If you’ve been playing the Black Ops 1 Campaign, you might recognize the voice of Joseph Bowman. Did you know that’s because it’s the legendary Ice Cube? Ice Cube isn’t the only recognizable voice (and face) featured in Black Ops, and there’s actually a star-studded lineup of incredible talent that we’ll remind you of in this full Black Ops 1 cast list, which shows both the Campaign actors, characters, and their famous roles, and of course, the Zombies cast, too!

Who Voices Alex Mason in Black Ops 1?
Alex Mason is voiced by Sam Worthington, an actor who you’d recognize from James Cameron’s Avatar (2009) as protagonist Jake Sully. Sam Worthington has had some notable roles in Hollywood, but Jake Sully takes the cake as an absolute (blue) icon, who also happens to be one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time.
Who Voices Bowman in Black Ops 1?
Bowman is voiced by Ice Cube, the iconic American rapper and songwriter who was part of the N.W.A. group and now performs as a solo act. Ice Cube’s role as Bowman isn’t exactly surprising, considering this rapper-turned-actor and filmmaker has plenty of iconic characters, like Craig Jones in Friday (1995) and the more recent infamous re-telling of War of the Worlds (2025).
Who Voices Reznov & Dr. Clarke in Black Ops 1?
Reznov and Dr. Clarke are both voiced by Gary Oldman, while being vastly different characters, which just goes to show Gary Oldman’s incredible range. With icons under his belt like James Gordon from The Dark Knight Trilogy and Sirius Black from the Harry Potter movies, Gary Oldman has the privilege of being a fan-favorite COD character and the winner of an Academy Award for Best Actor as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour (2017).
Who Voices Hudson in Black Ops 1?
Hudson is voiced by Ed Harris, because who else would be able to bring about a cold, calculated gravitas to such a role? Hudson’s razor-sharp and no-nonsense personality is complemented greatly by Ed Harris’ talent, and you can recognize this talent as the Man in Black in HBO’s Westworld (2016-2022).

Who Voices Richtofen in Black Ops 1?
Edward Richtofen is voiced by Nolan North, and he has brought this mad German scientist to life since 2008, and has been featured in every Treyarch Call of Duty (except for Black Ops Cold War). Richtofen might be one of Nolan North’s most iconic characters, but you’ve heard him in so many games, like the Ghost in Destiny 2, as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series, and as Deadpool countless times in many Marvel animated shows and games.
Who Voices Dempsey in Black Ops 1?
Tank Dempsey is voiced by Steve Blum (hoorah!) This shouting, fourth-wall-breaking American isn’t even Steve Blum’s most iconic character. You’d recognize Steve Blum’s amazing voice as Wolverine, a Marvel character he’s voiced for decades across countless Marvel animated shows and video games.
Who Voices Nikolai in Black Ops 1?
Nikolai Belinski is voiced by Fred Tatasciore, and there’s perhaps no one more perfect to bring Nikolai’s personality to life with such charm and humor behind every voiceline (and burp). Fred Tatasciore’s role as Nikolai may bring the humor, but his other roles as Soldier 76 in Overwatch, Xur in Destiny 2, and the Incredible Hulk in a multitude of Marvel projects prove his range.
Who Voices Takeo in Black Ops 1?
Takeo Masaki is voiced by Tom Kane, who sadly passed away in June 2026. Tom Kane’s iconic status as a voice actor will be immortalized with Takeo Masaki, among other roles that he’s brought to life over the decades. If you’ve ever watched a cartoon, you’ve probably heard Tom Kane without even knowing it, and with hundreds of credits, we only have time to notice Yoda and the Narrator in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
