Riot, you seriously need to help David Hayter

He's currently suffering from serious career problems despite being one of the most iconic video game voice actors known for his role as Solid Snake from Metal Gear series. Basically Hayter has no big roles right now after the mess happened with Konami and Hideo Kojima who pulled a bad trick on Hayter (he's still very upset about it), yet he would really like to voice some cool character in another videogame. We already have Raiden as Jhin(Quinton Flynn), why don't we bring Snake too? I'm a big fan of his Snake, I know that I can't be the only one here. It would actually be a big thing if together we managed to help that great actor even a little. http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/maxresdefault-1.jpg

Blue Moon Wolf suggested Hayter for Yorick's rework. And you know what? It sounds like an absolutely brilliant idea to me.

Only if the champion he voices heavily utilizes a cardboard box.

Hate to be the bearer of narcissism here but, I find this is what is wrong with the world. Just because someone has money, and has done something before doesn't mean he should automatically be put on a pedestal everywhere he goes and given free rides. He should apply to Riot or contact them on his own as an ADULT. There are many other people out there in voice acting who cannot get a job because nobody gives new people a chance despite them working just as hard as old timers. Why? because old timers are given freebies everywhere they go just based off their name.

It actually slows the process of growth in society.

Maybe he doesn't have any big roles right now because they're better people for the job out there who god forbid you haven't heard about.

I'm so down for this I can't even begin to describe how down I am for this. Hayter's work in the MGS series is amongst my personal favourites and he's very recognizable.

Upvote for you.

Hayter has gone nuts after all this went down when it wasn't even the real big boss in the first place, only help Hayter needs is someone to stop him from drawing mo cap lines all over himself in a Starbucks bathroom. Also, Hayter asks for way too much to do his job from what I've heard.

He did the voice for the Winter Soldier in Marvel Heroes recently, I think? So he's still getting work, just not as Snake.

Plus not being Snake in MGSV is probably a blessing, unless you want to be credited for about 3 lines and 3 hours of grunting. (Sarcasm, but man did they silent-protagonist him in that game)

David Hayter FTW

Since Yorick 's update is coming up, Would he be able to do his new VO? add a echoey sound effect (like Karthus and Kalista have) to snake's voice and that could work really well for him.

YES BIG BOSS RENGO

I have always seen David as the voice of Solid Snake and Big boss until the latter was a certain age. replacing him with Kiefer Sutherland was not a dick move, it was the execution of the move that was a douche move.

There was no bad trick, Kojima never liked how Hayter portrayed Snake, he did not capture the feeling at all that Kojima wanted for Snake so whenever there was a chance Kojima tried tosee if hecould be replaced so an actor who could carry the lines better would take over, when MGS5 came along Kojima was able to get Sutherland whom's voice he preferred over Hayter so Hayter was replaced. Remember the way everything was designed around for the most part is the Japanese version, in MGS4 Akio Otsuka who plays snake, did the motion capture and hugged his father Chikao Otsuka for the scene with big boss and snake.

How come no one mentioned his starring role in Guyver 2. That's where I know him from. Didn't know he was so big into voice acting. Thought he was just a low budget movie actor.

Surprise, Taric rework is Snake

Taric Nanomachines are outrageous. Truly, truly outrageous.
