Nolan North discusses being the voice of Nathan Drake

Nolan North may be a posterboy for video game voice acting but, as you'll hear in his interview with the PS Blog's Jeff Rubenstein after the break, working on the Uncharted games is his favorite job so far. He describes what makes voicing these games so different from others -- but that's not all he discusses. There's almost eleven minutes of pure Nolan North interview to watch here, including a visit from a few of his Uncharted 2 voicing buddies.
As for the burning question of who would be best to play Nathan in an Uncharted movie, we're surprised no-one mentioned the obvious answer. Nathan Fillion, duh.

Nolan's the man. Drake's the best new character this gen, and he's the reason why. Fantastic actor.

I really wish he would have given Ubisoft a nice kick in the groin for being forced to voice such a prick.
I second tmac's notion that Drake is this generation's best original character though. Without North's voice and demeanor, Drake would have been unbearably cliche and generic. Can't wait to play Uncharted 2. Footage so far makes it look as if it will finally topple Half-Life 2's reign over character expression.

Nathan Fillion sounds exactly like Nolan North, it'd be perfect beyond all belief.

you know, I watched a rerun of Serenity a couple of weeks back, and I thought exactly the same thing. I even had to double check to see whether Nathan was/wasn't the voice of N.D.

This is why Uncharted is my favorite series on PS3 after Metal Gear Solid. Please turn this into a movie Sony!

Nate is the best character created in a video game, in a loong time.

Not only great (voice) actors, but good looking people as well! For once the sexy voices match the physical appearances. Hellooo Elena!! My Video game crush on you doesn't make me feel so creepy now... lol
