Who is Ballistic’s voice actor in Apex Legends?

Ballistic is a name that popped up in the Apex Legends community time and time again via leaks in the first quarter of 2023. Respawn finally confirmed the gunslinger was a new legend joining the roster in Season 17 on April 26 via a Stories from the Outlands episode on YouTube.

He was everything fans hoped for—a legend capable of holding a third weapon who can shoot projectiles that cause players’ guns to overheat and can buff teammates with faster reloads, faster movement, and infinite ammo (for a little while).

Ballistic is more than a nifty legend with incredible abilities. He’s a thrilling Apex character with a tragic backstory of being the first-ever celebrity champion who fell from grace after his cocky playstyle resulted in the death of his brother-in-law. After living in isolation to wallow in misery for years, he decided to return to battle as an old-timer to protect his son and redeem himself.

What makes his character even more compelling is how well the person who voices him has brought him to life. Here’s what you need to know about his voice actor.
