Oh it's easy, they just googled "Roland voice lines" and he sounds like a perfect role for Kevin heart.
Could he pull off the borderlands 2 Roland intro? I don't think so, but I've been surprised before.
What really has me saddened is the whole pisswater gully bit. Tiny Tina is a native of pandora, Roland and Lilith are not (to my knowledge). So if anything, the roles should have been entirely reversed because:
It makes more sense.
It's way funnier.
Which means they're messing with backstory of the characters to match... nothing. Because it doesn't seem to make the writing better, and it differs from the original. It would also match Tiny Tina's character so much better and mitigate the annoying whiny child part of the character that is just SHINING through this trailer.
Yes, that whiny child part bugged me a lot. It doesn't fit Tina at all.
Oh, yeah, they completely failed to get what makes Tina an interesting character. She's constantly putting up this mask of being the toughest, meanest badass who's seen it all and done it all (all of which is an attempt to hide the fact that she's a scared, traumatized child).
