Matt Berry sounding like he's announcing something comes in really handy for him, there's a radio station here in the UK called Absolute and their 80's channel just has him doing the announcements every few minutes, he's half the reason I listen to it.
Thanks for suggesting this I was about to suggest myself. I wasn't sure it'd be as good as the film but needn't have worried, it surpasses the film at many points.
@@maxcadyuk Yeah, if my memory is correct, it's written & directed by Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement, who is also one of the vampires. I think Jermaine does most of the writing for the series, but I might be wrong. Edit: According to imdb, Jermaine Clement does indeed do most of the writing for the series.
I seem to remember him saying he wanted to react to Black books but there's so much smoking and drinking in it which UA-cam doesn't like, so he would have to edit it so much just to get it posted and he didn't feel it would be worth it.
I know some people complain about you guys pausing too much but I absolutely love it. You guys are way too cute together. It's really obvious how much you guys love each other and enjoy each other's company.
In Rome Total War 2 the voice you may be refering to is Mark Strong, whom you may know from the movie The Kingsman. He played the character Merlin. They do have similar voices though.
It's never explicitly stated what it is that Reynholm Industries actually does, it's just a faceless corporate entity with lots of fingers in lots of pies.
Yay! I was waiting for this. I am English and I've seen all of The IT Crowd episodes so I am so excited for both of you and to watch your reactions because it just gets better. 🤣🤣 Btw the man in the tent is the writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd Graham Linehan.
King Boomer I am sure you are bombarded with requests for new shows to react to all the time, but one worth adding to the list is "The Mighty Boosh." I think the Queen and yourself would really appreciate the strange and surreal humour. For whatever reason I don't see many reactions to the show on youtube!
I mentioned "Only Fools and Horses" in another video and I'm mentioning it again, it's too good for them not to try, they'll struggle with some of the lingo but they'll get used to it
did you two realise the guy in the tent with the boss is also the guitar player from previous episodes? You may recognise him from his actual name? No? He wrote father ted? He wrote IT crowd? He wrote Black Books? His name is Graham Linehan - he's the reason for the funnies (and he's irish and he doesnt wear underwear and uses trees as rubbing branches for his athletes foot)
Black Books wasn't a Linehan show. I have no idea where this idea came from. He contributed as a supporting writer (among many) for series 1. That was it. Black Books was Dylan Morgan's project.
Love your reaction videos. I.T. Crowd is one of my fave shows of all time. Also, baby boomer’s a cutie. You must be very proud parents. Sending good vibes and well wishes to you all ❤
Matt Berry (Reynholm) does do a ton of voice over work, but the voice you hear in Rome Total War that you think is him, is probably Brian Blessed, who has a similar baritone voice. Brian Blessed is well worth checking out and reacting to, by the way. A very unique man, with an unbelievable life.
The best? What is wrong with you? He anally violated two men without consent. If that's 'the best' to you, you have a flipping screw loose. Seek professional help.
I think you are confusing Matt Berry with Brian Blessed, Matt Berry hasn’t done any voice work for the Rome: Total War series Brian Blessed has a very distinctive voice, if you know the film Flash Gordon or even just the song by Queen, Brian Blessed is the one who says “Gordon is alive!”, he also voices Boss Nass, the leader of the Gungans of Otoh Gunga, the city beneath the surface of the Lake on Naboo that Ja Ja Binks is from in the Star Wars franchise, he also voices the grumpy rabbit in Peppa Pig, the British version at least, I don’t know if they use American voice actors in the US or not, he also gave me a massive rollocking when I was a kid and I nearly pissed my pants, that’s one person you don’t want shouting at you when you are just a kid 😂 his normal speaking voice could pass through lead let alone his shouting voice, he could shout here on earth and bob the Alien could here him on Mars
