## Early career
Langdon began his career in Japan, appearing as a regular on the Japanese television series *B-Fighter Kabuto*, before moving to Los Angeles, where he works as an actor, producer, and director.[6](https://www.mobygames.com/person/72588/reuben-langdon/)
His first motion capture job came in Japan, on the [Dreamcast](https://www.edgepedia.org/dreamcast) version of *Resident Evil: CODE Veronica*, where he was selected to perform the motions of [Chris Redfield](https://www.edgepedia.org/chris-redfield). In a 2015 Capcom interview he dated that audition and job to 1997 and said that, to his understanding, it was the first time motion capture had been used in the game; in a later interview he recalled it as around 1998.[2](https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/interview-with-a-capcom-star-reuben-langdon) • [8](https://www.cheatcc.com/articles/interview-with-reuben-langdon-video-game-motion-capture-reinassance-man-extra/) After a break, he returned to motion capture in 2000, coordinating a team of martial artists and stuntmen for the Xbox game *Tao Feng*, and then worked regularly in the field.[8](https://www.cheatcc.com/articles/interview-with-reuben-langdon-video-game-motion-capture-reinassance-man-extra/)
## Dante and the Devil May Cry series
Langdon was cast as Dante in *[Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening](https://www.edgepedia.org/devil-may-cry-3-dantes-awakening)* (2005) and has provided both the voice and motion capture for the character in the mainline sequels, in *Devil May Cry: The Animated Series*, and in *Marvel vs. Capcom 3* and its *Ultimate* edition.[1](https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Reuben_Langdon) • [3](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Reuben_Langdon) A Grantland profile notes that *Devil May Cry 3* was one of the first instances of a single motion-capture performer combining stunts, voice work, and conventional acting into one character.[9](https://grantland.com/features/stuntman-hollywood-motion-capture-reuben-langdon/)
The character took shape during production. Langdon has said that Dante in *DMC3* was a complete re-creation of the character compared with the first two games, and that after days of trying to satisfy conflicting direction he did his own thing and built a cocky, rebellious teenager from his own frustration. For *DMC4*, series director Hideaki Itsuno, a fan of *Macross*, told Langdon his image of Dante was Roy Fokker (Roy Focker), which Langdon, a fan of the series, found easy to relate to.[2](https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/interview-with-a-capcom-star-reuben-langdon)
He returned for *Devil May Cry 5* (2019), credited with Dante's motion capture and voice.[10](https://www.mobygames.com/game/121476/devil-may-cry-5/credits/windows/?autoplatform=true) He did not voice Dante in the 2025 Netflix *Devil May Cry* series; [Johnny Yong Bosch](https://www.edgepedia.org/johnny-yong-bosch), who voices Nero in *Devil May Cry 4* and *5*, took the role instead.[11](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/anime-shows/devil-may-cry-netflix-release-date-trailer-game-connection/)
## Ken Masters and other Capcom roles
Langdon voiced Ken Masters in the English versions of the *Street Fighter* games beginning with *Street Fighter IV* (2009) and continuing through *Street Fighter V* and its Champion Edition.[2](https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/interview-with-a-capcom-star-reuben-langdon) • [7](https://www.mobygames.com/person/72588/reuben-langdon/credits/sort%3Adate/) The Street Fighter Wiki records his tenure as the English voice of Ken from 2008 to 2023, ending when David Matranga took over the role with *Street Fighter 6*.[1](https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Reuben_Langdon) He also played Ken in live action in Thousand Pounds Action's short film *Street Fighter x Tekken: The Devil Within*.[1](https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Reuben_Langdon)
His Capcom credits extend beyond those two characters. He revisited Chris Redfield for *Resident Evil 5* and *6*, performed zombie moves on *[Resident Evil Outbreak](https://www.edgepedia.org/resident-evil-outbreak)*, voiced Dave Johnson in *Resident Evil 5*, and appeared as Masamune Date in *Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes*.[2](https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/interview-with-a-capcom-star-reuben-langdon) • [12](https://www.mobygames.com/person/72588/reuben-langdon/credits/) [Motion capture](https://www.edgepedia.org/motion-capture) credits outside Capcom include *Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast*, *Castlevania: Curse of Darkness*, *Dead Rising*, and *The Bourne Conspiracy*.[6](https://www.mobygames.com/person/72588/reuben-langdon/)
## Motion capture practice
As a capture performer, Langdon describes the work as acting on a stage where the entire environment must be imagined, close to green screen acting but performed in a marked-up suit with reflective balls, surrounded by 20 to 100 cameras in a square or rectangular volume.[4](https://techcrunch.com/2009/06/23/interview-reuben-langdon-motion-capture-artist-for-avatar/) The industry term is mocap, he says, because "at the end of the day you're capturing motions," whatever the marketing preference for "performance capture."
**Technology changes.** Between *DMC3* and *DMC4* the major change was facial capture: *DMC3* was animated entirely by hand, while *DMC4* used a head-mounted camera system that got in the way of action scenes; headcams have since become smaller and easier to work with.[2](https://news.capcomusa.com/lets/browse/interview-with-a-capcom-star-reuben-langdon) In a 2009 interview he described real-time tools that let performers see the CGI environment while acting, and virtual cameras that are themselves motion-captured, both technologies that [James Cameron](https://www.edgepedia.org/james-cameron) pushed on *Avatar*, on which Langdon had been working for several years.[4](https://techcrunch.com/2009/06/23/interview-reuben-langdon-motion-capture-artist-for-avatar/) He also runs his own CG company, which does motion capture and animation.[4](https://techcrunch.com/2009/06/23/interview-reuben-langdon-motion-capture-artist-for-avatar/)
## Film and stunt work
Langdon's on-camera and stunt credits include *The Medallion*, *Spider-Man 2*, *Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End*, *Night at the Museum 2*, *Ant-Man*, *Scott Pilgrim vs. the World*, and *Avatar*.[5](https://thekitsunetwork.net/2019/06/30/ronin-expo-2019-interviews-hiroshi-nagahama-reuben-langdon/) He has continued in stunt roles on recent games, including *[The Last of Us](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-last-of-us-franchise): Part I* and *Part II Remastered* and the *Horizon Forbidden West* expansions.[7](https://www.mobygames.com/person/72588/reuben-langdon/credits/sort%3Adate/) He is also a filmmaker whose documentary series is *Interview with E.D.*[13](https://www.interviewwithed.org/reuben-langdon)
