Yuri Lowenthal Interview (DF Exclusive)
Marc Kusnierz | Sunday, August 17, 2008 at 7:00PM 
Yuri Lowenthal is a man that most (if not all) gamers have heard in their games, but if you mentioned his name you would likely get a blank stare. He has been in many games, as well as anime and live-action film. He's had small roles on such shows as Alias and Gilmore Girls and big roles on such shows as Naruto and Afro Samurai.
His most famous role, however, was as the Prince in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. The fans loved his work on the game and missed his presence in sequel Warrior Within, but with the support of his fans he was able to be recast as the Prince in the third game, Two Thrones. Years later he needs our help once again and after talking with him I would gladly do all that I can.
Many of you will undoubtedly know that there is a film adaptation of Sands of Time starring Jake Gyllenhaal. What you do not know is that Yuri has been trying to get a small role, or even a cameo in the film, but has had no luck as of yet. It may be too late to help, but that doesn't mean we (the gaming community) shouldn't at least try. I am asking that you post on forums, send a letter (or email) to the studio, or sign the petition that I started. Anything is better than nothing and this man deserves all the support in the world.
Thank you Yuri, you are truly an amazing person and I (and everyone at DF) will never be able to fully show how much this has meant to us. We wish you the best of luck and hopefully we can help you in any way possible.
