YouTuber Seán McLoughlin, known as Jacksepticeye, has taken on a voice acting role in the latest Hitman game as Finnvictus, a fictional influencer. He is also producing an animated adaptation of the video game Bloodborne.
McLoughlin began his YouTube career in 2012 during the platform's 'golden age.' He has since expanded into acting, including a brief appearance in the James Bond game 007: First Light.
McLoughlin says his Hitman character is not based on him personally. Some parts of Bloodborne's fan base reacted negatively to the movie announcement.
Why it matters
The Bloodborne movie could affect how fans view video game adaptations. McLoughlin's new roles may expand his career beyond YouTube into mainstream entertainment.
