His boss, Irving Lambert, is voiced by actor Don Jordan.

The game is available for Xbox, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Mac OS X.[1][2] 2D versions of the game were released for the Game Boy Advance and N-Gage,[3] as well as the mobile phones version developed by Gameloft.[4] A remastered "high definition" version of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was announced for the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 on December 20, 2010.[5] The success of the game series spawned a series of novels written under the pseudonym David Michaels.
