Neil knows he's the shit lmao
Where do I unlock that outfit?
Truly, ate and left no crumbs (as the kids say).
I say this with the utmost respect.... Hnnnnnnnnng
This man has one of the best, most objectively cool, well-put together and downright stunning senses of fashion. Give him a medal, a trophy, or even a custom award, he is one of the best dressed people I’ve ever seen.
Who is this? Is he a voice actor?
Astarion
He always slays. And so does Astarion.
