              • Uncharted 4: Nadine Ross as Laura Bailey Roundtable - 291

                Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is one of the most anticipated titles for 2016. During The Game Awards, the show that Hideo Kojima was banned from attending, we got a UC4 trailer which featured Drake and one of his antagonists - Nadine Ross.

                Nadine is a South African mercenary who leads the group called shoreline. She skilled in combat, beautiful and is voiced by the Mississippian and Voice Over icon Laura Bailey. The last part is what disturbs some people of colour as they wonder why this role didn't get done by an African American voice actor. As we sat at a burger spot in San Francisco, we explored the conversation that may surround the Nadine Ross as Laura Bailey casting. Thanks to Mandy Paez, Patrick Joyner, Quibián Salazar and Kahlief Adams for weighing in this roundtable.
