** In the first one you had Michael Clark Duncan, Keith David, [[Mila Kunis]], Daniel Dae Kim, etc.
*** Hey it's those three guys. [[Keith David]] played a FBI agent, Michael Clark Duncan reprisedreprized his role as Kingpin and [[Neil Patrick Harris]] was the web crawler himself in the 2003 [[Spider -Man: theThe New Animated Series]].
** [[Smug Snake]] William Sharp was voiced by the late David Carradine.

** Don't know why [[Lost|Jin]] felt so bad about hurting people when he worked for Sun's father. He seems to love doing it now.
** [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Zuko]] is ''EVERYWHERE'' in the first game. Random Saints, pedestrians, and even Vice Kings sound like they're about to start Firebending any minute.
** In ''Saints Row: The Third'', [[Troy Baker]] provides a generic Caucasian voice for the Playa, sounding very similar to [[Nolan North]].
** [[Laura Bailey]] provides the generic female voice. [[Blood RayneBloodRayne|Suddenly the vampire references make sense.]]
** [[Steve Blum]] does the zombie voice.
** [[Hulk Hogan]] comes in to voice Angel De LaMuerte, and Sasha Grey (famous for her...other works) voices Viola DeWynter.
** The Cockney voice option in The Third is provided by [[Robin Atkin Downes]].
** [[Yuri Lowenthal]] puts on a [[Fake Brit]] voice for Syndicate hacker Matt Miller(Which makes him the second Gang leader he has voiced, since he voiced Shogo Akuji in 2), and his wife [[Tara Platt]] acts as the protagonist's [[Fake Russian]] female voice.
*** Natalie Lander ([[God of War (Video Gameseries)|Pandora]]) does the voice of Kinzie
*** In addition, [[Adult Swim]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111110221827/http://www.adultswim.com/promos/201110_saintsrow/index.html has its own radio station in the game], with [[Delocated|Jon]] deejaying.

*** Tim Thomerson voices Cyrus Temple.
** Burt fucking Reynolds plays... [[Shaped Like Itself|Burt fucking Reynolds.]]
** Jane Valderama is [[Family Guy (Animation)|Asian correspondent, Trisha Takenawa.]]
** [[Michelle Ruff]] ([[Street Fighter IV|Crimson Viper]], [[Drakengard|Arioch]], and [{{[[[Lupin III|Fujiko]] Fujiko}}) is Jenny Jaros.
** The second game has a fair amount of references to anime and manga, particularly as far as the Ronin are concerned. Three of the bikes in the game are named Kenshin, Tetsuo, and Kaneda; the latter two are references to ''[[Akira (Manga)|Akira]]'', the former, possibly ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]''. Shogo Akuji and his father Kazuo are named after Shogo Kawada and Kazuo Kiriyama from ''[[Battle Royale]]''. Finally, both Shogo and Kazuo are voiced by well-known anime [[V AsVAs]]: [[Yuri Lowenthal]] and [[Steve Blum]], respectively.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** {{spoiler|Trailers and advertisements for the game showed Phillipe Loren as a much younger man and painted him up to be the final boss of the game as well as the mastermind behind the entire syndicate. In the actual game he is an old man who, while fairly badass in the short time he appears in, gets killed off early in the game and replaced with Killbane. He doesn't even get a proper boss battle.}}
** An early concept portrayed Kiki and Viola as Japanese twins named Natsuko and Yukako (nicknamed Suki and Yuki) who ran an all-female gang to counter the original all-male Morning Star concept. The two gangs were merged to streamline the story, but the twins were changed from Asian to Caucasian to avoid the whole "badass Asian chicks that are subservient to an older man" stereotype.
*** {{spoiler|It was originally planed that both sisters would join the Saints}}
