It’s crazy to hear how it was actually Lance’s role originally, it makes a lot of sense, but David really made Warlin Door his own and he created something beautiful out of it. Can’t wait to see what this incredible man does next
Yaa he was supposed to. There was an image leaked that showed him called as Mr Door. Its unfortunate but I'm glad that David did everything he could to make it his own
He freaking nailed lance’s style on the final scene. And you can tell he had a great time playing the character honestly I can’t wait to see what remedy will do with his character next.
I think indirectly it will be connected since its not Remedy's IP. It's still owned by microsoft. Similar to what Remedy did with Alex Casey in Alan Wake 2.
Hearing that he's not only a gamer but actively loves Remedy who are such a niche studio, what a match made in heaven. Can't wait to see David in their future projects.
The best compliment I can give an actor is that I didn't once feel that he was "acting". He belongs in that universe just like Sam Lake does. I'm convinced that if I ever end up in some otherworldly space, David Harewood will be there with his eerie positivity and impeccable good taste in clothes.
My immersion was broken at some points because he's doing an accent lol. When he says 'awkward' at one point it comes out as 'orkward' with the American accent, instead of 'ahkward' which is a common occurrence when Brits are putting on American accents. Love him though he did a great job
So he is living the real multiverse experience, he met Max Payne as Sam Lake, he met Alan Wake as Ilkka Villi, maybe in the future he will meet Jesse Faden directly but as Courtney in our universe. This is so crazy 🤣 AMAZING INTERVIEW!!!
The fact that he doesn't sing, but the whole musical part worked so well proves again and again that when you get people excited about producing something, this energy translate really well into final product.
i got all defensive reading this like man what do they mean "old", he's probably around my age... but just to be sure i looked it up... how is he 58?! would not have guessed! not that i think that's particularly old either, but i hope to age half as gracefully
After finishing it, I can say I certainly did! His memory of the scene from Max Payne 1 resonates hard, the baby cries will haunt me forever lol. Wonderful interview with a wonderful man
David Harewood is an instant classic of the Remedy games. I can’t wait to see what’s in store with Mr. Door and Harewood’s performance. Him not doing these sorts of things often but does 1 for Alan Wake 2/ Remedy means he’s the real deal and apart of this fantastic cast!
It's amazing to see that David was already a fan of Remedy's games and Sam's writing. I can even see the admiration and love in his voice talking about all that. And having CRUSHED his performance as Door, i hope to see more of him in the Night Springs and Lake House expansions
This was a fabtastic interview, man! David was brilliant as Mr.Door. I truly loved the switch from jovial talk show host to menancing, mystery man. I replay that clip from the Masks chapter, often. The dark and threatening vibes that ooze off of Mr.Door in that scene, give me goosebumps. So excited to see him again in the Night Springs DLC, and hopefully future Remedy projects! I'm almost certain we will be seeing much more of Mr.Door in the future, and I am all for it!
Yaa I'm all for it as well. And like you, I also watch that scene from time to time. Its just so good and I remember the lines "You keep opening doors, peeking in". Idk why but its my fav.
So this was Harewood's Henry Cavill moment? No wonder he did such a good job. He is a phenomenal actor as well, don't get me wrong, but the passion for the project is the secret ingredient.
Absolutely the best part of Alan Wake 2 was Harewood's performance. I would have never thought someone could have matched the incredible work of Lance Reddick, but Harewood nailed it. Great interview you got a new Sub.
Remedy has such a magic touch with their characters. I was a teen when I played OG Max Payne back in the day. Fast forward to AW2, I had watched many seasons of Homeland TV series and that's the extend I had met Harewood before. I was so very surprised by his appearance in the game, but then quickly not surprised at all by the quality of the writing and performance. I struggle to find other games with such a huge impact from their characters' performances in the overall experience, but AW2 is surely amongst the best. Great interview :)
Thank you so much for watching this. I've been a fan of David before the game as well and its so cool to see him not only be a part of this game in such a fashion but also him being such a fan of video games
I just wanted to say that you are an amazing interviewer.. You ask really good questions and really go into the interviews with knowledge and skills that rival most Hollywood interviewers.. Keep up the fantastic work, Abhi.. I love your content! :)
WOW you are too kind. I'm not sure if I'm rivaling anyone but I'm glad that you think that way. I always try my best to have the best conversations possible and I've learned from the best.
