Dallas Wanamaker (Ratchet & Clank)

Dallas Wanamaker is a recurring character from Ratchet & Clank, notably in Ratchet: Deadlocked. He was voiced by Daran Norris.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Dallas is the most quotable character in Deadlocked.
 * 2) The way how he mispronounces Juanita’s name is funny.
 * 3) Daran Norris did a great job voicing him.
 * 4) He and Juanita have good chemistry.
 * 5) He is considered one of the funniest news anchors shown in video games.
 * 6) His green skin is a clever Actor Allusion due to Daran Norris previously voicing Cosmo from The Fairly OddParents, who is also green.
 * 7) Unlike Juanita, he sometimes compliments Ratchet for his efforts.
 * 8) It’s hard not to feel sorry for him. He wanted to be a ballet dancer or would have worked on Annihilation Nation and is one of many people captured by Vox.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Throughout most of the game, he constantly slanders Ratchet. This is justified because Gleeman Vox forced him to do that or he would die.
 * 2) He sometimes harasses Juanita.
 * 3) He had an unnecessary change in design for 2016’s Ratchet & Clank. Daran Norris didn’t even return to voice him.
 * 4) He talks very often during gameplay, which can get on players’ nerves.
