I think starting in anime, like I did, gave me a good idea of how to approach games that come from Japan. Japanese developers can be very different from companies here in the western market.

It's fun to grow with a character over the course of a TV series. Video games are usually a much more condensed process.

It's nice, because after you've worked with various directors and producers enough times, they start to know your voice and what you're capable of.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

The first Nintendo game I ever got was 'Clash at Demonhead.' I got into anime and manga thanks to that Canadian classic, 'Sailor Moon.'
