Which actor voices Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag?

Matt Ryan voices Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Ryan provides the voice and performance for Edward, a Welsh privateer who becomes the central character of the 2013 pirate-themed game. His portrayal helped establish Edward as a charismatic but initially self-interested protagonist whose goals change through contact with the Assassin Brotherhood.

Matt Ryan later became strongly associated with another major role in the wider Assassin's Creed franchise: he played Henry Green in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. This connection can cause confusion because both characters are prominent British-speaking figures in the series.

Roger Craig Smith voices Ezio Auditore, not Edward Kenway. Michael Fassbender played Callum Lynch in the 2016 Assassin's Creed film, while Troy Baker has voiced other video-game characters but is not Edward's principal voice performer.
