Nolan North is in too many games, the only character his voice suits is Drake. Why the hell do developers keep hiring him? It's really bloody off putting hearing him in every other game you play.

Anyone else think that the person who named Desmond Miles from AC was a LOST fan? Both are the first names of major characters in LOST

I wouldn't be surprised by that, AC1 had this LOST feeling to me with the mystery stuff
 
Dear Devs:

Please use Mr. North in more roles outside of his normal speaking voice (the Drake). He has talent, just listen to his work as Sigmund from A Crack In Time or Vossler in Final Fantasy XII.

Thank you.

just seeing this thread made me vomit

i hope the real nolan north has a body guard, because someday kittonwy or some other uncharted fan is going to try to cut off his ear as a keepsake or something

Nolan North...greatest video game voice actor who ever lived?

Really???

I'm with you 100%, awesome voice actor and probably my favourite.

Yes, because LOST invented the names Desmond and Miles...

...not to mention Assassin's Creed 1 (which had Desmond) came out before Miles was even introduced in the series.
C'mon now.
 
Natalie Portman dude would say this is stalkerish j/k :lol

I thought Nolan North was the main male character from that show Castle but I guess not

Miles was introduced in the 4th season of LOST (2008), Assassin's Creed released in 2007. So I don't think so. :)
 
You know, I'm sure he thinks he's doing the right thing in taking all these jobs and putting food on his table, but in reality he's just being a greedy jerk he's Nathan Fucking Drake and that's all he'll ever be and now Uncharted isn't nearly as special as it used to be thanks to his job hoarding and the no-talent creatively-bankrupt game developers who hire him and now Uncharted is no better than Dark Void which fails to the floor jesus.

He does have range, however this thread is not really needed. I don't go around making a thread for my favorite actor in Offtopic do I now?

Im so glad Gaf found someone new to jerk off to, I was getting tired of hearing about how that dude from Firefly should play every role in every game adaptation.

God, that reel is either atrocious or generic. Animation voice actors aren't what they were in the 1st half of the century, and that was much worse. Also, I hate his regular voice's smugness and the games he stars in. BOO.

How great is he if he basically plays the same character every time? He plays the Dark Void guy exactly like Drake. I'm sure companies are paying for that performance, but it only really works on Drake.

Funnily enough, I'm sure most of GAF still believes Nathan Fillion should take the lead in an Uncharted movie... OVER Nolan North.
