Jennifer Hale Reveals Shockingly Low Pay for Metal Gear Solid Role
Voice actress Jennifer Hale revealed that she was paid $1,200 for her role as Naomi Hunter in the original Metal Gear Solid game, despite the game's massive success and estimated profits of $176 million. Hale expressed her desire for video game voice actors to receive residuals and called for a change in the standard payment structure. Her comments come in the midst of negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild and video game companies, with the possibility of a strike looming. Metal Gear Solid will be re-released as part of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1 on October 24.
