The actor from Goose Bay, N.L., has voiced dozens of characters in popular franchises such as Star Wars, Spider-Man and the Halo video games. Because of this, voice actors who are part of the SAG-AFTRA union in the U.S. are currently striking against 11 of the largest gaming publishers in the industry. As well, video game voice actors are seeking bonus payments for work on games that sell over two million copies — i.e. Scott Witlin, a lawyer representing the video game companies in the union negotiations, calls this request "fundamentally unfair." Actor & screenwriter David Hayter built a large fan following thanks to his role as Solid Snake in the Metal Gear video games.
