In this clip, TC Carson talked about some of his later film projects after 'Living Single,' including 'U-571' which boasted an all-star cast of actors. Later, TC discussed getting into voiceovers for video games and playing major roles in some of the highest grossing video games on the market. - Zábava
Him voicing Kratos is a MAJOR reason the franchise was sold to us. Without him expressing all that rage the way he did Kratos may have just been a normal angry guy
It wasn’t but ok
@@A5AP_SWEATSHIRT it definitely was
he better be careful useing Kratos voice around like that Sony loves to sue
@@A5AP_SWEATSHIRT it WAS but ok
The games were fucking awesome awesome his voice wasn’t a major play maybe it was a normal play but come on
For those who don't know, Carson's necklace is rumored to contain the Sisters of Fate who are imprisoned inside by Kratos.

@Steven Turner oh true, I didn't remember that. I wonder if that number still has that same function as of today
🤣🤣🤣
@@nicolasrey8773 it is
Sucks to hear that he never got any heads up as everyone knew him as kratos. That voice is so iconic.
Yeah fr, they owed him that
@@SoloMC-mp4py legally they owed him nothing but as a human who put work in, it seems disrespectful. I mean who knows how things went behind the scenes though. Nothing’s ever that simple.
@MorganNerdz and new fans act like no knew he was Kratos back then but he was in behind the scenes footage that came on the game disc for each game.. Every OG fan knows and respects Carson
It’s messed up man. I honestly think he would have done a great version dad of war.
Then again Teal'q got that voice so who cares
They should have at least called him up to do the voice for Kratos' memory in Helheim when he killed Zeus. Not only would it have stayed congruent with the voice he had during that era, but it would have been a great callback to a great actor.
They could've just used the recording from the previous game.
@@AllDayErrDay. yeah thats what I think as well. That scene is already in the previous game, so why not just reuse it for consistency sake?
I heard the reason they did it in Kratos’s current voice is bc this memory is playing out as the current Kratos remembers it and so it is in his current voice. When you recall dialogue of you when you were 14 do you have a 14 year olds voice or your current voice.
@@billyblanco2540 tbf you could just as easily say that it was a vision formed from his memories by Helheim and so it was able to take the form of what he was actually like, not just how he remembers himself, justifying the old voice
@@billyblanco2540 while that does make some sense, I think they mostly did it to save money. Why bring in another voice actor and pay him a chunk of cash to say one or two sentences, when you can just keep the guy you already have and not change any pay?
A TRUE LEGEND OF MY CHILDHOOD
Yoooo Azerrzz what's up men
You think you can do this voice? 😂
You choosed a good legend
Do kratos voice boi...this voice so legend
Yooo
Kratos is one of the most popular characters in gaming history. This dude is a part of the legend....
he is the legend😂fuk wrong w u
I just going for the platinum God of War 4 😎
Facts
Im not playing anymore since he is voiced by a black
@@steroe7965 Kratos is definitely a legend.He is one of the front faces for Sony.Just like Crash and Nathan Drake
The way i see it: TC Carson voiced a younger, wild, violent Kratos; Christopher Judge - older , wiser, more calm Kratos. Both versions are still scary though.
but in a flush back, they should use this guy, because it's fits him better.
Facts
@Dutch Van Der Linde thanks mate, appreciate it.
But at the same time this dude is an actor so they should of at least tried him out to see if he could get that older more calm voice out of kratos that the studio wanted.
@Mashed Potato Johnson with it, yes, i can agree with you, and perhaps he can fit the role, but i don't know
People saying that TC Carson couldn't have done a calm, deep dad voice Kratos are wrong. Just listen to his voice when he talks. He's got the talent.
I'm not saying hes not good at it but judge was just better at it but full respect for carson though he really did well in gow 1-3
and Chris is much bigger and much easier to act and voice act at the same time
@@tsukoyomi2623 the only reason is mocap he said so himself
the voice isn't the problem the movement while acting is the problem why they have to recast him Carson is a lot shorter than Kratos and during Ascension development the animator have to do a lot of animation around his movement and it's too much time consuming
@@kratosgow342 Sounds like a bunch of bullshit excuses. lmao
You don't see Lady D's VA being 11 foot tall in real life too either, do you?
Judge and Carson both have deep voices, but they portray their characters differently.
Carson's Kratos was young, vigorous and full of rage. Carson displayed kratos's grief and desire for vengeance perfectly. He was the embodiment of wrath, a true personification of a God of War.
Judge was different, his kratos was more humble and wiser. Judge's voice brought out kratos's newfound wisdom in acceptance and his role as fatherhood in a new family.
Indeed
True but I hated the helheim scene with zuess in Gow 4

