it's almost unsettling to see Ilkka smiling, looking happy and relaxed. I'm so used to seeing that face looking scared/concerned/perplexed in the game 😂
The fact Ilkka said job offers doesn't pop out to him most of the time is just unacceptable. The mainstream tends to sleep on amazing actors, i really hope that the attention AW2 is receiveing may bring him more love.
As a Finnish-American it's been so heartwarming to see both Finnish actors and Finnish culture getting more attention in the US. Between Ilkka's acting and Sam's writing Alan Wake 2 couldn't have turned out any better. Hyvä Suomi!
I hope he gets to play the role of Alan Wake for the live action AMC show. They could continue the voiceover with Matthew Porretta. AMC needs to keep the same cast as much as possible. RIP James McCaffrey.
Honestly if it ain't either Ilkka or Matt or both as the role of Alan in the AMC series I probably very likely won't watch. At this point nobody is Alan Wake but Ilkka and Matt, I will not take anyone else to play the role but them. Lol. Sorry, but just how I feel. They solidified themselves as Alan, playing the role again and again all these years that someone else playing the role would just be very odd and not right.
I've always said that actors who enjoy their roles thoroughly are my favorites and I can say without a doubt that Ilkka and Matthew as a tag team both gushing about how much they love their roles is just such a treat. Alan Wake 2 was my horror game of the year for 2023, I hope that the DLC and a potential third game can hit those same notes (and I have full faith they will)
Currently playing Alan Wake. Only downside. I wish there was more Tom Zane and Alan because I absolutely love every scene. He absolutely crushed the role and I only have good things to say about his acting. You deserve all the praise and recognition Ilkka. Thank you for being the face of Alan Wake and I hope to see you more
What I love about actors like him is that they treasure their each role, some like Trevor's actor in GTA comes to hate their character eventually but in Ilkka's case he seems to be really glad they he became part of such a projet.
Ilkka villi is an amazing actor and a sweet person. I'd love to see him playing Alan in the Alan Wake show too, he would do great. I'd love to see him acting in other games too. The performance he gave us in the game is absolutely incredible and shows how much talented he is, on top of the love he puts in his job!
Tem que ser ele, mas gente, estão pensando em colocar outros atores? Não, o rosto do Alan é Ilkka Villi, a voz é Matthew Porretta. Se forem outras pessoas vai descaracterizar.
Thank you for interviewing Ilkka Villi he’s such a talented man. Im trying to find his movies and tv series in eng subs to watch it. I wanna see more of him. Wish Ilkka all the best and success.
Ilkka, i dont know if you'll ever read this, im from spain, and your work and performance has left a mark on me. Just want to thank you for your work, and thanks to sam lake and everybody behind this game. This is beyond entertainment, the game is something unique and ill never forget playing it for the first time. What a great experience.
Watched whole video with a big stretch smile 😊 on my face as someone who haven't played or heard about Alan wake or the actor Ilkka Villi, it was so much fun to know him and now I m into the rabbit hole of to know everything about this game lore 😅, thank you abhi for making this wonderful interview.
Thank you so much for watching and yea knowing the process of Zane was so interesting and knowing that he took some decisions while playing Alan Wake was amazing
Alan Wake 2 was such an epic and amazing experience, Ilkka Villi is my new favourite actor. When i found out the game was getting a sequel and a remaster i was so happy!! He’s so handsome and charming, i have a huge crush on him now 😅 I want to see him in more projects!!!❤
his voice is more similar to the guy that voices alan wake than I remember? he sounds almost like he could do the alan wake voice himself??? His American accent is nearly perfect
Excellent interview! Loved it!👏😊 Ilkka is very talented, and such a great guy. Incredible as Alan all these years. Would love an interview with Matthew Porretta perhaps? :)
Amazing interview. It is so awesome to see that Ilkka loves what he is doing, loves the project and all the fans. Game was amazing thanks to the team and thanks to his great performance.
i love that ilkka is doing more interviewa and being more of a figure, at a certain poit it was hard to find him talking about aw , and still to this day its so weird to hear his voice without him putting on a character
This was an amazing interview! The questions seem really well thought and interesting. A few things I wondered myself lol I can't explain it but I find it so amazing that actors/voice actors/etc. interview like this for youtube. I mean, idk, they don't have to and it's always engaging and respectful. To me it comes off and being really grounded and humble to interview outside the high tier media scene. So nice to hear Ikka's answers, congrats on the success, he deserves so much more!
