StarCraft (video game)/Trivia

• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • Harry Shearer (voice of Mr. Burns on The Simpsons) plays the Terran Science Vessel. He sounds very similar to Mr. Burns and even references his role as Burns in a few lines:

Science Vessel: Excellent. Hmm... Fusion, eh? I'll have to remember that.

• • Chris Metzen, director and writer of Starcraft, voiced the Terran Battlecruiser, Marine, and the Ghost.
  • Lani Minella plays the Terran Dropship pilot and the Zerg Queen.
  • Paul Eiding is Aldaris.
• Life Imitates Art: Sarah's voice actress has written several novels under the pen name... Sarah Kerrigan.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Zeratul's original voice actor, Jack Ritschel, has died since the first game, and a new voice actor, Fred Tatasciore, has been hired for the sequel.
  • Sarah Kerrigan's voice actress changed from Glynnis Talken-Campbell in StarCraft to Tricia Helfer in StarCraft II. They go so far as to redo several of Kerrigan's lines from a pivotal moment in the first game with the new VA, so at least they didn't half-ass it.
• What Could Have Been: In an early draft of Starcraft, Kerrigan was meant to merely be a minor character in the Terran campaign. In the final version, she ends up becoming The Dragon for the Zerg Overmind and eventually the Big Bad of the series herself.
