The Real Marcus Fenix - The face behind the voice

Interview with John DiMaggio from the bonus content disc from gears of war 2

[@SlightlyShinobi]

DiMaggio has a hell of a range these days. I thought he was pretty good as Joker in Under the Red Hood. Hard to measure up to Mark Hammil there, but he was good in his own way.

[@Coach_Shiner]

And he was Jake in Adventure Time too, and the Scotsman in Samurai Jack

[@jbreee]

I wish he did the entire interveiw in Marcus's voice...

[@coreylineberry8557]

It's probably tough on his throat.

[@RTSEmir]

​@@coreylineberry8557 But he said he can speak like that all day

[@eltonarriaga3903]

Little did he know that he would be a voice actor for one of the most greatest characters in a cartoon history.

[@Ntrinzc]

Futurama came out 7 years before gears

[@FinnZeeY]

@@Ntrinzc i think he meant adventure time

[@LovleyLemonade]

@Finn There are two types of people in this world.

[@dances_with_myself9305]

You sharpshooting me Goodpudding?

[@abraxas9340]

Adventure time was for weird booger eating band kids. Shit sucked ass

[@SuperToother]

john dimaggio is so damn awesome. great voice actor. perfect voice for marcus

[@DayzOfOurLolz]

This man is the voice behind Jake The Dog, Bender Bending Rodriguez AND Marcus Fenix!!!! MY FUCKING HERO!!!!

[@jmwFILMS]

Some times when Marcus talks in game, he reminds me of Keifer Sutherland (Actor on 24).

[@GoDLiKe211]

Kiefer*

[@jmwFILMS]

@@GoDLiKe211 wow another ancient comment

[@GoDLiKe211]

@@jmwFILMS fell down the rabbit hole 🤷‍♂️

[@DigitalViscosity]

I dunno, Kiefer sutherland is the only actor that seems like he's always out of breath.

[@sebastianalhares]

@@DigitalViscosityWell in 24 that was his default state.

[@gman3440]

"Lets go find Carmine" OH GOD HE'S DEAD

[@adriansanchez1969]

No, Carmine was still alive during that time. Yeah he died later , but not at the time

[@tuaboy0255]

Lmao imagine if epic casted a light voiced guy for marcus

[@FIDEL_CASHFLOW_]

Like they did for Seymour and final fantasy X 😂

[@samuelcowdrey2806]

Stop please 😂😂😂

[@TheCoolProfessor]

What an amazing transformation from the voice of Fenix to just plain John.

[@KV-2-i6y]

Marcus Fenix is my favorite character from the games. Hello from Russia 2020.

[@fyrestone9894]

Gears of War wouldn’t be the same without this Voice. The original voice was NOTHING like the voice John gave Marcus

[@vincent834]

How the hell does this guy do Marcus AND Bender? That's some serious talent right there.

[@matthew108]

He is my favorite character And Also my favorite voices of John DiMaggio is Marcus Fenix, Bender, Aquaman and Scottmen from Samurai Jack

[@Bleofuse]

Most badass voice in video game history.

[@SuperToother]

also can you seriously imagine what the studio must have been like when he had to read "THEYRE SINKING CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM!!"

[@8080pop]

1:20 WTF WHERE DID MARCUS COME FROM!?!?!

[@jbear83]

If I could sound like Marcus I’d never use my real voice again

[@LordOfShadows0]

Same here marcus has been my hero for life since i started playing gears

[@sasquatchfeeder]

he can take care of my business with that tone!!

[@cataxenic]

such a cool ass game and an even cooler voice actor 😎 also “let’s go find carmine”….😢

[@Kirivera]

"Nothin' but bits!"

[@heroes91092]

You did a great job man. Love Gears of War! Best game ever made in my opinion

[@joshhernandez568]

Do not underestimate this man. John gave us bender and Jake and Marcus Phoenix amongst many others.

