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. Luckily, the PS3 port doesn’t have him talk as much.
5. He goes off script from his teleprompter.
