The actor Robert Clotworthy, tells us in an interview over at Blizzplanet.com, that he is not sure if his character Jim Raynor, the Terran hero from both StarCraft and Brood War will be in the runner up as well.
Since he made the voice of Jim Raynor about ten years ago Robert Clotworthy has done a lot. He has been making a lot of movies, both as voice-over in animated moves and real acting and he has voiced in games such as Tekken 5. Robert talks a lot about the old games and how much he enjoyed the making of it. Doing Jim Raynors voice was something totally new for him, the first time he was the voice of a character in a video game.
Jim is, says Robert, not very different from himself. Even if they do not live the same life, and Robert is maybe a bit more positive they do believe in the same principles.
- He's honest, direct, passionate, doesn't look for trouble but if trouble comes knocking... he won't run away from it, Robert says. But of course, there are a lot of differences too.
- My favorite film is "It's a wonderful life" I don't think Jim Raynor has seen it.
As for Jim Raynor's appearance in StarCraft II Robert says that he has not been contacted by Blizzard, but he would very much like to be.
- It would be a thrill to play Raynor again. I've got ten years more life experience (as does Raynor) and I would love to draw on that. Also, I'm curious to see how Raynor's doing... how's he holding up. I'm sure he's been through some intense shit.
