Jumping off of the success that Kirkfat had with the Draft Leeta campaign, doesn't that hologram look great in Quarks

, it's time to go and ask, beg, and basically plead with Cryptic to get another Star Trek Actor in game. So who better than Tim Russ, the ever logical actor behind Janway's favorite Vulcan Tuvok.
The good thing is, thanks to the efforts by shikamaru317 we already know that Mr. Russ is interested and more than willing to do the VO work, as seen
here. So we have half of the battle right there.
Link to his
homepage.
Now we just need to convince Cryptic to add him into the game. A tough challenge to be sure but one that this community has risen to achieve once before.
So let's start brainstorming ideas as to what Tim Russ could do in the game and start showing support by posting those ideas, or by simply saying that your support getting him in game, here. Let's get to it people.

(then get Brent Spiner next in line.. *coughs*)
I think he is a retired Captain. It´s in the Path to 2409.
Tuvok, or do some Klingon Vo's
he's still alive during this time. I do believe he was mentioned in the path to 2409
Edited to add: Seeming he's retired, working him into a diplomacy mission might be a nice touch.
Worf would be nice in that I think he'd provide both factions with content.
And Tony Todd would amazing because he could reprise his roles both as Jake Sisko and Kurn.
Seriously though we know that Russ is more than willing to work with Cryptic and record a few lines into the game. So why not try to get him in game. If we focus on one actor and character at a time, the better the odds at getting them in I say.
You know, we could have Tuvok narrate the new sector blocks as they are added in. Since it seems to be a staple of the game to have a Vulcan be the narrator, thank you spock, in addition to adding the Vulcan to a mission or 3. So what do you guys think of that. Anyother ideas?
couldnt be happier.

Yeah, he was really good in Elite Force, while the rest of the cast seemed a little bored. His VOs were high quality, especially when he reprimanded us for stuff.
Preferably not, as this would reduce the chances of the VO work becoming a reality in my opinion. Chase Masterson's VO work went to Holo Leeta who talks to the players while they play Dabo, which is something that can be revisted time and again.
I will look into this myself and post any ideas I come up with, but I employ all those who are willing, to research as much info as possible, try to find out exactly what the character Tuvok would be doing in the time that STO is based in right now, find out what he's been doing and how he got there. Then maybe, just maybe with our combined efforts, we can help Cryptic come up with a brilliant idea for Tuvoks character, location as well as purpose within STO.
I agree. This is a harder sell to Cryptic unless we can come up with a way that makes Russ's inclusion seem natural. He is a Vulcan though, and he's still around at the time of STO. From what I've learned, he is currently first officer on the Titan in the STO timeline.
As for what Tuvok could do in STO, there are many possibilities:
1) Be involved with Janeway and Chakotay in countering the Undine as part of an independent operation (Janeway taking full responsiblity). And Tuvok is acting as the mission giver.
2) Tuvok could be on Vulcan giving out missions that reflect on the history of the Federation where players could learn more about the planet and more.
3) Be part of a Delta Quadrant expansion.
And much more.
He could do VO for both Starfleet/KDF.
Twice the value!
bonus win. I'm sure KDF players would appreciate the love.
