 ===Development===
-Lazarus' design is based on Brad Pitt, which can be seen in his concept art.
+According to [[Jason Wilson]], who served as Art Director and Concept Artist on ''Ghosthunter'', Lazarus' initial designs were based on Brad Pitt's look in the film ''[[wikipedia:Fight Club|Fight Club]]''.<ref name="wilson">{{Cite web|site=JASON WILSON - PORTFOLIO|title=Art Direction - Concept Art|url=http://jasonwilson-folio.blogspot.com/p/concept-art-examples.html|retrieved=June 30, 2023}}</ref>
+===Portrayal===
+Lazarus is voiced by [[wikipedia:Rob Paulsen|Rob Paulsen]] in English. Wilson suggested that the French film star [[wikipedia:Vincent Cassel|Vincent Cassel]] should voice Lazarus in the French version of the game. In order to get the actor excited, Wilson created comic-style storyboards of key moments from the game which were translated into French. Cassel found the project fun.<ref name="wilson"/>
