Crimson Desert star Alec Newman says video game acting wasn't always treated with respect by his peers, but that's all changing now.

Alec Newman's been a part of some beloved games in recent years, having voiced Cyberpunk 2077's Adam Smasher, the main character in horror gem Still Wakes the Deep, and most recently, Crimson Desert's Kilff, the blockbuster game's main character and the face on the box.
