Crispin Freeman is the voice of Winston in Overwatch, its a distinctive voice and it's
quite possible you’ve heard it many times before, but maybe you’re not quite sure
where?
As well as voicing everyone's favorite scientist Crispin is an award winning voice actor with
years is the business starring in everything from the Marvel and DC TV shows and games,
Horizon Zero Dawn and many critically acclaimed Anime TV series and movies, so let’s find
out where you can catch some of his other work!
If you’re a long time Blizzard fan you might have recognised Crispin’s voice from some
of their other games.
In World of Warcraft he played Alodi in the Legion expansion
and before that Vindicator Maraad in Warlords of Draenor.
He's also the voice of the Male Wizard in Diablo 3.
And if you played Destiny you might have recognised Crispins voice as that of the Awoken Male players
One of his more recent performances was in Horizon Zero Dawn where he played Helis, one
of the main antagonists in the game.
Interestingly, the name Helis is likely derived from Helios, the Greek god of the sun, which
is also a character played by Crispin in God of War 3!
It might be surprising as he's the voice of the Winston, but villains are a bit of speciality
of Crispins in other video games.
In Bayonetta 2 be played Balder, the main antagonist in the game.
And then in the Batman Arkham series be plays Firefly, a pyromaniac terrorist.
Speaking of Batman, another fantastic performance by Crispin was in the Young Justice TV show
where he played Roy Harper, otherwise known as the Red Arrow, Speedy or Arsenal.
He picked up the role again in the recently released Teen Titans: The Judas Contract and
also played Martian Manhunter in Justice League Action,
and Superman in the Justice League Heroes
However Crispin hasn’t just performed comic book roles for DC, he's also played numerous
characters in Marvel video games including Ironman, Bullseye, Ghost Rider, Punisher,
Pyro, Gorgon, and the Winter Soldier.
He also plays a few characters in the Wolverine TV series as well as Scott Lang’s Ant Man
in The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest heroes and Loki in Marvel Disk Wars.
One of Crispin’s most notable roles was as Kyon in the English version of the Haruhi
Suzumiya TV series and Movies.
Kyon is the male lead in the Anime’s that follow the adventures of the SOS Brigade,
an unofficial school club consisting of an alien, a time traveler, an Esper (which is
a human with ESP) as well as the Haruhi herself and of course Crispin’s character Kyon,
the only normal human in the group.
The original TV series also spawned a spin off for which Crispin received an award for
his performance.
Another of his major roles was as Alucard in the Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate TV series.
Alucard is one of the main protagonists in the show and the most powerful weapon of the
Hellsing Organisation in their fight against vampires and other supernatural forces.
Crispins portrayal of the character once again netted him an award and the show itself was
awarded best vocal ensemble in an Anime TV show.
If you’ve ever watched Adventure Time you might have seen one of Crispins performances
as either the Turtle Prince or Ice President
He also plays the strict but loving parent Doug in Steven Universe.
He was even the voice of the Vilius in Tenkai Knights, the main villain in the show, as
well as some other supporting characters.
Crispin has worked on the English versions of many Anime TV series.
Including Durarara, Slayers Revolution, Eureka Seven, God Eater, Fate/Zero, Tiger & Bunny:
The Rising, and many Naruto TV shows and Video games.
He also voiced Prince Turnip in Studio Ghibli’s movie Howl's Moving Castle.
While Orlando Bloom might play Will Turner and Legolas on the big screen, when it comes
to video games its Crispin who has taken up both rolls on numerous occasions.
In the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex TV series he played Togusa, one of the most
prominently featured male characters in the show.
And in Transformers, Robots in Disguise he played Sawtooth
Crispin also maintains an amazing blog with a podcast on voice acting that's brilliant
if you are interested in his work and there is a fantastic video out there of him and
Matthew Mercer (the voice of McCree) playing overwatch together and staying in character the whole time
So how many of these games, movies and TV shows did you recognise the voice of Winston
in?
Let me know in the comments, and which of Overwatch’s other amazing voice actors do
you want us to look at next!
