And after a minute or two of living inside the voice it really isn't' me. But I've found that If I can locate the voice, the rest of the character starts to appear and it doesn't sound like me. Every actor goes about it a different way. I think Dustin Hoffman will start with a walk or a twitch or a mannerism of some kind. How was the process of preparing for the Grim Reaper similar to preparing for Victor?Īs an actor I often start with the voice. They are both these sort of iconic figures who perhaps are not the brightest bulbs but they are funny and helpful allies in your journey. There are parallels between what I did with the Grim Reaper in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" for example and Vegas Vic. We talked about the fact that he embodies the personality of Vegas Vic – that classic old sign from Las Vegas – and that he's sort of the quintessential '50s cowboy.
In the case of Vic in "Fallout: New Vegas," Jason (Bergman, senior producer at Bethesda) helped me a lot because I didn't really know anything about him before I went in. You gather as much information about the character and their background as you can. I don't think there is a great deal of difference. How is preparing for a role in a video game similar or different from preparing for a role in a movie? I chatted with Sadler about playing the Grim Reaper, voicing video game characters and his role in "Fallout: New Vegas." Here's what he had to say: In fact, one of his most recent acting gigs landed him in the role of the robot Victor in "Fallout: New Vegas" – a game that launches for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC today. And yet, he's found himself voicing several video games of late. Sadler, who's now 60 years old, says he missed out on being a part of the video game generation. He's had roles in "The Green Mile," "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Die Hard 2" and he's appeared on TV shows like "Roswell" and "Murphey Brown." Meanwhile, everyone who grew up in the early 1990s will remember Sadler as The Grim Reaper in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey."
