Chris Sutherland

Chris Sutherland is a video game programmer, who initially joined Rare in 1989 and worked on many games, most notably on the Donkey Kong series and Banjo-Kazooie series as the main programmer. He left the company in 2014 and became one of the founding members of Playtonic Games.
Sutherland is known to have voiced many characters at Rare, like Banjo and Kazooie, and Diddy Kong.
At one point, Kevin Bayliss was unofficially credited to be former voice actor of Diddy Kong. The misunderstanding gets cleared up when sites officially credited Chris Sutherland as the one who voiced as Diddy Kong before Katsumi Suzuki took over the role.
