David Hayter Returns as Solid Snake in Ford YouTube Commercials
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Original Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter is reprising his role in a pair of Ford commercials on YouTube. The "Overdubs" ads include "A Codec Call to Remember" and "A Meeting with Psycho Mantis." The first shows Solid Snake and Col. Roy Campbell (Paul Eiding) discussing the Ford Focus' "Practical Vehicular Action."
The second ad has enemy Psycho Mantis trying to sell Snake on the merits of a 2017 Ford Fusion Titanium.
David Hayter voiced Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. He also voiced Naked Snake in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The actor was replaced by Kiefer Sutherland in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Since his replacement, Hayter stated in a podcast with GameInformer that he hoped Konami would bring him back for the character now that Hideo Kojima had left the company.
He's also reprising his role for the fan project "The Fan Legacy: Metal Gear Solid."
Ford has previously created ads with characters from Dragon Ball Z.
