Fallout and Elder Scrolls actor Stephen Russell returns as Garrett in Thief: The Tarnished Mirror: 'Great to be back with the old guy'
Return of the King.
Legendary voice actor Stephen Russell has spoken about his experience reprising the role of protagonist Garrett in the upcoming Thief: The Tarnished Mirror expansion, set to release on December 3 alongside the Thief remaster. This marks Russell's first video game role, having previously worked in theater, radio, and medical readings.
Reflecting on his initial impressions of Thief, Russell was drawn to its claustrophobic atmosphere and likened the experience to channeling Clint Eastwood for the rogue's unique voice. He fondly remembered Looking Glass Studios' intense work environment in the 90s and the studio's practice of having developers record their own voice work.
Russell considers Garrett one of his favorite roles and considers the writing for the new expansion to be as strong as the original. He expressed his excitement at returning to the role and shared that it was great to be back with "the old guy."
