Career
He is most recognized as the actor who played Raiden in Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, and Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Since 1995, he has worked for Midway as a motion capture artist and animator. In 1994 Pesina aided Data East United States of America on its failed attempt at a Mortal Kombat inspiration titled Tattoo Assassins.
After Midway learned of this, possibly as a punishment, Raiden (the character Carlos had played in the first two MKs) was not included in Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
Despite the bad history, however, Carlos is still employed by Midway, now Netherrealm Studios, as an Art Lead. The hidden playable character in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mokap, was created in tribute to Carlos" motion capture work at Midway.
In the Konquest Mode of Mortal Kombat: Deception, the protagonist, Shujinko, has to do a quest for the ruler of Orderrealm. The ruler states that Shujinko needs to find an agent named "Parlos Casina," a spoonerism on Pesina"s name, most likely celebrating his importance to the series.
Pesina appeared in a videogame-based comedy film entitled Press Start.
His character is named Lei Gong, the Chinese equivalent of Raiden.
