Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
Michael Antonakos was approached by Ubisoft before May 2017 to voice the character of Alexios in the then-upcoming Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. In the auditioning phase Ubisoft gave Michael a concept image of Alexios for him to build a voice and character around. Michael cited Ezio, Batman and Wolverine as inspirations for the voice of the character. After being officially hired and given a full backstory about Alexios, Michael began further developing his portrayal. He found Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" to be a great driving force behind finding Alexios' physicality. When revealed not to be the canon character, Michael expressed disappointment but remained jovial about the matter.
He has been married to actor and costume designer Tara Newstead since 2 April 2011. The couple have a child together (born c. 2016). In 2019, the couple moved to Vancouver together, and in August while staying at a friend's cabin met a cougar who trapped them inside until it left.
