*Everytime he says "Uhhh", the planet shakes..*
It wasn't the greybeards that shouted in Skyrim. It was him
Like the world serpent
Christopher Judge's "Uhhh" vs the Undertaker's "Y'know"
Christopher’s thu’um is his normal voice
@@christianmcbrearty got me laughing at 3:30am thinking you've just killed the dragon and all you hear is "BOI". 🤣🤣
His performance as Kratos is one of the best voice acting performances I've ever heard.
I would have to completely agree with you! I've played many games but Christopher Judge as Kratos is definitely the best performance in a video game I have ever seen!
Performance capture. Not voice acting. So many people get this wrong, you’re insulting the actor when you say the “voice acting was great”
@@darkdotz2361 I didn't say voice acting. I said performance.
DidiTheReaper i know. I was talking to the other person girl.
Mark Garrett I thought the kid was really good also. I never see anyone give him any credit. Of course he was overshadowed by Kratos, but the boy had to be sad, mad, unstable at times, sassy to his father, obstinate, and even during battle.....it all worked. A lot of times a child actor can RUIN an otherwise good show. OR, they have an adult female voice act a boy. The kid was a big part of this story, and often times Kratos’ lines were emotionless. The whole cast was excellent. The kid stood out to me though.
His voice is so satisfying
indeed
It is one of the wonders of the world.
Sexy all the way around but all the, "Uh" has to go 😁
boi.
Alex The Ghost he the voice character from def jam
DAD OF BOI
Yep! xD
Watch your Tone Boi!
😂😂😂🤣
Father of Rya'c.
Don't be sorry, be better. No place for a Boi🤣
Crazy. He straight up admitted that this reinvigorated his career. Seems like he was giving up but now he's got his handprints on gaming history. I'm low key salty that he said video games are considered stupid amongst his acting peers, but I'm smirking because this'll show them. Those peers of his starred in many more movies than he did, but they weren't the main character of one of the highest rated, most respected, highest grossing pieces of entertainment of all time. Beautiful, really.
Actors, new or past prime, look for acting chances everywhere, all the time. Still, acting in a traditional movie is still the safer path, and objectively less work. In gaming, a few lead actors have to carry the whole game, while not showing their faces, which in turns lead to less recognition. Do you think people like Tom Cruise would drop their lucrative Mission Impossible to star in Uncharted? This guy's big break in God of War is still no proof of anything, and it will certainly not "show them" anything. If anything, if you're lucky enough to have a discernable voice, a big nostalgic name, or name was tied to a past franchise people cared about, then you may have a chance to be spoon fed a big gaming project. Not any deep voice buff dude can land a role in God of War.
Thank god it did, I grew up watching Stargate, he is one of my favorite characters and I'd love to see more of him on screen
That perspective is changing FAST. Now every actor is frantically looking to be in the next "God of War" kind of blockbuster, what with Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077. A well written game is basically an interactive movie.
I think there's a stigma against videogames in general. Nobody really bothers to look into the process of developing games or care about it as an art form. Yeah there are shooter games that have huge fanbases but we have games like God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted...and they're just as a good as a movie or a tv show; maybe even more visceral. It's just that nobody knows that or believes it.
The stigma towards videogames has decreased dramatically in recent years, as the millenials who grew up on them are now the grown adults who can think critically about the merits of game design, storytelling, and artistic value. The era of Roger Ebert's (RIP) antiquated perspective on video games has passed, and more people understand how video games are capable of telling stories that can match and transcend conventional media in uniquely interactive ways. Right from the beginning of this interview, Chris Judge points out that society as a whole has developed greater expectations for video game storytelling, and those expectations will only continue to grow with time.
