Garbage trucks would pass by the house where they were recording and they would have to stop and wait.
Because it was so well written, and so well directed.”įurther into the interview he talked about recording the first Metal Gear Solid game. “Very quickly the passion for Metal Gear came to us. That really created that bond.” He talked about the passion people in this business can share. I think that was brilliant on Kris Zimmerman’s part, to bring us in together. The great thing about Metal Gear (the original) is that we got to work together. So there are all kinds of things happening that way. I have daughters, and I wanted to think of him as a surrogate son, you know what I mean? In a way. So there’s a responsibility there, and there’s a power that he has, that father figure. I’ve had friendships, but no one that I would put out there on the line, knowing that his life may be forfeit, but caring about the guy. I’ve never had a relationship with another man like that. “ I think about all the things that are going on inside Campbell, and his relationship with Snake. Is there any other Metal Gear character he’d like to play? “Meryl.” he said, laughing, but added on a more serious note: “Who else is there but Snake?” David is one of those guys that I will do anything for. Listen, he’s a writer / producer! Are you kidding me? I’m still begging him to put me in one of his movies. While the colonel orders Snake around in the games, in the real world it’s the other way around. “And since then, because of Metal Gear, so many of the thing I get offered are down there, in that range.” “Up until that time, most of the things that I got cast on vocally were more cartoony, more over-the-top So it was really cool to get into a character that was actually closer to my real voice.”. And it was really hard because I was one of the youngest ones in the group, but I was the leader of the group.” Metal Gear meant a turning point for his career. How did he prepare for playing a military role? “I was a sergeant in the military. So I really appreciate it on that level as well.” I’ve gone on and watched lots of cutscenes (not just my stuff), because it’s so rich! And the man so fricking bright! Our view of the world is very similar, I agree with a lot of what he’s putting out there. “I love the lore as much as I know of it. I have not finished a game, I’ve attempted.

Paul was asked which of the games in the Metal Gear series he has played. Because Kris knows her stuff.” Paul said his daughter is also doing voice work, and has worked with Kris on a videogame as well.Īccording to Paul, this was one of Kris’ directorial instructions Well, 29 of the 30 roles that were cast were people that Kris brought in. And then Kris said: well listen, let me bring in a some people. Konami had hired someone else to do the casting, and hired Kris to direct. When she was casting for the game, she called Paul Eiding in.ĭuring the course of the interview, Paul emphasized on the important role Kris Zimmerman played in the whole process of providing the English voices to the characters. He then met Kris Zimmerman, who would later of course do the voice direction for Metal Gear Solid. Because of his versatility he was casted for Hanna-Barbera (a successful American cartoon studio), and it went of from there. Later he did a play where he played an African man servant, a cockney soldier and a five year old girl (wearing pig tails and a skirt). He played a variety of roles and was even cast to voice an olive. Paul Eiding started his voice over career doing narration for training videos, as well as on-camera work for commercials. Fragged Nation, Korrupt Ronin and YongYea conducted an hour long interview with the actor, in which he shared some pretty interesting or funny anecdotes. Some of the most iconic quotes in the series are uttered by Eiding, including ‘I need scissors, 61’ and of course ‘Snake? Snake! Snaaaaake!’ (Paul Eiding: “I can’t tell you how many phone rings it is now.”). But Metal Gear fans will probably all associate his recognizable voice with Colonel Roy Campbell. Paul Eiding’s voice can be heard in many videogames – from an elderly robot in Ratchet & Clank Future, to a cowardly mayor in Diablo III, to Theseus in God of War II.