[@J3rrB34r]

John DiMaggio. Best voice actor ever.

[@o5hjtTheNinja]

The ending = amazing.

[@Animanimate]

His voice is ALGEBRAIC!

[@XenoLife]

Aaaah 2008 ! Good old time

[@sarge2402]

Someone give this guy a fucking medal. He is the best 5*****'s

[@Leukhendian]

Gotta love that he wore a hat and shaved his beard to look like him, though, even though he was just recording the voice. xD

[@WanderTheNomad]

I was surprised by his range of voices, but he also has a wide range of looks

[@shadava]

These are great but I wish they were longer. He's a great voice actor though. I didn't know he did Jake!

[@ragzilbragzilb6603]

We need more Gears hoping for the 5th installment :D

[@xJawsQuickScoper]

Ragzilb Ragzilb you got it :)

[@deadblxxd6066]

its trash

[@funkyreapercat5280]

It's great!

[@iceybundles]

@@funkyreapercat5280 it’s ass and im a die hard gears fan. Extremely dissatisfied with the release

[@MichaelAngeloOjeda31]

@@iceybundles yea anything after GOW 3 is trash.

[@hellrazor117]

if i could make the marcus voice i would talk like that every day

[@ashjonah32]

It says in gears 3 why he went to prision. He abandoned his mission on E-Day to save his father and they lost the battle because of it.

[@SuperVasco117]

Let's not forget, he also plays Jake from Adventure Time! :D (Besides Bender, Marcus Fenix, Ice Clops, and many on the new Batman series)

[@dances_with_myself9305]

And Hoss. Hoss Delgado.

[@hitman3106]

John DiMaggio is god of voice acting. Hes a war veteran. A drunk robot. A rock monster. A strechy dog. Joker. Hell, Is this man not god of voice acting?

[@sarahardy218forever]

He is awesome....and cute..

[@Delusionul]

I wanna hear him say "What?! what are they selling?"

[@RealMasterChief117]

I met this guy in real life! He signed my GoW2!

[@ThatEagleMan]

when i heard the annotation i thought it was my xbox

[@Warf3reHD]

hes sound kinda different in gears 3

[@saint_alucardwarthunder759]

Holy shit, it's been 12 years already...

[@FFIIInerd]

1:22 "Right here, ya know, BOOM!, takin' care of business" lol

[@ItsChapin]

SWEET! NICE!! CAN'T DO THAT YET!!

[@MrLuis2007]

very nice

[@curbgrinder111]

Marcus Fenix is the guy you give the generic badass voice to and it's not corny

[@chrisbowlesy]

i remember the level he was acting out at the start!!! gears of war 2, when they go into that high tech place.

[@Turok9702]

man,. he looks way different when i saw him at the microsoft launch!

[@goblin505]

this guy voices so many people you should look it up, you'll be surprised

[@Gab3769]

He also did the Joker ( in Batman Under the Red Hood )

[@c69garcia]

marcus fenix is a badass

[@dahuntadoubleaacrank]

The book series shows so much that the games dont explain

[@deftones199452]

Also jake from adventure time

[@epicduckeh6]

shit I just realized the voice of Marcus is the voice of bender and Jake the dog, man staring in a game series, tv show, and what ever Jake the dog is! Lucky guy

[@FilthyTurnip]

i think sometimes it ruins the feeling when you find out who actually does the voices

[@givdc8424]

Crazy we almost got Steve Blum as Marcus for gears 1

[@JamesLikesJam]

On a tropical island, on a tropical island.

[@Alepsis230796]

" Demon dr angelz is online" WTF!!

[@mobshooter]

Jake the dog, bender, marcus fenix, and a shit load others. i looked this guy up. this guy is heavily involved in many things i had no idea about.

[@ninjanunch2769]

Voice of my Xbox teen years

[@Nostalgic_95]

That last bit 👌

[@SeantheRock]

after hearing Marcus Fenix saying "God Damn Son of a Bitch!" I can't watch adventure time without thinking about Jake the dog swearing up a storm.

