One last Arcade Spirits voice to introduce to you… the villain of our little drama, Deco Nami, owner of the Deco’s Palace chain of franchise arcades… played by none other than Mark Meer!
Mark is best known as the voice of Commander Shepard, Blasto, the Vorcha, Niftu Ca, and many more in Bioware’s acclaimed Mass Effect Trilogy. Mark plays multiple roles throughout Bioware’s Dragon Age series, including Athras and the Werewolves in Dragon Age: Origins, Jethann and Hybris in Dragon Age II, the Darkspawn Disciples in Dragon Age: Awakenings, and Cabot in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Mark also appears in the Baldur’s Gate games, including the original Bioware releases, plus Beamdog’s Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, and Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear as the drow sorcerer Baeloth the Entertainer, sun-soul monk Rasaad yn Bashir, and dozens of other characters, including the most major of the modern minor mages, Alveus Malcanter. He currently stars as pilot William MacKenzie in the ongoing post-acopalyptic survival game The Long Dark from Hinterland Studio. Other voice work includes Bioware’s Jade Empire, Blue Wizard Digital’s 1980’s slasher-horror homage Slayaway Camp, and Chapterhouse Studio’s new Captain Canuck animated series, The Prometheus Protocol. Mark is a co-creator, writer, and star of the award-winning Canadian TV series, Tiny Plastic Men. He is a writer and cast member on APTN’s sketch comedy show CAUTION: May Contain Nuts, and a veteran of CBC Radio’s nationally-broadcast comedy program, The Irrelevant Show. Mark is a five-time nominee for the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Male Improvisor, and a longtime member of the improv troupes Rapid Fire Theatre and Die-Nasty: The Improvised Soap Opera. His film credits include A Frosty Affair (with Jewel Staite) and the cult classic FUBAR 2.
I can’t tell you how incredibly thrilled I am to be working with Mark in Arcade Spirits, where he breathes life into the corporate tycoon of the arcade world, the infamous Deco Nami. His experience delivering amazing voice performances really shines through in this character!
We’ve got one last Voice Spotlight coming your way for Ashley, but that one will have to be delayed a bit. Meanwhile, we’ll be starting Dev Spotlights in the next few days to introduce you to the whole Arcade Spirits team, including musicians and artists and more.
