"Metal Gear Solid" also marks the first time that characters were given voice actors with Solid Snake and Naked Snake being voiced by Akio Ōtsuka. Ōtsuka remembers being surprised during his debut as a result of the large amount of dialogue Snake was given. In the English adaptations, the casting was directed by Kris Zimmerman and supervised by a member from Konami. Solid Snake's voice actor was David Hayter who, despite having issues with some of the dialogue in "Metal Gear Solid", became attached to the series.
