Vanguard, the highly anticipated addition to the Call of Duty franchise, releases on November 5, 2021. The story takes place during World War II and follows a group of elite soldiers as they fight for victory. Filled with drama and action, the game’s immersive elements work well due to the incredible actors who lend their voices and likenesses to the characters on screen.

Fans of film and television may recognize them from some projects they have been a part of. If players are impressed with the talents of the actors who portray the characters in the game, they will likely enjoy other work they have done.

10 Chiké Okonkwo – La Brea (2021- )

Voicing the main protagonist Arthur Kingsley, Chiké Okonkwo provides his voice and likeness in the role of the leader of Task Force One. Previously, he portrayed Will in 2016’s The Birth of a Nation. More recently, he began starring in the new NBC sci-fi drama La Brea as the character Ty Coleman.

The character is a voice of reason in many scenarios, and due to Okonkwo’s excellent performance in the role, Coleman is a fan favorite. He is brave and kind to his fellow survivors, and it is largely because of Okonkwo’s acting that the character is so beloved.

9 Derek Phillips – Friday Night Lights (2006-2011)

Though he made guest appearances in many TV series over the years, one of Derek Phillips’s most prominent roles was as Billy Riggins in the iconic series Friday Night Lights. Though not a central character, Billy is important to many stories in the show, many of which involve his brother, Tim.

Billy has been raising his brother for some time, and the complexity of the character is part of what makes him so interesting to watch. Phillips’s incredible performance in the role is what makes him such a memorable figure and lets him contribute to some of the best seasons of Friday Night Lights. He is playing Wade Jackson in Vanguard.

8 Laura Bailey – Critical Role (2015- )

Well known as a voice actor for various video games such as The Last of Us Part II, Spider-Man, and Gears 5, Laura Bailey has had many more roles of this kind than in film or television. However, one project she is well known for is Critical Role.

While not a television show in the conventional sense, this weekly actual play show features her talents in a variety of roles over several campaigns. She lends her voice acting talents to great effect, and she will be excellent as Polina Petrova in Vanguard.

7 Martin Copping – Zombie Hunter (2013)

Before playing the role of Lucas Riggs in Call of Duty: Vanguard, Martin Copping made guest appearances on a number of television shows, and he provided his voice to several video game roles. In 2013, though, he had a starring role in the film Zombie Hunter as the character named Hunter.

Though the film was critically panned, it nevertheless gave Copping a role that helped to demonstrate his abilities to lead a project. It put him on the map as someone who has the potential to do great things.

6 Steven Brand – Teen Wolf (2011-2017)

Portraying Henry Baker in Vanguard, Steven Brand has appeared on many television shows, but he is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Dr. Gabriel Valack in the television series Teen Wolf. He becomes an antagonist in the latter half of the series, and his interest in learning about the circumstances surrounding the main characters is a source of drama in the episodes in which he takes part.

Brand gives a stellar performance as the complex character that makes the villain more sympathetic, even if audiences do not agree with his actions. He is one of the reasons “Lie Ability” is perhaps the best Teen Wolf episode of the fifth season.

5 Ron Bottitta – Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (2011)

Playing the role of Carver Butcher in Call of Duty: Vanguard is Ron Bottitta, best known for a variety of voice acting roles in video games and ADR work in many movies and television shows. Fans may recognize his voice from Transformers: Dark of the Moon, in which he portrayed Roadbuster, a member of the Autobots.

Using his vocal talents, Ron Bottitta brings Roadbuster to life and makes the most of the time the machine is on-screen, even though the character is not one of the main protagonists.

4 Nikolai Nikolaeff – Daredevil (2015-2018)

Nikolai Nikolaeff may be most recognizable to general audiences as the character Vladimir Ranskahov, who is the leader of a crime organization and serves as a partial antagonist to Daredevil. Though his appearance in the show is brief, Nikolaeff leaves an impression on the viewer as a three-dimensional character.

Though it is true that the character is excellently written, Vladimir’s journey would not have had the same effect without the grounded portrayal put forth by Nikolai Nikolaeff. The amazing characters in the show are a major reason why fans want Daredevil to be brought back into the MCU, and Vladimir Ranskahov is a great example of what the show had to offer.

3 Christopher Rivas – Call Me Kat (2021- )

As the character of Mateo in Call of Duty: Vanguard, Christopher Rivas has exceptional talent in the world of acting, and he has showcased this in his role as Oscar on Call Me Kat. Oscar and the titular main character begin dating during the first season, and he has quickly become a favorite among fans of the show.

This is not his first role, but it is one in which he plays a prominent part, making him more well-known to general audiences. It is clear that Rivas has a bright future ahead of him.

2 Ray Proscia – Suits (2011-2019)

Playing the role of Steiner, a prominent but brief antagonist in Vanguard, Ray Proscia has had a storied career so far. One of his most memorable characters is Dr. Stan Lipschitz, a therapist to Louis Litt in Suits. The figure is a memorable one because of his thoughtful nature and the useful advice he gives to one of the main characters.

Proscia does a fantastic job in the part, and it is evident that he can play a variety of roles. Dr. Lipschitz is not a prominent enough figure to be considered one of the best recurring characters on Suits, but his presence adds a lot to a scene.

1 Max Deacon – Into The Storm (2014)

In Call of Duty: Vanguard, the role of Tommy Jones is played by Max Deacon. Before this, Deacon had portrayed many characters, one of which is Donnie in 2014’s Into the Storm. This character is a high school student who attempts to study and understand the mysterious and dangerous storms in the area.

It is not the most well-received movie he has been a part of, but it was widely watched at the time of its release, making Deacon a more recognizable actor. Though the film has not been given extensive positive critical attention, Deacon is great in his role, helping the movie to stand a bit taller.
