Nathan Drake meets Prince of Persia

PoPNolan North, the voice actor behind the infamous Nathan Drake, has been busy. His new role as the voice behind Ubisoft’s upcoming Prince of Persia game was apparently inspired by North’s portrayal of Uncharted’s hero Drake. When asked why the Prince sounded like the American Drake, Ben Mattes stated:

“When we were designing the character of The Prince and trying to identify his personality, the two characters we returned to most often were Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Both, of course, played by Harrison Ford. Nolan North showed in his characterization of Nathan Drake an uncanny resemblance to Indiana Jones both in terms of tone and delivery.”

So it looks as though we may be hearing more of North in the future what with his role in Uncharted 2 and possibly more action games of that genre. A quick look at his IMDB profile shows many voice acting roles in video games under his belt and it’s pretty obvious why.
