Mark Ryan to Voice Ironhide in Transformers Movie Game and to have a Role in the Movie

The dude has the face I would picture for IH's voice, although I must admit that the name doesn't ring a bell. Anyone know of some other characters he's voiced?

That is Awesome!!!! I can't Wait to see this movie!

Disappointed it's not Cullen.

Never really heard of the guy.

And ...Irionhide?

i wish i could hear what the guy sounds like. cool to know some other autobots will make the game!

All right! Theatre experience!
He was in a show called 'I Love 1984.' Fun fact.

Oh look, another guy from "Alias"... how many does that make now?

Oh well, hope he pulls it off

Looking at the people listed on the front page of IMDb's cast list, there are apparently four, and they are Mark Ryan (Ironhide), Glenn Morshower (a colonel), Chris Ellis (minor character, who really cares?), and Mark Anthony Vazquez (minor character, who really cares?).

I fail to see what this means exactly.

So now I can also announce that I've recently recorded two voices for the Activision game based on the film to be released at around the same time as the movie. I voiced both Ironhide and Hoist for the game, directed by legendary "Rocky" star: Carl Weathers, who is an all round gentleman and an excellent voice-over director! More info on Transformers later in the summer!

Where does this say that he will be voicing Ironhide for the movie?
I have read over the whole article 3 times and do not see it..
If I am missing something please point it out.

Sounds good. Now we only have, what, 6 left?

HOIST IS IN THE MOVIE GAME. YAY.

Does anybody have a YouTube clip of him or something?

Doesn't seem to acctually say that he is voicing Ironhide in the Movie, but I think it's a safe bet what with him voicing Ironhide in the game. I know people could use the Welker/Weaving argument but that was a case of appeasing the fans. Cullens already in both so I don't think the studio really wanted to go out on a limb to have Cullen voice Ironhide this time around.

Oh, man, I really hope that this doesn't mean just the game. I'm ready to know who's voicing who already. But he's been involved with the movie for a while, according to Wikipedia, so hopefully he's doing both. He looks like he'll have a good voice.

MAY 2007

Well! It's almost summer! So time for a quick update folks!

I recently got called back to the studios by Michael Bay to voice more material to be utilized in editing the Transformers movie to be released during the summer. Michael was again in great form and having a lot of fun with the characters of the Autobots.



Did you skip the first paragraph? I'm guessing it means he'll be voicing a character as opposed to making sound effects with his mouth, and Ironhide seems like a good possibility seeing as he's doing the same for the game.

@ Cyber Bishop:
"I recently got called back to the studios by Michael Bay to voice more material to be utilized in editing the Transformers movie to be released during the summer."

I did not mean to stir anything up, I just want to make sure that the facts are straight so that seibertron.com does not look bad.

Um.. That does not say anything definite. Sorry but your argument is invalid.

That says voice material, it does not specifically say a name.

See my statement above your quote.

No problem man. I read it a few times before I posted it.

To be honest though, you're right. It never explicitly says he's playing a character in the movie. Just doing random voice work. Reading further down we also see he made recordings for the Decepticon language. I think we're jumping to conclusions.

True, but I took that verbatim from his website. There is a link in the news story. Follow it and read what he wrote there; it sounds like he's doing the movie voice as far as I can tell.

I'm not trying to stir anything up, either, mate. I just tried to answer the question.

EDIT: OH, you mean a character's name... Good point!

Ok I'll edit the story. I may have read into it because the other sites are reporting as I did.

You are, as usual, correct. Honestly, I wish more career journalists and reporters were as careful about getting the facts right.

As did I in my quote. I copied it directly from his site.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0418279/
has his as simply as "Transformers (voice)"

Huh, the dude is British.

Heh, now I'm imagining Ironhide as a soccer hooligan.

I'm sorry, but how do you know career journalists aren't careful about getting facts right? Not trying to start anything either, but I don't like broad brush statements.

I am just doing my job. Ryan trusts me with running the site and I just want to make sure things are on the "up and up"..

