Midway Games today announced that it has cast blockbuster Hollywood talent Michael Clarke Duncan and Rachel Griffiths to lend their voices to its highly anticipated action-horror video game, The Suffering: Ties That Bind.

Cast in the role of Blackmore, the behind-the-scenes manipulator who seems to be pulling the strings in Ties That Bind, is Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile, Armageddon, The Scorpion King and Sin City). Duncan's deep, powerful voice as Blackmore will influence and antagonize players, just as Blackmore does to the game's main character, Torque.

Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under, Blow) brings her sublime voice talents to the character Jordan, the woman in charge of a strange paramilitary research outfit that has been conducting cleanup on Carnate Island, the site of the prison in The Suffering. Jordan now finds herself teamed up with Torque as they battle their way through Baltimore in The Suffering: Ties That Bind.

"The recognizable names and voices of Michael Clarke Duncan and Rachel Griffiths add to the cinematic and visceral elements that are the hallmarks of The Suffering franchise," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "Their voices and characters play a key role in guiding the game's hero, Torque, through an edge-of-the-seat American-style horror experience in The Suffering: Ties That Bind."
