Iconic Voice Actor Shuts Down Trump White House With 'Crystal Clear' Message On War Post
HuffPost
Steve Downes wasn't pleased with the Trump administration for featuring the popular character in the "disgusting" wartime message.
A video game legend is taking on President Donald Trump’s administration after he accused the White House of using his voice for a “propaganda video” to back the administration’s war on Iran.
Steve Downes, the voice behind the soldier Master Chief from the Halo video game franchise, took to social media on Sunday to slam the White House for posting a video featuring his iconic character declaring that he’s “finishing this fight.” The Halo clip tees up separate footage of a strike followed by an explosion.
“Let me make this crystal clear: I did not participate in nor was I consulted, nor do I endorse the use of my voice in this video, or the message it conveys,” Downes wrote.
“I demand that the producers of this disgusting and juvenile war porn remove my voice immediately.”
The White House shared the video on Thursday, a little under two weeks after the start of the U.S.-Israeli military offensive on Iran.
