He is perhaps best known for being the motion capture and voice of Micah Bell, one of the members of the Van der Linde gang in 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the biggest video games of all-time. He also voiced Dr Harlan Fontaine in the chart-topping game L.A. Noire and is the brains behind Get Hit, a comedy TV series that he wrote and starred in. Blomquist launched his screen career in 2008 with Get Hit, playing Gary Thornquist and writing and directing all six episodes. Three years later, he made his video-game debut with the character of Dr Harlan Fontaine in L.A. Noire, a detective action-adventure game by Rockstar Games. The game was six years in development and topped the UK video-game charts on its release in May 2011. It became the first video-game to be screened at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival, drawing widespread acclaim from critics and helping to further position video-games as a serious art-form. This shift became more apparent with the next game Blomquist was involved with, Red Dead Redemption 2, another Rockstar action-adventure game that was praised by critics and fans alike. Released in 2018, the game enjoyed the most successful launch weekend in entertainment history — that includes the biggest films imaginable — taking $725 million in sales during its opening weekend and eclipsing the success of its predecessor. As a screen actor, Blomquist has also appeared in some diverse and challenging films, including genre-bending road movie Welcome to Nowhere (Bullet Hole Road) and 2019’s Rawmouth.Show more
