At the Turtle Beach E3 2013 booth, we caught up with veteran video game voice actor Steve Blum in this exclusive interview.
Nelia-Sol White writes: "Voice actors are essential to video games and sometimes you end up hearing some a lot. So, here are 10 voice actors you hear in practically every game."
Nolan is my favorite VA of all-time.
Brian Bloom deserves to be here over Robert Atkins Downs.

Downs has a larger gaming history than i knew. He's been in everything, but usually small roles, Bloom is still a more significant VA.
Downs main roles
Travis Touchdown - No More Heroes
Joe Cappelli - Resistance 3
Sean Devlin - The Saboteur
Deathshead - Wolfenstein New Order
Kaz Miller - MGS
Both are industry vets. Respect.
Steve Blum is a voice you may well recognise, even if you don’t know his name. He’s been doing voices in cartoons and anime since the early 80s, and has been voicing video games since the mid-90s.
Hardcore Gamer: Technology has catapulted beyond prerecorded lines and a handful of polygons; with games offering a deeper level of interactivity than films, and housing some Oscar-worthy performances (before the Oscars were a joke and people like Jennifer Lawrence were given statues), there's nothing left to do but choose our favorite ones.
This guy is the voice behind a lot of iconic characters, great to see him.
Wolverine!!!!!