I always wondered why the live action vs CG scenes with Alan felt different, delivery-wise. It makes a lot of sense. I'd heard them say that they went back and forth, but I assumed they had done that for live action too. It makes a lot more sense for them to just do Matthew's dubs on top of a straight take with Ilkka's acting. It would be unbelievably demanding to try to do that back and forth with live action - at least double the shooting time, not to mention the time in between for Matthew to read the lines, etc. What I'm referring to is how in some live action scenes (particularly the Talk Show scenes) there is a distinct quality / affectation to Alan's voice, which isn't there in the CG. For the CG scenes, Alan sounds a lot more like he did in the first game, but with the live action it's apparent that Matthew is focusing on matching the vocal delivery to the live action performance - focusing more on making sure it fits. It's fascinating how they managed to pull this game off, especially with both Ilkka and Matthew playing Alan. Absolutely wild. And it was unreal to see them both performing at the Game Awards!
I think its noticeable because its live action and that in itself is different, if that makes sense. But yes, it was such an unreal moment to see them at The Game Awards
Its so great to see Alan Wake 2 because when I played Alan Wake 1 I was in my first year at university and it was a very different time. in Moldova, in the world, what kind of computers there were, everything was different) I always wanted Alan Wake 2, but the years go and go, and the whole world changes, and my life, and when I bought and played part 2 and saw it.. .it was like meeting an old friend) when I played AWE and saw Alan's shadow I got goosebumps, but playing the second part is so cool) I want to say thank you to Sam Lake, Ilkka, Matt and the whole Remedy team ! sorry for my english if anything)
Your english was perfectly fine! Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I'm so happy that you got to play Alan Wake 2. In many ways, I have the same feeling as yours.
Hearing Ilkka speak in the intro, he doesnt sound too different from Matthew Poretta's voice. I wonder what Ilkka would sound like trying to imitate Alan Wake's voice
Also i think its really interesting how a lot of the first game was clearly influenced by Twin Peaks but ironically the sequel has the hindsight of being able to be inspired by the return of Twin Peaks. I haven’t played the second game yet but from what I’ve heard Mr scratch is just out in the world while Alan is Trapped, much like Mr. C and Dale Cooper.
@@zatramander i am incredibly pumped to play it, but i might wait till its abit cheaper haha in saying that though I did finish American nightmare yesterday and I’ve still got to play the AWE dlc for Control
Incredible interview, love it, knowing more about the process of making it just makes you appreciate the effort and love that has been put into the game!! Incredible, what a masterpiece!
Alan Wake 2 is a perfect example of what games SHOULD be. Not necessarily the Remedy-type of game, but just how much love was clearly put into the game. Love for the art, no bullshit.
@@BehindTheVoicePod oh and you need to invite Matthew Porretta on the show too! Amazing role as Dr. Darling in Remedy's Control besides obviously being Wake's voice.
I just finished Alan Wake 1 yesterday and I think I would’ve personally preferred a bit more live action segments. Ilkka looks so different in the few in it, saying that i just think he looks amazing with the long hair and beard. I’d love to see him in more things and any future Remedy projects.
The Alan Wake series is one of the rare few that had realses that are perfectly timed as they are. So much tech went into the second game and I'm here for it all. We Sing!
Thank you for this great interview! I'm very happy for Ilkka and everyone involved in this amazing piece of art and hope they have all the success in the future!
This was a fantastic interview! Thank you very much for sharing it with us.. and I have to agree 100% with you.. Alan Wake 2 was the perfect package with excellent writing, sound design, acting and gameplay that firmly made it my choice for Game Of The Year as well.. Happy gaming and continue to do what you do.. You rock! :)
Thank you so very much for watching! It realy means a lot to me. Def one of the best horror games I've played which isn't really horror at the same time
Thank you so very much for saying that. I'm just a fan of games and I love watching these stories come to life and also sharing stories of these wonderful actors who bring these characters to life
Alan Wake II bonded gameplay to live action cutscenes more fluently than Quantum Break did. I loved Quantum Break so much and just knew I had to play the other Remedy Games. Definitely glad I did and I was so happy to be a fan and look forward to AW2’s release. I definitely didn’t expect that much live action and I was very happy with it.
