Jon St. John is an American voice actor. He is best known for his voice roles such as Duke Nukem in the Duke Nukem video game series and Big the Cat and E-123 Omega in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise.[1]

Career

He started his career in voice work in 1975, when he was a radio DJ in North Carolina.[citation needed]

He has provided the voice for numerous video game characters, such as the voice for the drill instructor Dwight T. Barnes as well as various other Marines in Half-Life: Opposing Force. He has done the voices for Big the Cat in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes, Trash Man, General Warthog and other characters in Twisted Metal 4, E-102 Gamma in Sonic Battle, the announcer in Sonic Advance 3, E-123 Omega in Sonic Heroes, Bolt Logan in Chrome and Chrome: SpecForce and Agent Michael Ford in Conduit 2.[1]

St. John is best known for being the voice of Duke Nukem in the Duke Nukem video game series from 1996 onwards, starting with Duke Nukem 3D.[1] During the audition, voice director Lani Minella, told him "I want you to think of Dirty Harry when he goes 'Do you feel lucky, do you punk?” After he performed the line verbatim, Broussard suggested St. John approach the voice as "a much bigger guy, much bigger than, say, Clint Eastwood,” Dirty Harry's actor. St. Jon lowered the pitch of his voice, and Broussard was impressed, hiring him to voice the character.[2]

He dubs the voice of professor Simon and Archibald in Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle.[1] He provided the narrator's voice in Forsaken. He voiced Jack Boyd in the video games This Is The Police and its sequel.

In 2019, he took on the role of the Postal Dude for Postal 4: No Regerts.
