Splinter Cell DA - Interview with Michael Ironside #4

[TheCyberAssassin]

I gotta point out that the clip they showed was titled incorrectly. They showed pandora tomorrow not the first game

[LiamCell]

[trishulf1]

@LiamCell sorry...no idea what you just said...

[LiamCell]

@trishulf1 i mean if mich dyes splinter cell just wont be the same with out his voice

[trishulf1]

@LiamCell oh....i get it now....missed some commas in the first attempt...not trying to be a grammar police but couldn't understand it on the first try....

cheers!

[PyramidHead2000]

I love Michael's voice, can't imagine anyone else doing Sam!

[vdosvixen]

@PyramidHead2000 Absolutely! I've been a fan of his work before he was in 'Scanners' and although the film/s/ may not be all big budget epics like 'Total Recall' & 'Starship Troopers'; he and Clancy Brown were the only real actors in that one. I heard a rumor awhile back that there were talks of a Splinter Cell film starring Keifer Sutherland!?!?! Lord only knows what kind of drugs those idiots were on. You just can't replace an actor like Ironside, impossible to even try.

[AftComet]

He's quite an intelligent man.

[dharmaseed]

@AftComet On IMDB it says: Has had a love of reading since childhood, with which he credits his father instilling in him: "My dad gave me and my brother this rule - as long as we were reading and doing nothing else, we could stay up until dawn or until we passed out...whichever came first. That's why, to this day, I'm a sucker for a good book".

[AftComet]

That's a pretty awesome dad.

[dharmaseed]

@AftComet No doubt. Talk about instilling the desire for knwoledge in your kids.

[AftComet]

Exactly. Take games for instance. That could be a great bonding (especially multiplayer gaming) between parents and their kids. But parents just choose to use them as a babysitter.

[101lekar]

FUKIN MAD AS i never new the best actor michael iron side did sam fishers voice lol splinter cell is the best game eva

[deathsapien]

Yea man i got to agree wiv ya there

[SplinterCellStealth]

i agree splinter cell is the best series of games in the world

[Aelkamal]

since V the miniseries he was the best actor i saw.

[Gforcebond]

the best voice acting ever done for a video game. Nothing even compares.

[l4dlover92]

@Gforcebond move over David Hayter

[Tvaxquivax]

@Gforcebond just maybe cpt. price's voice, i think we can compare, though im certain this wins, sure.

[SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

@Gforcebond David Bateson as 47 in Hitman is better. Just.

[darkness2217]

he was in the old show v

[Brianwwecw48]

got all the games on gamecube fixing to finish up chaos theory and play double agent i know im way to late but when you work 10 hours a day and do other things it kinda gets in the way and i take my time

[Liezka]

@Brianwwecw48 You got sum time before conviction :D

[TheLoyalGamer]

i love his voice espeacialle in the games

[1337gam3r07]

I FREAKING WANT HIS VOICE! Yay Go Canada!

[sweens06]

This guy is fucking smart

[Zoidus]

I think it could work!

[elmochipshop]

theve gota make a movie and hes gotta play sam fisher

[CamMark360]

haha 1:22

[Tycho86]

Michael Ironside kind of reminds me of Jack Nicholson.

[ksidemonslayer]

same for me, i would have thought they were brothers

[elmochipshop]

fuck same here i was just thinking that

[Pygmahia5]

haha same.

[Ninearm]

First best line, dripping with sarcasme is: HI THERE !!!

[Moiz009]

you know thats reall cool, If they make a movie on Splinter Cell, Michael Ironside could play the part of Fisher, I mean look at them, both are in their fifies ( Ironside- 58 Fisher- 51) and besides they have the same voive ( well duhh ), it would be hevk of a movie, or even if he is not in the movie, he should still do Sam's voice, even if somone ele is playing the character of Sam, Ironside rocks, and so does Fisher!

[wannabeserpento99]

moiz there is coming a sc movie 2009-2010 but ironside isnt sam fisher there iquess

[Monochrome89]

Now why couldn't David Hayter do interviews like these?

[Testocules]

because Hayter is doesn't have have the artistic talent of Ironside

[Monochrome89]

why do you say that?

[Testocules]

Primarly because Solid snake was origionally voiced my Akio Ohtsuka in all the MGS games so far, therefore Hayter does not have to give much thought to Snakes personality as long as my bases it off of Ohtsuka's previous work.

Furthermore, Ironside feels the need to, not only create, but become the personality he is acting. He mentions in various interviews that he remains in character in between takes so there is no change happening during the lunch break between takes 1 and 2.

[Monochrome89]

so basically your' saying that hayter just turnsit on and turns it off when need be, he's just a voice and not really the character.

[Testocules]

NO, I saying Hayter bases his work off the personality created by Ohtsuka, while Ironside needed to create Sam Fisher from the ground up.

[verhallt]

I don't think that's enough reason to judge Hayter as lacking in artistic talent.

[Testocules]

I'm not saying anything about Hayter lacking talent. The fact that he's voice acted in the entire MGS series is testimant to his skill, and not his lack-thereof. I'm just saying that Ironside had to create Fisher's personality from scratch, and that earns my vote for better voice actor.

[verhallt]

Okay, then. But I still don't think that David simply bases his work off of Ohtsuka. If anything, he's been successful in recreating Snake.

However, I wouldn't know who to vote for between Hayter and Ironside. I find them both equally talented.

[NeroBlack2200]

If they could put some life into those mo-cap CGI movies, then we could see a Splinter Cell movie with Ironside doing the voice.

[popcur]

There must be the technology to do that voiceover. It would be a first? For the same language?

[Ugeniex]

i gues animated yes?

[Ugeniex]

that movie vould be a animeted or an actor movie ?

[genesisoutlaw]

1:06 rofl

[Playtendokillxbox]

no other than michael ironside could do fisher

[Drakeandjosh1000]

Micheal Ironside really suits sam fisher the splinter cell movie coming out in 2010 i hope he still voices fisher.

[predatortube]

ironside rules

[jdrazor84]

love that game series

[control54]
