Number Six to voice Black Cat in Web of Shadows

by Xav de Matos { Sep 21st 2008 at 6:45PM }

This is what Ricky Gervais calls the olds. It is news ... it just ain't news today! On Friday, Canadian actress Tricia Helfer was announced as the voice of Black Cat in the upcoming game, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows from Activison. Helfer is famously known as the gorgeous Cylon Number Six in the Sci-Fi Channel series Battlestar Galactica. Casting Helfer as the agile (and somewhat reformed) cat burglar works well as it isn't the first time the actress has taken on the role. The gorgeous actress previously took on the voice of Black Cat as a guest character in the CW 'toon The Spectacular Spider-Man back in May 2008. Did we mention, gorgeous.

...............Can someone tell me what all those words say?

Anticrawl @ Sep 21st 2008 10:38PM

I'm not familiar with her, but I can make a justified opinion of her acting skills if I see a photo of her from the back.

Xav de Matos @ Sep 21st 2008 10:39PM

Careful doing a google image search of her without filters on if you are around younglings...

Please someone ban this shameless advertiser, not only what he is promoting wrong and probably a scam but these sorts of posts are eyesores.

Silicon Siren @ Sep 21st 2008 11:00PM

Xav, how does one set their avatar? When I opt to upload it says successful, but never shows up.

Xav de Matos @ Sep 21st 2008 11:04PM

Try commenting somewhere on Joystiq and access your account by clicking your user name from there. Then try changing your Avatar. For some reason it works when you edit from a Joystiq redirect.

Hope that helps.

Just give me the word and I can hook you two up Xav!

ChupacabraHuntr @ Sep 22nd 2008 12:03AM

Karl Pilkington's got a head like a fu**ing orange!

Xav de Matos @ Sep 22nd 2008 12:04AM

Who said that? You or your brain?

ChupacabraHuntr @ Sep 22nd 2008 12:29AM

Right. I'm just sayin' though ... I was just thinkin' then, right, and I heard a sound and my eyes said, "What's that over there?" But my mind was asleep the whole time.

Wulile @ Sep 22nd 2008 12:35AM

You're the sort of person who's bones are bigger than their body.

Xav de Matos @ Sep 22nd 2008 3:47AM

Officially my favorite thread of comments this year.

ChupacabraHuntr @ Sep 23rd 2008 1:07AM

If only I could be guaranteed a Karl Pilkington reference every day!

Wulile @ Sep 22nd 2008 12:31AM

Monkey NEWS!?

bugatti23007 @ Sep 22nd 2008 8:05AM

She should be replaced by this other Hot A*s Canadian Laura Vandervoort

Van Faulk @ Sep 22nd 2008 10:10AM

Why not replace her with someone who can...oh I don't know, act?

Why blow all their money on a star whose only noteable talent is being hot when for much less they could have a veteran voice actress who can actually give a good performance?

Was Jennifer Hale unavailable? Grey Delisle? Susans Eisenberg? Hell, tara strong would be a more natural choice...

eric f. @ Sep 22nd 2008 11:34AM

Van nuts, Tricia Helfer has an awesome voice. You're a moron.

Van Faulk @ Sep 22nd 2008 1:46PM

I think you are confusing 'rack' with voice. She's pretty, but easily the worst actress on BSG and completely wrong for black cat. So her being there is just a waste of money considering there are better voice actresses out there, all of whom would be cheaper and provide a much better performance.
