I think Bowie is about Zero's age by that game if he is voiced by him, right? Well, I guess that means we'll suddenly start hearing a combination of Jareth, Emperor Mateus of Palamecia and Albert Wesker from Zero (yes, I know the latter two weren't actually voiced by Bowie [being voiced by Christopher Corey Smith and D.C. Douglas, respectively], but their voices were certainly modeled after him, at least in part in the case of Wesker).

Zero's 75 in TPP, David Bowie is 68 now. And he doesn't have the voice of a 68 year old man!
