Kevin Butler: Introduzione

Rubrica a cura di: Riccardo "Ookami" Dilda

Benvenuti nella nuova Rubrica di e-Maki dedicata a Kevin Butler. In questo primo episodio, che funge da introduzione, metteremo tutto il materiale disponibile fino a oggi. Dal prossimo numero invece faremo episodio per episodio.

Ma chi è Kevin Butler?

Kevin Butler è un personaggio immaginario SONY interpretato dall'attore comico Jerry Lambert, e viene usato dalla sezione americana di SCE come testimonial pubblicitario per i Software e Hardware Playstation in Spot comici in puro stile americano. Il suo ruolo, sempre immaginario, è quello di Vice Presente SCEA, ogni volta diverso, e ogni volta folle.
