Ice-T voices a very unique character in the PS4, Xbox One, and PC game.

Key Points:

• Borderlands 3 adds a celebrity voice actor with Ice-T.
• The Law & Order actor plays the character BALEX, who is an AI trapped inside the body of a teddy bear.
• Ice-T first teased a role in Borderlands 3 back in March.
• The Borderlands 3 release date is September 13 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

As rumored, the actor, rapper, and heavy metal band co-founder Ice-T is voicing a character in Borderlands 3. Ice-T plays the character BALEX, an AI who is trapped inside of a teddy bear.

It's all very strange, which is in keeping with the over-the-top and humorous themes of Borderlands 3. Check out the video above to see the section of Ice-T in Borderlands 3.

Ice-T is a longtime fan of the Borderlands franchise. Back in March, he himself started an internet rumor that he would voice a character in Borderlands 3. The game's official Twitter account posted a joking reply, so it just a matter of time before this all became official as it now has.

It's not immediately clear how prominent a character BALEX is to Borderlands 3's story. GameSpot played a demo recently that introduced BALEX and saw players helping him take down his ex-wife, another AI.

One of the Borderlands franchise's most recognizable characters, Claptrap, is now voiced by Jim Foronda (Dragon Ball Z Kai) after the original actor, David Eddings, left Gearbox amid a bitter dispute with his former employer.

Ice-T has been in the Law & Order: SVU cast in a recurring role since 2000. He also co-founded the heavy metal band Body Count.
