Biography
Bateson was born on 9 February 1960, in Durban, South Africa to English parents. He entered the acting profession before returning to Britain in 1984. He later moved to Canada and now lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is also a full member of British Equity and Danish Actors' Union.
He landed his first role in 1994 film Prince of Jutland as Hother. He also played the part of a young sailor in the 1996 film Breaking the Waves, along with the main role in the 2002 short film Debutanten.
In the Hitman game series, Bateson provided the voice of Agent 47 and in every entry in the series until the fifth game, Hitman: Absolution, when he stated to a member of a Hitman fan forum that "No one from IO Interactive is answering my calls, e-mails or sms." Bateson would later officially confirm on his personal website that he had been "unceremoniously dropped from the franchise", and added that he was unable to make further comments due to "legal reasons."
Bateson did eventually return as the voice of Agent 47 in Hitman: Absolution.
On June 16, 2015, just one day after the announcement of Hitman (2016), David Bateson confirmed that he will once again be voicing Agent 47 in the new title via Twitter.
