	Actors - David Hayter

David Bryan Hayter (born February 6, 1969 in Santa Monica, California) is an American voice actor, actor, and screenwriter. He is most notable for providing the English voices of Solid Snake and Naked Snake in the popular Metal Gear Solid video game series, and for co-writing the screenplays of the first two X-Men movies.

Biography

Though born in California, Hayter's parents were Canadian. He did some live acting in the early 1990s, but became interested in voice acting after appearing in an episode of the sitcom Major Dad as a character with a Russian accent. This led to his role as the voice of Captain America in the popular 1994 Spider-Man animated series. He also did some voices in various anime dubs, such as The Castle of Cagliostro
. Contrary to popular belief, Hayter did not voice Wolverine/Logan in X-Men: The Animated Series, as that was the voice work of Cathal J. Dodd
.

In 1998, Hayter voiced Solid Snake in the successful video game Metal Gear Solid. The deep, gruff voice of the game's protagonist is instantly recognizable and extremely popular with fans. He provided Snake's voice in later Metal Gear games such as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and provided the voice for a related character, Naked Snake, in the 2004 prequel Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

A popular myth is that Hayter is the voice of EA Sports (saying "EA Sports: It's in the game!") when in fact it is Andrew Anthony but has voiced characters in other video games, such as Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

For some voiceover projects, Hayter used the alias Sean Baker, the name of the character he played in the 1994 movie Guyver: Dark Hero
.

Hayter penned the screenplay of the comic book movie X-Men
and co-wrote its sequel, X2: X-Men United
. He also co-wrote The Scorpion King
and produced unused drafts for Hulk
and The Chronicles of Riddick
.

Currently Hayter is working on a number of projects. He is penning the screenplays for the upcoming comic book movies The Black Widow (which he's also slated to direct), Iron Man, and the currently on hiatus Watchmen.
