EDIT: Literally WTF with the downvotes. If you disagree you can comment it, but why remove visibility from the thread? so we can have 5 different Swain teaser threads in hot?
noshmo3 votesI believe he sounds more like James Faulkner (Randyll Tarly from Game of Thrones).
Dragon Master2 votesDon't think so
DeadUnborn1 votesdude they sound the same. Why don't you think so?
Garentheon3 votesBecause they don’t sound as similar as you think
Nethhemar2 votesEveryone has had some pretty good guesses so I think I will leave mine. If any one has played Dragon Age: Inquisition, then you'll know who I;m think of.

I'm convinced it is the voice actor of Corypheus. Those two clips just sound so similar, but I could be wrong. [sg-lulu]
Sukishoo1 votesYeah, I don't hear it.
Plus, Riot wouldn't get big actors like him as they generally have voice over artists only and they aren't all that well known (only a few of them, but they still do mostly VO work for anime/video games not Disney).
DeadUnborn1 votesAt least in LAN they do use high profile actors. For example in latin american spanish Kled has Bender's spanish voice (for other regions like Japan as well). It is not so much that they are cheap, I think it has more to do with scheduling conflicts and restrictions they have when hiring actors. Swain being such a high profile character I don't think it is to farfetched to think they could hire a well know actor
Well known actors =publicity for the game
iBubster1 votesSounds a lot alike, but again, Riot is kinda too greedy to spend that much for the voice of one champ right?
DeadUnborn1 votesMmm I'm not so sure. At least in LAN they do use high profile actors. For example in latin american spanish Kled has Bender's spanish voice (for other regions like Japan as well). It is not so much that they are cheap, I think it has more to do with scheduling conflicts and restrictions they have when hiring actors.

Well known actors =publicity for the game
ILoveMyCereals1 votesPeople are down voting because you said you have proof when all you have are two clips and a guess that's as good as anyone else's. Proof would be a statement from Riot or the voice actor.
While I don't claim to know the real voice actor, I'd actually be willing to put money on it being Darin De Paul. He's been in a few things, but I know him as the voice of Valkorion in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Listen to the clips, the voice similarities are uncanny.

I see your point about famous actors for voices, but judging from most of their voice actor history it seems like they like to hire video game voice actors. Examples would be Antony Del Rio for Ekko, who also voice Pit and Dark Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising and Smash Bros, and Laura Bailey, who's been in lots of games like Uncharted, Gears, and Halo.
ace dreadwound1 votesIt is 100% the narrator from darkest dungeon.
fugertech1 votesNo, the VA for the narrator is a lot deeper and more grind-y. Otherwise, that would be freaking awesome.
Florïen Black1 votesI wish it was true. Jeremy Irons has an amazing voice and he is an overall great actor.
Velfarion1 votesIt would be amazing if it was Jeremy Irons, but I don't think it is. My first thought was that it was Earl Boen, who is the race intro narrator in WoW
Reconsile1 votesHonestly sounds more like Neil Kaplan. The guy that voices the english Naruto Shippuden game and anime for Madara Uchiha. Riot also uses same voice actors for multiple champs, I forget them off the top of my head, iirc i think kayle and soraka have the same actor. Any event, it would make sense following this theme, since Neil voices Rhaast and Sol
Picklest Rick1 votesIt is not Jeremy irons. Im 99% sure it’s james Faulkner aka Lord Randyll Tarley.
