With Skyrim being as relevant as it was eleven years ago when it was released, it comes as no surprise that there are more things to explore and reveal about the world of The Elder Scrolls. From various factions to countless side quests, there is a never-ending list of things to do and conquer within the fantasy world.
The Dragonborn meets many NPCs throughout the games and thus Skryim has many voice actors from all walks of life. From famous animated characters, television shows, the silver screen, and even other beloved video game characters, some of the voices of these NPCs can be all too familiar.
Moira Quirk
The voice of Karliah is Moira Quirk. '90s kids may remember the Nickelodeon game show Guts where she was the referee called "Mo" and gave the instructions for each challenge the contestants faced. The Aggro Crag is the most notable of these challenges and was the staple of Guts series run.
Karliah is head of the Nightingales and part of the Thieves Guild. Originally thought to be a villain after allegedly killing Gallus, she was exiled and was on the run for 25 until she cleared her name and revealed the real culprit as Mercer, a once-trusted friend.
Christopher Plummer
Those who have watched the beloved musical The Sound of Music will recall the infamous Captain Von Trapp who falls in love with Julie Andrew's Maria in the 1965 film adaptation of the same name. Christopher Plummer is one of three Oscar nominees to voice a character in Skyrim, providing the voice of Arngeir, a Greybeard elder.
Climbing up High Hrothgar is long and tedious, but when a player eventually arrives, they meet Arngeir. He is only one of two Greybeards that the player interacts with and learns powerful dragon shouts that guide the character on their way to being the true Dragonborn.
Cindy Robinson
Cindy Robinson is known in the video game world as the current voice of Amy Rose in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise but she is also recognized as the sinister announcer from The Purge. The darkness of the latter role is carried over into her role as the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, Astrid.
Upon being kidnapped, the player meets Astrid and has a choice to make, which is to kill one of the three prisoners or Astrid in the abandoned shack. Killing the three prisoners will introduce the player to the Dark Brotherhood, which for some is where the fun begins.
Kari Wahlgren
An actress with an extensive filmography, Kari Wahlgren has done voice work for many animated TV shows but only has eight live-action credits. She was seen in the movie Neverland as Tinkerbell, but not the version that people remember from Disney as it deals with adult themes.
One of Wahlren's voice credits is Vex, who is a member of the Thieves guild, known for being the best infiltrators. She will not hesitate to let you know how skilled she is. Fiery, stealthy, and loyal, Vex is the poster child for the guild and all it represents. She provides the Dragonborn with jobs to boost their coin and their reputation.
Charles Martinet
Fans may recognize the voice behind Paarhurnax as Charles Martinet, who has voiced legendary video game characters Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi since the '90s. He is a talented voice actor who has been in the game for decades and his credits list is vast.
Paarthurnax is an almighty dragon that sits at the top of the Throat of the World. He committed crimes against mankind as Alduin's lieutenant during the Dragon War. Though he betrayed his master, the bloodlust is still inside of him, but he is now an ally to humans. Yet it hasn't stopped Skyrim Redditors from confessing the evil deed of killing him.
Wes Johnson
Wes Johnson was the narrator of America's Most Wanted: America Fights Back for 11 years. He guided the viewer through each of the fugitives on the run and what they were wanted for. Johnson is also known for the voice of the insane Daedric prince Sheogorath among other roles since Morrowind.
In the Daedric quest, players visit Sheogorath, the prince of madness who makes his appearance in all the Elder Scrolls games since Daggerfall. The quests he gives are crazy and will cause many gamers to laugh at the lunacy he provides. Additionally, the player will obtain the Wabbajack Daedric artifact that has random effects when used.
Claudia Christian
In 2001, Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire barely made any profit and is considered by many Redditors an underrated Disney movie that deserved a lot more attention. Helga, the sensual and striking German lieutenant, who serves as one of the movie's antagonists, is voiced by Claudia Christian.

This sense of adventure and the hunt transcribes to Christian's character in Skyrim, which is Aela the Huntress. Aela is a werewolf and part of the Companions, as well as an expert in archery. For many players, she is considered a solid choice for a wife and follower as Aela is highly skilled in stealth.
Lynda Carter
Gracing TV sets all over the U.S. in the 70s was Wonder Woman played by Lynda Carter. In Skyrim, she plays the Daedric Prince Azura but has been part of the Elder Scrolls franchise since the very beginning in 2002 in various roles.
Azura is the goddess of dusk and dawn and one of the good Daedra that is worshipped by the Dark Elves. Completing this Daedric quest will reward the player with the coveted Black Star which is a valuable thing to have for an enchanter as it is a soul gem that never gets removed from inventory upon use.
Jason Marsden
Some know Jason Marsden as Nelson from Full House and for voicing Goofy's son Max in A Goofy Movie, which is considered one of Disney's deepest films. But for Skyrim players, Marsden is perhaps best recognized as Sven the bard.
Sven is one of the first people that the players meet in Riverwood after the escape from Helgan at the beginning of the game. He is a bard who is in love with Camilla Valerius and asks the Dragonborn to take a forged letter to her and tell her it's from Faendal, another man competing for her heart.
Max von Sydow
Max von Sydow has had a rich filmography, acting in numerous movies such as The Force Awakens, The Exorcist, Game of Thrones, and The Seventh Seal. He was also no stranger to voice acting and in Skyrim, Sydow provides the voice of Esbern.
He is an elder Blade member hiding among the Ratway Warrens in Riften, found by Delphine after she reads the Thalmor Dossier. Eventually he, the Dragonborn, and Delphine make their way to Sky Haven Temple. The Dragonborn should not be fooled by his frail-looking exterior as he is a powerful follower and tries to convince the player that killing Paarthurnax is the only way to defeat Alduin.
