In honor of Mario being recast without too much controversy how about we name some characters where the voice is so tied to the character that nobody can replace them without feeling hollow.

I'm gonna go with a list of tough gruff guys

Max Payne - James McCaffery
Sam Fisher - Michael Ironside
Agent 47 - David Bateson
Solid Snake - David Hayter
Marcus Fenix - John DiMaggio

If you can't bring these voice actors back for these characters don't even talk to me!

Remember when they actually tried to recast 47, but the Hitman fandom just wasn't having it, so David Bateson ended up reprising the role after all?

Sam Fisher is probably the biggest one. The voice -was- the character, more than the face or model or anything.

Blacklist happened and then they stopped making Splinter Cells.

New characters are even better.

I don't know why Ubisoft didn't just go with a new character. They even had to change Sam Fisher's age to keep him around.

Blacklist Fisher just wasn't the same character anyway. I would be fine if Sam Fisher retired in the background and if they could get Ironside back then put him in the Lambert role.

This.

Unless it's Simon Templeman as Kain. You can't replace that. We need to make him a real vampire so he can do the voice forever.

"None of you deserve a say in what happens here! None of you have spilled blood for this land the way I have! How dare you judge me?!"

Simon Templeman is amazing in everything he's in. I hope he gets to do a LoK game again someday.

D.C. Douglas as Wesker

John Chacon as Gabe Logan (Syphon Filter)

After III John Chacon did not return as the VA, and honestly, I did not care of the new ones.