10:22 And I feel like the stakes are higher because it has been a really long time since alan wake 1. The thought of him being in the dark place writing the past 13 years made the game feel intense. If you know what i mean
I really really love you so much Ilkka! I am felling like you are my part of my family, as like Sam Lake! It was an amazing game and probably I will not forget that peformance in Game Awards! Real Oscar from my heart guys! We love you ❤
I liked seeing this very much. Overall a very good interview. However one i guess sort of negative is the fact that there was no mention about James McCafrey passing away shortly after VGA. Would have been lovely to hear just a little bit about him but i understand this was interview of Ilkka
I totally understand that. I wanted to respect the time he gave me and tbh I wanted to ask so many questions that unfortunately that went over my head.
Ilkka was awesome in the movie Imaginaerum (Nightwish movie). That’s on YT and in English if anyone is interested. Nighwish my favourite band and Alan Wake my favourite game. Both from 🇫🇮. The score for Imaginaerum was by Nightwish and Petri Alanko (Alan Wake composer).
I don't know if kidnapping is the right thing to do. But I agree that these guys need to make their movies. I know Deltorro does make his own movies and isn't afraid of trying something new and same goes for Kojima and Sam Lake.
Esse homem é uma simpatia, muito carismático. Na questão de quem dança melhor, na brincadeira, olha pro lado todo brincalhão e como uma criança fala: "Eu!". Como não amar, admirar? #IlkkaVilliDCuniverse
somehow i feel ilkka villi might cast on max payne remake. maybe play as vladmir lem russian mob. his performance as mr scratch and thomas zane in alan wake 2 seems fit for him playing as villain character
it's almost unsettling to see Ilkka smiling, looking happy and relaxed. I'm so used to seeing that face looking scared/concerned/perplexed in the game 😂
hahah and he did talk about that didn't he that its funny that he is dancing but he has to make a serious face
You can see him smile in American Nightmare as Scratch 😉
@@BehindTheVoicePodhe does that because it’s the story right? Not him actually wanting to do the movements
Ilkka is so handsome wtf
It’s so nice to see him smiling and happy instead of terribly confused lmao
hahaha yaa it is very nice. He is indeed handsome
The fact Ilkka said job offers doesn't pop out to him most of the time is just unacceptable. The mainstream tends to sleep on amazing actors, i really hope that the attention AW2 is receiveing may bring him more love.
Alguém avisa pro James Gunn colocá-lo no novo universo DC! Não tô pedindo nada de mais, hehe. #IlkkaVilliDCuniverse
@@luizaAmilena Such a nice idea!
keep commenting about this on James Gunn's posts, he sees and responds from time to time
@@enenrax Ilkka Villi as Mad Hatter. Great fancast!
@@MD27024Too early for the Mad Hatter, not to mention he's too tall to do it
As a Finnish-American it's been so heartwarming to see both Finnish actors and Finnish culture getting more attention in the US. Between Ilkka's acting and Sam's writing Alan Wake 2 couldn't have turned out any better. Hyvä Suomi!
Yes I totally agree! This story has blown my mind in so many ways
It's been awesome to hear more about Finnish mythology & obviously learn some Finnish swear words. 😂🤣
It's illegal to be SO cute and handsome. I love Ilkka so much ಥ_ಥ
He is very attractive
I was sad at first I couldn't see Matthew's face bc of Dr. Drarling craze at first but wasn't disappointed at all 😅
I think we found an irl Rose here
I hope he gets to play the role of Alan Wake for the live action AMC show. They could continue the voiceover with Matthew Porretta. AMC needs to keep the same cast as much as possible. RIP James McCaffrey.
Yaa I do hope that happens with AMC. However I have a feeling, it won't
Wait are they doing an AMC show?
Honestly if it ain't either Ilkka or Matt or both as the role of Alan in the AMC series I probably very likely won't watch. At this point nobody is Alan Wake but Ilkka and Matt, I will not take anyone else to play the role but them. Lol. Sorry, but just how I feel.

