The Green Mile actor Barry Pepper to voice Prototype lead
New details have emerged surrounding
Prototype, Radical Entertainment's sandbox-style successor to
Hulk:Ultimate Destruction, specifically concerning whose voice we'll be hearing when the shape shifting protagonist Alex Mercer flaps 'genetically mutated' lips. Mercer will be voiced by
Barry Pepper, who some may recognize for his role as Officer Dean Stanton in
The Green Mile, or for his arguably most memorable work as Jake in one episode of
Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years.
Other voices confirmed for
Prototype include
NYPD Blue's
Gordon Clap and
CSI's
Paul Guilfoyle, both of which publisher Sierra note as being appropriate additions to the cast given the game's "uniquely mysterious and conspiracy-filled plot."
Prototype is expected to change shape and smash New York City later this year for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
