Disney Actress Secretly Voiced This Metal Gear Solid Character

As a dedicated fan of the Metal Gear Solid series since its inception, this revelation about Jodi Benson’s secret role as Eva in Snake Eater has left me utterly astounded! It’s like discovering Ariel had a top-secret double life as an undercover agent! The fact that she used her beloved childhood dog’s name as a pseudonym only adds to the charm.


It’s long been speculated among fans that the actress who voiced Eva in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the same one who played Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid. At the time, she was credited only as Suzetta Miñet, an actress with no other roles listed under that name. However, as we approach the release of the MGS 3 remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Jodi Benson has publicly revealed herself to be the voice behind Eva.

In the latest addition to Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Legacy Series, Benson appears alongside her co-star David Hayter (as Naked Snake). During this video, Benson explains why she adopted a pseudonym for her portrayal of a character that was significantly different from her usual, wholesome role as Ariel.

As a gamer, I’ve found that the initiatives I’m involved in professionally are like a close-knit gaming clan, focusing on both seasoned players and newcomers. One day, our voice director, Kris Zimmerman Salter, suggested we might need to rebrand me, saying something like, “Perhaps it’s time for a fresh alias.

According to Benson, Slater inquired about the name of his childhood dog, which was Suzette Monet. Slater proposed that Benson use the same first name for his gaming alias, and alter the last name to Miñet.

Benson and Hayter too divulged how they captured Eva and Snake’s love sequences within the game. Since they recorded their parts individually, their on-screen kisses were enacted by them pressing their lips against their own hands. Every bit of their voice acting from MGS 3 remains in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, including the lip-smacking sounds.

While Konami hasn’t announced an exact release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, it’s anticipated that the game will come out in 2025. Regrettably, it seems unlikely that there will be another remake of the original Metal Gear Solid. The only other Metal Gear Solid projects being worked on at the moment are Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 and the new version of Snake Eater, but neither have been given a specific release date yet.
