Nolan North as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series

Nolan North, Nathan Drake

Over twenty years ago, North started his run on the late-’90s/early-2000s soap opera Port Charles. It was right around that time he started to dabble in video game work, providing voices in Interstate ’82 and EverQuest II. His voice work in games continued, even as he kept showing up on various TV programs. While he was recording lines for games like Call of Duty 2 and Final Fantasy XII, he still managed to fit in appearances on Malcolm in the Middle, NCIS, and Modern Family.

His biggest role by far, though, has to be that of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. A video game.

In Uncharted, which has spanned four games over the course of nine years, North both provided the voice acting for Nathan Drake, as well as the motion capture work. In an interview with Tech Radar, North spoke about how similar acting in Uncharted was to his past work: “For a lot of games, you’re in a booth. You’re alone,” he said. “Uncharted is more like doing live action than it is doing any of the other games.”

And North, somehow, someway, has found more time to do it all. He recently wrapped up seven seasons of the TV series Pretty Little Liars. And he’ll soon play the part of Edward Richtofen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
