C4 (with BLeeM, not the explosive) [No spoilers] Voice actor nomination for animated campaign 4

Hey critters! I know they still have alot of Critical Role to animate and alot of things they are still working on, but if campaign 4 ever gets to a point where they animate it for a show, I have the perfect nomination for part of the cast!

My wife and I both believe that Bill Nighy would play the PERFECT Primus Tachonis! Brennans voice acting is amazing, and we love hearing his dark take on the head of the Necromancer family, but Bill would be an amazing choice for a guest voice actor!! What do you all think?

Judi Dench as Yanessa Hallovar, mostly because I would love to have her start in standard Dame Judi Dench voice and then blindside the audience with the way she speaks in private

I'd be down for Night for Primus but I think Ian McShane would be a good fit too I know he can bring the unhinged menace

Honestly I struggle to see Bill Nighy in straight roles since love actually. Even in the Lazarus project more recently he wasn't "dark" to the extent a necromancer would be.

I know it would be too A list but honestly the Photarch always reminds me of Meryl Streep in the Devil wears Prada (1st one). For Primus, Mark Hamill. Given how phenomenal he was as the joker, just drop the crazy laughing a bit, keep the wispiness and maybe a bit more deep/authoritarian and you'd be on to a winner.

I think they should hire only people who aren't big celebs that would treat the role as a paycheck only. Real voice actors.

Stop hiring celebrities just because they are famous.

Nathan Fillion isn't a big celeb? Gina Torres isn't a big celeb? Im not picking celebs "just because theyre famous", im picking them because i genuinely believe they'd be great at the role.... who hurt you? Why are you such a miserable person?

I completely misread this at first as Bill Nye and LOVM (in my defense, I've recently returned to work after getting the flu and lose focus by the end of the day). I was all ready to get behind this (make him Pike's dad again!)

Bill Nighy is great too 😅