At first I was coming to see David as an actor, but the moment I found out that he has played basically all Remedy games, he has become just another one of us (fans) and someone I envy/hate for that luck X_D. Seriously now, I'm always so glad as a Max Payne and Remedy (and Sam Lake) fan when another fan gets to know a little more first hand.
You could feel his passion through the character, absolutely gushing to hear he played all the games and is a big fan. David had big shoes to fill but made it totally his own. Can't wait for Alan Wake 3? Addition: More Warlin Door in the DLC? hyped!
Great to hear from him! Thanks for giving us the opportunity. Crazy to hear he never sang before, I think I read he was in Theater just thought he had the experience from that but he should definitely delve more into his voice for future work! I was putting off the fan theories that Lance Reddick was originally Door but now his comments pretty much confirm that, what boggles my mind is that Lance died in March 2023 which means they would've filmed the live action scene 6 months before release, that's crazy tight! Now with James McCaffrey gone, I can't imagine how everyone at Remedy is feeling.
Yaa its a tough time for Remedy as well as for all of us. We lost 2 very important people. I don't know if that's tight schedule because I remember Ilkka said that they filmed the musical part in 2 days and David here says that he filmed everything within a week. So they didn't take much time
Amazing interview! Davis Harewood's performance as Door perfect. Its crazy to think his casting was last minute and that he shot all of his scenes in just a few days. Its a testament to him and everyone else involved that the end result was as brilliant as it was. Thank you for speaking to him and sharing this with us!
Thank you so very much for watching. It is amazing to think that he was able to finish in 4 days with Ilkka and the team. As he said, he believes that the team was surprised by how quick everything happened.
I truly loved David Harewood's performance in AW2 and I'm even more happy to hear that he's such a fan of Remedy too! Can't wait to see what projects he gets involved with in the future. Also, great interview. Love how you let him talk and make the conversation flow so naturally.
I love listening to your interviews with people, they're so interesting to watch! David is so sweet too and it's awesome to hear how excited he was when he realised it was Remedy. Hehe! He did amazing work in Alan Wake 2! ❤
A fantastic interview. Learned quite a bit and am glad to see that David and Remedy were a match made in heaven even before Alan Wake 2. He brought so much to the game as one of its stalwart characters, enigmatic, charming and menacing.
Excellent!! Love to see how excited he is about the character and spit all the beans about what is coming. Yes. Saga's father and Hatch. Hope we will see on Control 2. I think he was avoiding talking about Control/Jesse and just followed up what you said.
@@BehindTheVoicePod yeah. He said it. But, I got the impression that he knew something about Jesse and Door and of course Door and Breaker. I am glad he talks about shifters and him replacing Lance ...so without saying it he confirms that Door is Hatch
Great interview! It was interesting to hear David Harewood's perspective on the controlled chaos of the Remedy universe. Although, I can't agree that "We Sing" beats the Ashtray Maze. Each sequence serves a different purpose. Ashtray Maze made you feel like you were powerful in a world of the unknown. Whatever was thrown at you, it would be defeated. "We Sing" seems to be reminding Alan of his journey (also the player) while instilling that he should not give up; he can beat the darkness. To say one is better than the other is an unnecessary comment.
I don't think its an unnecessary comment. Its just what he believes in, doesn't make it unnecessary. There will be people who will like We Sing more than the Maze. What David is saying isn't fact but just personal opinion.
@GaminMadness That is a fair point. It seems to me he worded his comment too strongly for an opinion, but no one is perfect. I hold the Ashtray Maze sequence in high regard. It's my favorite throughout any game I've played. The feeling of kicking ass while the Old Gods of Asgard provided the soundtrack was amazing. I just liked the strong focus on combat in Control. We Sing is definitely a close second, though.
Great interview! I'm so glad how much space you gave to David. I came to this as an Alan Wake fanboy, but I was absolutely captivated by the things David talked about. He seems such an intelligent, kind and well versed person. Italian neorealism, count me in! And he fucking SMASHED it as Warlin Door! What a performance!
