The stars of YouTube D&D series Natural Six Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle and Ben Starr reveal the challenges and joys of creating characters for roles than can stretch to 40 hours of invisible screen time
With no big name voice actors to emulate, Cockle channelled the gruff charisma of his childhood acting hero, Harrison Ford, in turn influencing a new generation of actors. “I think you’re like Harrison Ford, Doug,” interjects a smiling Ben Starr, the voice of Clive, Final Fantasy XVI’s stoic protagonist, “you’re my Harrison Ford.”
While he is best known for playing lovable villain Aethelwold in medieval Netflix drama, The Last Kingdom, McEntire reveals that he relished spending so much time with reluctant hero Noah in Nintendo’s 2022 RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles 3. “I was terrified!” he says. “ is a franchise that means so much to me. It’s a huge risk to go into something and place yourself in a world where the thing that means the most to you could reject you. That was something that I was really, really scared about.”
