Note: For this character and anyone else with this note included, there may be only a very small role involved. These roles will have lines from the books, which were never voiced, because of this it would also then be ideal that the same voice actors replace the characters lines from in-game as well, so that within the film the audience can make the connection between the two. If voice actors can be successfully obtained for these characters I will be able to consider expanding the line selection from the book to encompass more of that story.

SERGEANT MAJOR AVERY JOHNSON [Voice Impression: David Scully]: 

Official Depiction Overview [How he is presented in the canonical work]:

Sergeant Johnson is probably the biggest named character appearing in the film, he had his debut in the very first Halo, and spent his time side by side with the chief until the end. He's the rough around the edges drill sergeant of the franchise, doing hyping speeches and pep-talks for anyone who'll listen, and making outrageous claims about his past military experiences. He's got a deep, rough voice, and nine times out of ten he's as loud as he's able to be. His role in Halo 3 ODST, albeit very brief, is still quite crucial, he is brought in to speak with Vergil and hopefully pry the hidden secrets he keeps out of him.

Our Depiction Overview [How he will be presented in our film]:

Many of the lines featured in the film will be borrowed from the game in order to refresh the audience on the events that took place. Johnson in particular only really has a couple of lines necessary to complete the story, and they relate to his brief appearance in the post credits scene of ODST. While he does play a prevalent role there, I would be interested to see if anyone out there can replicate his voice, since he'd then be able to have more of an involvement in the interrogation of Vergil.

How He Sounds

His voice as it's depicted in the official media can be heard in its entirety in this video;

Sergeant Johnson has a deep register, with a roughness to it. He does smoke cigars half the time after all. He carries himself like he owns the room and I'd argue that he does most days.

Ultimately though, I'm open to hear different interpretations of his character as well as attempts at matching his voice.

I look forward to hearing your auditions!!
