Nolan North is an actor and voice actor from Connecticut. Although he's been in the business for a while, he's only starting to gain prominence due to his rather distinctive voice. Most of the characters he voices are average people who find themselves in really bad situations, and cope with them using a good heaping of sarcasm.

Currently, he has a regular gig on the CartoonNetwork show ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. He also seems to be Marvel's go-to guy for voicing {{Deadpool}}. He's one of two alliteration-named actors to play both GreenLantern and Deadpool, the other being RyanReynolds.

IIRC, this is untrue according to a developer.


He does have range, but he still usually is asked to do the "[[UnchartedDrakesFortune Drake]]" voice. In ''{{Singularity}}'', this is actually used to [[RedHerring throw the player off]], and in ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'', like everything else, used to further the game's brutal {{deconstruction}} of shooter clichés.

* PigeonHoledVoiceActor: Considered this in that his most well-known roles tend to be TheEveryman in some way. However he's quite capable of other roles as well.
* PlayingAgainstType: He's damn near ''unrecognizable'' in VideoGame/{{Portal 2}} due in part to his voice being digitally processed. Though the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGxj3cxYWYY Rick the Adventure Sphere]] sounds a lot like a caricature of Nathan Drake. And his role as Steven Heck and Deadpool are a far cry from his regular characters.
** Two words: [[NaziZombies Edward. Richtofen.]]
** Two more words: [[BatmanArkhamCity The]] [[CompleteMonster Penguin]].
** Two even more words: '''[[{{Naruto}} Madara Uchiha]]'''.
* SerkisFolk: Not only does he voice Drake, but he also supplies Mocap for him. He even cites Andy Serkis as something of a personal hero.
* TalkingToHimself: He is often used for additional less significant voices in other projects not listed on this page so stuff like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpRkT9JxdnE&feature=player_embedded this]] sometimes tend to happen. Also in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' he plays Superman and Superboy who regularly interact.
* TheRealHeroes: He did a book on the creation of ''Uncharted: Drake's Deception'' due to the fact that he felt that the developers themselves deserved more recognition than him and that he felt somewhat guilty about how little he knew of the actual process of making a game.
* ThrowItIn: The "Aw, kitty got wet" taunt from ''{{Uncharted}}'' came from his son while the two were playing Wii Tennis.[[hottip:*:The background from his son when Nolan asked him to explain that bit of trash-talk? "Cats don't like getting wet."]]
