Overview

  • David Hayter voiced Solid and Naked Snake for 12 years before Konami recast the role with Kiefer Sutherland in Metal Gear Solid V.
  • In 2016 Hayter refused to play Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, describing them as “60 hours of humiliation.”
  • He has since completed both titles and declares Metal Gear Solid V’s open-ended gameplay his favorite in the franchise.
  • Hayter met Kiefer Sutherland in Dallas, shared drinks and says he holds “no ill will” toward his onetime replacement.
  • He will return as Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake, due on August 28 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