Ilkka just nonchalantly sipping out of an Oh Dear Diner mug 🤣🤣
LOL
I almost spit out my drink when I saw it hahhaah
I didn't recognize Ilkka at all when he played Thomas Zane, it's amazing how much of a difference taking the beard away makes.
Oh yes! Once you take the beard away from a guy, they look completely different
I've always said that actors who enjoy their roles thoroughly are my favorites and I can say without a doubt that Ilkka and Matthew as a tag team both gushing about how much they love their roles is just such a treat. Alan Wake 2 was my horror game of the year for 2023, I hope that the DLC and a potential third game can hit those same notes (and I have full faith they will)
Yaa both Matthew and Ilkka love their roles and it shows in the game! I'm pumped for the DLC and I also hope we get a 3rd game
Currently playing Alan Wake. Only downside. I wish there was more Tom Zane and Alan because I absolutely love every scene. He absolutely crushed the role and I only have good things to say about his acting. You deserve all the praise and recognition Ilkka.

Yaa well I wouldn't say some actors hate their characters but it could be how the character is and his behaviour
I hope Ilkka will read ALL comments and gets to know that he has A LOT of fans.
Oh I would love to see that too
I dunno, that realization might be a little scary 😅

Ya he is absolutely amazing!
Imaginaerum is on YT.
This is funny! th-cam.com/video/sf_rNclIyo4/w-d-xo.html
Have you checked out "Nymphs" ? It's a Finnish tv series from about 10 years ago. Ilkka has a role in it.
If only you can find anywhere I recommend tv shows Invisible Heroes and Bordertown.
Ilkka, i dont know if you'll ever read this, im from spain, and your work and performance has left a mark on me. Just want to thank you for your work, and thanks to sam lake and everybody behind this game. This is beyond entertainment, the game is something unique and ill never forget playing it for the first time. What a great experience.
I like how Ilkka Villi just casually sips from Oh Deer mug. Great interview, wish there was more people who watched it
Yeaa and it was hilarious. Well share this video around and let more people see this conversation
Will do
I like the fact that Ilkka Villi build Alan and Tom with Sam
Yaa and that's the process that is invovled in making a character in games, movies and shows
Such a humble and lovely man! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves ❤️
Yes he absolutely deserves it!
Ilkka Villi drinking from an Oh Dear Diner mug like we wouldn’t notice.
Man Ilkka is so talented and humble, he was a perfect cast for Alan wake. I can not imagine the character without him.
Same here! I cannot imagine Alan Wake without Ilkka because he IS ALAN WAKE!
Watched whole video with a big stretch smile 😊 on my face as someone who haven't played or heard about Alan wake or the actor Ilkka Villi, it was so much fun to know him and now I m into the rabbit hole of to know everything about this game lore 😅, thank you abhi for making this wonderful interview.
This is so lovely to hear. Thank you so much for watching. I do hope you get the chance to play the game
Ilkka verbally confirms for us that Alan Wake’s emotion is “what-the-fuckness” 25:20
He looks so happy :)
I love the game, the best experience ive ever had
It was the best experience I ever had as well
Ilkka is a really well-spoken, impressive man. I always enjoy his interviews.
He is amazing!
Such a great interview! Great questions! And I love that we got to hear the thought process behind Tom Zane.
Thank you so much for watching and yea knowing the process of Zane was so interesting and knowing that he took some decisions while playing Alan Wake was amazing
Alan Wake 2 was such an epic and amazing experience, Ilkka Villi is my new favourite actor. When i found out the game was getting a sequel and a remaster i was so happy!! He’s so handsome and charming, i have a huge crush on him now 😅 I want to see him in more projects!!!❤
Yaa the game is so incredible and he is very kind and sweet
Great interview. 🙌
Thank you so very much for watching!! This means a lot! I'm a big fan of yours
His English is really good! love this dude - Alan Wake is the best game of all time
Yaa he is absolutely amazing
his voice is more similar to the guy that voices alan wake than I remember? he sounds almost like he could do the alan wake voice himself??? His American accent is nearly perfect
He can, he has lived with this character for so long and has been a friend with the voice actor for so long that I believe has helped him speak better
I was thinking this too. His normal accent could easily work if he ever had to play Alan alone.
