role
When fans and critics continued praising Charlie Cox's role in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the Daredevil star was caught off-guard. In one of the recent interviews, Cox didn't hold back feelings about all the praise coming his way.
The actor confesses openly, "People keep saying how amazing it and congratulations and I feel like a total fraud." His honesty stems from his limited contribution—via voice recording and the lack of gaming experience.

The star further added that his role was confined to a single and brief recording session that lasted only about 4 hours. "My agent asked me if I wanted to go and do a voice-over. I was in the studio for 4 hours… maybe," he stated.

Despite the modesty shown by Cox, Gustave's role has been praised widely; after all, it adds an emotional depth to the protagonist of the game. As he has not played this critically acclaimed game, an overwhelmingly positive response caught him off-guard.
He was thrilled about the achievement of the development team.
A low-key role proved to be more in this breakout hit
Unlike some big-budget games that go on and on with months of promotion, Cox was actually not a part of Expedition 33 marketing push.
During its release, he was actually busy filming 'Daredevil: Born Again.' It left very little time for him to do the game-related press. Such lack of visibility led many fans to mistake Gustave's voice for another actor's, adding to Cox's fraudulent remark.
Yet, the performance of the Daredevil star stood out. Some of his co-stars, including Ben Starr and Andy Serkis, praised Cox for his commitment. They said they are all not just tourists in the game.
Despite a very brief recording time, Cox was able to deliver a gripping portrayal that helped elevate Expedition 33 to be Game of the Year contender.
Developed by Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has defied expectations. With the hybrid combat system and unique art style, the game has become a surprise hit. The game proves that even a small role can create a lasting impression with the emotional core of the story that was brought in by Coxs Gustave. While Cox might downplay contributions and feel like an accidental star, the fans and the critical do disagree.
With the success of the game, Expedition 33 is a standout title today, and it opens the door for many more Hollywood talent to join in on gaming—especially after Cox's performance.
