Sam Lake: To me Ilkka Villi is physical actor of Alan Wake and Matthew Porretta is the voice of Alan Wake. That is who Alan Wake is. There was never any question of Alan Wake being portrayed by anyone else.

Matthew Porretta: This is how it works: Ilkka would paint a picture and then he'll send it to me, and then I'll paint a little bit on a picture and then I send it back to him. There's this kind of collaboration we do. And it's very rare that you see us in the same place together. It's singular and it's ours.
