Hmm, this could actually be interesting.

He's a very talented and versatile actor, and has experience in action/spy films. I just wonder how well he can do a deep, gravelly voice. He is a lot younger than Michael Ironside's aging veteran character, but I guess that's to be expected, as it will ensure he can make more films in the future if this one's successful. Shoot, they even replaced Mr. Ironside's voice in the game and redesigned the character model because they were going for something a bit more youthful, so this isn't that strange.
