The dossier

The broken cop of Detroit

Hank Anderson masks his profound depression behind sarcasm, alcohol, and a deep hatred for androids. He is a brilliant detective who simply no longer cares if he lives or dies, until his assigned partner forces him to engage with the world.

Clancy Brown provides incredible voice and motion-capture work for the role. He brings intense emotional weight to Hank’s journey, slowly shifting from outright hostility to genuine fatherly affection for his android partner, Connor.

The dynamic between Hank and Connor is the undisputed highlight of Detroit: Become Human. Hank is a beautiful exploration of healing, proving that empathy can reboot even the most broken human heart.
