I have this odd theory about 8, and it's a bit out there but I'll go for it anyway. Each of the characters represent a certain aspect about the Scientist - 8 for some reason to me felt more like a filler character than an actual personification of anything. But then I thought, ok - if that were true then why, of all the dolls present when 8 first cameto be, does 8 attaches himself to 1? Why is 8 so seemingly immature despite his grown up voice and stature? For example, what kind of personality aspect gets a kick out of roughing up other dolls, and goes all googly eyes "Ooooh!" at a shiny light? Then it hit me - what if 8 is supposed to be the personification of the Scientist as a youth? It would explain how 8 is both childish and thick-headed. Also, if the Scientist idolized his father, wouldn't that transcend into 8's personality, thus explaining his dedication to 1? I would love it if that were the case!! OMG 23!!! I love that theory! That explains alot! Aaawwww, Baby 8 and 1 Papa Pimp. XDDDD

Wow, that theory makes a lot of sense! 1: "8! Don't run with scissorblades!"

Poor 8, i can only imagine what's going through his head when 1 is caught by the seamstress.... (and he even has to watch that happen)

You know, I'm beginning to think maybe 8 will be the one that doesn't have many lines; in fact, I can see him having no lines. I can see them playing up the "brainless brute" to the point where he basically says nothing and just makes noncommittal noises when he wants to get a point across to someone.
It wouldn't surprise me at least.

I hope he speaks though... He's one of the Halo 3 Brutes...

Souds like true, Kam. All I know about Fred Tatasciore, 8's voice, is that he voiced Hulk in animated series. But there was only roaring and screams. It's very likely that 8, 1's man, won't speak in the movie.

I can see 8 maybe saying small liners like "Look out!" and shouting the number's number.

Yes, I'm starting to see it more of a possibility that 8 will either just grunt in the movie or have a few small lines. Which I'm not worried about at all! Did you see how expressive 8 was in the winged beast clip? I thought he was the most expressive ragdoll of the group. 8's starting to become a favorite of mine just because of his versatile expressive nature. ^^

He just doesn't seem like a character they'd need to flesh out all that much... I mean right from the moment I saw him in the trailer, I understood exactly what he was like.

Which kinda makes me mad. Considering how complex certain characters like 1 and 6 are, 8 seems to get the short end of the character development stick. Although, when you think about it, having him talk at the very end unexpectedly could come off as corny if not worked around delicately. But yeah, I like the VA for 8 since I love Halo. So you could say I'm watching the movie for 8

I think I read somewhere that 8's voice is done by Shane Acker's old classmate... So I would think that he has more to say during the movie then"GRRR" and "DUUR", since Shane picked the actor out specifically. I could be wrong, though...

Oooh, that would be neat! Can I have the sauce with that pasta? Sauce = fancy pronunciation of source

Yeah, sorry. Should have done that before geektyrant.com/2009/06/9274/"8 is voiced by Fred Tatasciore, who studied animation at UCLA with director Shane Acker, where he became known for his voiceover talents on other student's films. Fred was enlisted to voice 8, the "brawn to 1's brain if you will", says Acker."

Ah, that's so cool! Perhaps we'll get some decent lines out of 8 after all!
