One of the biggest games of the year is coming right at the tail end of 2022. Krafton's The Callisto Protocol is going to be huge, and not only because of the epic set pieces in between the jump scares. The voice (and motion capture) cast happens to be an excellent line up.

Isaac Clarke was silent in the first Dead Space (an earlier title by Glen Schofield, this game's creator) but The Callisto Protocol's narrative looks to be a dialogue-fuelled and character-interaction-driven story. It looks like these performers had the opportunity to flex their acting chops.

So, who exactly are the actors breathing life into this new title? And do we know their faces and voices? Keep reading to find out who's lending their talents to The Callisto Protocol, and where you might have seen or heard them before!

Where do you recognise The Callisto Protocol voice actors from?

The game's star, Josh Duhamel (who plays the main character Jacob Lee), is a famous face whose career has spanned many a genre. He first gained fame as Leo du Pres in the sitcom All My Children, but has also made a name for himself in the nerdy world as William Lennox in the Transformers films and Sheldon Sampson in Jupiter's Legacy. He's also no stranger to video games, having appeared in 2015's Skylanders: SuperChargers, and 2017's Call of Duty: WWII.

One character you'll meet early on is Elias, played by Zeke Alton, who has provided his vocal talents to a plethora of games: Saints Row, Diablo Immortal, Call of Duty: Vanguard, and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart to name but a few. You might also have seen him on TV, in shows like The Morning Show and Triage.

Although this is Karen Fukuhara's first foray into gaming (she plays Dani Nakamura in The Callisto Protocol), she has also appeared in a few superhero franchises: as Katana in Suicide Squad, and Kimiko Miyashiro in The Boys. You might also recognise her voice as Glimmer in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and as Kipo in the young adult's show Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. She also appeared in the film Bullet Train recently.

Last but definitely not least, Sam Witwer (who plays Captain Leon Ferris) is no stranger to geek culture either. With roles in Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, Being Human, Riverdale and Supergirl, he is a very familiar face among sci-fi fans. He also played Mr Hyde in Once Upon a Time.

In terms of non-live action roles, you might know Witwer's voice from his extensive roles in the animated Star Wars franchise. Gamers might know him as Sith apprentice Starkiller in The Force Unleashed duology, or as protagonist Deacon St John in Days Gone. It's always nice to see him pop up, and this is an interesting role for him!
