God of War: Ragnarok Connection to Sons of Anarchy Nobody Noticed

And no, we're not talking about a fantastical crossover episode where Kratos rides with the SAMCRO gang – although, we gotta admit, that would be epic. We're talking about a less conspicuous but equally amusing link: Chris Browning, who portrayed GoGo in Sons of Anarchy, lends his vocal chops to Surtr, the fire giant in God of War: Ragnarok.

This nugget of information, unearthed in a recent Reddit discussion, adds a new layer of complexity to an already intricate game. Surtr, a mythological figure fated to bring about Ragnarok, is a character that could have easily been one-dimensional. But the casting of Browning – known for his grim intensity in Sons of Anarchy – injects a level of gravitas into Surtr that elevates the character from mere CGI spectacle to a memorable part of the game's narrative.

But not everyone is thrilled about how Surtr is actually portrayed in God of War: Ragnarok. Some fans have a bit of an issue with Surtr's dialogues, and it's understandable: after all, they do sound way too modern for a character who is supposedly ancient. Comments like "c'mere" kind of broke immersion for those who think that the character's language could've aligned more with Sutr's mythical origins.

In a poetic twist, Browning wasn't the only Sons of Anarchy alumnus involved in the game; Ryan Hurst, who played Opie on the show, voices none other than Thor in God of War: Ragnarok. The thought of these two sharing a recording booth has thrilled fans and led to speculation about whether this connection was intentional or merely a happy coincidence.

While we may never know the behind-the-scenes details, one thing is clear: God of War: Ragnarok – thanks in part not just to its characters design but also truly brilliant voice acting – already became a part of pop-culture. As for Chris Browning, you can catch him in Bosch: Legacy (season 2 premieres in October 2023) or The Lincoln Lawyer (the series was released in 2022).