A++ Interview skills you got there.
Vlad's trash as far as interviewing unless it comes to the "hood" interviews.
Lol didnt think I would see u here.
If you pay attention. You'll notice in multiple interviews, Vlad hardly responds or at least doesn't give a solid response to what the guest says after explaining themselves. He just hops to the next question. Trash interviewer
I disagree because vlads "hmm" was like "fuck them". Then, his next question made TC look good because he mentioned what he did after that situation "Star Wars" and how much he(Vlad) enjoyed it.
I get where you’re coming from but think about if you were Vlad. Would you respond to everything? Just because vlad is interviewing them, that doesn’t mean he wants to put his words into their business. I don’t like Vlad, but he’s smart for not saying much. It keeps him out of trouble as well.
Hearing his voice outside God Of War is so eerie.. it’s like hearing Kratos himself talking
Its like listening to the inner monolog of kratos

@@whitelichmage7004
I’m with you on this.
TC Carson is Kratos just as much as Christopher Judge, maybe more depending on your opinion. His voice perfectly fits the young, rage filled spartan that swore revenge on the gods themselves and Christopher Judge for the older, wiser but still haunted by his past.
More, TC voiced Kratos for like 6 games bro lol not even close GOW 1-3, Chains of Olympus, Ascension and Ghost of Sparta lol

Scottie Pippen rings a bell? Lol
He's an amazing voice actor. His voice represented Kratos's youth and rage. Old man Kratos having a different voice makes sense.
Facts
almost like naked snake & big boss situation
Those were my thoughts exactly, and I agree entirely too, it makes sense. But as he said, that could've easily have been explained to him when they decided to go in that other direction. It's not just a lack of respect as he mentioned in the interview, bc he's totally right in that regard too, but also the strong lack of professionalism... But I think respect and professionalism both go hand in hand. Maybe that's just me, idk, what do y'all think???
It very well could have. Carson is an actor, a damn fine one at that, and Kratos in the old games wasn't *just* youth and rage. There was depth there, even subtlety, when the cutscene or line of dialogue would call for it.
They disrespected this man big time by simply swapping him out and not working with him to truly grow Kratos as a person. Mocap is no excuse, there are ways around that issue I'm sure.
I like the new guy. He's great. But I'm tired of seeing these takes of "Carson was only good as the young & angry Kratos". Because we've seen glimpses of him doing more subdued, emotional scenes, and I feel we've been robbed of a more layered performance from him. I hope they bring him back in some capacity in the future. Perhaps for some flashbacks or old lore segments depicting younger Kratos. It's the least they can do, IMO.
Hard disagree. He's an actor, he should have just been directed to play the character differently. People only have takes like this for voice acting. If Keanu Reeves had been recast for matrix four (irregardless of the quality of the movie) it would have been a bad choice. And we can see that with agent Smith being recast and the fan reaction behind that. Pick any movie franchise with a long gap between movies or with an updated characterization of the lead. Should they have recast a wiser sounding man for the later Rambo movies? Should they have recast Han Solo in the recent star wars? Christopher Judge gave a great performance don't get me wrong, but they could have worked with Carson on this one. The same as with the guy for metal gear solid.
I immediately heard 'ZEUS' when he spoke
What a legend

GoW 1 : the gods of olympus has abandoned me
GoW 2 : zoos

He could've still voiced Kratos with no problem, he did deeper and calmer voices in the first games.
no shit.... ppl who say that carson couldn't and that's the reason why they replaced him are just stupid
Absolutely and I think his best work was when he voice kratos in God of war Ascension which is technically God of war 1 with chains of Olympus being right after and then God of war One, and then Ghost of Sparta and then God of war 2 & 3 .
He mentioned it could’ve had more to do with the motion capture aspect
@@reggie1319 They could've used Judge for mocap and Carson for voice, they do that all the time in games.
@@hindd92 Christopher Judge has done an amazing job as both, especially for this mature version of Kratos so it only made sense

