He started acting at the age of 9. Hayter spent most of his childhood living around the world and at the age of 15, Hayter moved to Kobe, Japan where he graduated from the Canadian Academy, an international school, in 1987. After high school, he attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for two years until transferring to Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where he stayed until the age of 20, when he moved to Hollywood. Career Early acting career Hayter did some live acting in the early 1990s, but became interested in voice acting after acting in an episode of the sitcom Major Dad, and later landed the role of Captain America in the popular 1994 Spider - Man animated series. He also provided the voice of Arsène Lupin III in the English version of the anime film The Castle of Cagliostro and the voice of Tamahome in the English version of the anime series Fushigi Yūgi. He also starred in the 1994 straight - to - video movie Guyver : Dark Hero, taking over the role of protagonist Sean Barker from previous actor Jack Armstrong. Metal Gear series In 1998, Hayter voiced protagonist Solid Snake in the highly successful video game Metal Gear Solid. He would reprise the role in Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes ( a remake of the original ), Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots ( where the character appears in aged form as Old Snake ). Hayter also voiced Naked Snake, a young version of Solid Snake 's `` father '' Big Boss, who serves as the protagonist in Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker, which were prequels set prior to the events of the original Metal Gear. Hayter has an extended live - action cameo as himself in Metal Gear Solid 4 in one of the fictional TV programs prior to the start of the game. In the scene, he wears the `` Solid Eye '', the technologically advanced eye patch that Old Snake wears throughout the game. Hayter is one of the few Metal Gear Solid actors to have played and completed the Metal Gear games he 's voiced in, while co-star Christopher Randolph has only played Metal Gear Solid. According to an interview with Paul Eiding, Hayter gave up half of his own paycheck in order to bring back the cast of Metal Gear Solid for Twin Snakes. His work with Metal Gear Solid has also led Hayter to do voice work in other video game projects such as Eternal Darkness : Sanity 's Requiem and Star Wars : The Old Republic. He also cited the Metal Gear Solid series as an influence on his screenwriting, stating that `` Kojima and I have different styles, '' `` but I 've certainly learned things from him, especially about ambiguity and telling a story without giving all the answers. '' Following the announcement of Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain in 2013, Hayter announced that he was not asked to reprise his role as Snake. This was later confirmed on June 6, when Konami announced that Kiefer Sutherland would be the new voice of Snake. Hayter has since revealed in an interview that he had to re-audition for the role of Snake in Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4, suggesting that Kojima was already considering recasting the part much earlier, with Kurt Russell ( who played Snake Plissken, the inspiration for Solid Snake, in Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. ) having allegedly been offered the role during the development of MGS3. Despite this, Hayter would later reprise his role as Solid Snake in a Metal Gear Solid - themed advertisement for the 2016 Ford Focus SE. Filmmaking In 2000 he wrote the screenplay for the movie version of X-Men, and then went on to co-write the screenplay for its sequel X2 with writing team Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris. Shortly after his work on X-Men, Hayter was hired to write and direct a project based on the heroine Black Widow. However, due to the limited success of similar themed films featuring female vigilante protagonists at the time, Marvel withdrew their offer to Hayter stating, `` We do n't think it 's time to do this movie ''. Hayter 's daughter Natasha, born whilst he was writing the Black Widow script, is named after the titular character. Hayter also wrote an adaptation of the graphic novel Watchmen by Alan Moore and David Gibbons. Noted for being a harsh critic of translations of his works to film, Moore said of the script `` David Hayter 's screenplay was as close as I could imagine anyone getting to ( a film version of ) Watchmen. That said, I sha n't be going to see it. My book is a comic book. Not a movie, not a novel. A comic book. It 's been made in a certain way, and designed to be read a certain way. '' Hayter and writer Alex Tse shared credit on the finished screenplay. Tse drew `` the best elements '' from two of the project 's previous drafts written by screenwriter Hayter. The script did not keep the contemporary atmosphere that Hayter created, but instead returned to the original Cold War setting of the Watchmen comic. Warner Bros. was amenable to the 1980s setting, and the director also added a title montage sequence to introduce the audience to the events of alternate history United States in that time period. On September 7, 2012, it was announced that Hayter would pen the screen adaptation Caught Stealing, and would star Patrick Wilson and Alec Baldwin. On September 13, 2012, Hayter began filming on his directorial debut, Wolves. On July 8, 2013, Hayter was hired by Lakeshore Entertainment to write the film The Sword, based on the Image Comics series. On August 7, 2013, it was announced Hayter was developing a television show on Fox tentatively titled World War III, about a fiction global conflict that chronicles `` a perfect storm of world events places us in the center of a global battle which may bring the world as we know it to an end. '' Hayter will be writing the series ' story bible and pilot episode, as well as producing and serving as showrunner. Filmography Anime Year Title Role Notes 1994 Moldiver Hiroshi Ozora Rakusho !
