Familiar voices and sort-of-familiar faces will bring a human touch to Need For Speed: The Run, Electronic Arts said on Tuesday.

Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) and Sean Faris (The King of Fighters) will play the main characters of the new racing game, to be released on November 15. Faris will play Jack Rourke, a race car driver who's being hunted by the mob. Helping him out is savvy racing manager Sam Harper (Hendricks), who bankrolls Jack in his illegal street races.

"I got a kick out of seeing myself in the game, it’s totally me," said Faris in a statement that was probably written by a public relations representative and emailed to Faris' manager for approval.

Need For Speed: The Run will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and PC.
