The Denver native's first foray into PC gaming came on a DOS machine from his father's accounting job, where he immersed himself in a steady diet of shareware demos during the 80s and 90s. Chase's gaming journey led him to become a voice actor since the early 2000s, with credits including his role as Noctis in Final Fantasy 15 and his current voice work as Cyclops in X-Men: 97.",