Very nice talk, congrats on managing to get him onboard! Loved him since Supergirl and I'm glad to see he's such a humble and dedicated person. Questions and answers were interesting, you kept a good balance between them and the chat was very enjoyable. Well done and greetings from Italy, wish I could've met him when he was here... D:
Thank you so much for watching! I've been a fan of him since Supergirl too and its so amazing to see him in this game. I'm so glad you liked this episode.
Great interview, thank you, David is such a lovely man, basically just a fan of games like us, living the dream and sharing all that positive energy. I really look forward to see him again in the Remedy Universe.
Its nice to get confirmation it was gonna be lance. 😊 Just wanted to add I never played Quantum Break, so David is my first intro to Door/Hatch. But honestly they both play them amazingly
Found him through Supergirl. The show was that great but it had its moments. He was definitely one of the shining beacons of that show. Along with the lead actress.
I am so excited to see this, I was just looking up to see if he interviewed about this just last week and was disappointed to learn he hadn't really done so yet, thank you for this.
@@BehindTheVoicePod Aawww, you're welcome! I read the comments understandably praising the cast and the game, but watching these interviews wouldn't be half as enjoyable if it weren't for how you conduct them. And someone had to tell you! Great job!
max payne is the game of my childhood, I remember playing in on my old ass samsung laptop with a celeron cpu and integrated graphics, so many fucking memories
@@BehindTheVoicePod You know, if you asked him to come for an interview about his experience as an actor in the game, that might pique his interest and I'm pretty sure it would make for a fun interview as well.
one thing that struck out to me during the interview is despite that the game got announced years before they reached out to Mr. Harewood for the role but didn’t tell him anything besides who he’s going to replace. I wish there was more transparency for such jobs and NDAs do exist
I don't think that he was reached out years ago. And he knows who he was going to replace, he just didn't to name him because he thinks that inappropriate to his family. The shooting for live action stuff must have happened after Lance's passing and that's why he got contacted.
@@BehindTheVoicePodI’m not talking about the cast or the role but rather the fact they told him who he’s going to replace but not the project he’s working on! sorry if it was confusing
@@soulx511 oh understood. My bad. That's just how video games with unfortunately. It isn't disclosed until they start working on it or get their first call with the director of the game
18:19 Now that you mentioned COD, I remember his character, he played Ssgt Omar in Infinite Warfare's campaign. I also played later BF3's campaign where I saw his character from that game. How I could not tell?
After playing Alan Wake 2 - David Harewood is the single greatest candidate around to step in for the late great Lance Reddick and take over the role of Sylens in Horizon 3. Sylens is simply to important a character to kill off offscreen and Lance's legacy could best be served for continuing the amazing character he brought to life's story arc to a fitting conclusion.
I will say that David did an incredible job to do the role of Warlin Door. I'm not sure if he will be playing Sylens but that's a decision for Guerilla games in the end.
Nice podcast. I've seen these actors in a few things but never heard them speak casually before. I still think of David Harewood as David Estes from Homeland because thats the first thing I saw him in lol
This man is a gamer. I got halfway through control and couldnt beat the mailroom boss. The game doesnt have a difficulty option, so i was just literally not good enough to get past that part and finish the game :(
I think the first game I saw Harewood in was CoD Infinite Warfare, funnily enough. Say what you will about CoD but that's a pretty solid campaign with a good set of characters, and he's probably the best one.
No one can replace Lance Reddick, but David Harewood definitely made Hatch / Door his own. Superb work. Hopefully, Keith David can do something similar.
@@BehindTheVoicePod Yes, you’re correct Quantum Break had full on 30 minute episodes. I personally loved Quantum Break’s style but I had a friend who disliked how detached the episodes felt from the game. So now with Alan Wake 2 having long live action cutscenes hopefully that’ll help the people that disliked QB’s style.
It’s crazy to hear how it was actually Lance’s role originally, it makes a lot of sense, but David really made Warlin Door his own and he created something beautiful out of it. Can’t wait to see what this incredible man does next
Yaa he was supposed to. There was an image leaked that showed him called as Mr Door. Its unfortunate but I'm glad that David did everything he could to make it his own
He freaking nailed lance’s style on the final scene. And you can tell he had a great time playing the character honestly I can’t wait to see what remedy will do with his character next.
So it makes Quantum Break _also_ connected with Remedy Connected Universe.
