Video game developer Sledgehammer Games has announced the cast for the upcoming "Call of Duty: WWII" zombie mode storyline prior to the mode's launch event. The voice actors include a roster of talented film and television actors.
David Tennant will play the character of Drostan Hynd. While mostly known for his work as The Doctor in the BBC series "Doctor Who," Tenant is a veteran in voice acting, having previously worked in various films, television shows, and advertisements. He has also worked in video games like "Kinect Sports Rivals" and "Just Cause 3." Tenant will also be the voice of Scrooge McDuck in the upcoming reboot of Disney's "DuckTales."

The next cast member announced was Katheryn Winnick, who will play as the intrepid Marie Fischer. Winnick is hailed for her performance as Lagertha in The History Channel's "Vikings" series. This will also mark her first foray into voice acting.

Kier has appeared in more than 200 films, including "Blade" and "Armageddon." He has also worked as voice actor for video games "Red Alert 2" and its expansion "Yuri's Revenge."