Douglas is played by Matt Berry. a very famous comedy actor and singer. He probably does voice work as well but came to fame in a series called Garth Merenghi's Dark Place and also Toast of London. He's also got recognition for playing a vampire in the New Zealand series called What We Do in the Shadows which was a spinoff from the film of the same name. He's actually an amazing singer and headlines with many famous bands and musicians.
Yeah, Matt Berry does many voice overs. In his sitcom Toast of London, he actually plays a voice actor! I highly recommend you react to it, it's a great series!
@@nope66755 that’s not what he’s doing though obviously, spreading misinformation and propaganda that targets a minority isn’t ’protecting women’s rights’, it’s falling for far-right distraction tactics
@@HistoritorJimaldusno all he said is he doesn’t believe transgender people are women. Like Dave Chappelle and Harry Potter writer hardly far right opinions, but the transgender community seem to be so powerful now that they cancel anyone who dares say this
The guy who plays Douglas is Matt Berry and yes he is also a voice actor (you reacted to the Fathers Day short which he voices). I'm sure someone has previously commented to answer your question. But he is also in a show called "What we do in the shadows" about Vampires. You should definitely check that one out it's good. You might have to start with the film first though? Same as if you ever watch "This is England" start with the film... Anyway hope this helps.
The guy who plays Douglas, Matt Berry, grew up a few miles up the road from me. He is a voice actor. Done alot of spongebob stuff among others. Not sure if he did total war but many agree the voice is the same.
No idea why my last comment got deleted, but it's 100% NOT Matt Berry (Douglas) in Rome 2. I can understand the confusion though as it is a similar sounding voice. I believe that it's possibly Chris Webster.
Matt Berry also stars in House Of Fools with Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves. Well worth a watch. Matt is also a very talented multi instrumentalist and singer who's released several albums (check out his song "Solstice").
Matt Berry is a prolific voice actor whose works include several TV commercials as well as being the voice in the jingles of UK radio station Absolute Radio. In one of his other hilarious sitcoms, Toast of London, most of the episodes begin with him sat in a recording studio recording a ridiculous voice-over. He also stars in the American vampire sitcom, What We do in the Shadows, in which he plays Lazlo - a vampiric version of Douglas Reynholm.
I imagine the actor from Total War that you're thinking of is Brian Blessed. An amazing British icon, also with a very distinctive voice! If you've never seen the British comedy "Blackadder", he was in the first series, though if you HAVEN'T seen Blackadder, I'd recommend starting that from the second series 😁
Yes, Matt Berry has done a lot of voice acting. And now he is also in a new animated show, by Matt Harmon (Rick and Morty), called "Krapopolis". That one has two characters voiced by actors in The IT Crowd. Guess who is the other one.
I believe Mark Strong did the voice for Rome: Total War. But Matt Berry is also an experienced voice artists. He has a series called 'Toast of London' where many scenes are based off voice work he did.
Both Douglas and Moss have voice acted the part of droids in the new disney star wars stuff. Also check out the "volcanicity" commercials from the uk. You will recognise the voice.
It’s a Leinster accent either Cork or Kerry,I’m from Kerry and it’s been judged as the nicest accent in the world ,soft and happy with a crazy tone when cranky
Hey guys, i think I can help with the mystery of the voice over in Rome 2. As far as I'm aware, it's Mark Strong does the voice of Silanus. That might put your mind at ease. Love the reactions, particularly the IT Crowd. I mean, who wouldn't like it, right?
err no Matt Berry doesn't do voice acting for Rome Total War 2 I think the voice you are thinking of is another famous British actor Mark Strong he is in Brothers Grimsby
I've done some research and I think the only game Matt Perry (Douglas) is in is "Worms revolution". I also recently watched one of the more recent Last Week Tonight episodes. He was the voice-over for the dark Thomas the Tank Engine. The clip is "The Sad Tale of Henry the Engine - Last Week Tonight".

