Actor John William Galt, whose work spanned movies, TV, and video games, had died at age 81. Developer/publisher 3D Realms shared news of his passing on Sunday. Galt had worked with 3D Realms on games like Shadow Warrior and the original Prey.
He voiced main character Lo Wang in Shadow Warrior, and played Grandfather Enisi in Prey. His other video game credits included John Romero’s Daikatana, Ion Storm’s Deus Ex, and more.
On the silver screen, he provided the voice for President Lyndon B. Johnson in Forrest Gump and Oliver Stone’s conspiracy film J.F.K.
Galt’s long acting career began in 1958, and he would make the jump to the world of television in 1974. In a 2019 interview with YouTube channel Jake The Voice, he explained that he landed the role of Lo Wang after doing monster voices for 3D Realms.
