6. Julius Little - Saints Row
When Saints Row was released in 2006, exclusively on the Xbox 360, few could have predicted what the series would go on to achieve. In fact, scratch that, nobody could have foretold the longevity Saints Row as a series would enjoy, or the direction Volition Inc would eventually take things. Growing from a humble street gang into a media powerhouse, all before becoming defenders of the galaxy, the title characters of Saints Row enabled the franchise to shed accusations of being nothing more than a GTA-clone in the years since the first game. Sure, much of what made GTA III such a titanic release in 2001 still remains, even in Saints Row IV. A sandbox-style playground, permeated by missions which can be tackled at the player's leisure, and a tongue-in-cheek attitude, is still very much the backbone of the series, but it appears to now be at peace with itself, something which can't be said of many 'GTA clones'. Despite moving away from the gangland ties which underpinned the initial Saints Row games, one of the best characters from the license is still one of the most stereotypical. Also, that's right, he just happens to be voiced by Keith David. An authoritative tone is perhaps the most appealing aspect of David's voice, and it's out in full force here as Julius Little, the original founder and leader of the Third Street Saints. In the first game, there's more of an obvious quality to the dialog he's handed, but it's in the second entry in the series that the character really starts coming into his own. Admonishing the direction his beloved Saints have taken, David adds such presence to the plight of Julius Little. In amongst all the madcap antics, the senseless killing and the profanity, the original leader of the gang is one of the more intriguing people in the games, and it's all down to that voice acting.
