Call of Duty publishers, Activision, have officially fired and cut all ties with the voice actor behind the popular Call of Duty character, Ghost.
Activision announced the decision following controversial comments made by Jeff Leach being resurfaced. Activision Fires Ghost Voice Actor Ghost has long been one of the most popular characters in the Call of Duty franchise.
Ghost, otherwise known as Lieutenant Simon Riley, is a British special forces operator and is best known for his skull-patterned balaclava. He has appeared as the main character in numerous Call of Duty games. Most recently, Ghost was included in the 2019 reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and was added as an operator back in February 2020 as part of the Season 2 update.
To say that Ghost has been one of the most popular and iconic figures in Call of Duty would be fitting.
As such, when you're the voice actor of Ghost, you're already considered a public figure and thus will have to live life a bit more carefully. Otherwise, you might just end up being like Jeff Leach.
News of the firing comes from Activision after previous sexist comments made by Jeff Leach surfaced online. Leach has been a target of the online community in recent weeks, with numerous streamers questioning why companies were still supporting Leach. Most recently, he was signed by Facebook Gaming as an official partner.
