About Noshir Dalal
While his career may have begun in theatre, film, and television, Noshir is best known for his performance capture and voiceover work in video games and cartoons, and he has enjoyed playing both inspiring heroes and hateful villains in equal measure.
His most notable performance capture roles include: Charles Smith in Red Dead Redemption 2, Kotallo in Horizon Forbidden West, Bode Akuna in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Mysterio in Spider-Man 2.
In voiceover, some of his favorite roles are: Vice Admiral Rampart in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Sekiro in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Yone in League of Legends, Rain in Mortal Kombat 1, and FU in No More Heroes 3.
More recently, Noshir has rediscovered his love for tabletop gaming – joining the wonderful folks at Critical Role for both Candela Obscura, Chapter 3: The Circle of Tide and Bone, where he played Professor Rajan Savarimuthu, and Season 3 of Critical Role for Downfall, as The Emissary.
