Captain John Price – Barry Sloane

Barry Sloane did a great job bringing Captain John Price, the SAS hero, to life in Modern Warfare 2 and 3. Taking over the role from Billy Murray, who voiced Price in four games, Sloane added a dimension to the character while paying tribute to Murray’s legacy. Call of Duty fans also admired Sloane’s performance as the key character.

Vladimir Makarov – Julian Kostov

Julian Kostov lends his voice to Vladimir Makarov, a cold-blooded villain in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Makarov is a known figure who poses a significant threat throughout the Modern Warfare series. On the other hand, Kostov is a Bulgarian actor with appearances in various films and web shows. He excels at portraying antagonists and brings out the arrogant personality that perfectly suits the character of Makarov.

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley – Samuel Roukin

Samuel Roukin takes on the Simon “Ghost” Riley role, who is a mysterious and masked warrior in Modern Warfare 3. Ghost is a beloved character in the Modern Warfare series, known for his cryptic and masked look. Roukin, on the other hand, is an English actor who gives his voice to Ghost, adding his unique smugness and dark personality to the role. In the game, Ghost is a member of Task Force 141 and plays a vital role in the campaign alongside other iconic characters such as Captain Price and Soap MacTavish.

Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick – Elliot Knight

Elliot Knight, an actor known for his roles in shows like Once Upon a Time, Titans, and How to Get Away with Murder, lends his voice to Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick in Modern Warfare 3. Gaz serves as a skilled sergeant as well as an expert marksman who acts as Captain John Price’s trusted right-hand man. In Modern Warfare 2, Gaz teams up with Price alongside Task Force 141 operators for various campaign missions. Throughout the campaign, he also formed a strong bond with Farah Karim and the Urzikstan Liberation Force.

John ‘Soap’ MacTavish – Neil Ellice

As a British soldier in the elite Task Force 141, John “Soap” MacTavish has to face many challenges and dangers in his mission to stop a terrorist threat and a rogue general. He is brought to life by Neil Ellice, an actor who also starred in Loki and Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Neil Ellice said he was fascinated by the role of Soap because of the emotional journey of the character, who has to deal with a world where nothing is black and white.

General Shepherd – Glenn Morshower

As in the previous game, actor Glenn Morshower lends his voice to General Shepherd, a high-ranking officer in the United States Army who has a crucial role in the story of Modern Warfare 3. He is shown as a visionary leader who commands his forces to hunt down and eliminate the antagonist Hassan. He was also seen motivating Laswell and Task Force 141 to overcome this grave threat.

Phillip Graves – Warren Kole

Warren Kole continues to play the Phillip Graves role in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Phillip Graves is the CEO and founder of Shadow Company and initially appears as a supporting character but is later revealed to be the tertiary antagonist. He is a charismatic villain who, along with Shadow Company, turns on Task Force 141, which is not surprising for those who played the 2009 Modern Warfare 2, although the villain's turn is sudden.
