Fewer people take center stage🎀 with their voice acting more often than the iconic Malcolm McDowell. Rising to fame with his acting role as Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange, McDowell has enjoyed a prolific career spanning over 50 years, featuring in not only movies (including the Halloween reboot), but also television series, and of course, video games.
The trope of the ‘evil Englishman’ lends itself perfectly to Malcolm McDowell’s voice talents, which he embodies in iconic villainous roles. For someone whose resumé spans South Park and Robot Chicken to CSI Miami and Star Trek Generations, it can be hard 🌸to choose from such a wide range of memorable performances, but we’ve tried our best to narrow down our favorite Malcolm McDowell voice acting performances in v⛄ideo gaming.
8 🌟 Molag Bal - The Elder Scrolls Online
Fans of the MMORPG 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls Online will recognize Malcolm McDowell’s voice as the main antagonist of the game, Molag Bal. A Daedric Prince of the Oblivion plane of Coldharbour, he is set on overthrowing the mortal realm of Mundus and enslaving humanity.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, the player character has been sacrificed to Molag Bal, who has stolen their soul. The retrieval of their soul forms the overall premise of the game’s main objective, meaning plenty of near🤡-deadly encounters with the Daedric Prince himself.
7 Admiral Geof꧋frey Tol♏wyn - Wing Commander Series
Malcolm McDowell makes an appearance in Wing Commander 3 and Wing Commander 4 as Admiral Tolwyn. He appears alongside other acting heavyweights including 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mark Hamill (of Star Wars fame), and John Rhys-Davies (recognisable from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones series).
Wing Commander 3 is the first game in the Wing Commander series to transition from the previously 2D pre-rendered cutscenes to live-action cutscenes. Geoffrey Tolwyn rose through the ranks to Admiral after the Kilrathi War, and soon came to a sticky end just days before his executi🧜on towa❀rds the end of Wing Commander 4.
6 Dr. Tolian Soran - Star Trek﷽ Generations
There’s something about space warfare that Malcolm McDowell must find irresistible in his roles, because he finds himself in a major sci-fi role once more - this time reprising his role as the mad scientist Dr. Tolian Soran from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Trek Generations film in 1994.
The FPS adventure game adapted original footage from the movie for c✅utscenes, and while appearing alongside the series icon Patrick Stewart, perhaps Malcolm McDowell embodied the role a little too well. Many Star Trek fanatics have previously touted McDowell as "the man who killed Captain Kirk", with some overzealous Star Trek fans even issuing death threats for his fictional crimes.
5 President John Henry🌠 Eden - Fallout 3
Who better to play the robot Enclave President of the United States than Malcolm McDowell? Originally created as an automated monitoring system at the Raven Rock military base, Eden was programmed to ensure the continuation of government in case of a major catastrophe. This all changed when Eden slowly became self-aware, and began𒁏 to learn from the archiv﷽es stored within its hard drives.
When players finally encounter Eden at the Raven Rock base in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 3, they are tasked with poisonin🐓g the water supply. Players can then either accept the quest, resulting in disastrous consequences, or talk Eden into self-destructing and finishing the quest.
4 𒁃 Pelys - Champions of Noꦰrrath
Of the three main antagonists in the game, Malcolm McDowell provides the voice for Pelys, leader of the orcs. Other main enemies include Innoruuk, God of Hatred,💎 and🦹 Vanarhost, a vampire in the Underworld (and the game’s narrator).
In Champions of Norrath, Pelys and his orc cronies do everything in their power to make the player’s journey as hellish as possible, sending them to the underworld and beyond on their quest. The events of the game take place prior to the first 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:EverQuest online RPG, in the world of Norrath based in the EverQuest universe (a series with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:some of the oldest 😼M🐲MOs still running today).
3 Daedalus - God of War 3 𒐪
Daedalus is the tortured architect of the Gods and creator of the Labyrinth, a huge aerial puzzle created to imprison Pandora in the Caverns of Olympus. While Daedalus is a fairly minor role within God of War 3, Malcolm McDowell brings the character’s performance to life with his sly, wily voice talents - whic💟h is just as well, as in Greek mythology, Daedalus means "cunning worker".
Departing from the Greek mythology in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God of War series, the story of Daedalus goes💧 that he had built the Labyrinth for Zeus in return for Icarus. However🦄, Zeus betrays Daedalus, and instead imprisons him in chains within his own architectural creation.
2 Metallo ℱ- Superman: Shadoꦰw of Apokolips
In another reprising role, McDowell returns to voice his role of Metallo in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Superman: Shadow of Apokolips (as well as an episode of the animated TV series Justice Leಌague Unlimited). The 2002 game was released for both the Pl🦄ayStation 2 and GameCube, and is based on Superman: The Animated Series.
Metallo is just one of the many enemies - as well as Parasite and Livewire - that Lex Luthor sends to destroy Superman. Cutscenes from the game were created using cel-shaded animation to e🌳mulate the look of trad🍨itional animation.
1 Jorhan B. Stahl - Killzone 3 🍬
As the fourth installment in the Killzone series, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Killzone 3 was the first game to use the motion controls from the PlayStation Move for 🍃PlayStation 3. Malcolm McDowell joins the voice cast of this action-packed FPS as the CEO of arms manufacturer Stahl Arms, Jorhan Stahl.
Stahl resides as one of the main antagonists in Killzone 3, with the perfectly withering voice of McDowell often calling the soldiers of the Helghan military "lazy" and "careless". Although Stahl survives into Killzone: Shadow Fall, McไDowell was replaced by prolific video game voice actor Gideon Emery.
