News: Along with Kate "Captain Janeway" Mulgrew.

BioWare has announced the voice cast behind what they call "largest cast of characters of any game [we have] ever made." That claim belongs to BioWare's November release Dragon Age: Origins and leading the cast will be Tim Curry as the villainous (what else?) Arl Rendon Howe and Kate Mulgrew as the powerful witch Flemeth.

Tim Curry will play the villainous Arl Rendon Howe. Howe is the calculating villain, cultured and charming, with an insatiable lust for power who never hesitates to harm anyone who gets in his way. Kate Mulgrew will lend her vocal flair to Flemeth, a powerful witch who maintains her immortality through the darkest of means, and who plays a pivotal role in the player's survival. Both roles provide the actors with the opportunity to bring their considerable talents to bear in their portrayal of these characters.

They will be joined by Tim Russ (Mulgrew's co-star on Star Trek: Voyager), Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun in Farscape) and Steve Valentine (the weird doctor from Crossing Jordan). The roles they will play in the game were not revealed.

?Dragon Age: Origins has the largest cast of characters of any game BioWare has ever made,? said Mark Darrah, Executive Producer, BioWare. ?By working with an incredibly talented cast of actors we are able to bring reality and depth to the characters, their back stories, motivations, and dreams that our talented writers have created for them.?

We'll have more soon.
