EuroGamer: "Actor discusses Deadpool, acting philosophy, and resistance to typecasting."
Andrew Duncan of GameGrin chats with Nolan North about DIRT 5, Deadpool and more.
Nolan North and Troy Baker share their experiences working with Codemasters on Dirt 5 and its story-based career mode.
I don't really play racing games, but do people really cary about story modes in racing games? I thought need for speed in the past did a good job of it, somewhat cheesy, minimalistic story but it did the job imo. Just so there was some context in the game.
like you said, the cheesy Need for Speed stuff kind of made racing a bit more worth doing over and over again because of the story, but I don't think anyone actively goes out of their way to buy a racing game for the story.
Voice Over juggernauts Troy Baker and Nolan North are lending their talents to the latest installment in the Dirt franchise, as Dirt 5 was revealed during Microsoft’s First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay presentation earlier today.
Nolan's going to voice the engine and Troy will voice the tranny. 😏
Got to seem them a couple years ago when they were part of a live reading of Princess Bride in various voices.

Not going to lie...looked like a poor man's Forza Horizon. I hope it turns out good though. The dev speaking on the game talked about no loading times...sounds great.
I think it looks as good as any other modern racer, and it's quite detailed.
Why the "poor man's Forza" dig? Surely that wasn't necessary, even if the games look similar in some respects.
The festival aspect instantly reminded me of Forza Horizon...but the environments wasn't quite up to par to me. If you look at that NY track on the river...the buildings in the background looked very current gen. But like I said, I hope it turns out good. Will be interesting to see where the voice acting stuff goes...could be pretty cool.
I should say I love racers and play just about all of them.
I mean that's cool and all but the Dirt series isn't really known for its voice acting and dialogue.
Jesus, is that a recent picture of him in the article. He's lost a bit of weight hasn't he....get him on a bulk up routine, die his hair, apply a little make up to make him look younger and he's ready for an Uncharted movie
*** That's what happened in Prince of Persia years ago. I remember saying, 'this guy really should have an accent.' And they all said, 'no, no, no. We want it in your voice.' That's what they wanted. And that was one of those games where they [people on the internet] said, 'he's in everything! I'm sick of his voice!' The last thing I want to do is ruin someone's gaming experience. ***
I knew it wasn't his choice to do that, that's Ubisofts fault. I think in the next game they should let him give the character an accent. I know it might seem weird him having one in the sequel when he didn't in the first game but he needs to sound different so the Prince can be his own character
Where's James Lipton?!?
What a guy. More charming than a charmander, more psychic than Psyduck and he'd rather say "look at you!" Than "pikachu!"
I don't know what the hell I'm talking about...
