The malleable nature of online games means nothing is sacred, no aspect is safe from influence or enhancement. Even the recorded performance of an actor such as Peter Dinklage is a piece to be plugged into a game like Destiny - or unplugged, if someone better or with a more compatible schedule comes along.

Nolan North is taking over duties as the Ghost, your chatty companion orb in Destiny, after just one year. His role could be timeless, sure ... but nobody’s perfect. And as long as Destiny isn’t perfect, Bungie might as well put a revolving door on the Ghost’s recording booth.

Let’s cast for a spell, shall we?

“Xur, the odds of successfully surviving a moon wizard attack are approximately three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one!”

As the body, voice and soul of C-3PO, Anthony Daniels has some verified experience in playing a verbose, eternally consternated robot. There’s no shortage of horrid things to fret over in Destiny - The Vex, The Hive, that grumpy Mr. Crota - and no way to avoid countless firefights and spooky Martian caverns. He’s going to hate it, and his only R2 companion is the one that fires a loud gun.

As her stellar work in Orphan Black has shown, Canadian star Tatiana Maslany can blend into any role - an inhuman ball of talkative space minerals won’t even register as a challenge for her. You’ll totally forget it’s Maslany playing the Ghost, right until people start complaining about the fact that she hasn’t won an Emmy for it yet. Why hasn’t she won an Emmy yet? Seriously.

Troy Baker, or Nolan North 2, as he’s known among casting directors, should have little trouble compressing his considerable talents to fit inside the Ghost’s shell. He’d knock it out of the park, we know this, but there’s one other reason Troy Baker’s ubiquitous voice is an apt and inevitable part of Destiny: It’s a video game, and it’s illegal to release one without him.

Though 343 Guilty Spark has struggled to break out of menacing future-orb roles - does anyone remember his cameo as “Fancy Security Camera” on CSI: Cyber? - it might be time to fall back on what he’s best at. 343 Guilty Spark also has an in with Bungie, having worked with the studio on multiple Halo games and lore-heavy motion comics. There were some regrettable things said between parties after writers killed him off in Halo 3, of course, but he’s smoothed things over since then. Besides, if you really want to earn a grudge from Bungie,

“That pelvic sorcerer came from the moon!”

Chris Pratt is almost too cool for a video game, but Activision’s army of negotiators make a strong case when they all show up at once, in an actual case, in groupings of $10,000 or more. It’ll be money well spent to get a Ghost with all the qualities of Hollywood’s current go-to hero: inescapable charisma, a carefree embrace of adventure and some wild sex appeal.

Mmm, sexy, sexy Ghost man. Why don’t you place a nav beacon to my spaceship’s private quarters?

Forget the subservient AI routine - maybe we want the Ghost to be odd, unsettling, commanding, weird. Maybe we want Destiny’s main chatter to go through a Tilda Swinton filter, coming out in a skewed way, tingling in our ears like the demonic whispers of a dark universe throbbing just beneath our own. With every word, Tilda-bot shatters the bones of our conceptions, reducing our understanding of Destiny’s lore and our universe to a gently quivering blob. Now Destiny is an eldritch horror that we can never escape.

Shia LaBeouf does just fine as ol’ Ghosty, as we’ll come to call him around Destiny Year 4, but the important part is that he, well, did it. Standing in the mirror for a solid week, never once sitting or showering or eating, LaBeouf willed his dream into reality by shouting motivation phrases at himself. Do it. Do it. Become someone important! In Destiny, the video game!

We’ll look back fondly on this version of the Ghost, which proved that sometimes our aspirations can pay off, and that sometimes you just gotta kill Nolan North with your bare hands to get the gig. DO IT!

What’s he doing these days?

Think of how delightful Mrs. Potts was, and how adept Jessica Fletcher was at solving mysteries and corralling killers. That sounds like the kind of companion, eloquent yet inquisitive, you’d want alongside you in the fight against The Darkness. Lansbury’s considerable experience on film and stage makes her all the more fit for a Destiny Ghost - and there’s not a single grimoire card that says Jessica Fletcher wasn’t reincarnated as a whipsmart robo-sphere after she wrote all that murder. Bet you missed that aspect of the plot, didn’t you?

