I'm curious to know what the gaming world thinks of David Hayter, famous for voicing Solid Snake but also responsible in part for many fascinating components of the accumulated digital and audiovisual entertainment body of work...
A brief look at his wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hayter#Filmography] page (forgive me) reveals that he acted in and wrote (or at least co-wrote) X-men, he apparently wrote 'The Scorpion King', X2: X-Men United, and Watchmen (at the time considered genius). He has voice acting roles in Metal Gear Solid, of course, but also Dragon Age: Inquisition and Star Wars: The Old Republic, in which he is the voice for the male Jedi! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3QKMJVGw7I] (This surprised me because the male Jedi doesn't sound one bit like Snake)
Despite this glittering CV, however, Hayter doesn't seem to be so widely known outside of his role as Snake - or is he? I'm not sure really, I'm sure the majority of you all are much more clue'd in than I.
Anyway, at times he is an achiever, at other times he is a laughing stock [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9XOSzVb0O0], so I simply ask:
What do you think about David Hayter?
Furthermore, while I do not wish to copycat the thread from last week, do you have any thoughts on Hayter's being replaced for MGS V? What do you think the reasons for this were?
Are there any other voice actors who occupy anywhere near the place in our gaming lives that Hayter does?
