Interview at BAFTA Event
Speaking to the Associated Press at the BAFTA TV Tea Party, Root addressed ongoing speculation about his involvement in the upcoming title. He stated that his participation became evident once the initial marketing materials were released, as many recognized his voice from prior work.
“Yeah, you’re gonna see me in there. It’s coming out November 19th. I think from the first roll out of GTA that they were doing maybe almost a year ago, they had my character in there and there were too many people who knew me from King of the Hill and my voice.”
Reaction to Development Process
Root described the experience of working on the game as a significant departure from previous projects. He expressed satisfaction with his involvement and praised the production as an impressive achievement.
“Absolutely [it’s a whole different ball game] I’m so happy to be involved with it. It’s an amazing thing to look at.”
