Christopher Parson provides the voice for Junkrat’s insane ramblings in Overwatch
But it's quite possible you’ve heard him before in one of his many other roles, but
maybe you’re not quite sure where?
As well as voicing the explosive obsessed criminal Chris is an incredible voice actor
who’s played characters in everything from Rango to Family guy, as well as Final Fantasy,
Metro, and Batman Assault on Arkham!
So let's find out where you can find some of his other work!
He's played a number of roles in other video games but one of his biggest was in Final
Fantasy 15 as Gladiolus.
Actually quite a few voice actors from Overwatch also worked on the game, in fact in a DLC
for the game you play as Gladiolus and fight against a character voiced by Matthew Mercer,
otherwise known as McCree!
If you’ve played either of the 2 most recent World of Warcraft expansions there is a good
chance you have already heard Chris in action as for both updates he provided the voice
for Akama.
Another of his big gaming voice over roles was in Metro Last Light where Chris provided
the voice for the player character Artyom
In the Skylanders games he provided the voice of Wham-Shell
In Assassin's Creed Revelations he voiced the leader of the Ottoman brotherhood of assassins
Yusuf Tazim
There is also a pretty good chance you’ve heard him in the background of one of your
favorite games as he's provided additional voices for titles like Mafia Three, Rise of
the Tomb Raider, Infamous 2 and GTA 5.
Another recent role was in the movie The Son of Bigfoot, where he played Bigfoot himself.
One of his roles in a major movie was in Rango where he provided the voices for numerous
characters, such as Hazel Moats and Kinski.
In Batman: Assault on Arkham he played the Stout Guard
In Family Guy he played B.B. King and provided the voice for Charlie Sheen
And then in the Cleveland show he played Michael
Cera.
One of Chris’ early roles was in an animated political satire as part of the Half hour
news hour where he played Guy White
Another of his early performances was in a similar animated political show called Lil’Bush
Resident of the United States where he voiced elementary school versions of George Bush,
Al Gore and John Kerry.
If you’ve watched
pretty much anything on the SyFy channel in the past few years you have almost certainly
heard him before as he's been the voice of the channel since its rebranding.
Those are just a few of Chris’ roles but which is your favorite or is there one we
missed?
