Nolan North Will Narrate the Uncharted Audiobook
Sony Pictures
Nolan North might not be physically portraying Nathan Drake in the new movie, but he will still be playing him in a way. The actor will narrate the official Audiobook adaptation of the film. This means he will also be doing the voices of all of the characters, including Drake. Though North says he tried to make himself sound a little younger for the voice.
“I got to do Antonio Banderas, a little bit of a Mark Wahlberg and put on my own Boston accent a little bit,” North said of the audiobook. “And then Nathan Drake. I didn’t do Tom Holland, though. I kind of just did me. I tried to young him up a little bit.”
Uncharted is now playing in movie theaters.
