Graduating from high school, Watts won a scholarship to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After graduating, Watts moved to Los Angeles, where he currently resides.[1]
Assassin's Creed[edit | edit source]
In late 2011, Watts got a call from his agent about an audition for an unnamed film set during the American Revolution. Eager to have a part in a period-piece movie, he went to the audition unaware that it was actually for Assassin's Creed III, in which he was given the part of the main protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton, or Connor, a half-British, half-Mohawk Assassin. He began his work with Ubisoft for the title in January 2012. On-set while performing the motion capture, Watts worked to convey Connor's character through his movement and body language. As Watts was not a native speaker of the Mohawk language, he needed to have a language consultant beside him feeding him the lines, which he had to get correct before moving on.[2]
The game was eventually released on 30 October 2012. Watts also voiced Ratonhnhaké:ton in Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, released on the same day, and again in Aveline, a DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag released on 29 October 2013. His voice was re-used for the remasters of Assassin's Creed III and Liberation, released together on 29 March 2019.[3]
