How much do you think it would cost to get Arnold Schwarzenegger to do a COVAS? (And any other celebrity you can think of)

To crush your fleet-carrier hopes, to see SRV's driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of those who forgot their limpets. Introduction aside, how much you reckon? And which celebrity would you like to hear, and how much for them?
I’d say you could hire Gary Oldman to do like 5 different voices in a days work
 
Given that Arnie only narrated a couple of chapters of his own autobiography on Audible, I'm guessing he would cost a lot! Btw, his autobiography is surprisingly good, especially the early chapters discussing his time doing national service in the Austrian army and his bodybuilding career.
 
I...don't know any of those people. I'm probably too old.
Claudia Black is from Farscape (3 people here know what that is )
Claudia Christian is from Babylon 5.
Tricia Helfer I think is from the new Battlestar Galactica.
Jennifer Hale is a voice actor in many games, notably female Shepherd from Mass Effect. (She's also Astrid in The Long Dark and the male protagonist in that game is the guy who did the male Shepherd).

Didn't they get Delenn from B5 to do one?

I'm 50 this year, so too old is probably not the issue, more like I don't usually recognize celebrities. I happen to know of these, though. Probably because of their Sci-fi work.
 
I don't think there's enough money in the world, but Tom Waits.

Oh, Nicolas Cage, Christopher Walken and William Shatner.

I mean we got Norman Lovett a.k.a. Holly. I'm all set, myself.

Hm, guess if I was going to have a second choice... John Barrowman.

One thing I'd prefer more than just different voices is if they had distinct personalities, variations on the lines based on them.
 
Trouble with A-list celeb's is that it's not about whether they're getting paid a reasonable amount for the work done.
Instead, it's about conforming to their perceived market-value.

Basically, a guy like Arnie doesn't really care about earning, say, $10,000 or not - even on a day when he might've otherwise earned nothing.
When you have that level of status, it's better to be the guy who you need to pay $10m for a 5-minute cameo in a movie rather than being the guy who does odds and sods of work for small-change.

Kathy Burke complete with expletives