the only reason I don't change the station...but the manager is 6'6 and massive...so that's also the reason :D
At some point you'd better do What we do in the shadows, Matt Berry is gold in that
..or Toast of london. Might be a bit too surreal for the USA though.
Thanks for suggesting this I was about to suggest myself.
I wasn't sure it'd be as good as the film but needn't have worried, it surpasses the film at many points.
Wasn't Taika Waititi in that?
@@maxcadyuk He and Jermaine Clement created it with the 2014 movie which if they react to the tv show they should watch the movie as well.
@@maxcadyuk Yeah, if my memory is correct, it's written & directed by Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement, who is also one of the vampires.
I think Jermaine does most of the writing for the series, but I might be wrong.

The guy in the tent is played by Graham Linehan the writer
Horrendous what's happened to him
Horrendous what he's turned into
@@14percentvikinghe did it to himself
We don’t speak about him
Imagine thinking that sex chromosomes exist.
If you like the boss you really should watch "Toast of London" he stars as an actor - its absolutely bizarre and hilarious
Yes!
Agreed, great programme.
Toast is fantastic 👍
Also Year if the Rabbit
Yes, TOL is brilliant. Why has it never been popular?
Another one to watch is Black Books. By Graham Linehan too I think
Yes! I think you guys would love Black Books...
Graham only co-wrote the first series (with Dylan Moran) and hasn't even seen the later series.
I seem to remember him saying he wanted to react to Black books but there's so much smoking and drinking in it which UA-cam doesn't like, so he would have to edit it so much just to get it posted and he didn't feel it would be worth it.

Matt Berry is awesome. Watch Toast, Year of the Rabbit and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.
This is the correct playlist.
I spotted him in 2009 sci-fi movie ‘Moon.’
I like him as Beef in House of Fools
Sponge bob square pants as well the man gets everywhere, genius 😅
Matt Berry is great in Darkplace as well.
"Youuu and he were... BUddies, werent you?"
"Cordless iron! Friggin' smarts as well"
I'm a one track lover for sure. Smooth like ice, cold to the touch but not very nice.
Saw Garth Marenghi Incarcerat last night, brilliant night out!
Olive green what of it!
"I've got no time for this bullshit" is my favourite phrase when leaving a room, it works in so many situations.
In Rome Total War 2 the voice you may be refering to is Mark Strong, whom you may know from the movie The Kingsman. He played the character Merlin. They do have similar voices though.
Mark Strong is a G
Could be Rufus Jones too.
theres a dude in the total war warhammer games that either is him or a spot on impression too
Yeah I told him all this in the last video but he never read it. Maybe you'll have better luck than me 😂😂
It's never explicitly stated what it is that Reynholm Industries actually does, it's just a faceless corporate entity with lots of fingers in lots of pies.
Can I just say that yours is the best reaction channel on UA-cam by a long way
You’re too kind sir
I can think of two who are better. TBR Schmitt and Taffe 316.
The actors for Moss and Renham were in an earlier comedy called Garth Merenges Dark Place , great stuff
The guy at the beginning with the tincture is the writer of the show. Graham Linehan. He was also in the Messy Joe’s scene dressed as a Mexican. 😂
Yay! I was waiting for this. I am English and I've seen all of The IT Crowd episodes so I am so excited for both of you and to watch your reactions because it just gets better. 🤣🤣 Btw the man in the tent is the writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd Graham Linehan.
I didn’t realise that. Hilarious!
Was he not also the singer in Messy Joe's?
He was indeed!
He also co-wrote season 1 of Black Books, and made a small appearance as "man very keen to buy a book first thing in the morning".

Matt Berry is known for his distinctive voice. He does lots of TV commercials in the UK.

Matt Berry played the voice of 8B8 in the Book of Boba Fett amongst his many voice acting rolls. While Richard Ayoade played Q9-0 in The Mandalorian
The 'Wise Man' in the intro scene is one of the writers, Graham Linehan

Matt Berry is in the first season of The Mighty Boosh!
Next show should be Darkplace, very short and Douglas and Moss are in the cast

Matt Berry is also in Year Of The Rabbit tv show unfortunately they did only one series.
If you like Matt Berry (the boss) you will love him in "What We Do In The Shadows", which is also a hilarious TV show!
In the video clip it is not just the nude picture which is sublimated but the prior images too plus some of the words used; hard, thrust and others.
I've done some research and I think the only game Matt Perry (Douglas) is in is "Worms revolution".
I also recently watched one of the more recent Last Week Tonight episodes. He was the voice-over for the dark Thomas the Tank Engine.
The clip is "The Sad Tale of Henry the Engine - Last Week Tonight".

You should watch 'What we do in the shadows' tv series with Matt Berry the guy who plays Douglas Reynholm in 'The IT Crowd'
As a few others have said I also recommend Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, you'll get both Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade in that show.
The writer of IT crowd was the old man in the tent.
The new "boss" is Matt Berry. You should see him in Toast of London and What we do in the shadows.
