“If you’ve played a video game, you’ve probably killed me.”

Richard Dorton aka Mocapman, is a veteran performance capture actor, director, stunt coordinator, producer, movement consultant, instructor and casting director with over 150 video game credits to his name.

With 25 years of experience in motion & performance capture under his belt, Richard has been in the middle of the ever-changing technology and processes used in today’s world of motion capture.

Including a diverse set of skills in acting, stunts, movement, weapons, and dance, Richard has brought to life iconic video game characters like Darth Vader, Master Chief, Nathan Drake, Peter Venkman and creatures from games like Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Ghostbusters and many more.

He is known for cinematic performance captures for feature films include No One Will Save You, Jack the Giant Killer, Spiderman, Tron and most recently, as “Kevin”, The Left head of King Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters!
