Splinter Cell Voice Actor Doesn't Like Violence

[cobra_ky]

He's an old dude whose understanding of video games ends with Pac-man Fever. Has he ever complained that one of his movie roles was too violent?

 

[Outamyhead]

Crap the guy was in Total Recall for fudge sake, anyone remember the blood and boob fest that was!???

Unless you count Sea Quest DSV, I don't think he has had a passive non aggressive role?

 

[Boba Frag]

Well I'll be damned.

Huh. I wouldn't call Splinter Cell a terribly violent game series.... a good deal of the "unpleasantness" isn't seen in the game. I've never actually seen Sam stab captives in the interrogation sequences... That came after if I was in a bad mood or the ROE changed! lol

Still, I'm glad he's found a new liking for the role.
Fisher wouldn't be Fisher without Ironside's gravelly tones

Also- I creamed my jeans when I saw Conviction on the coming soon list.
Pre-order here I come!

 

[Boba Frag]

That's surprising...
Still, its good to see that Ironside is trying to stand by his... convictions.

XD
fuckin A!

Isn't this the guy who got ripped in half in that one scene in Starship Troopers? Yeah, too violent my ass.

 

[cobrausn]

So he's an idealist willing to sell out for money?

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I believe that there's your definition of "Irony"

Oh ha ha.

Ironside is Canadian?! SWEET!

Ha. I see what you did there.

OT: He thought it would be like PONG? Is the first Splinter Cell that old to be associated with pong?

 

[Antari]

He may not like violence but he certainly doesn't have that big a problem with it. Especially when big bags of money are involved. Look at his past work lol.

I CANNOT wait for this game. It's going to be awesome. After this long of wait...it better be! (I'm looking at you too Alan Wake.)

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Well like Ted Dibiase says "Everybody's got a price" and this situation makes it all the more true. But despite his ignorance towards video games i can forgive him slightly for giving a damn good voice to a memorable character.

 

[DividedUnity]

Michael Ironside does not like violence?!?!

Splintercell was like pong?

Whats going on here?!?!?!

It all makes sense now. Third Echelon was like one of the paddles. The bad guys were the other. And sam was the ball

Wow. Immense

 

[chstens]

This reminds me of when Matt Damon didn't want to do Mo-cap and VO for the Jason Bourne game because he doesn't like violence.

 

[Caiti Voltaire]

Just goes to show, everyone has a price.

 

[Starke]

I believe that there's your definition of "Irony"

Wow, that pun was physically painful...

In all honesty, this doesn't surprise me that much though.

This is kind of a sad article. Not because I don't agree about the violence thing, but because he abandoned his morals in the first place for money.

Morals don't pay the bills, I hate the capitalist system but I still go to work and pay my taxes so I can afford to buy you know food, pay the rent, etc.

The only people who can let their moral guide them are the ones who don't have to worry about money, either wealthy or without responsibilities, by that I mean say a priest doesn't have a family to feed, he can stand by his moral convictions and starve if he wants, I couldn't do that to my family who need me to bring home the rent money.

Ironic, Yet hilarious.

But it wasn't a life/death situation. He just wanted the money.

He is fairly well known but he isn't exactly an A list actor with tens of millions in the bank, he might have a nice house, a nice car, and a nice life style, but turning down jobs that will cover the cost of a new car or maybe your living expenses for a year? not going to happen.

When you've got a family you just don't pull shit like that.

I suppose. Still kinda despressing though. That's why I'm a socialist.