Excellent interview! Loved it!👏😊 Ilkka is very talented, and such a great guy. Incredible as Alan all these years. Would love an interview with Matthew Porretta perhaps? :)
I would love to talk to Matthew Porretta and share his story of being the voice of Alan Wake. Thank you so much for watching
Awesome, I hope he gets cool roles from here on out while also playing Alan Wake for many years to come! One of my favorite gaming characters!
Yaa I hope the same for him. Alan Wake is def one of my fav
Ilkka is amazing. He deserves more love and all the respect he can get. Also him smiling is just so weird 🤣
Yeaa he deserves all the love
Amazing interview. It is so awesome to see that Ilkka loves what he is doing, loves the project and all the fans. Game was amazing thanks to the team and thanks to his great performance.
Thank you so much for watching! It was wonderful talking to him and he has done such a great job!
Hopefully is someday they turn alan wake into a show or movie they incluide Ilkka
Well there is going to be a show to be published by AMC. Not sure what's happening yet
i love that ilkka is doing more interviewa and being more of a figure, at a certain poit it was hard to find him talking about aw , and still to this day its so weird to hear his voice without him putting on a character
Ya I'm glad that I was able to share this conversation. I'm glad that Ilkka wanted to be a part of it.
Absolutely love hearing Ilkka Villi talk about his experiences and give us a little peek behind the curtain. Great interview.

Thank you so very much for watching and for those kind words. I love sharing their stories and that's what this podcast is all about
Great interviews, matching hair helped too
Haha not as good as him
he has such depth in his acting, really hope he gets more attention after his amazing performance as Alan Wake, the writer
Yaa same here! I do hope he gets more roles outside of Remedy in games
he did a fantastic job. he literally makes me more invested in the game.
Yaa he did an awesome job!

Yaa he sounds amazing doesn't he?
the fact that he got on all fours and made that decision right there and then paid off so well. really sold how unhinged Tom Zane was
Right? Its so crazy that he made that decision while playing Alan Wake.
Also i think its really interesting how a lot of the first game was clearly influenced by Twin Peaks but ironically the sequel has the hindsight of being able to be inspired by the return of Twin Peaks. I haven’t played the second game yet but from what I’ve heard Mr scratch is just out in the world while Alan is Trapped, much like Mr. C and Dale Cooper.
You're right, and it doesn't end there. There are many similarities with Twin Peaks season 3 beyond just plot elements. You'll see. :)

He is also in the nordic noir series Bordertown (Netflix).
Now we need a talk with Mr Scratch
I tried but he never came out
He’s so handsome 🫠
That he is
I love to see him smile 😊😊 I love Alan Wake ❤
I love Alan Wake as well
Someone needs to kidnap Sam Lake, Kojima, Lynch and DelTorro and force them to make movie or game XD
I don't know if kidnapping is the right thing to do. But I agree that these guys need to make their movies. I know Deltorro does make his own movies and isn't afraid of trying something new and same goes for Kojima and Sam Lake.
Illka Villi and Alan Wake ❤ ❤❤
I’m glad he got to at least use his real voice for Thomas Zane
Yaa and I think that's great!
Great interview!
Thank you so very much!
This guy gets the privilege of saying he's Alan Wake irl
Lol
Esse homem é uma simpatia, muito carismático. Na questão de quem dança melhor, na brincadeira, olha pro lado todo brincalhão e como uma criança fala: "Eu!". Como não amar, admirar? #IlkkaVilliDCuniverse
Awesome interview.
Thank you so much!
Show Me The Champion Of Light 💡 🙌🔦
somehow i feel ilkka villi might cast on max payne remake. maybe play as vladmir lem russian mob. his performance as mr scratch and thomas zane in alan wake 2 seems fit for him playing as villain character
Yaa he can definitely play these villain characters however I'm not sure what's happening with the remake
Max Paynes VA is dead. The Remakes might not even be made now.
@@eatanotherzio6811no. The contract was signed and the game was before James death. They will not abondon the project.
19 years huh... almost as long as Kyle Maclachlan playing Dale Cooper. 👍☕️
Isn't that so interesting!
Yeah. Cool. Thank you. All was nice.
Thanks for watching
I thought he was walking in reality with bulging eyes😂
Ilka Villi is an alternate universe variant of Alan Wake. Prove me wrong.
I agree
Thank u and thank you alan
And thank you for watching