The fact that they didnt have him at least voice young kratos on the throne in the Valhalla DLC was criminal.
If they would have parted on good terms he definitely would have, if Santa Monica would have atleast let him go the right way
Another criminal thing is that, I think to this day that TC Carson should have been the kratos voice actor from 2018, nothing wrong with Christopher judge but the excuse that TC carson got replaced because of mocap and he got replaced because he didn't had the muscular physique of kratos is bullshit. Is a terrible excuse because a lot of characters look nothing like the voice actors physique, brok and sindri and fat thor is proof of that.
@@gabszzthats a really good point!
@@gabszzdamn good point
Hey, the speech we got was an amazing character analogy. Let’s just be happy about that, yeah?
Hearing how he got replaced and no one contacted him about GoW4 just like they did with Laurence Fishburne no longer being Morpheus for Matrix 4. Upsetting how they do that to people. Had no idea this man voiced Mace Windu in clone wars. Amazing!! This guy is awesome!
First of all there are only 3 MATRIX MOVIES!!!
(that last one one was a steaming pile of garbage thrown up from several cats, dogs, and birds...
Re-digested.... thrown up again, then burned till ash.) second of all
EVEN Lawrence fishburne saw what they were going to do and said "fuck you tranny's ain't going to be a part of this!"
He seems like a chill calm dude
Which is most likely why you don't see a single wrinkle on his face.
Which is weird to see him play a character which has such rage. Lol 😂
He’s just high
Didn't know this guy did Mace Windu as well. He did a great job. Hopefully he continues to get gigs cause hes super talented.
Yes, please keep giving this wonderful man jobs, that he can turn into works of art.
If Mace Windu good looking, calm and never angry, it would be this dude lol
@@asniffer6532 he voiced mace windu............
And Zeus' voice actor voiced Dooku in clone wars I believe.
Kinda sad they didn't even call him to tell him they were letting him go. His voice was and is still spectacular. I still like Judge's interpretation and I respect him as an actor, but Carson was just something else. Can't imagine anyone else who could have played young kratos as amazing as he portrayed him
Just how it is. If the don't want to hire you then they won't call you. That's what happened to David Hayter voice of Solid Snake. They literally just never talked to him again after 10+ years of games.

@@RollingOnFloorLaughingdo remember that god of war 2018 was a soft reboot it was in a new mythology and new genre of instead of a hack and slash on a locked in camera gow 2018 was a third person semi world open game with rpg elements and in retrospective you can tell the improvements in the cutscenes in gow 2018 compared to gow 3
and it was clear they are trying something they never done before and besides kratos's voice they were looking for Christopher judges acting and his chemistry with Sunny Suljic
plus Rockstar pretty much mastered 3rd person open worlds and Dutch's actor has been in both red games so they proobably had his figure figured out still terrible though that there wasnt callbacks to tc carson it feels random to just straight up forget about him

