20. Sharpies And Highlighters Doubled As Sully's Cigar

One of Victor Sullivan's defining traits is his deep love of cigars. There are many, many scenes throughout the series where he can be seen avidly chomping on one, but when shooting these moments, certain other items had to be used in place of a real cigar.

Over on their YouTube channel Retro Replay, voice actors Nolan North (Nate Drake) and Troy Baker (Sam Drake) once revealed that Richard McGonagle (Sully) doesn't actually smoke cigars. Still, during motion-capture sessions, a real cigar was used initially, but because it was in McGonagle's mouth all day, it eventually turned wet and unpleasant. Not nice - especially for a non-smoker.

As a result, the crew gave McGonagle Sharpies and yellow highlighters to stick in his mouth instead, which doubled as the cigar for filming purposes.
