He's too old I think you might have meant Gowasu or whatever.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

It'd be nice for sure, but I don't know if Funi would pay what an actor as experienced as Hamill would charge. I am delighted were getting James Marsters though, especially because it was his desire to redeem himself after Evolution.

There's nothing worth redeeming. He's blacklisted for good

I love Mark but his voice is not suited and now it's way to aged. I could picture him as Quitela though.

Hopefully not. Marster's Zamas completely misses the mark and sounds really boring in the games.

And is there actual proof that it's him in the games? I've seen plenty people commenting "it sounds like him", that's about it.

...How is there not proof?
You mean to tell me it has all been speculation so far?!
I don't own XV2, so I don't know if it is as convenient as DBZ Sparking Neo/BT2 was with neatly supplying the info about who characters were voiced by in their data archive or whatever it was.
Surely though there is a credits roll where all the voice-actors are listed right?

On animenewsnetwork, they credit him as Zamas for the anime, but nothing for the games, while imdb doesn't credit him as the role in anyway whatsoever. I suppose imdb has a higher standard then, as they are waiting for proof, while ann doesn't have any sources and could just as well have been written by someone who only knows of the rumour.

I'm a big fan of his voice acting roles, but he'd be too recognizable in the role. And I'm pretty sure he's more expensive than Marsters.

The whole James Marsters as Zamasu thing started with a post on his instagram.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BOoL8ZpBxqI/

"This episode finds us kicking around Plano, Texas. We went there to visit our friend Chris Sabat (actor/producer/director, Dragonball Z). I had asked him for help in recording a voice-over reel, but really came hoping to impress him enough to score a part in his new project 'Dragonball Super'. I thought that even a small role in the new series could help redeem myself for the disastrous live action 'Dragonball Evolution' movie I inflicted on the world in 2009."

Chris Sabat has also been intentionally avoiding confirming who plays Zamasu, only saying it's someone big. Couple that with Zamasu not sounding like any known Funi actor and people have come to the fairly reasonable conclusion that James Marsters is Zamasu.

No, Hamil would not fit Zamasu at all. He's good at playing insane people, but not Zamasu's brand of insanity.

Sabat is so damn wrong here. Marsters is not "BIG".

By the standards for an anime dub he is. The most well known person you could get normally is probably someone like Steve Blum. I love him, but I wouldn't even consider him to be the most minor of celebrities.

A major role in Buffy The Vampire Slayer is pretty big I'd say.

Mark Hamill? He's a great Joker, and defined the role. But Joker's brand of "crazy" is worlds different from U10's rogue Kai.
