Bethesda is continuing their trend of hiring big name actors to voice their games by hiring Lucy Lawless to lend her voice to Hunted: The Demon Forge.  The actress is most well known for her role on Xena Warrior Princess but she's done some great work on Battlestar Galactica and bared most of herself on the Showtime show Spartacus. 

In the game she'll play Seraphine, a character that will be responsible for luring the two protagonists of the game into danger.  Sean kind of liked what he saw at PAX Prime the last trailer for the game looked fairly interesting.

Lawless, who rose to fame through her groundbreaking performance as “Xena: Warrior Princess”, currently stars in the television series, “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” and recurs on the ABC series “No Ordinary Family”. In addition to these two high-profile roles, she also starred as D’Anna/Number Three in the critically-acclaimed Syfy Channel series “Battlestar Galactica.”

“Hunted is an incredibly dark, intense game and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work on such a thrilling project,” said Lucy Lawless. “After playing the heroine for so long it’s refreshing to portray such a villainous, seductive temptress!”

In Hunted, Lawless voices the character of Seraphine, an adventurer-turned-temptress.
