Captain John Price is a character from the Call of Duty series of video games published by Activision. First appearing in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), he is the commander of Task Force 141, a fictional Special Air Service unit. He has subsequently appeared in every other game in the Modern Warfare sub-series, including the reboot series started in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). In the original trilogy, he is voiced by Billy Murray; in the reboot series, he is voiced by Barry Sloane.
Captain Price is based on another character named Captain Price, which appeared in the original Call of Duty (2003), set in World War II. When designing the character for Call of Duty 4, the development team overhauled the original design from the 2003 game, incorporating elements such as a thousand yard stare, a damaged boonie hat, and a receding hairline. Price has been widely considered the most iconic character in the Call of Duty series, and has been considered by some to be one of the most iconic video game characters. Critics have praised his role in the series, and the character has ranked on reader polls for the best video game characters of all time.
