I adore the smoothness to his voice. He brought Gale to life.
The voice acting is definitely what does the character. Gale is incredibly well written but wow. Tim gave him life. The whole casting is amazing but Astarion and Gale just blew me away.
tim downie's skill is incredible and he is so severely underrated and this was refreshing to watch this, thank you :))
This could have been hours longer and it would have still felt too short. I love Tim and his patience to talk to us all about BG3, as well as his own passions (Folklands).
Gale is a brilliant, nuanced character. Full of power and tenderness all at once. We are incredibly lucky to have had the talent of Tim matched with the talent of Larian to create such a wonderful character. One of my favorites!
So much love for Gale. Tim did such a fantastic job. It's been a joy to discover his other work.
The depth, sincerity, and nuance in Tim’s performance make Gale feel complex and real. Skillful work with a great deal of heart. Gale is my favorite character in BG3 and I’ve definitely become a big fan of Tim’s work as well!
Love Tim so much! Such a charming man
Instantly fell in love with Gale and his story. Tim brought so much to this role, and everything about Gale feels so real because of that. Incredible acting, as always from Tim.
I love his voice so much
Tim is such an amazing person and Gale is my favorite character probably ever, he just portrays him so well. Also from what I’ve seen, Gale isn’t very far off from his real personality lol.
Gale is such a relatable character, in every way :') from his interests to his flaws, and his depth! I love how when playing his origin, you can lean into his temptations OR have him rise above them---and both endings are so believable to his character. I adore gale, thank you for bringing him to life :') ♡♡♡
I do love Gale’s writing, but Tim really brought him to life ❤ it’s like it was written especially for him 🥰
Such an awesome guy. He really gives it all in everything he does.
I love this interview, Tim articulates the wonders and the huge draw that a well-written video game has on people, it is extraordinary art.
MCM London was just incredible indeed, you literally felt the overwhelming love for the game & characters in the hall during the panels 💜
Gale is a lovely character, and I love how the intertwined efforts of actor and writer made him so lovable but human and flawed, amazing. Can't wait to see/hear Tim in more video games!
Fantastic interview. Loved Gale's character so much his face is on my calf now 🤗
what a great episode!! Love Tim, and what he brought to my favorite character. I have never had a fictional character mean so much to me before, but Gale has gotten me through some serious ups and downs. Thanks to Tim for breathing so much life into him!
He makes a lot of Gale’s hand gestures and it’s distracting/delightful. Imagine that being your first VA role ❤
Tim sir, you are a wonder and your performance as Gale is a huge part of why we love him so much. I want to hear about all the hobgoblins and anything else you want to talk about! I love this interview.
The best! Tim is the best! An incredible actor with extraordinary charisma! His cameo is a separate art form and a true honey for fans. Every interview is pure joy! 🥰
I could listen to Tim speak all day! But seriously, I love seeing actors approach video games as art and putting so much thought and care into their performances. He definitely does have a uniquely wholesome and charming way about him, in game as well as live-action. Can't wait to see Tim popping up in more stuff!
After Gandalf, definitely my favorite wizard. BG3 was something else (and I say that as a big fan of the originals).
Thank you so much for this interview. Really love it. Instant follow ♥️
A wonderful, beautiful, fun and useful channel that deserves me to like, subscribe and watch completely because it deserves all of this. I wish you success.
I love you 🧙♂️
