Half-Life Voice Actor Passes Away

Rest in Peace..

RIP

Rest in peace sir.

I was fortunate enough to see (and more importantly, hear) him playing the lead in Phantom of the Opera on stage. At the time, I had no idea he could sing. His performance was absolutely astounding.

I loved his wise voice in the game, great performance and a great voice actor, really nothing maks a game great like a good voice acting

Ahhhhhhh, if valve just shut down steam instead and Went for the followup, now it is too late. Reboot at best :/

rip

We all have to go sometime. All of our clocks are counting down

Rest In Peace Mr Guillaume, thanks for being part of my childhood! And playing one of the most laid-back NPC's ever

I kind of thought it'd be him, before I clicked on the article. Gone, but never forgotten. You were truly an excellent actor. RIP, Robert Guilaume.

R.I.P. Robert. Thank you for your great performance as Eli Vance. Sadly, Eli's death in HL2: Episode 2 may never be avenged due to Valve's reluctance to make HL3.

@zero_juice:Well his character died in game, so no big loss.

Aw, that sucks. I liked his work. RIP 89 aint half bad.

ahhh, not Dr. Eli Vance FFS!!

Rest in peace Eli, you were the best

and rest in peace Robert, you played a lot of cool characters and anyone who saw ya in anything you were in will most likely remember you for it...

Man nothing but bad news lately :/ RIP. The guy truly left an impact on many people with the work he did on Half-Life. Really sad to hear this but I do recall seeing a recent video of him knowing his time was bound to come any time soon. I would say something about Valve at this point but I just don't see the point. The company has changed and I'm sure many of the fans of the Half-Life universe have kinda moved on by now. Although I am really thankful for the great memories I had when I first played the HL games. Just getting immersed with the unique world and characters like Eli Vance was a really cool experience I haven't really had with any other game since. Which is unfortunate.

Valve will honor his memory with a loot box named after him.

RIP Mr. Guillaume, really enjoyed his performance in Half Life 2.

I honestly think Valves attitude towards their employees is failing and encouraging laziness they haven't shipped a game since Portal 2. They have openings for level designers, artists etc but honestly what are you going to be doing apart from patches/dlc for team fortress & dota 2? Its not really an exciting career prospect if the company your working for doesn't want to fund the development of new games.
