In 1998, Hayter voiced [[Solid Snake]] in the highly successful [[PlayStation]] [[video game]] ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. He provided Snake's voice in later ''[[Metal Gear (series)|Metal Gear]]'' games such as ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' and ''[[Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes]]'' (which was a remake of ''Metal Gear Solid''), and provided the voice for a closely related character, [[Naked Snake]], in the [[prequel]]s ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'' and ''[[Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops]]''. Most recently he has voiced Solid Snake (now called Old Snake) in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]''.


Hayter also provided the voice of Solid Snake for the character's guest appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a [[Wii]] fighting game unrelated to the Metal Gear series. Hayter is one of the few ''Metal Gear Solid'' actors to date to have played and beaten the ''Metal Gear'' games he's voiced in,<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://uk.psp.gamespy.com/playstation-portable/kojima-productions-project/747389p1.html|accessdate = 15 December|accessyear= 2006|title= UK PSP}}</ref> while co-star [[Christopher Randolph]] has only played ''Metal Gear Solid''.

According to an interview with [[Paul Eiding]], Hayter gave up half of his own paycheck in order to bring back the cast of ''Metal Gear Solid'' for the remake, ''[[Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes|The Twin Snakes]]''. This is the reason why the voice acting in ''The Twin Snakes'' was almost completely redone with the same voice actors, one of the few differences being the actor for [[Gray Fox]], [[Greg Eagles]], who was replaced by [[Rob Paulsen]].

An interview with David Hayter by ''[[Game Informer]]'' in 2001 showed that Hayter wished for the then-unconfirmed ''Metal Gear Solid'' movie to be [[anime|animated]] or made in [[computer-generated imagery|CGI]], possibly so he could provide the voice of Solid Snake. He also wished to be the screenwriter under the possible supervision of Hideo Kojima{{Fact|date=July 2007}}. That plan did not pan out correctly and his script was rejected by Konami. However, it isn't known if he will or will not be cast for the role or any role in the movie.

His work with Metal Gear Solid has also led Hayter to other video game voices, such as characters in ''[[Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem]]'', by [[Silicon Knights]], who also developed ''[[Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

Hayter also wrote a 134 page screenplay adaptation to the graphic novel ''[[Watchmen]]'' by [[Alan Moore]] and David Gibbons. Noted for being a harsh critic of translations of his works to film, Moore said of the script "David Hayter's screenplay was as close as I could imagine anyone getting to ''Watchmen''. That said, I shan't be going to see it. My book is a comic book. Not a movie, not a novel. A comic book. It's been made in a certain way, and designed to be read a certain way." [http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1120854,00.html] However, he was dropped from the project after a disagreement with [[Universal Studios]], and so will not be a part of the [[Watchmen (film)|upcoming film version]]. In an interview with the IGN podcast team, David revealed he will get credited for writing the screenplay. [[Alex Tse]] has taken over writing the screenplay.

David Bryan Hayter (born February 6 1969) is an American voice actor, actor, and screenwriter. He is best known for providing the English voices of Solid Snake and later Naked Snake in the popular Metal Gear Solid series, and for writing the screenplay for X-Men and co-writing the screenplay for X2. He also wrote the screenplay for Watchmen from the graphic novel of the same name. Earlier in his acting career, he played the lead role in the live-action Guyver: Dark Hero.

Though born in California, Hayter's parents were Canadian. He started acting at the age of 9. He also did some live acting in the early 1990s, but became interested in voice acting after making a cameo appearance in an episode of the sitcom Major Dad, and later landed the role of Captain America in the popular 1994 Spider-Man and X-Men: Evolution animated series. He also provided the voice of Arsène Lupin III in the English language version of the anime film The Castle of Cagliostro.

Metal Gear Solid

In 1998, Hayter voiced Solid Snake in the highly successful PlayStation video game Metal Gear Solid. He provided Snake's voice in later Metal Gear games such as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (which was a remake of Metal Gear Solid), and provided the voice for a closely related character, Naked Snake, in the prequels Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Most recently he has voiced Solid Snake (now called Old Snake) in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Hayter also provided the voice of Solid Snake for the character's guest appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Wii fighting game unrelated to the Metal Gear series. Hayter is one of the few Metal Gear Solid actors to date to have played and beaten the Metal Gear games he's voiced in,[1] while co-star Christopher Randolph has only played Metal Gear Solid.

According to an interview with Paul Eiding, Hayter gave up half of his own paycheck in order to bring back the cast of Metal Gear Solid for the remake, The Twin Snakes. This is the reason why the voice acting in The Twin Snakes was almost completely redone with the same voice actors, one of the few differences being the actor for Gray Fox, Greg Eagles, who was replaced by Rob Paulsen. [1]

An interview with David Hayter by Game Informer in 2001 showed that Hayter wished for the then-unconfirmed Metal Gear Solid movie to be animated or made in CGI, possibly so he could provide the voice of Solid Snake. He also wished to be the screenwriter under the possible supervision of Hideo Kojima[citation needed]. That plan did not pan out correctly and his script was rejected by Konami. However, it isn't known if he will or will not be cast for the role or any role in the movie.

His work with Metal Gear Solid has also led Hayter to other video game voices, such as characters in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, by Silicon Knights, who also developed Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for the Nintendo GameCube.