We need to be the best TF board around.. That is my ultimate mission.

... because I read the papers, magazines, and watch the news?

I have no clue who this guy is. Why couldnt they just let Cullen do it? It official, Ironhide is now trailbreaker.

Fixed guys. For some reason I was reading into it and had to re read the post very slowly. Thanks for pointing it out CB. At least we will be the one site that has reported it correctly now.

AbsumZer0 wrote:... because I read the papers, magazines, and watch the news?

So do I, and I've written for newspapers. That doesn't mean they aren't trying just as hard to get the facts right.

On topic: I really need to put The Prestige in to hear this guy's voice.

Who? isn't this guy british

You never know, he might take a cue from how Cullen used to do him.

Re: "I Love 1984". For those not in the know, it was a nostalgia show looking back at the highs and lows of the year, with various people reminiscing about stuff, and yeah, Transformers was in it (in fact, on the TF Movie DVD with the Headmasters ep on it, the disc opens with the Transformers segment of the show - Simon Furman and Paul Cannon of Transforce, among others, share their thoughts).
I don't remember Mark Ryan being on it, but then since I'd never heard of him before seeing the Transformers IMDB entry, that probably shouldn't come as a surprise.

So we know 3 voice actors for the game and 3 for the movie. I hope we learn who the others are soon.

Then I guess some of them just happen to be inept at it. The reporters who write AP articles on biological and zoological matters come immediately to mind. And, for the record, which do you believe constitutes a 'broad' statement?

a)Honestly, I wish more career journalists and reporters were as careful about getting the facts right.

(Note the qualifiers italicized.)

-or-

b)All career journalists and reporters try their best to get the facts right.

CLICK HERE! To hear what Mark Ryan sounds like. It has various clips from the shows that he has been in.

Here is another clip of Ryan:

I think it would be great to see him do the voice in the movie as well. I hope he gets the role of Ironhide in the movie and not just the game.

I didn't want to start some argument. I found the statement to be assumptive. Sorry.

Not to mention Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, were both writers for the new Transformers movie and Alias.

Might as well call this movie "Alias but with big robots"

I guess they just like the random bit players they've had on their show that only appeared in a combined eight episodes.

Plus he's not shy about doing conventions (future BotCon guest?), I still have a program from a British Sci-Fi convention I went to back in '91 where he was a guest.

Too bad, really, Cullen's Ironhide is great. I love the rough sound hes got.

Nice. He's got the grittiness for it for sure.

remember the English maid Daphne on fraiser, thats her loudmouth brother, good choice.

Yeah, who is this guy?

And the idea of creating a language is very cool! I do alot of Sci-Fi and horror type writing(hoping to get published one day) and I find it a challange to come up with dialect and lingos that do not incorporate and of the sayings, puns, and refrences that we take for granted.

It's not that easy.

Ultra Markus wrote:remember the English maid Daphne on fraiser, thats her loudmouth brother, good choice.

Daphne's brother Simon on the show was played by Anthony LaPaglia. Mark Ryan was only one one episode of Frasier.

cool this guys a swords man

LoL, good to see a fellow Yorkshireman (albeit from Doncaster) in the movie!!

Not to mention was in the Wide Awake Club, which launcehd no lesser peronalties than Mike Myers and Timmy Mallett into the collective conciousness:) Plus he was on I love 1984, I wonder if he was talking about transformers?

I hope this is another nail in the coffin of this retarded adaption of Transformers. I'm sick of you fans who just take all this spoon-fed like Generation One means nothing now. Who are you people who keep buying Star Wars Transformers anyway? I bet the same dudes who will buy anything that says "Transformers" on it. I know I'm sounding ignorant at the moment and probably a few people would like to kill me for my comments but come on, the more non-transforming junk you buy the more you are helping crap on Transformers. Why am I so irritated at this, well go back into time and figure out what was under a freaking tarp at Comic Con I believe when the movie was announced. Generation One Optimus freakin' Prime.
