TF2: Meet the Voice Actor - The Soldier (Rick May)

Hi! I'm Dr. Ether of EtherCast! [EXPAND FOR MUSIC AND MORE INFO]

Music used:
Intro and Outro: Legacy - Vince DiCola

Today we'll taking an overview at the work of Rick May, the voice of our favorite crit-rocketing soldier.

The Internet Movie Database notes that most of his non-TF2 work took place in Star Fox 64, a video game that he voiced several roles in. In a way, this is almost as much about the voices of Star Fox 64 as it is for Team Fortress 2. Go figure. He's a magnificent voice actor, and I wouldn't be surprised if has has done more work not noted on imdb.com.

With the exception of the first Wolf clip, the Star Fox 64 footage comes courtesy of KeijiDragon, and the Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves footage comes courtesy of lyokodude122. Please support the full, original releases on their channels if you are interested in either of the games.

Rick did not voice General Pepper, that was David Frederick White. He also was not the voice of the narrator, that was Jay Green!

IMDb says different. What's your sources on those credits?

@Thermalfusi0n

If you read some of the recent comments, you'll see that that role and the Narrator are in dispute. The other three appear to be solid, though.

PEPPER IS THE SOLDIER ? MIND = BLOWN
