* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Dominic Armato was a huge fan of the first two games, and would tell his friends that his dream project would be voicing Guybrush in a third game, which at the time seemed unlikely to be made. When he was called in to audition for a part, he didn't know what he was going in for at first, and when he discovered what role and game it was, he says he nearly fainted. His sheer enthusiasm and love for the series won over the creators and got him the part. His wonderful performance as Guybrush in the third game and subsequent installments (and the remakes of the first two) is one of the only things the [[Broken Base]] seems capable of agreeing upon.