As to whether mainstream actors will look to video games for their landmark roles, I'm indifferent. Perhaps Tom Cruise won't quit his job as Silver Screen Ambassador to Scientology to star in a video game, but that's fine by me. I'd be more than happy seeing less Kiefer Sutherlands getting overpaid to do less work than his peers. Not all actors are suited for this kind of work, and they don't need to be. We should foster the Nolan Norths and Troy Bakers we already have, folks who've paid their dues in the gaming industry. They're already doing fantastic work. Newcomers like Chris Judge are just a bonus. Either way, as video games become more respected, there will be greater opportunities for actors across the board to make their mark, and yes, games like God of War definitely "shows them."
All that said, I personally hope that Keanu Reeves finds his way into more video games. He's a perfect fit for literally anything.
I almost dislike when people keep saying "Voice acting", No, this man straight up was Kratos. He didn't just stand at a podium reciting lines, he full body embodied Kratos.
All that's lacking is that red tattoo
That's what the profession is called, and will always BE called. Get over it.
@@lainwakura tbf he also did mo-cap, do he acted as much as, say, that metal guy from Deadpool.
He is experiencing a lot by killing false gods
@@lainwakura It's called performance capture, which is comprised of voice acting and motion capture. Get over yourself
He BETTER come back as Kratos for at least 2 more games
That would be awesome.
He will
They could get phil anslemo. Seriously I think he would be great.
He did say in this interview that he would be completely fine with just doing God of War and Stargate related stuff. So yeah he'll probably stay
There are 100% atleast two more games as he has Odin and Thor to smack!!
My whole room vibrates when he speaks
8:35 DUDE HIS LAUGH! Holy shit that’s the most massive, god-like laugh. Best laugh ever
It really is superb.
now we know how Kratos sounds when laughs
fit for Zeus himself
Listen to Larry Wheels laugh.
@@L4veyan yeah man undefeated
His voice got deeper with age. I'm rewatching Stargate SG1 and his voice was much younger and lighter. Still deep. Tealc is such an amazing character. He played that character masterfully.
I think it's like Michael Dorn. He just kept getting progressively deeper from doing deep voices for so long
I loved his last answer to the interviewer; Who would win; Kratos or Teal'c, and I loved how fucking fast he answered! Teal'c would try to do peace, while kratos not :D he is an actor that knows his characters. fucking beautiful.
@@JavaMies The funny thing is Teal'c and Kratos would probably get along fairly well since they're all about wrecking powerful beings who try to cruelly lord of people
@@InfernosReaper both love killing false gods
@@InfernosReaper Kratos and Teal'c: BFFs, bonding over the corpses of Goauld and despot gods. Want that on a Tee lol
He totally flipped with energy after he heard stargate,he was happy to hear he is also remembered of the badass role as teal'c
"Not been seen for Black Panther"
He now voices Black Panther in the Avengers game
Such a huge fan of his. He deserves all the success he can get. People, you need to cast this man. He can act! I've never understand how Momoa kept getting bigger and bigger roles after Stargate but Judge didn't. I wish them both success, but I think Judge is the superior actor. He can do so much with just his voice and his eyes, let alone just regular acting. I would have loved to have seen him in Black Panther or Black Lightning. And he's not a bad script writer!
rly? not so much :) Momoa just had a luck to get in to the GoT and without that he would not be where he got
Andrea Miller he can act. He is a weird dude though. His mass appeal isn’t there. He does have acting chops though. I agree with that. I just don’t see him carrying any major project the way a guy like Mamoa can. They are both from the Stargate franchise though which is interesting. You never know. Chris is also into his 50’s. Hard to build any real momentum at that age. I hope he does get the work he thinks he can get now. Just don’t think it’s realistic.
@@balchutowo10 true
Its probably mostly because of momoas body, hair, and looks no homo, this guy seems like he could play as a villain his smile looks like a villains smile or some kind of ancient warrior.
He would easily get a job as a voice actor after God of War, also, there are gonna be 2 more games coming out with probably him in the lead as well. Unless Kratos dies in one of the sequels and Atreus takes over.
It's crazy to think that out of everyone in the world they managed to get Judge. His voice is so damn perfect for the game. I can't imagine anyone else being Kratos.
He Said He Would Never Do Another Video Game But Now He’s Back Playing Black Panther In Marvel Avengers 👑
What a voice..
