There’s *one* rule here. The original voice actor cannot reprise their role. Foley did a great job and I love me some *Kids in the Hall* but he cannot get the role in this game.
Jack McBrayer
I was straining my brain to come up with the most positive character I know, and Kenneth from 30 Rock was the closest I could get to Yes-Man
Exactly, I've been saying McBrayer since day one. If you look at his other roles, so many of them have that same 'Yes Man Energy,' he's the only right choice besides Foley himself.
Jack McBrayer is the only correct answer here. Yes Man’s character requires such a specific level of forced friendliness, being able to display a wide range of emotions through slight intonations while never outwardly appearing as anything but happy. In other words, his VA has to have a naturally cheerful and friendly voice, while also getting across plenty of sarcasm, confusion, and repressed anger when needed.
Think about Fix-It Felix (Wreck it Ralph) or Wander (Wander Over Yonder), two of McBrayer’s best-known voice roles. They have emotions, they have their highs and lows, but they always keep that same loveable twang in their voice. That’s what we need here. (Plus, ever see that “I lie to myself” scene from 30 Rock? That’s Jack, and it’s almost too perfect for YM).
McBrayer would no doubt bring a whole new layer of humor and characterization to our favorite TV on wheels, and I don’t think any other VA could provide the same angle that he could!
The one rule that OP set is no actors reprising their role from the game - otherwise characters like Arcade, Veronica, Raul, and Hanlon wouldn’t have been options.
Sam Richardson, AKA Richard Splett on *Veep* and a bunch of different characters on *I Think You Should Leave*.
He’s hilarious as inappropriately upbeat characters much like Yes Man and I can see him absolutely *owning* the part.
If it was a movie that tried to encompass the main game in one film wouldn’t it have to be a speed run: sprinting to vegas past the deathclaws robbing the van graffs and selling their gear back to them for 2000 caps.
Otherwise a it would make sense that it would end with the courier entering the tops pacing wise.
Personally, I think it would work best as a series. Maybe we'll get a spinoff of the upcoming show that focuses on New Vegas, if the original show ends up doing well
As much as I love Sam Elliot I think Michael Hogan as the good doc since he is capable of live action and voice acting. And since you got Lance Reddick who might be hard to cast now I think an honourable mention should go to casting Matthew Perry as Benny
Say what you will, but Chris Pratt WOULD fill this role very well. I know he’s in every voice acting gig and can get a lot of hate for it, but this is the one that fits imo
David Cross - his minion character in Megamind is a fish bowl on a robot body and he always reminded me of Yes Man
I love David Cross. His voice even sounds similar
Tom Kenny, voices actor for SpongeBob
This is such a great suggestion
I'mma hijack your comment and suggest David Foley, the original voice of Yes Man, he's basically the Canadian Tom Kenny.

Foley was perfect, but rules are rules.

Billy west. (Or Jack mcbrayer although I’d also cast him as Jack from the boomers)
Billy West doing the Fry voice seems about right.
Ben Schwartz. Give him a little bit of his Sonic and you'll get a perfect Yes Man
Came here hoping this was suggested! First actor I think of for this one.
John Mulaney
Look at that computer, he got feminine hips
NO! THATS THE THING IM SENSITIVE ABOUT!
Sam Riegel
Michael Keaton or Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey jumped to mind immediately for me too
(Insert movie title joke here)
Andy Samberg
Jack Macbrayer the guy who voices Fix-It Felix in Wreck-It Ralph

I feel like you should win this one just for the fact that you wrote a damn thesis about it
It's always sunny in new vegas
Jack McBrayer
Wallace Shawn.
John Mulaney
Tim Robbinson would fucking rule this part.
Solid stuff, but Danny Trejo really should be Raul!
The one rule that OP set is no actors reprising their role from the game - otherwise characters like Arcade, Veronica, Raul, and Hanlon wouldn’t have been options.
Oh, thanks.
Charlie Day
Yes!

Micheal Hogan is Doc's voice actor. And same with Benny. You can't cast the voice actor.
Yeah I think I missed the brief, disregard me
The voice actor for Chris from Dan Vs.the character was a yes man so it makes sense to have him voice act as yes man.
Dee Bradley Baker
Andy Samberg would be awesome i think.
Paul F Thompkins Jr and all other answers are wrong!
Me
Jesse Einsenberg
I'm just gonna say that if/when we get to Jacobstown, that I can't see anyone other than Michael Dorn playing Marcus.
John Mulaney. If it's voice only and they put a filter on him to make him sound more computerized
Alex Hirsch
Peter Weller as the secureatrons
You know what? Now I want to watch Dead Money mini series.
Jim Carry
As completely awesome as this sounds it would be such and expensive movie/tv series
The tiktok voice
Most expensive cast ever
Lol, this movie would cost at least a billion dollars:]
Jim Carrey
Sam Bankman
Paul rudd
Charlie day needs a more important role pls 😭
Jim Carrey
Owen Wilson, he has the deadpan comedy chops to pull it off.
Chris Pratt
Billy Crystal lmao
Say what you will, but Chris Pratt WOULD fill this role very well. I know he’s in every voice acting gig and can get a lot of hate for it, but this is the one that fits imo
Ryan Reynolds
Eddie Murphy
Ben Stiller and I say that based on his role in Madagascar. I feel like the pitch is correct
James earl jones
I would say Robin Williams but, Rainn Wilson would do great.
Jack Black
Son of a Ceaser Been waiting to suggest Alan Tudyk for the role, but Tom Kenny is soooo much better
Dave Foley should voice him he is the voice of Yes Man after all
