Lara Croft's New Voice Actress has FINALLY Been Revealed

Meet Camilla Luddington, the new voice of Lara Croft. In case you couldn't tell from her incredibly British name, Luddington is in fact English. Prior to today's announcement, much internet discussion was made that the at-the-time unnamed actress had a "bad fake English accent." Shows how much the internet knows, right? The 28-year-old Luddington is still a relative newbie to acting, mostly known for playing Kate Middleton in the Lifetime made-for-TV movie William & Kate and for being naked a lot in Californication (Google Image is your friend).


One part that is slightly being swept under the rug is that Luddington also provided motion capture for Lara, making her the first person to have their body modeled for Lara as well as providing her voice. Keeley Hawes previously protrayed Lara in the last 4 games, Legend, Anniversary, Underworld, and The Guardian of Light, but she did not provide motion capture since the Tomb Raider games did not utilize motion capture at the time, with the exception of Underworld.


Now, I'm having trouble remembering, but what game series has become well-known for its use of voice actors working double duty as motion capture actors?

It's all come full-circle.