It's even more amazing in person!
We got him to read the ingredients of his sandwich you see in front of him before the interview started and it made us want that sandwich. 😂
Brutal.
What a BOI!!
INDEEEED
He's a fucking unit
Chris Judge is just an all around good dude. I am glad he is getting some credit for his good work.
Absolutely🙌😃
Good God that voice commands attention. I'm envious.
Breathing in
BOI
I’ll never forget his time in Stargate: SG1, he was the best!!
They were lucky to be able to get Christopher Judge to voice act Kratos, his voice is my All time favorite, Not just anybody has a voice like this, it's a rare 1 in a billion voice you'll ever hear.
This guy literally breathed new life into one of the most BELOVED characters in gaming. He had a near impossible challenge, but stepped up to the plate and absolutely knocked it out of the park.
maaaan, he really should do more voice work, I could absolutely see him as Shao Khan for example :D
He'd make a good spartan in halo or a sith lord in star wars too.
Oooo spartan!
@@ascendedsleeper5693 he could play Darth Vader
Ma boi Teal’c
Indeed
Indeed
Indeed
In frigging deed
INDEED
His voice is amazing reminds me of James earl Jones, this guy would be a wonderful Mufassa! GOW4 is a masterpiece and I'm glad I had the privilege of playing it.
My body count would multiply by 10x if I had his voice...
@JNCL Bulgogi lmaoo
10×0=0
I would definitely like to see him in a black panther sequel.
We just want him to be in everything!
Got you wish. He is the new T'Chala voice
He is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
there's an idea, if it happens you win the internet
How can my boy Teal'c be bald for so long, then grow such luxurious locks...I was 8 when he was bald, now I'm bald and he got them native roots...good on ya bruv...
Tealc what’s with the hair?
Why is no one talking about how beautiful this man is? Voice, dimples, Melanin and all 😍
Judge absolutely killed it as a the almighty Dad of War. Looking forward to his work on ragnarok
I love Christopher so much since SG-1, and im so happy for Him.
"Lets face it, I can say no to a lot of shit now" haha I love it🤣
I seriously doubted if he could pull it off. He was ok in the E3 demo but I was like "noooo this guy won't cut it". BOY was I wrong. He fking surpassed my expectation
Was great to see him getting to flex in a different medium and doing so well at it!
Never would have known how sensitive and thoughtful a man Mr. Judge is. We're the same age and I now have greater respect than I already had for him as a person and as a professional. I'm glad he feels in control of his career. I know that kind of control is rare for actors.
Really happy to hear the role of Kratos gave new life to his career, always loved seeing him in stuff, and no one he's ever worked with didn't praise what a fun/great guy he was.
Christopher Judge was the perfect choice to portray Kratos and also everyone's fan favorite "Stargate" character Teal'c, who is my Number 1# Favorite Main Character in "Stargate: SG-1".
Claudia Black who plays Vala Mal Doran on Stargate SG1 with Christopher Judge also played Aeryn Sun on Farscape with Ben Browder. Claudia Black does amazing voice actor work.
I straight up forgot about farscape. 😮
Now I gotta rewatch it.
Seeing Teal'c as Kratos started as a heartwarming easter egg for me, having watched SG universe stuff growing up, but hearing the actor talk freely, not being afraid of going into politics (wich so many actors seem to shy away from) and the worrisome state of the world, the role and changes of entertainment, etc, made me realize once more the understated and growing value of those types of games in storytelling.
He's wrong about one thing though, 2018's GoW didn't bridge the gap between gaming and valuable storytelling, it's always been out there, simply not as accessible. Yet GoW has certainly reached the summit of that art.
That last question and teal'c's response was so nostalgic :'D I know that he was referring to the struggle of one's past, and the bad things one had to live with, as they sought to correct them or make up for them by fighting for what was right
This man talks in Ultra 4k bass boosted HD Surround sound
I kind of love that he had no clue how much of a mainstay Claudia Black is in voice acting. I'd love to hear him do more voice acting, even if it's not in games, seeing as he has such a resinous and beautiful voice. I definitely wouldn't say no to seeing more of him in live action, but can you imagine hearing what his voice could lend to animation?
