Ray Porter

Ray Porter is an American actor and audiobook narrator who is most widely known for portraying the DC Comics villain Darkseid in Zack Snyder's Justice League. He also did some voice acting work for The Scarecrow, The Path of Atticus: Gods and Monsters, and The Little Engine That Could.

Career
After appearing in many television series, he gained attention when he was cast as Darkseid in the 2017 film Justice League, becoming the first actor to have been cast as the character in a live-action feature film. However, Darkseid did not appear in the theatrical cut, meaning Zack Snyder's Justice League marked the character's first appearance in a live-action film. Porter played Darkseid through the use of motion capture and "went through a few different vocal gymnastics trying to figure out the voice". In February 2022, he was cast in Snyder's film Rebel Moon.