@@yutro213We still have Tom Breaker in there as well
I think indirectly it will be connected since its not Remedy's IP. It's still owned by microsoft. Similar to what Remedy did with Alex Casey in Alan Wake 2.
It's amazing to learn that he's a Remedy fan from the first Max Payne, this game really is a star-aligned kind of project
Ya right? I just couldn't stop smiling every since he said that
Learning that David was a fan of Remedy before he got cast just warms my heart.
Same for me. I was just smiling the entire time
@@BehindTheVoicePod Thanks for the interview, I’m only halfway through but I am loving it !
I hope you enjoy it till the end
@@BehindTheVoicePod i did ! Thanks for the itw !
Hearing that he's not only a gamer but actively loves Remedy who are such a niche studio, what a match made in heaven. Can't wait to see David in their future projects.

hahaha that is crazy! Thank you so much for watching
The fact that he doesn't sing, but the whole musical part worked so well proves again and again that when you get people excited about producing something, this energy translate really well into final product.
Absolutely agree
This man is awesome. He's old gamer and still love games. When i saw him in AlanWake2, i felt his passion in this piece of art.
Isn't it incredible that he still plays games. Amazing
i got all defensive reading this like man what do they mean "old", he's probably around my age... but just to be sure i looked it up... how is he 58?! would not have guessed! not that i think that's particularly old either, but i hope to age half as gracefully
@@Yoarashi58??? Daaamn! He’s looking amazing for 58!
He KILLED IT as Warlin Door truly…I’m not done with the game yet, but he absolutely murdered it it’s the perfect role for him.
Yaa he has done such a fabulous job there
It is so sad Lance passed. David did such an amazing job, instant favorite for me.
Remedy not only nails games... the castings are almost always amazing! David was awesome!
Right? Its so awesome what Remedy can do
Imagine playing Alan Wake and loving it soo much; than, years later coming across a show called TWIN PEAKS by chance... That was me!!!
You never know, maybe because of Alan Wake, Twin Peaks gets sort of remade
Alan Wake 2 and the third season of Twin Peaks share so many similarities that it's almost humorous. Fortunately, it works due to Sam's writing.
The hype is real, first video ive legit waited for in a long time
Well I really hope you enjoy it!
After finishing it, I can say I certainly did! His memory of the scene from Max Payne 1 resonates hard, the baby cries will haunt me forever lol. Wonderful interview with a wonderful man
brooooo the hype was real . one of the best episode yet ...
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that
David Harewood is an instant classic of the Remedy games. I can’t wait to see what’s in store with Mr. Door and Harewood’s performance.
Him not doing these sorts of things often but does 1 for Alan Wake 2/ Remedy means he’s the real deal and apart of this fantastic cast!
Yea and I'm so fortunate that he gave me that opportunity to do so
Wow Im really surprised how much he knows about games. Most tv/film actors just do the job and dont even wanna be associated with games
Yaa and its amazing how much he loves these games!
It's amazing to see that David was already a fan of Remedy's games and Sam's writing. I can even see the admiration and love in his voice talking about all that. And having CRUSHED his performance as Door, i hope to see more of him in the Night Springs and Lake House expansions
Pretty sure there is more of him
@@BehindTheVoicePod Can't wait to see it!!
Remedy really knows how to pick the right actors! ❤️ A perfect replacement for Lance and a humble man 😊

I guess you can say that
Quantum Break was my gateway to the rest of the Remedy games. And man I’m really happy I played Quantum Break.
I still need to play it someday
@@BehindTheVoicePod Oh yes! You won’t be disappointed with it.
And I just realized my typos in the last comment oops.
"David has no recollection of the dance video", Alan's writing is affecting him.
hahaha I can see that
Absolutely the best part of Alan Wake 2 was Harewood's performance. I would have never thought someone could have matched the incredible work of Lance Reddick, but Harewood nailed it. Great interview you got a new Sub.
Thank you so much Penelope, I appreciate it. Yaa he is incredible and added his own style to it. He's such a great actor

Oh yeaa! That moment was really something special
Such an amazing and fun guy! He really fits well into the Remedy-Verse!
He is absolutely lovely and even amazing that he's a fan of Remedy as well
Such a huge fan of the game and all the actors! Go you David! Such a great performance!!!

