Master Chief Actor Steve Downes Hits Out at the White House for Use of His Voice in ‘Disgusting and Juvenile' Social Media Video - IGN
Steve Downes, the voice actor for Master Chief in the Halo series, has publicly demanded the White House remove his voice from a social media video he deemed "disgusting and juvenile war porn." Downes stated he did not consent to or endorse the video's message, which spliced his iconic line with war footage and clips from other media. This incident follows previous instances of the White House using popular intellectual property for social media content, including from Microsoft and The Pokémon Company.
