The gravelly bravado of Michael Ironside has been replaced with the sharper – but still intense – Eric Johnson (“Smallville”) for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Ubisoft confirmed today. The new stealth-action game has brought with it a lot of motion capture demands, necessitating the swap of 62-year old Ironside for 32-year old Johnson. Thankfully, Ubisoft looks to have committed fully to the age difference, putting Fisher himself through a bit of de-aging to reflect the change in VO talent.
