British actor Rahul Kohli, known for his roles in series such as iZombie and The Haunting of Bly Manor, has spoken about his journey from selling video games on the high street to starring in one of the biggest releases of the year for PlayStation. Kohli’s first job was working at Gamestation, a popular UK video game retailer that later merged with GAME, where he would sell games to customers. He now finds himself on the other side of the counter, as a key figure in a highly anticipated video game title.
The actor described the experience as a 'dream role', highlighting the full-circle nature of his career trajectory. His early exposure to the gaming industry, albeit in a retail capacity, appears to have laid the groundwork for this significant acting opportunity within the medium. This move into interactive entertainment represents a growing trend for established actors to lend their talents to video game productions, which increasingly feature complex narratives and high production values.
While specific details about the game title and Kohli's character have not been explicitly stated in the provided information, the reference to 'one of the biggest releases this year' and 'PlayStation' indicates a high-profile project. Such games often involve extensive voice acting, motion capture, and performance capture, allowing actors to fully embody their digital counterparts.
The game is available to play on PlayStation consoles, including PlayStation 5, and typically also on PC. As a video game, it is not streamed in the same way as a film or TV series, but rather purchased or subscribed to through platforms like PlayStation Plus for direct play. This further cements Kohli's transition from a casual observer and seller of games to an integral part of their creation and success.
