Default Who is actually voicing 47?

No this isn't a "bring Bateson back" thread, although that would be epic lol
But seriously, has anyone heard anything about this?
the main character of the game, is the only one not had his VA announced and confirmed? strange....I am genuinely interested to know who it is though

They haven't announce it yet, but the new voice sounds nothing like David Bateson.

Here's the comparison.

Oh its definitely nothing like Bateson but I'm curious as to why they've not announced who he is so were could see and compare some of his other work, what's your opinion of the new voice?

Some people think the new voice actor is a Canadian actor, Hugh Dillion. He does sound similar to Agnet 47's new voice in the trailer. But it's not confirmed.





Here is an interview with him talking.

AFAIK he's a left 4 dead 2 Nick's Voice actor, so nope.

He looks nothing like 47, and sounds like generic bond-wannabe-voice-actor.

There's only one real Agent 47.

I can't see it being William Mapother. He doesn't sound like the guy in the comparison video. If you've seen Lost, you'll know him

God, Bateson's voice is still giving me chills. Absolutely astonishing. The new VA sucks badly.

No, Kevin Conroy has a pretty distinctive voice to fans of B:TAS,AA or AC. It isn't him either.

I dont see why this is such a big secret

Maybe becouse they are scared that we colected money and have him killed by some hitman Then make raid into IO, and put Bateson on the throne and delay the release becouse we change main voice And of course, Diana

Yeah I'm going with William Mapother. I have watched some interviews with him and some words that he says sounds like what 47 sounds like in the cutscene with Birdie.

And by reading his description on his website about a Secret game, well its obvious if it is him IO would have told him to keep his involvement a secret and not give anything away.

I agree, my gut's telling me it is Mapother.

After reading this thread I understand why I LOST my interest to this 5_Hitman. Because it smells like a compost of the lost actors. All began with an actor who had strange brother; the "clever one" can't hide her mercantile interest; another thinks only about her boobs and butt; the arrogant one thinks that he is too "high" for a bizarre suit; next was a real foul mouth; now this monster!

Keith Carradine is a great actor. I don't know why you'd even mention his brother, his brother has absolutely no basis in anything to do with Keith or the game.
