Career

Zumwalt began his acting career in 2004, playing a small role in the short film 16w. From then until 2008, he took small roles in low-budget films, television series and video game roles to make a living.

In 2004, Zumwalt was hired by Rockstar Games to provide the voice of Roman Bellic, Niko’s cousin, in their video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Upon the game’s release in April 2008, Roman was critically well-received due to his distinctive accent and humorous dialogue. To date, the voice of Roman is Zumwalt’s most notable and popular role.[1]

In 2014, Zumwalt co-wrote the script for the dramatic thriller Urge, alongside Aaron Kaufman.[2][3] He also co-wrote the screenplay for the 2016 independent film Flock of Dudes, alongside Bob Castrone and Brian Levin.[4]

He is now the 'Voice of God' at the beginning of the award winning Around the NFL podcast, having taken over the role from Matt 'Money' Smith