Thank you so much for watching this. His performance was extraordinary and somehow I remember some of the lines as well.
Man I love these interviews, even the ones for games I haven’t played are such interesting listening
that means a lot, thank you!
Truly the only interview I have watched till the end. David is sooo cool.
David is amazing! Thank you so much for watching this
Another good interview! Davids performance in AW2 was great and seeing him go crazy with Matt at the game awards was so much fun. Keep it up!
Thank you so much and yes it was soo cool to see both of them sing
Very nice talk, congrats on managing to get him onboard! Loved him since Supergirl and I'm glad to see he's such a humble and dedicated person.

Dude came in with the Vanquish shout...he's a real one
He's the real gamer
Great interview, thank you, David is such a lovely man, basically just a fan of games like us, living the dream and sharing all that positive energy. I really look forward to see him again in the Remedy Universe.
Thank you so much for watching this. He's an incredible human being. He's definitely gonna be in the DLC.
what a lovely gentleman he is
He is amazing!
Its nice to get confirmation it was gonna be lance. 😊 Just wanted to add I never played Quantum Break, so David is my first intro to Door/Hatch. But honestly they both play them amazingly
Yaa same here. I didn't play Quantum Break but I know how good Lance was.
Found him through Supergirl. The show was that great but it had its moments. He was definitely one of the shining beacons of that show. Along with the lead actress.
Absoltuely! Him and Melissa did a fantastic job in that show and I would say everyone else also did the same
Fantastic actor,unbelievable range, i still remember him from blood diamond and from cod infinite warfare.
Ohh yaa in Blood Diamond he was INSANE!
Such a good talk, love to see the people involved being geeks about the IPs they work with
Yaa its the best and I just smile when I hear about it
What an incredible cast the voice acting was incredible the writing blew me away and the game was such an amazing experience
Absolutely! And in this case it was all acting and not voice acting since David did all the scenes as any movie or show would do.
oh Boy.. Will Sam Lake ever get interviewed here? This was amazing!! loved it
Thank you so much! I would love to have Sam here if its possible and if he's interested.
I am so excited to see this, I was just looking up to see if he interviewed about this just last week and was disappointed to learn he hadn't really done so yet, thank you for this.

@@BehindTheVoicePod You know, if you asked him to come for an interview about his experience as an actor in the game, that might pique his interest and I'm pretty sure it would make for a fun interview as well.
Yaa absolutely , its just hard to reach out to him.
So cool Max Payne 1 is one of his fav games and is a Remedy fan. To be a fan and be cast for the game is amazing. Such a good interview!
Yaa it is incredible that he's a fan and got to be in the game. Thank you so much for watching
i surely hope that we will see David more in remedyverse, doesn't matter if Door or another character.
Me too!!
He is awesome actor and very nice person.
Next you gotta interview Ahti, complete the collection.
hahaha would love to see what's possible
Fantastic interview, really enjoying the channel. May the algorithms gods be with you
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
As a Canadian who went to school for radio, I'm absolutely seeing that film
I do hope you enjoy it.
Wonderful interview! I too really love that last scene where Door shows his true colors - really hope we get to see more of Mr Door in the futute! ❤
Absolutely! That scene was intense
**SPOILERS**

I love that both Saga and her "father" are played by British people putting on an American accent.
hahaha that's true
Loved this interview. Well done
Thank you so very much brother
Well that was incredible wholesome. A great interview.
Thank you so very much!
Guy puts on a really convincing English accent for an American. Must be for that film in Toronto he's doing.
What are you talking about? Dude was born in Birmingham. Or was this a joke about Warlin Door.
@@thefourthnorseman
Yeah, it's a joke, squire.
very experienced actor and humble man
Absolutely!
Waiting in spiral, perkele
David was so, so good. And it's awesome that he was a fan, too.
But ah man, I would've loved to have seen Lance do the dance 😂
Ya it would've been incredible for sure
one thing that struck out to me during the interview is despite that the game got announced years before they reached out to Mr. Harewood for the role but didn’t tell him anything besides who he’s going to replace.
I wish there was more transparency for such jobs and NDAs do exist
I don't think that he was reached out years ago. And he knows who he was going to replace, he just didn't to name him because he thinks that inappropriate to his family. The shooting for live action stuff must have happened after Lance's passing and that's why he got contacted.