I think Christopher Judge has absolutely smashed the new Kratos and the devs made the right decision with the recasting, but this man was phenomenal in the originals and he deserved the call he wanted. Respect TC, I loved that original trilogy, great performance
definitely not the right decision just for the sake of recasting TC Carson but for budget and making development easier was maybe the right decision although Carson should've remained for the development of gow 4..... everything gow related before gow 2018, it was Caron that voiced kratos
@@godzillazfriction wait do you think Judge was cheaper because he definitely was more expensive. GOW 2018 is a departure from the old games. Cory Barlog wanted to leave those games behind and go in a new direction combat wise and story wise. It’s a different interpretation of Kratos and because of that he needed a new voice.
Bro Judge is so much better
@@rrbcraftergames3361 For monotonous senile babbling, perhaps.
@@M0rD0l True God of war fan right here Kudos to you, I agree, Fuck the new boring one. Doesn't even has substance is all flare and nothing more.
At the very least the old GOW games were more focused on being GOOD fucking games instead of long ass boring missions with dumb puzzles and stale combat.
“ do not deny me my revenge “ best line of the series. Thanks for the memories
You will pay for this Zeus, be curtained of that
Vlad is such a terrible interviewer. The people he gets on the show truly save him lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the way he tackles questions is embarassing
"such a great game god of war... I played the last one... you were not in it"
i was like... "dude, really??"
He sounds like he has the people on a damn casting couch.
fax
Agree
Nobody can replace him, as Kratos.
Damn right! Tc Carson is a legend and he will always be remembered for playing one of the best, meanest and most badass video game character to ever be created and he definitely deserves more credit. I hear way too many people talking about Steve Downes the voice of Master Chief and it's really annoying. I mean yes Master Chief is an awesome character in all but is also extremely overratted and is given more credit than what he deserves. Not to mention i'm not a Halo fan and never found any game (except Halo Reach and Halo CE) to be particularly interesting.
Idk the new god of war voice actor sounds bad ass
@@edwardwalden05 I like the guy that plays voices kratos now, But i was just saying that the original kratos could never be replaced, The first guy that voiced kratos added more emotion.
Kay Phenom nahh, the flashback lines sounded flat afff in the new one. Carson all the way
Being around since the birth of God of War. The original trilogy TC. Was what gave us Kratos. The angry, world ender. But Christopher gave us the Protector, and Father. I'm sorry I love both!
Hearing him speak in his normal voice, he would have nailed it as old Kratos
T. C. Carson has been a part of my youth since "Living Single" days.
Never knew he was one and the same person voicing Kratos.
Legend... 😎👍
Kyle!!
I'm usually on point with this kinda stuff, and I DIDN'T KNOW EITHER 🤣
It was unfortunate that he wasn't playing kratos anymore but the stargate guy did a great job as a older lesser angry kratos
Truth. Christopher handled it pretty well.
Christopher is better fit for the kratos 2018,TC fit more the previus one,the younger,the less muscular one...but the old kratos we saw in 2018 for me Chris was a better choice.
@@XNeohaggenX umm younger kratos was *more* muscular. But TV Carson's voice fit better for young kratos
@@SenjiroAkechi you think so? It might just be cause of the armor he wears in the new game he seems a lot bigger to me than in the previous games
If they would've gave him a chance he would've been a great older Kratos regardless of what we are used to hearing..
I love my Final Destination movies. I will always remember TC, as 'Eugene' the biker guy in Final Destination 2.
Damn, that Kratos voice 🙌🏾💯
Ur beautiful
@@mrroachclip8444 thank u❤
@@char_d.0908 ur welcome ma🌹
was shocked when I found out a few years ago too
Final Destination movies have made me be paranoid of everything around me.
Nobody wants to talk about this man's style? Just fire.
It looks awful
@@juliotironi3134 Nope
I bet it's better than any fit you got. Quit hating@@juliotironi3134
this is the OG kratos voice actor, they need to bring him back for the ps5 version!!
TC Carson is a LEGEND
At the very least a cameo like come on
I agree! He is the real Kratos!
I like the new voice, he works well overall, it would be nice that if there were flashbacks that theyd use TCs voice.
yea man make him voice cameo for him where young kratos goes on adventure add him voice man
3:53, Cory!!!! I am coming for you!!!! lol
Even after all of the terrible things Kratos has done throughout his quest for vengeance he will always be one of the best, coolest, and down right most badass video game characters of all time voiced by this legendary man known as Tc Carson.
truly a legend TC Carson... I'm super happy that Chris Judge was able to fill the void perfectly... captured the different tones so perfectly both of them...
