Trivia

• Metal Gear Solid: Integral had English voice acting with Japanese subtitles. One possible reason for this is that Hideo Kojima is rumored to have said he liked the English voice acting better, and possibly the English voice of Solid Snake, Hayter's character. The Japanese version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance had English voice acting, possibly for the same reason.

• In the original manual of Metal Gear Solid, the voice of Solid Snake is credited to Sean Barker, which was the name of the character Hayter played in Guyver: Dark Hero.

• According to Gamefaqs User Chris Ho's interview with Paul Eiding, Hayter gave up half of his own paycheck in order to bring back the cast of Metal Gear Solid for the remake, The Twin Snakes. This is the reason why the voice acting in The Twin Snakes was almost completely redone with the same voice actors, one of the few differences being the actor for the Cyborg Ninja who was replaced by Rob Paulsen [1]

• An interview with David Hayter by Game Informer in 2001 showed that Hayter wished for the then-unconfirmed Metal Gear Solid movie to be animated or made in CGI, possibly so he could provide the voice of Solid Snake. He also wished to be the screenwriter under the possible supervision of Hideo Kojima^{[citation needed]}.

• Hayter is known to be a huge fan of the Black Widow comic books, and is said to have named his daughter Natasha for the Black Widow protagonist of the same name^{[citation needed]}.

• Hayter is one of the few Metal Gear Solid actor to date to have played and beaten the Metal Gear games he's voiced in,^[1] while co-star Christopher Randolph has only beaten Metal Gear Solid [[2]]

• Hayter has written a 324 page screenplay adaptation to the graphic novel "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and David Gibbons which has been hailed by Moore as one of the most accurate translations of comics to films ever written.[3]