@@BehindTheVoicePodI’m not talking about the cast or the role but rather the fact they told him who he’s going to replace but not the project he’s working on!
sorry if it was confusing
@@soulx511 oh understood. My bad.
That's just how video games with unfortunately. It isn't disclosed until they start working on it or get their first call with the director of the game
Man I’d love to see you talk to Christina Cole about playing Alice, she’s the best performance in the game if you ask me lol
Yeah she's very underrated and the key to making Alan's story work
Absolutely! I have reached out and fingers crossed, maybe she would be interested.
Thank you for yet another super interesting interview 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching!!
These are great thanks ! Will we also see a Saga Anderson interview ? Also does anyone know why she is not in the music video ?
The music video was about Alan Wake and not Saga Anderson. I do hope I can talk to her
Such a great casting decision, he is mr door
Absolutely!
18:19 Now that you mentioned COD, I remember his character, he played Ssgt Omar in Infinite Warfare's campaign. I also played later BF3's campaign where I saw his character from that game. How I could not tell?
Yaa David has played some interesting characters in games
After playing Alan Wake 2 - David Harewood is the single greatest candidate around to step in for the late great Lance Reddick and take over the role of Sylens in Horizon 3.
Sylens is simply to important a character to kill off offscreen and Lance's legacy could best be served for continuing the amazing character he brought to life's story arc to a fitting conclusion.
I will say that David did an incredible job to do the role of Warlin Door. I'm not sure if he will be playing Sylens but that's a decision for Guerilla games in the end.
Nice podcast. I've seen these actors in a few things but never heard them speak casually before. I still think of David Harewood as David Estes from Homeland because thats the first thing I saw him in lol
Thank you so much for watching.
1.8k upvotes, zero downvotes
That's a pretty good interview
Well there are 3 downvotes but who cares
@GaminMadness Ah must be Mulligan, Thornton and Nightingale.
Great talk and good questions 👏
Thank you so very much for watching!
Finding this channel 4 videos ago i really find it interesting how this channel's topic is sorta niche
Well I appreciate it
What a good guy. Capped off with a shout out to Vanquish?! Come on, take a bow sir 👏👏👏😂
Oh yaa Vanquish was such an awesome game and I love that he mentioned that
This man is a gamer. I got halfway through control and couldnt beat the mailroom boss. The game doesnt have a difficulty option, so i was just literally not good enough to get past that part and finish the game :(
That's fine! I know you can get it
Hide behind the mail pipe walls
There are things you can change in settings to make the game easier!
I think the first game I saw Harewood in was CoD Infinite Warfare, funnily enough. Say what you will about CoD but that's a pretty solid campaign with a good set of characters, and he's probably the best one.
I never played Infinite Warfare but I have seen some stuiff here and there
Eu estava ansiosa por esta entrevista! Sou fã do misterioso Mr Door, e também quando ele fez o Jon Jons, em Supergirl. 🎉❤
I've been a fan of his since Supergirl so its insane that I got to share some time with him.
Did he say dlc? Warlin Door was such a great character.
Yes he did say DLC
Yeah theres 2 DLCs coming
Got platinum. The game is amazing!
That is wonderful!!
No one can replace Lance Reddick, but David Harewood definitely made Hatch / Door his own. Superb work.
Hopefully, Keith David can do something similar.
Yaa I'm so glad that David was able to make a unique Door
I love Harewood in this role, but its really sad we couldn't see Lance Reddick playing this
Its quite unfortunate that somethings happened the way it happened.
Alan Wake 2 did was Quantum Break did with long live action bits. But Alan Wake 2 made them more fluid with the gameplay.
Ya absolutely. They took the learnings from Quantum Break and that game had episodes of live action if I'm not mistaken
@@BehindTheVoicePod Yes, you’re correct Quantum Break had full on 30 minute episodes.
I personally loved Quantum Break’s style but I had a friend who disliked how detached the episodes felt from the game. So now with Alan Wake 2 having long live action cutscenes hopefully that’ll help the people that disliked QB’s style.
*11:37** Was he talking about Lance Reddick? They are look alike and both amazing actors.*
Yep, lance was mentioned in the credits as well as Jason Schreier confirming this
Yes he was talking about Lance.
