Celebrities on your Answering Machine

[CrazyGirl17]

This was inspired by a bit from Two and a Half Men (Yes, I know, shut up), in an episode wheer James Earl Jones made a cameo appearance in an imagine spot as Alan convinced him to make a messgae for the answering machine.

I got to thinking: If I could have a celebrity create an outgoing message for my answering machine, who would it be?

I would have either James Earl Jones, Mark Hamill (as the Joker, of course), the Mythbusters, or Keith David (He of the Sexy Voice).

So, who would you think could do a good answering machine message?

 

[Anarchemitis]

Don LaFontaine saying "Leave a message at the beep. I know where you live."

 

[Tharwen]

Stephen Fry.

"You just had the imponderable joy of not talking to Nick. That makes you, like, cool!"

 

[Hipsy_Gypsy]

Ooh, Chris O'Dowd maybe. Maybe. He can improvise for me in regards of what to say! Love that actor, he's so hilarious and adorkable, haha. Maybe even Dan Clark. Again, he can come up with anything he wants. Oh God, I can't pick.

[LordOmnit]

Liam Neeson with a standard away message, but with his Aslan voice. Although that's his usual voice isn't it?

 

[Galaxy Roll]

My answering machine is Isaiah Mustafa, AKA the Old Spice Guy.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Michael Wincott... gotta be weirded out by that smokey-gravel ridden semi-rumble of his... (oh wait, I actually speak like that, sort of).

Seriously, though, probably Brian Blessed, blaring a standard answerphone message at the top of his voice.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

My answering machine is Isaiah Mustafa, AKA the Old Spice Guy.

i demand your answering machine!
OT: either him, or NPH. their voices alone are epic.
though someone mentioned Stephen Fry, and that would be hilarious...

 

[The Virgo]

Tom Hardy. The dude has a fucking bad-ass voice and accent! I mean, imagine this voice on your answering machine!


I wish my voice sounded like that. >:-(

And then there are sites like this [http://oldspicevoicemail.com/] that will let you splice one together. Just search "old spice guy voicemail" in Google.

 

[standokan]

George Takei would be really awesome.

 

[LiberalSquirrel]

Having David Tennant do a voicemail recording for me would be glorious. Though, then again, Alan Rickman... hm. Choices, choices...

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I'd probably get Nathan Fillion to do what comes natural to him. I'm a big Halo fan, and I loved Frefly, so Mr. Fillion is definitely the best man for the job.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I want Garrus' voice actor to record this for me:

'Hi, you've reached Lloyd, could you call him back, he's in the middle of some calibrations. Leave a message and he'll get back to you when he has a more flexible schedule.'

The downside is, I'd probably never pick up the phone. Worth it .

 

[popparik]

Michael Wincott... gotta be weirded out by that smokey-gravel ridden semi-rumble of his... (oh wait, I actually speak like that, sort of).

Seriously, though, probably Brian Blessed, blaring a standard answerphone message at the top of his voice.

I can hear it now -- "Oh Calamity!! We can't answer the phone right now -- leave a message and don't worry...because GORDON'S ALIVVVVVEEEEEEE!!!"

Yep, that would be it...
