Ratchet and Clank recently made its long-awaited return with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart for the PS5. 2016's Ratchet and Clank remake was the last mainline entry, but the most recent game chronologically was 2013's Into The Nexus. It is easier to understand why the game is such a big deal after considering the eight-year gap.
Fortunately, the majority of the voice cast has returned 💮along with numerous other fresh characters. To help celebrate the actors who brought these personalities to life, the following list points out other roles for which these performers are known. Some are video game roles, while others include live-action appearances.
9 🍒 David Kaye (Ratchet) Is The Announcer On Last Week Tonight 🦋
David Kaye has been voicing Clank since the series' 2002 inception. This is especially impressive in a medium known for frequent recasting.

David Kaye has been the announcer for the HBO news show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver for over one hundred episodes. He also has some168澳洲幸运5开奖网: live-action roles in his resume, including two appearan🌠ces on the X-Files.
8 🧸 Deborah Wilson (Kit) Was A Cast Member On Mad TV
Ratchet finds Kit shortly into the adventure after being separated from his best friend Clank. Kit is adorable and completely lacking in self-esteem and confidence. Kit is like this for a reason, however, and players find this out after an hour so with her. Deborah Wilson's performance excellently reflects the robot's timidness, shame, and guilt. Long before portraying Kit, Deborah could be seen every Saturday for years in the 1990s as a main cast member of Mad TV, a sketch comedy show akin to Saturday Night Live. She also played a major supporting role in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.

Emperor Nefarious is played by a different voice actor than the familiar Dr. Nefarious. Robin Atkin Downes takes the role here.
