- Recently Earl Boen, an actor and voice actor for the World of Warcraft Intro Cinematics passed away. After hearing this sad news, I decided to learn more about him and rewatch all of the original 8 Race Intro Cinematics from World of Warcraft Classic.

The intros to this day are still my favorite voice acting in the game, the second you heard them for the first time it disconnected you from real life and immersed you in the game. RIP Earl Boen, a Hero has fallen..
His voice carried so much nostalgia with it.
The very first introduction to your character when first playing world of warcraft is such a vivid memory and an intense feeling for so many people. Amazing work Earl Boen.
Thank you so much for honoring my Dad, he is missed very much.
Damn, rip earl. I always knew him from WoW, but never knew he was in so much stuff. Apparently he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last fall.
I know smoking isn't the only cause of lung cancer, but if you're reading this; please quit. Your time here on earth is very brief, don't shorten it by smoking. I recently quit a few years ago, zyn was a life saver. Try it if you haven't; it's literally nicotine salt and no tobacco.
Was just randomly checking the "2023 in video games" wikipedia page and came upon his passing. I didn't know his name until now but I always liked listening to his voice when I made a new character. It was somehow nostalgic from even the first time I heard it.
Great video :) Keep up the great work!
when i did a quest in dragon flight, the time traveling is where i just heard his voice for the dk, they didnt even redo it, same as classic. textures and all.
wait, the shrink from Terminator 2 was the narrator for the oldschool WoW racial intros?? i didnt even know that, damn. sorry to hear that he passed, i rolled every race back in Vanilla and then some, never knew it was him, he sounded deeper than he did in the movie.
One of the greatest voices of all time. I still think of these intros to this day. Nothing beats old Vanilla WoW intros.
I was not aware that he was a voice actor LOL, His part in T2 is extremely memorable for me. I saw it as a kid and he has 2 really unlucky encounters, one with a Ravaging Sarah Connor trying to escape and another with the T-1000 in Pursuit of the Connors. when I was a kid and saw that part, i was like: :O with the effects they used in that movie, for back in those days it felt intense. thanks for makin this video about this unsung Hero, may he RiP
Thank you for making this! His voice helped so much to create the inmersive experience of the game right at the start. RIP
Respect 🫡
Thank you for this! His iconic voice will always echo in my mind. I didn't know much about him either, but RIP to him!
Man... this really brings back some memories, cheers
Wow I never knew it was Earl Boen!
Teldrassil was blessed in one the the Cataclysm novels. However, it was because Fandral Staghelm was slain in Firelands. He was the source of Teldrassil being corrupted
He was the voice for Sacrifice too! If you remember that pc game! RIP Icon!
So fcking sad that another voice acting legend has passed away.
The starter for races would never be as epic, if it had not had his introduction to them
Dam man, nice job 👏 I hope you get more traffic to your channel for your video
Regarding the Trolls and their almost defeat by the Murlocs is recounted and fought in WC3 during the Rexxar campaign. :)
@corthec , the trolls were only with a few hundred left, and the murlocs were with a couple thousand, hence why they were driven out so easily.
I get the impression you haven't seen the Terminator films (and when I say "Terminator films" I mean the real ones; the ones that matter -- The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day). I highly recommend you check them both out!
😢*Salute
Wow classic is such a masterpiece
You didn't know about him as an actor? Younger people walk around clueless.
You'd get more popularity had you included the videos as well.
No monetization, but who cares? Now you don't even have views to monetize from it.
Yo this is actually freaky. I literally i stg just google earl boen yesterday and yesterday he was sttill alive. I googled him because I wanted to know who did the voices for WoW narration and then i remembers he was in terminator 2 also. wtf is this. i seriously just googled this guy YESTERDAY and said "damn the WoW team needs to hire him back ASAP for narrator" he's not getting any younger. wtaf
A friend of mine had literally just complained he wasn't used for the Allied Races. He apparently specifically said "He's still alive!' Only to be told he died the day before
Had to turn it all the way up to even hear earl then when you talk its extremely loud and intrusive. You played yourself kid
Pretty sure he voiced the Post-Cataclysm trailers too (Up to Pandaren, excluding Allied Races I think?) if you wanted to watch those too.
I love the Tauren so much too, by far my favourite Race in the game. Sad they don't get to do more in the game.
Sad to hear about his passing.
I thought chen's VA voiced thr Pandaren intro, but I will have to check. But he didncome back for the Cata re-records.
@@DIEGhostfish Oh, that makes sense actually. Been a while since I've made a Panda lol.
But he def did the Cata intros :D
Maybe I'll make a second video tribute to him and watch those! I skipped a few in this video because I did not want the video to be too long. I am also missing the Blood Elf, Draenei, Worgen, Goblin, and Death Knight Intros voice by him as well :)
Man the tauren intro with the music was always among my favorites, both nostalgic and soothing for me. And the one post-Cataclym carried so much sadness in it too 😥😢
Dwarfs..... not dorfs.... huge annoying difference.
Was about to make a comment about that also. 😂