With the specter of George Lucas floating over every instance of a creator re-doing their work, fans will inevitably demand the return of the original Ghost from Destiny’s good ol’ days. “Dinklebot was better,” fans will say. “Perhaps we were too harsh on him,” critics will write. “Can you please kill Tyrion already and free up Dinklage’s schedule,” Bungie will whisper into George R.R. Martin’s ear. “And maybe it wasn’t entirely his fault.”

Let's face it: Destiny's voice actors don't have much they can chew into. In the year since its release, Destiny's expansions - including the megaton additions in - have done a lot to flesh out the story, but you won't find too many long monologues or gripping dramatic scenes throughout the cinematic plot. You may not even realize how many instantly recognizable actors are part of Destiny's cast, which is full of talent that in hindsight seems startlingly underutilized.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of every voice actor in Destiny - just the ones you'll definitely recognize, even if you didn't identify their voice right away. Peter Dinklage's performance as your Ghost may be , but these roles will continue to be a part of your daily Destiny routine. Knowing who reads the lines for the many supporting characters in Bungie's massively multiplayer universe could make you see those bit players in a whole new light.

In Destiny, he's: The head honcho for the Hunter class, this Exo is the guy to talk to whenever you need Hunter armor or a pep-talk on fighting the good fight. He's also crucial to the overarching story content in The Taken King.

But you probably know him better You've got at least starter-level nerd cred if you instantly recognize Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds, the rugged, dashing captain of the ragtag crew in Firefly and its film follow-up Serenity. He's also gained mainstream recognition as the lead on Castle, where he plays a crime-solving author, as well as roles in cult classics like Slither and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Judging by Fillion's numerous appearances in the Halo series, it's safe to say the folks at Bungie have a thing for Captain Hammer - and really, who could blame them?

In Destiny, she's: Warlocks know to visit this soft-spoken sage for any class-specific quests and gear whenever they stop by the Tower.

But you probably know her better Like Fillion, Torres is an alumni from the cast of Firefly/Serenity, where she played the ship's second-in-command (and distinguished crackshot) Zoe Washburne. Fans of TV drama might also recognize her from Alias and 24; more recently, Torres has played key roles as Jessica Pearson on Suits or Bella Crawford on Hannibal.

In Destiny, he's: Rounding out the Vanguard trinity at the Tower's command center, Zavala tutors Titans and doles out some early story quests.

But you probably know him better Reddick's distinct, baritone voice exudes authority, which surely helped him nail iconic roles as Phillip Broyles on Fringe and the pivotal Lt. Cedric Daniels on HBO's The Wire. He's also had some brief stints on Law Order, Lost, and Oz. Nowadays, you can catch Reddick on Bosch and the upcoming Quantum Break TV show that ties in with the game.

In Destiny, she's: One of the most mysterious (and still unexplained) parts of Destiny's main story, the Exo Stranger keeps tabs on your Guardian and eventually rewards them with a legendary pulse rifle.

But you probably know her better Fans of AMC's The Walking Dead will surely recognize Cohan as Maggie Greene, one of the most crucial survivors in the whole series. Cohan's also made appearances on Chuck, The Vampire Diaries, and Supernatural.

In Destiny, he's: The overseer of all things PvP in Destiny, Shaxx is the one narrating your team's every triumph (and failure) during each match in the Crucible.

But you probably know him better James is another recognizable face from The Walking Dead, where he plays one of Rick Grimes' earliest allies, Morgan Jones. James is also the lead of the new ER drama Critical, Robert Hawkins on Jericho, and the bumbling criminal Sol in Guy Ritchie's cult classic Snatch.

In Destiny, he's: Because that giant white orb known as The Traveller has a hard time chatting with Guardians, The Speaker is there to act as its surrogate quest-giver/speech-maker.

