Cameron A. Clarke (born November 6, 1957 in Burbank, California) is an American voice actor, made famous for his many starring roles in popular video games and animated television and film. He is the son of horror B movie actor and director Robert Clarke. His mother is Alyce Driggs, one of the famous "King Sisters" (a stage name the family used), the Mormon singing quartet from Salt Lake City, who had their own television variety show from 1965-69. In Latter Day Saint circles, Cam Clarke is best known as the original "Jimmy Flinders" character during the 1970s, from the hit LDS musical, Saturday's Warrior.
Clarke is perhaps best known for his roles as Shotaro Kaneda in Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira (1988), Max Sterling and Lancer in the 1985 Robotech series, Rigadon in Around the World with Willy Fog in 1986, Dogtanian in Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds in 1987, Leonardo and Rocksteady in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, and Liquid Snake in the popular Metal Gear Solid series of video games. It has been confirmed by Ryan Payton that he will not reprise the role in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (source: blank">http://mp.i-revo.jp/user.php/kp-ryan/entry/128.html). Clarke is also the voice of Prince Adam and _He-Man in the 2002 relaunch of Masters of the Universe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. He is also known to RPG fans as Ryudo in "Grandia II", Kratos Aurion in "Tales of Symphonia" and Will Raynard in "Tales of Legendia." He voices the male Blood Elf in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. He uses a voice similar to Liquid Snake's for this portrayal. To date, Clarke has voiced over one hundred titles.
