    I first recognized Peter Franzen playing "Harald Finehair" in "Vikings". He really stood out there for me. I was impressed seeing him playing theese sometimes funny, but also weird brothers in AW2.
    I hope, he will be recognized globally, because he is quite a charismatic guy.

      His role in a finnish movie "leijonasydän" or in english "heart of a lion" is his careers best role. I remember back in the day when i saw it it made me a instant fan of Peter.

      Knowing how remedy has a tendency to keep voice actors around... (Like seriously, they had James McCaffrey, Alan's actor, jack Joyce's actor etc all show up here like Sam lake was collecting them like Pokémon), I'm sure he would show up again and I hope he does!
      I'm pretty sure there was an interview of them all in the same room, think it was at comic con, when he (Sam Lake) was asked he kinda just said something along the lines of keeping them around

    I loved the clips of the actor cracking up while filming the Koskela advertisements in the Valentine's Day video. They were so funny, and looked so much fun to film, I'm glad the actor indeed had fun! "Screw the government, we have boltcutters" is one of my favourite lines in the game hahaha.

    • @SilverGeFer
      @SilverGeFer 2 месяца назад +2

      Yeah same. Funny enough, I actually noticed it’s easier for actors with very deep voices to play multiple characters and I think the reason for that is because most people don’t know what it’s like to have such a deep voice and the voice control something like that brings.
      You don’t ever think that of someone with a higher pitched voice since the average person knows how that works. I’m definitely thinking about Yuri Lowenthal when saying this. Every time I hear his voice in something, I just know it’s him without a doubt even if he sometimes does different voices and accents. There’s just something about very deep voices that makes them unique. Hard not to be jealous lol

    today i reached the part where "HERALD OF DARKNESS" song plays and that song filled me with hype so much. Half way through this game and i can understand why this game is psychological horror, story writing of remedy is on the point and creative director Sam Lake had done great work (as he is my fav childhood actor)

    Alan Wake 2 is such an amazing game in so many ways, but Koskela brothers were one of the highlights for me. Peter did such an incredible work with the characters, that they became instant legends in the Remedyverse. I really hope Remedy finds a way to bring these characters back somehow in their future projects. If nothing else, at least a small easter egg somewhere for the fans !

  • @TrueDiox
    @TrueDiox 10 дней назад

    I think it's a testament to the quality of his work that a lot of us never realized it was the same actor playing them both. Loved these characters and, after 13 years waiting, every minute of this game feels like a gift.

    In the game, it is impossible to pass by the TV with the Koskela brothers commercial, even if you have seen it several times. I always stopped and watched it to the end. It's a big part of the game's atmosphere. Very cool done! 🤘😵‍💫

    I really loved this, wonderful insight, and super succinct! Was such a joy watching the commercials and interacting with these characters, and that singular moment towards the end was super heartfelt. I believe Jaakko taught me the words "Finnish Sisu" which lead me down a rabbit hole I loved exploring in my own time

    I only realized they were not IRL twins because Jakko's beard looked weird so when I looked closer to confirm it was fake I realized they were the same guy. He did so well with their personalities that even when the voice is the same it's like 2 different people. I also like how this contrasts Alan and Casey having 2 actors for 1 character while this is 1 actor for 2 characters.
    Also loved the shout out to Puerto Rican coffee! 😁
