Actor Charlie Cox was nominated for Best Performance at this year’s Game Awards for his role as Gustave in the breakout hit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He’s now reacted to receiving that nomination, saying he is thrilled, but also making it clear that the credit ought to go to the performance-capture actor, Maxence Cazorla.
“I am thrilled for this nomination,” Cox said at the La Conve/Animex event in Mexico recently. “There is an amazing French actor by the name of Maxence Cazorla who did almost all of the motion capture for that role in that game. Any nomination, or any credit I get, I have to give to him. I believe the performance of that character is really down to him and my voice was just a part of that process.”
