There are 2 more pieces of fiction being released, a book of the C2 script and a comic (if they haven't come out already, haven't checked as I don't read video game tie-in novels). Apparently in a comic written by Richard Morgan, that bridges C1 and C2, he goes onto explain that Alcatraz's lungs have been ruptured and that is the reason why he doesn't talk through the game. If there was a bunch of dialogue written for Alcatraz that was cut from the final game, that really is craptastic, I am beyond tired of the mute protagonist, and from what I've read so is Richard Morgan (he has a section of his blog dedicated to reviewing his favourite games, although it hasn't been updated in ages).
It's pretty rare for a design from the start of the project being exactly the finished project.
People change their minds along the way of development and this might have been changed too, besides I don't find this guys voice that interesting, Prophets voice however is awesome.
