I have lots to add to this idea that gaming companies are working with intelligence agencies and that they are dangerous beyond belief. It kills me that so many people are aware now about films and tv but completely ignore what the gaming industry is up to. I was the second lead voice in Deus Ex Human Revolution and yes, lots to add to what I found out. (my character was named David Sarif)

The voice actor who did David Sarif died and that is why in the sequel (which sucked IMO) the role was re-cast.

Okay wait I'm looking it up and now I'm seeing that they re-cast the person but the original actor didn't die. I could have sworn that was the reason given...

So if you're Stephen Shellen my apologies, for some reason in the run-up to the sequel I'm pretty sure people were saying you were dead or sick. Interesting now that I'm searching it says you had a falling out with the studio and basically became totally focused on conspiracy stuff.

If it really is you, DXHR is one of the few decent games of that decade and your voice acting was really great. I didn't even play the sequel, for a few reasons, one of which was because I was a bit disappointed at both the storyline and that they recasted you.

The first Deus Ex was a really fun game and I hope you played it at some point to get an idea of where the franchise started.

Thanks. The truth is weirder than you can imagine. If you want check out my new film that I wrote and directed.
