🚨When I said I was in my Sith Era, I really meant it…  I’m beyond excited to announce that I play the long-anticipated Darth Nul in Star Wars: The Old Republic. All thanks to @geekyfriedrice.bsky.social  , Sr. Community Manager at @swtor.com , who really “put in a good word for me” with the devs.

🚨I’M IN STAR WARS!!!

Had a great time visiting New Tales in Lyon, here’s just a snippet of what happened there! It was a joyful couple of days spent with the team making this wonderful game. 🌊 Wishlist @fadingechogame.bsky.social today 😏

You probably didn’t know this, but back in 2005 I played Random Dent in the adaptation of Douglas Adams’ “Mostly Harmless”. Directed by @dirk_maggs for BBC Radio 4 and entitled “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Hexagonal Phase”, it was the final part of Douglas’ seminal work.

After spotting the book at SDCC (Apparently, that's not Gale on the cover!?), I had the pleasure of meeting Lenora Woods at @fanexpoboston.bsky.social !  She treated me to a lovely signed copy, and I got to share some of Karlach's book related lines as well 😂  What do you think, should I read it? 😉

Karlach running with a new crew… 👀 I had a blast at @fanexpoboston.bsky.social‬, thank you to everyone who made the experience incredible ♥️ See you at the next one ❤️‍🔥

"[It's a] testament to Sarah Baylus, who's the dialogue writer for Karlach — absolutely nailed it. The diverse groups of people who find comfort in that character — I've never seen that in anything I played." Such a pleasure chatting with @amychenofficial.bsky.social at Esports about Karlach & more!

What an absolute (hehe 🐙) whirlwind! Incredibly grateful to the players and fans of this game, these stories, and Karlach ❤️‍🔥 happy to be on this journey with all of you!

This was a lovely conversation, and Brad included a whole bunch of people I’ve worked with of late, so do have a look! Thanks @bradshankar.bsky.social!

I believe it's time to share the finished result! I had to wait (impatiently) to share this because I wanted to give the very first print to @samanthabeart.bsky.social at HDCC before sharing it online. Words cannot describe how honored I am to have met Sam. I'll cherish this moment forever. 🫶
