Welcome to Back to Pop! I’m your host, Marc Childs — and today’s guest is an actor whose voice has crossed worlds of animation, live action, and video games.

You know him as Nightcrawler in X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men ’97, as Haytham Kenway in Assassin’s Creed III, and as the mighty dragon Sol Regem in The Dragon Prince. But beyond the booth, Adrian Hough is a storyteller, a father, and a passionate protector of our forests.

In this episode, we dive into his early roots, the craft behind creating unforgettable voices, the return of Nightcrawler after three decades, the unique demands of video game performance, and how his environmental advocacy shapes his artistry.

It’s a conversation about legacy, technique, and purpose — all through the lens of one of pop culture’s most versatile performers.
