The VŌC Podcast // Taymour Ghazi Interview (The face of Nick)

Therapist: Real life Nick isnt real, he cant hurt you Real life Nick:

Valve's scan of Taymour Ghazi to Nick was one of the best they've done. It seems weird seeing him in real life since the scan was so well done and real.

If the schedules line up, you guys should do like a L4D "reunion" show. Have the voice actors meet the face models. Maybe it can be done for charity?

nicholassss

It’s so trippy you know. You only see that face in Left 4 Dead 2 in Nick…a video game character, but to see that exact face on a normal everyday person….it’s surreal and uncanny. Valve was on something else with their face capture

11:18 Mr. Ghazi doing the eyebrow-thing sent me. 😂 I can only see Nick doing that

Tay Ghazi was so down to earth and really nice! I loved seeing him and listening to him on the podcast! I’d love to see more voices and or face models of the left 4 dead cast in the future!

It's weird that Nick's VA and Face Model are not the same (I think) yet Tay sounds a lot like Nick

Good to see real life Nick. He looks badass. Taymour Ghazi is a wonderful person and he shall have a happy life.

Its crazy how he even sounds a bit like Nick. He is LITERALLY Nick in real life.

So we depressingly find out that taymour has never met the people who did the face models, that sucks We’re so need to see Taymour Ghazi and Jesy McKinney together on screen. With everyone else too

i think Nick is one of the most beloved characters. Not because he is naive like Ellis or kind like Coach, but because he is like i mean , not like "jerk" but you know is like fuck this and that and ppl loved the character because of how he is , he is my 3rd fav characters, first is Louis , Zoey and Then Nick. Now i know this is dumb, but is shocking watching him talking and moving , because i'm so used to play the game and seeing the model of him and not in real like (i have 500 hrs on L4D2) and now im thinking "oh is a real human being" (i know is dumb, but well) I wish him great stuff in his future, he seems like a really cool dude that likes his fanbase

I honestly loved nicks design and voice.

"I got paid good but.. I should gotten paid more!" The lines I laughed about and given no doubts 😂

It's funny that just now you can get the good guy nick archivement xD

nick from left 4 dead

I love how Taymour Ghazi sounds very similar to Nick's voice, my guess was the intention but more with an accent. Still pretty cool and scary.

He should definitely play in Nick in a L4D show or movie. I'm not just saying that because he's the face model.

12:35 ah man... What a Legendary. :-') <3