[@mtows5308]

Your the best i love your voice its kick ass your pretty awesome

[@jkdoorbinnia]

@cmedi2 instead of leading a battle in the front lines, he disobeyed that order to try and save his father. In the end they lost the battle he was supposed to lead, and even worse he didnt even save his father.

[@TheMultiForge]

he also voices the hand in the modern Vampire Hunter D anime movie

[@GeoAl09]

thumbs up if you get so suprised when you find out who did the voice to a character. you always have a picture in mind and it never is lol.

[@MrRababadam]

i don't know why but whenever Marcus talks I think of Eeyor talking

[@TheN7Spartan]

Lol an Xbox notification went off

[@gabrielbartley8515]

He's on adventure time

[@Nuparunewtoa]

believe it or not but John Dimaggio is the voice of Jake the Dog from the show Adventure Time and Bender from Futurama

[@IxChestyLaRuexI]

I FUCKING WANT THAT VOICE

[@MotorHead333]

Oh now I can see who came up with the beany looking thing on Marcus's head

[@bundoranboy1]

this guy should play marcus in the movie too he looks the part as well :D

[@eldrasill]

He's also the smuggler from the Old Republic opening cinematic.

[@TheShifty360]

@richiehernandez59 Oh well *SPOILERS* I'm pretty sure that the queen of the locust kidnapped him because she wanted him to build a machine to kill the lambent. And I don't think he hated his dad, he was just sad that he always put his research before Marcus.

[@MegaKiddyLand]

Finn: Hey Jake isn't that your voice. Marcus Jake Bender: what? lol

[@DayzOfOurLolz]

@LordVanitas bout as serious as it gets bro

[@ALLThingsOfEpicness]

This guy does the voice of Marcus Fenix? "NOW IM PISSED!!"

[@123trob]

Voice of bender and also jake from adventure time. What a Bad ass.

[@JermaineHenry888]

I was expecting something else..

[@yebutmynameiskyle]

cant remember the guys name from bulletstorm he does him too. or did you mention him

[@isaiahheath7922]

If only we knew how truly bad it was going to get…

[@Whatever209804]

Hey, say "Nice!"

[@Animanimate]

@iHsg16 This isn't him, though. This isn't his channel, if he even has one. C'mon, dude.

[@SaiyanPirat]

Bless you. O.o

[@FinalMaggot01]

And he plays Dr. Drakken and Motor Ed in Kim Possible, and Rico in The Penguins of Madagascar and The Juggernaut x men

[@AquaGiant]

@Nuparunewtoa he's also done way more than that. he still does tv shows for children. just look him up on wikipedia.

[@xMTxcameron]

@TheCommenter71 You mean he voices Bender from Futurama?

[@Frostzones479]

thts jake from adventure time

[@0nintendofan0]

@MetalGearNerd they both have badass voices

[@uncleblaine1433]

I remember used to download videos from the Xbox 360 store

[@FNM312]

marcus dsnt look like marcus but the cole train does haha

[@kool3nbo3r]

Good thing Demon Dr Angelz was online

[@mesuirchief]

At the end i was like "HOLY SHIT"!

Marcus Fenix has a great voice but me myself think David Hayter's Solid Snake beats him hands down what about you guys. What do you think on this matter. I wanna know your opinion on this. But to you hardcore Marcus fans out there please don't come and throw trash at Snake if you are gonna say something. These two characters has the most badass main voices in any action adventure game to date in my opinion

[@redquoter]

FINN, REVIVE ME

[@DonDeLem]

Never admit that online O_O

[@jadenzombieslayer1569]

In the beta your not actor of marcus fenix voice someone else is

[@Kaboomboo]

John DiMaggio kind of let himself go since he filmed this.... He's so hot here though.

[@XrisD147]

Huh! a Gorgon! CHEEESE IT!!!