For as wonderful as Christopher Judge is and he is TOP notch, Carson is irreplaceable as young, in his prime Kratos who is just boiling over with rage and sadistic god slaying vengeance. Chris does “Old Man Kratos”/Dad Kratos who’s mellowed out and gives off the “I’m too old for this s***” vibe perfectly while making it feel organic and a natural extension of Carson’s character. Hats off to both actors as they both represent two very different and distinct points in Kratos’ life and reflect that amazingly.
He look like Denis Rodman’s alter ego
I can see that
@UCl9-Qy3dVFOTMgg8PEClxGA lmao
Ali Tamimi LOL
LMAOOOOO kinda sounds like him too
Accurate
TC's voice is magical. I'm so glad I took the time to watch this because, I'll be honest, I had not idea he was the force behind Kratos and Mace Windu. He did an amazing job in both roles. Huge thanks to him for bringing those characters to life.
TC Carson!! This man was an acting legend; he was such a great part of 'Living SIngle', and he's aged so well. Still got that style!
He seems like a really cool dude... thanks for bringing us such an amazing voice
It's sad that they don't want to continue with T.C. Carson voice acting Kratos he made that character his own in my opinion but no disrespect towards the other guy who voices Kratos now
He will be on the new one
Its not that they dont want to. They just needed someone bigger to do Voice acting and motion capture
Indeed
@@whocares7925 well they did that with ascensions like he said one for voice other a mocap
but with 4 they wanted someone elss
samething that happened to David Hayter who voiced Solid Snake
Wow Santa Monica Studios disrespected TC Carson like that? I’m disappointed to be honest.
What Happened
Christopher Judge is great too.
Monica Studios didn't owe him anything... Kratos is theirs to do with, as they please.
@@BobaDavis Out of respect they could have let him known that he was being replaced. Like he said, people in the acting world get replaced all the time. The least you could do after working with someone for almost a decade is let them know you found someone else.
@@boomboominroom The last time they asked him for Kratos voice work was 2013.....they didn't owe him anything. And considering the reason as to why he was not used, there is no disrespect.
In what universe does a company have to let you know that they aren't considering you for a project they never spoke to you about, in the first place?
I liked him as Kratos, but nothing was owed to him, after that series of work was completed.
Am I the only one who didn't know that TC voiced Kratos for the first God of War trilogy?
That's really cool. :)
Yep
Absolutely
Hell nah i didnt either lol
@@villain815 I'm surprised that I didn't get any comments or thumbs up over my comment on the latest Young Buck clip.
I thought I was banned from the comment section of VLADTV.
Yes
Him and Keith David are voice acting legends for Kratos & Spawn respectively
He looks young for a 62 year old!
It's like they say men age like wine.
Blacks don't crack but whites do
Bruh 62?! I legit thought he was around 45 to 55 .
WHAT
@@super-engineer8437 😂
T.C. has an highly cultured way of speaking &, can Author vocally pretty much anything. His voice as Kratos; impeccable.
Can we take a moment to how iconic this look is? It’s exudes “I’m present and here to teach you something.”
this guy definitely didn’t need to be replaced
When TC showed up in Black Lightning I was like LOOK AT SCOOTER HOOKING HIS MANS UP!
Lol
Where is static shock ?
"It's how it was done." Is a reoccurring theme in his acting career.
It's a theme in the business across the board. As artists, you give yourself to these projects and the productions behind them. You MAKE these projects what they are and you should at least get respect for it. Just let him know he was let go, especially after all he did for GOW. You see these reactions in the comments when he did Kratos?? Nuff said. That's simply not how people in this realm work so it will always be THE theme.
This man has voiced 2 of my favorites characters, Kratos and Mace Windu. Absolutely love this man’s work. 💯🤙
Wow that Kratos line gave me chills lol. This man is a legend. Thanks Vlad for putting a face, name, and story to the voice
The Orginal version will always be better🎯you a legend OG‼️
You know that's a lie.
ya true but if they continued the og engines the games wouldn't have been as popular as the new rpg like engine
@@UssyMustyYS original is definetly better
Now we need you again REMAKE GOD OF WAR❗️❗️❗️🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥
Awe, it's sad to hear they didn't actually tell him they were replacing him for GOW. Don't get me wrong, I love Judge in the role as well, but Carson is still Kratos in my mind.
Yeah man. I'm happy for Judge but I'm bummed TC didn't continue as Kratos although I do understand why they had to change
The business can be a btch aint it?
But I bet if he was yt they would've gave him a heads up ..and paid him
@@milosmitic2071 but he not so they didn’t
@@tonystarke9820 .. my point exactly my guy
Terrance Carson IS Kratos. I'm actually really upset that Santa Monica or SCEA didn't let him know ahead of time about the actor change.
Same here
