I know Mike Patton from his time as the lead singer of Faith No More. I loved his stuff and thought he had a great voice. Thus it was to my surprise when I read this interview with The A.V. Club where he reveals his secret work with video games as a voice actor. He has done work on Bionic Commando and Portal and will be featuring in Left 4 Dead as well.

AVC: You also had a brief appearance in Portal, the Valve game, and there’s talk about you perhaps appearing in their game Left 4 Dead.

MP: I think what they did is they took some material that I’d already recorded for Portal—maybe it was vice versa. Basically that came out of the same session of work.

If you are a fan of Patton’s work then check out the interview here.
