The irony is that Kratos has actually had two voice actors over the game’s series. T.C. Carson voiced Kratos in God of War, 2, 3, Soul Caliber, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, Mortal Kombat, and Ascension. Christopher Judge voiced Kratos in God of War (2018) and 2022’s God of War: Ragnarok.
Douglas Christopher Judge is an American actor best known for playing Teal’c in the Canadian-American military science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, and Kratos in the 2018 video game God of War.
Both Carson and Judge have had prolific voice acting careers, with the latter also having a memorable live-action role in Stargate: SG-1. Carson also had a great performance in Final Destination 2 and appeared in an episode of Black Lightning. Both have voiced other video game characters before, and they’ve put in great performances while doing so.
Christopher Judge worked throughout the ’90s in film and TV, but the actor did not make his video game debut until 2003. Cast as D-Mob in EA’s Def Jam Vendetta, Judge’s powerful voice complemented the mob boss’s authoritative persona. D-Mob serves as a fantastic antagonist in Vendetta, and his presence does a lot to elevate the story.