Huge interview, and the voice.. Jesus.....
If this is his natural voice in his normal day to day life I can’t imagine his morning wake up voice 😯 🤔
I would love, If he would play Kratos in a Live-Action God of War Movie some day.
If Cory Barlog and the others directors of the GoW games do it and not some shitty Hollywood adaptation
@@gameoffear1571 true... hollyweird would definitely fuck it up
I’ve fucked with dude since I was a nerdy Black child looking up to him on SG1, dope to now see him in one my favorite game series! EDIT: I think dude is just naturally a lil anti-social. Not in a bad way, he just didn’t seem to particularly like being interviewed.
Indeed
I always thought judge was a great actor. Since his days in stargate which I'm such a fan boy over but I wondered the same as many others her as to why he hasn't gotten many roles after that show. I never played god of war before and when I heard the voice I knew instantly it was Teal'c. I first saw the recent god of war game being streamed on TH-cam and when I saw the gameplay I instantly bought the game in June and I can saw this is the best game I've ever played. I'm all over the place with this comment but man that's what something you enjoy really does to you. P.S. I WANT MORE KRATOS
Was superb in Stargate. We find it crazy he hasn't been casted in more things. Such a great guy.
who would love to see a stargate game series like gow series?
it takes places in epic places like dakara, alaris, the homeworld of 'entity', atlantis, even destiny. oh god with the help of brand new animations the series can be reborn from its old shell.
Can't lie when Chris said "Indeed" in God of war I was like Hell yeah ! lol took me back to SGI. Back in the day God of war, SG1, Socom 2 was my addictions lol.
I can't fucking believe that they didn't even see him for black panther. Imagining him having any role in that movie would have really added some serious gravitas.
*eargasm*
I've never wanted someone's voice so bad!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He could revitalize the splinter cell series though. Sam Fisher is most assuredly not a step down. If michael Ironside is gone for good this voice would slide right into that role versus some young asshat that was in blacklist.
damn, this is actually a fuckin amazing idea!!! a shame i will never buy a ubisoft game ever again... #FuckUbisoft
Yes, I've been trying to think of someone with a comparable voice and this is it.
Micheal Ironsides is Sam fisher.
I’m watching this on my iPad and whenever he speaks my iPad literally vibrates from the bass in his voice
This man causes an Earth quack whenever he talks
Oh yes, an earth quack
Always Duck for cover during an earth quack.
@@DAZ_IE never realized the typo. God I'm dumb
I love christopher judge since he was teal'c the false god slaying jaffa, because of this i loved it even more that he became kratos the god killer!!
But i took a sip each time he says "uhhhh" and now im... not really drunk but, well, it's gonna be a fun monday evening!!!
His acting truly brings Kratos alive! Great game and great story! Cant wait for Ragnarok!
Sounds like the role of Kratos struck a personal chord with Christopher. I mean "walking one direction then convinced to go another" sounds a lot like how he ended up with the role in the first place. Probably why his performance in the latest God of War was so good.
I'd love Teal'c/the Stargate cast to come back! 😭 come on Netflix!
@@sebastiengarcinibusiness from looking at his weight it doesn't look like diet that's made him that big but medication. May be he's on a steroid for his health? He was slim for long time in the series and Atlantis.
His voice is so booming, it's insane. It's only become more with age.
When they say single player story based game are dead I just remind my self of his words so true and that why he so good at what he does!
His laughter is awesome
It really is 😁
His voice rattles my soul and I love it
B O Y
Just started playing this game, FINALLY, and at son as I heard to Kratos speak, I thought man this VA sounds familiar, but couldn't figure out where I knew the voice up. I'm kinda mad that I had to Google it. Tealc was my favorite character on SG-1!
Angel Gabriel: so, God, what voice will you give this human?
