Call of Duty Characters Who Don't Look So Badass In Real Life... 3. Col. Polonsky
Who? Well, in World At War, Polonsky was one of the Marines who fought with you. Anyway… remember that bit where you have to quickly save Sgt. Roebuck from the Imperial Guard? Well, if you manage to save Roebuck, it’s poor Polonsky who gets pwned by the grenade instead. Yeah, he’s that guy. So a Marine who fights with you all over the Pacific is a badass either way, but what about his voice actor?
Polonsky has the scar on the nose, the chiseled war torn appearance and generally looks like he could rip Chewbaccas limbs off. Aaron Stanford on the other hand has to provide his voiceover work on his school breaks. It’s not just a bad photo making him seem to be weedy either. Google him, and you’ll find he looks worse. This is a masculine picture of him, which must make voice actors like Craig Fairbrass (Gaz from MW1, Ghost from MW2) sick to their massively ripped stomachs.
Oh, Stanford.. I mean.. Hell.. That's kind of unfair--first, that picture's from 2004, right after the kid played a 19 year old.. And second, I mean.. Stanford can actually pull of bad ass.. In character.
Also.. Judging them hard for not recognizing the awesomeness that is Gary Oldman.. WTF?
