Best Video Game Voice Actors of Q4 2018
Orion Acaba as Rico Rodriguez – Just Cause 4
Just Cause 4 is the first time Orion Acaba has ever voiced Rico Rodriguez, taking over the role from the previous actor, Kevin Collins. Despite that, he feels like a natural in the role, filling Rico with all the swagger and overconfidence you’d expect.
This time around, Rico is once again taking on the Black Hand, looking for evidence of how his father was working with the mercenary group. Everything fans know about Rico is still the same: he’s still cocky, loud, and sarcastic.
However, at the same time, the protagonist feels more mature and weathered, and has more of a defined personality rather than just being a blank slate for the player.
Acaba feels like a fantastic fit for Rico, providing a bit more depth and emotion to the character than what we’ve seen before. His accent is also spot-on, making this feel like the most genuine version of the character we’ve seen yet.
