There were many issues with Cyberpunk 2077 when it released on December 10th. Players have experienced problems from annoying bugs and game-breaking glitches that have managed to make their gaming sessions less enjoyable.
Thankfully, the developers and directors over at CD Projekt Red know how to write an enticing story for players to get in to, making the many bugs within the game a little more bearable. However, a well-written story is only half the battle since every good script needs a group of talented voice actors to be successful.
Here are the amazing voice actors of Cyberpunk 2077.
Cherami Leigh – Female V
As you may already know, Cyberpunk 2077 allows players to create their own character when they first enter the game. You get to make choices about your backstory, character design, and of course, the gender of your character. The Female V is played by a talented actress by the name of Cherami Leigh who has a very diverse acting career. Leigh has starred as many popular anime characters from Sarada Uchiha (Boruto Next Generations), to Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tale).
Leigh has also voiced a large number of video game characters in games like Borderlands, Persona 5, and Nier: Automata, just to name a few. Her robust resume is apparent when you hear just how well she does as the Female V in her latest body of work.
Gavin Drea – Male V
Now for the voice that you are more familiar with because of the many Cyberpunk 2077 promotions and commercials that you may have come across. The Male V is voiced by an actor by the name of Gavin Drea. Gavin Drea also does an outstanding job as V in Cyberpunk 2077, but he is also known for his acting roles in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and The Alienist: Angel of Darkness.
Jason Hightower – Jackie Welles
One of my favorite supporting characters in the game, Jackie Welles a the kind of friend that everyone needs. Played by Jason Hightower, Welles is one of the very first characters that V gets to know during his/her escapades in Night City.
Jason Hightower has done some work as a voice actor as the auctioneer in the popular Disney movie Ralph Breaks The Internet and a few video games including Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 76, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Into the Wildlands.
Michael-Leon Wooley – Dexter “Dex” Deshawn
In Night City, you have people who are the middle men for high-end and dangerous jobs. These middle men are called fixers and they take a, dare I say it, small chunk of the money that clients will get for completing the job. One of the very first fixers you will come across (depending on your life choice) will be Dex, voiced by Michael-Leon Wooley.
Wooley is a talented voice actor who has played the lovable and clumsy alligator, Louis, in The Princess and the Frog. Wooley has also played Darkseid in Injustice 2. These are just a few of the many roles that Wooley starred in.
Keanu Reeves – Johnny Silverhand
When I first saw that Keanu Reeves was going to be a part of Cyberpunk 2077 I was both excited and confused. I was excited because Keanu Reeves never disappoints in the acting appearances that he makes. He has starred in many great films. Constantine and The Matrix franchise happen to be two of my all-time favorite movies.
However, I was confused because I didn’t know just how much he would be in the Cyberpunk. I was hoping that he wasn’t just there to be a part of CD Projekt Red’s marketing scheme. After playing about 10 hours of Cyberpunk so far, I can say that I’m happy with the results so far and I’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of what Johnny Silverhand has to offer.
