Because he's a big actor and they pay alot of money for the lines he does do. I think that's also why they didn't get Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom for KH2.

Christopher Lee is a big actor, so I'd imagine that:

A. He's busy, and doesn't have the time that the other actors do to record his voice.

B. He's more expensive to hire for each of his performances.

 

Also, Corey Burton is a really good voice actor too (ex. Zeus is God of War 2 and 3). He just has the task of imitating Christopher Lee, which isn't exactly easy to do.

Though he has pleanty of experience. He plays Count Dooku in pretty much every Star Wars game, and The Clone Wars tv series. Count Dooku is another role Christopher Lee is famous for.

If I'd have to say it must've come down to they could've had Lenard Nimoy as Xeahnort or Christopher Lee as Ansem. Also Im fairly certain Johnny was willing to do the game but he was just to busy!

Yeah, I noticed the voice was different too. I mean, if we never had Christopher Lee, I guess I wouldn't mind this new guy, but...yeah, we DID have Christopher Lee, and he did awesome. Oh well. At least we had him for KHII and Days, right? (Re:CoM too?).

Christopher Lee (Days and KH2)

Burton (BBS and Re:COM)

He was busy, same thing with Johnny depp. the latter was busy with at world's end at the time of the game's voice casting i believe.

yup he count duuku or how ever he spells it but hes probably bussey

Christopher Lee (Days and KH2)

Burton (BBS and Re:COM)

 

Seeing as I've yet to play BBS or Re:CoM, I guess I haven't heard Corey Burton's voice yet.

you also have to look at the fact that Christopher Lee is 88 years old. as much as it pains me to say this, a man who could keel over and die at any minute can only do soooo much.

While I don't have anything knew to add to this thread, I would be stupid to not stop and say that Christopher Lee as Ansem the Wise/DiZ is some of the coolest voice acting in Gaming today.

Which is why in the Star Wars movies he played Count Dooku in, they had to hire someone else for the fighting scenes, and then use a computer to paste Christopher Lee's head on the other guy's body.

i agree that he is expensive famous and stuff but i like him alot i think he has an awesome voice and suits best ziD!

Johnny and orlando were doing AWE & DMC down in the carribean when kh2 was being reocrded. They wanted to return but had to ironically play the characters in the sequels
