The past Kratos shown at the end of God of War Ragnarok was silent during his memorable scene, and this is likely due to Christopher Judge refusing to voice him out of respect for Terrence C. Carson's work in the original trilogy. In a brief video clip posted by YouTuber AbdBay, Judge expressed high praise for Carson's performance and stated that he never set out to "match" him while creating his own take on Kratos. He goes on to say that he was recently contacted for a role that required him to emulate Carson's younger Kratos, which Judge turned down because he felt it would have been disrespectful to him.

"I never watched any of the scenes from the earlier (God of War games) because TC's so great, and I thought it would be a disservice to try to voice match him or anything, nor did they ask for it," Judge said. "From the very beginning, it was about making it my own."

I know every one loves Judge, but damn he's insufferable. He should run the insomniac training videos.

Terrence C. Carson's work in the original trilogy

Spoiler: Examples

He was great. I've missed his angry voice in recent games. His voice is not suitable for this new sensitive Kratos though.

TC Carson has done more than just God of War

Sony Santa Monica probably has a size 6 line in his contract that he can't provide the voice for any character that a "gamer," "dudebro," "dude," or "bro," idolized in The Golden Age Of mid 2000's Piracy, with swashbuckling stoner redditors sailing the wide seas on Dorito bag canoes, drunk on Code Red.

Living single! The original friends. Loved that show. Singing " we are living.. single.,,"

He played a Jamaican character in a show called Key West that was pretty charming. It was about a character (played by Fisher Stevens) that wins the lottery in NY, and just leaves everything behind to follow his dream of writing in Key West like his idol Hemingway.

Living single was fantastic and even though I was 12 at the time, I still got some laughs out of it for the little bit I could understand.

Could be the crush on Kim fields too.

All he has to do is breathe in copious amounts of helium during his lines.

Christopher Judge did voice young Kratos in God of War 2018 though, when Helheim showed young Kratos fight Zeus.
