10 Best Lead Voice Acting Performances In Video Games

7. David Bateson - Agent 47 (Hitman)

Another early shoe-in for gaming's elite alongside Sam Fisher and Solid Snake, David Bateson's Agent 47 is like being targeted by a weaponised piece of silk.

His sultry, calculated, personable charms fit the chameleonic nature of 47 as a hitman, seeing him play every part from a waiter to a professional photographer; all in the pursuit of tracking a target or two.

With the latest Hitman being one of the most expansive, enjoyable and experimental of them all - alongside being annoyingly under-appreciated - Bateson got to ply his trade to even bigger worlds with even more potential roles to mix and match between.

Somewhere in amongst all those potential personalities is Agent 47 ringing true throughout; a bankable professional hitman that could never be played by anybody else.