But you probably know him better Nighy's been in countless films and shows dating all the way back to the '80s, but his most mainstream roles include the washed-up rocker Billy Mack in Love Actually and the tentacle-faced Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean series. You may also recognize him from his parts in Hot Fuzz, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the primary villain Viktor in the Underworld franchise.

In Destiny, he's: A mild-mannered vendor representing the New Monarchy faction (with no known relation to Metal Gear Solid godfather Hideo Kojima).

But you probably know him better Remar's another veteran actor, with dozens of on-camera and voiceover roles under his belt. You most likely recognize him as father figure and imaginary confidant Harry Morgan on Dexter; he's also had some great turns on animated shows such as Ben 10 and The Legend of Korra. And I'll never forget his breakout role as the smarmy tough guy Ajax in The Warriors.

In Destiny, he's: Another peripheral vendor hanging around the Tower, representing the black-and-white-centric Dead Orbit faction.

But you probably know him better This Swedish actor's unmistakable mug has shown up all over the place, but most will know him from his roles in films by the Coen brothers, where he played the short-tempered crook Gaear in Fargo and a ferret-owning nihilist/porn star in The Big Lebowski. He's also a crucial character on Prison Break, and his lent his pipes to several other video games including and both of the Mercenaries games.

In Destiny, she's: As one of the most trusted servants of Mara Sov, queen of the Awoken, Petra Venj is the vendor for the Queen's Wrath faction.

But you probably know her better Just as Matt Stone and Trey Parker provide the voices for most of the characters on the profane cartoon megahit South Park, Stewart does the voices for the lion's share of the female cast, including iconic Colorado citizens Wendy Testaberger, Sharon Marsh, and Liane Cartman. That's right: Cartman's mom is one of the Reef's most trusted intermediaries.

In Destiny, she's: Depending on which race you choose during character creation, this could be the very voice of your personal Guardian.

But you probably know her better Griffin (who's often credited as Grey DeLisle) has hundreds of voiceovers to her name, including lead roles on classic cartoons such as Mandy on The Grim Adventures of Billy Mandy, Vicky of The Fairly Oddparents, and Frankie Foster on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. But avid gamers should recognize her distinctive voice as Catwoman from the Batman: Arkham franchise, Kitana and Mileena in , and the female Wizard in Diablo 3.

In Destiny, she's: If you prefer to make your female Guardian avatar to align with your real-world species, this is what she'll sound like.

But you probably know her better Eisenberg's distinct, strong voice has made her the perfect Wonder Woman throughout the many iterations of the Justice League animated series. She also plays a smattering of voices in Skyrim and the dreadlocked renegade Ashelin Praxis in the Jak and Daxter series.

In Destiny, he's: Known primarily as Destiny's #1 troll, Master Rahool is the Tower-stationed Cryptarch who identifies all your precious engrams, and will inevitably turn one of your precious, purple legendary engrams into a piddly, common, green piece of gear at some point.

But you probably know him better Avari has a wealth of supporting roles in his credits, including blockbusters like Stargate, The Mummy, and Independance Day. Personally, I adore his turn as a lackey with a heart of gold in Mr. Deeds. Yes, the one with Adam Sandler.

In Destiny, he's: This cloaked Exo vendor offers Guardians a wide selection of weaponry and ammo in the Tower, and is worth visiting on a weekly basis.

But you probably know him better John DiMaggio also played another famous robot, albeit one with a fouler mouth: Bender, of Futurama fame. He's another legendary voice actor credited with hundreds of roles, but some of his most iconic include Jake the Dog from Adventure Time and Marcus Fenix from the Gears of War series.

In Destiny, he's: You'll often find visitors to the Tower milling around this 'bot, given that he's the source of all those XP-boosting Bounties. You likely won't be visiting him quite as often in The Taken King, as you can now turn in completed Bounties from any location (thank God).

But you probably know him better Keating is best known as Malcolm Reed on Star Trek: Enterprise and Andrew Tyge on Prison Break. But to me, he'll always be Kormac the Templar, my most loyal follower in Diablo 3.
