"He explained that among the "stacks of scripts" and a sizzle reel of the game that was sent his way, one scene in particular "just really resonated with me." "It's just these two characters sitting on top of a billboard, having a conversation, and I just, I just love the tone," he said. Paul then read the scripts and enjoyed them so much that he says he "couldn't stop.""
"Dispatch also features the voice of Oscar-nominated actor Jeffrey Wright, along with Laura Bailey and Matthew Mercer. Creative director Nick Herman told Game Informer that he and game director Dennis Lenart singled out Paul as their top choice to play the main character, Robert Robertson, but Herman admitted, "We never thought Aaron Paul would do this." However, Herman said casting director Linda Lamontagne had a feeling Paul would vibe with the script, and indeed he did."
Aaron Paul, 46, lends his voice to Dispatch, marking his first time working on a video game. He typically declines many offers but accepted after a specific billboard scene and a sizzle reel resonated strongly. Paul read the scripts obsessively and connected with the creators, calling the decision a "no-brainer." The game also features Jeffrey Wright, Laura Bailey, and Matthew Mercer. Creative director Nick Herman and game director Dennis Lenart had singled out Paul as their top choice, with casting director Linda Lamontagne sensing a fit. AdHoc Studio, composed of former Telltale developers, created the episodic adventure about a former superhero turned dispatcher. The game launches October 22 on PS5 and PC, with a free demo available on Steam.