God: Mine.
His voice sounds like an LS motor. That's crazy!! Perfect villain voice too!!
His voice could shatter words lol
This man holds the voice of god.
A calm Kratos is the Kratos we never knew we wanted until it was given to us.
Cory deserves a lot of credit for what he created. Chris deserves credit for giving Kratos a soul and made him redeemable.
Kills me that he got looked over for a role in Black Panther. He is an amazing actor and could have done an amazing job as Zuri or M'Baku.
I'm shocked he said like 6 words in the dark knight rises and stole the spotlight it would have been great for the black panther that deep voice is powerful for a character most people don't have anywhere near that resonance
@@Bushey4545 he can be a character, maybe Galactus
he got the role in Avengers
I think he still has the golden symbol on his forehead that's why the hat. It's actually Teal'c acting as Chris acting Kratos.
I had to put the volume all the way down on 1 any higher my screen shook.
I never really watched to much of Stargate sg-1, but I knew he played in it. I really did get the just of his acting chops from this game. He seems like a really genuine guy. To bad he doesn't want to do anything else in that industry, but hey, I thought he played it perfect for the part and there will be more. Again, seems like a genuinely good person, and is greatful for what he's got.
Christopher judge , Morgan freeman ... most african american gentlemen have the manliest voice
And huge fat Dicks🍆🍆🍆
I like how you name exactly two and then extrapolate that to "most" lol.
Christopher lee.
Yeah, like chris tucker or Kevin hart? Lol, don't think color of your skin has anything to do with it.
The Greatest Voice Actor To Ever Do It Especially When He Played D Mob On Def Jam
He's voice having so much bass 😅👍
What's interesting to me is that Teal'c and Kratos are fairly similar characters; they're both soldiers that worked for a god (or "god" in the case of the Goa'uld) they really shouldn't have done and are seeking a second chance to make things right.
There are definitely differences between them, one being that Kratos gave up on the gods a lot quicker than Teal'c did with the Goa'uld. And another being that Teal'c tried a lot harder to avoid collateral damage whilst Kratos quite literally accidentally destroyed Greece.
What a cool interview.
I wanna see him as black Viking in one of the 150 Viking shows out
He is amazing 👏
something from for stargate is coming :O *.*

Christopher Judge pioneer the Metaverse:
"Where do you go after being Kratos?"
I'd just watch how his vocal cord vibrates all night.
Chris is my favorite love this guy presence
The voice alone should be a reason to give him parts in Fantasy/sci-fi movies/games....
Really glad he is the one that play kratos
I like the emphatic "NO" after he was asked if he'd do other video games.
"Where do you go after being Kratos? There is only backwards"
Legend.
A Teal'c Spin off would be the greatest shit, that Stargate can come with.
A little like Mandalorian, but with its own Stargate style.
epic voice
My chest vibrates when he talks
Its crazy I remember him from House party 2 lol
I think we are finally starting to break through to all of the out of touch fools in Hollywood and in modern society, that ignorantly believe video games are a waste of time, and are a lesser medium than sport/cinematic entertainment or are only for losers/kids.
Video games are art, and in my opinion more so than movies. God Of War as a video game was more engaging, more personal, more touching, more emotional, more epic and overall simply more impressive than almost any movie released in the last decade, and it was only the start. With Ragnarok knocking at the door I have hope that people will begin to see that video games like this are more than just a passtime for young people, they are art, they touch people, affect their lives and change their perspectives. They can inspire people to change, not only their personal temperament, but their world views as a whole.
Beautifully said.
8:29 was I the only one waiting for him to answer that question with "Indeed"?
oh my, his voice...
Kratos vs Teal’c would not end happily. On one hand you have a God that kills other gods. On the other a Jaffa who does the same! They almost have the same backstory, so they would fight it out and then maybe Kratos proves he isn’t a Goa’uld to Teal’c.
My right ear enjoyed this video alot
imagine if every time you spoke your voice vibrated the fucking furnature in your house
Christopher Judge should run for President.
