If you’ve been exploring The Dark Place in Alan Wake 2, then you’re probably wondering who Mr. Door is, and perhaps more importantly, who plays him. Well, that’s what we’re here to bring you.

There is a whole cast of talented voice performers and actors in Alan Wake 2, from the terrifying Robert Nightingale to the heroic Saga Anderson. But Mr. Door may ring a few bells for Remedy fans out there.

So, we’re going to explain everything you need to know about Mr. Door in the game, his role in the story and reveal who plays him in Alan Wake 2.

SPOILER WARNING: This guide may contain story spoilers, so be sure to proceed at your own risk to ensure details in the game remain a surprise.

In Alan Wake 2, Mr. Door (full name Warlin Door) is a talk show host who appears in The Dark Place with Alan Wake. His show is called “In Between with Mr. Door” and even features Sam Lake as a guest alongside Alan.

As Alan is forced to relive or experience seemingly reoccurring nightmares, Mr Door plays a prominent role in his torment by bombarding him with questions he doesn't seem to remember the answer to.

However, in Alan Wake 2, he plays a pretty significant role in the life of the other playable character in the game, Saga Anderson and is intrinsically tied to the town of Bright Falls. While we won’t reveal it here, let’s just say he is an intriguing presence in both their lives.

Mr. Door was additionally mentioned in Control, a game very much like Alan Wake, further cementing the shared universe between the two games.

In Alan Wake 2, Mr. Door is played by David Harewood, a British actor with a vast filmography, including Homeland, Supergirl, The Merchant of Venice, Blood Diamond, Doctor Who, and more.

He’s also no stranger to video game performances, having played prominent characters in Battlefield 3, Killzone: Shadow Fall and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

However, his role as Mr. Door is his latest role and, I must say, a great one at that.

That’s everything you need to know about Mr Door in Alan Wake 2. If you’re looking for even more strange things to look for in the game, be sure to check out where to find Nightingale’s Heart in Alan Wake 2.
