Activision Announce True Crime Talent News

Activision today announced a cast of seasoned Hollywood actors to lend their vocal support to the characters of True Crime: New York City.

Those appearing within the game include Christopher Walken as FBI field agent Gabriel Whitting; Laurence Fishburne as drug kingpin Isaiah â??The Kingâ? Reed; Mariska Hargitay as New York Police Lieutenant Deena Dixon; Mickey Rourke as New York Police Detective Terrence Higgins; Esai Morales as New York Police Organised Crime Unit chief Victor Navarro; Traci Lords as Madam Cassandra Hartz and introducing up-and-coming actor Avery Waddell in the lead role of Marcus Reed.

â??With a voice talent roster of this caliber, we are bringing drama to videogames on an unprecedented level that is on par with movies and television shows,â? said Will Kassoy, Vice President of Global Brand Management, Activision Publishing. â??True Crime: New York City was developed with the help of two former New York cops who advised us on real-life police scenarios which were then brought to life through the rich characters portrayed by the voiceover talent.â?

Itâ??s not just the voice acting to which Activision has enlisted outside talent, securing the consultancy of the executive producer of NYPB Blue and former policeman Bill Clark along with Tom Walker, author of Ford Apache: The Bronx.
