I don't know WHY they didn't just use, idk the guy who plays Nathan Drake in the actual game?
Couple of easy reasons:
Nolan North ain't got pull like that in the live action space. He most likely has a cameo in the movie that serves as a wink a nod to him playing the role in the games, but nothing else.
Nolan North is also about 50, and not one of those dudes that's in almost unnatural shape at that age, either. Sony wants a potential franchise out of this, so a younger, more physically capable actor is the call.
nathan fillon is perfect, nolan north isn't really a good physical actor
Nearly every single point that applies to Nolan North applies to Nathan Fillion. In fact, I believe Nolan North got the job because they didn't think they stood a chance of getting Fillion.
Also, if fukking DISNEY can't drop a big enough bag to get Chris Evans to entertain even occasionally popping back up as Captain America, he ain't doing this shyt.
