He's also Azog from the Hobbit trilogy.
He was, until they cheap-CG'd all over his body and mask. Now he's just Azog's voice and maybe movement.
If you want to see decline, compare the orcs from the LotR trilogy to the fake ones in the Hobbits.

Well i hope that hipster fag realized how shit his balance is , and learns from it for future games ( who i am kidding , hipsters think they are always right )

He also plays Deathstroke in Arrow.

He's awesome. I cried when the romans killed him in Spartacus.
I only enjoyed the first season of Spartacus with the original actor. The prequel and later season were average.

Prequel was amazing I thought, especially the last episode. But yeah season 3 was weak and 4 was only slightly less shit due to the guy playing Crassus.

Pretty much my assessment too. The prequel was tight, while the first season had to find its stride at first.

The new actor shat the bed, and somehow the writers couldn't write around him and fucked things up in season 3. They made it better by introducing new characters in S4, but it was too far gone to save.

He's not a full time Bethesda employee. You might as well say those who voted for Larian were right.

Planescape:Torment Enhanced Edition incoming?

Helping Beamdog make a PS:T EE, if that is indeed their ambition, would be a noble deed. They might have done it without him and fucked it up.

Turned out to be quite accurate speculation!

My guess that he quit Obsidian to work full time on his Arcanum Let's Play has however not been revealed to be true yet...

Or none of the above :(.

Makes me sad, because I want to see him in a permanent position of power from which he can direct a TRUE TURN BASED RPG with all the C&C and branching we can imagine!

Has MCA ever worked full time on anything? It seems to be both his strength and his weakness that he is all over the place and never fully focused with the task at hand. He's like the Mysterious Stranger in Fallout - sometimes shows up to save the day, but you can't depend on him to always be there when you need him.

He was a video game writer and is now a freelance video game writer. Maybe he likes it that way.
