Michael Ironside, who voiced the character in the games, is not involved in this project. This time, Sam Fisher is voiced by Liev Schreiber.
The creator behind Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is a creator with a strong reputation in action cinema. The series was developed by Derek Kolstad, creator of the John Wick series. Kolstad’s leadership has heightened expectations for the animated series.
