Original voice actor behind Frank Woods is "so bummed" he's not reprising his role in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

If you’ve watched the reveal trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, you’ll have seen fan-favourite character Frank Woods present and correct. But something is certainly off…

It’s Woods, alright, but his voice isn’t quite right – and that’s because the original voice actor behind the character has been replaced. With whom, we’re not sure – Activision has yet to make that announcement. But we do know the original voice actor is pretty bummed out about it.

Speaking in a YouTube video where he answered a series of fan questions, an exasperated James C Burns, who has played Frank Woods for over a decade, expressed his frustration.

“I’m sure the story’s going to be fucking brilliant,” Burns says. “It’s just that if I could have brought all that I know… like I got 80,000 pounds of weight to bring to this thing. Not a knock on whoever they got in to do it, but he doesn’t have the background I have with Woods. I’ve got 11 years with this guy man, and I have all this backstory and all this front-loaded stuff… and I know the… man!
