He stayed there until the age of 20, when he moved to Hollywood.
Career
In the early 1990s, Hayter appeared in an episode of the sitcom Major Dad, but he soon became interested in voice acting and later secured the role of Captain America in the famous 1994 Spider-Man animated film. In addition, Arsène Lupin III appeared in the English version of the anime film The Castle of Cagliostro and Tamahome's English translation of the anime film Fushigi Ygi. Sean Barker, the protagonist, appeared in Guyver: Dark Hero, a 1994 film directed by Jack Armstrong; Hayter has since gone on to use the character's name as an alias in several work credits;
In the 1998 video game Metal Gear Solid Snake, Hayter began delivering the English voice of Metal Gear series protagonist Solid Snake, which also served as the series's transition from 2D to 3D. Hayter will continue to perform Solid Snake and his progenitor Naked Snake in all subsequent installments (including spinoffs, re-releases, and remakes) up to and including Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (2010). Hayter appears in one of the original television shows before starting Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008); where he wears the "Solid Eye," the game's technologically advanced eye patch worn by the main character. Hayter also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008), outside of the Metal Gear series.
Hayter has also appeared in other video game titles, such as Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Star Wars: The Old Republic, as a result of his Metal Gear series. "Kojima and I have different designs," he said, "but I have certainly learned a lot from him," he referred to as a source of inspiration on his screenwriting.
Hayter is one of the few Metal Gear actors to have played and completed the games in which he appeared. Hayter gave up half of his own money in order to bring back the original Metal Gear Solids cast from the 2004 remake Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, according to Paul Eiding.
Hayter said he was not asked to reprise as the main character in this sequel after the unveiling of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in the 2013 Game Developers Conference. When Konami revealed that Kiefer Sutherland would be the character's voice on E3 this year, it was later revealed. Hayter has since revealed in an interview that he had to re-audition for the role, implying that Hideo Kojima, the series's creator, was already considering recasting the role, with Kurt Russell (Snake Plissken in Escape from New York and Escape from Los Angeles) being offered the role during the production of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004).
Hayter would reprise his role in a Metal Gear Solid-themed commercial for the 2016 Ford Focus SE, which aired in 2016. Hayter's voice was present in two video games: Super Bomberman R (which included two playable characters based on both Solid Snake and Naked Snake in an update) and Super Smash Bros in 2018. Ultimate.
He wrote the screenplay for X-Men's film version in 2000, and then went on to co-write the screenplay for the sequel X2 with writing team Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris. Hayter was hired to write and direct a project based on the heroine Black Widow shortly after his work on X-Men. However, Marvel declined Hayter due to the fact that similar themed films starring female vigilante protagonists were still in production, saying, "We don't think it's time to do this film." Natasha, Hayter's daughter who was born while writing the Black Widow script, is named after the titular character.
Alan Moore and David Gibbons' adaptation of the graphic novel Watchmen also wrote a book adaptation by Hayter. Moore, who is known for his rash interpretations of his works to film, said of the script, "David Hayter's screenplay was as close as I could imagine anyone seeing [a film version of] Watchmen." I will not be attending the film, but I doubt I will be able to see it. My book is a comedic book. Not a film, not a novel. This is a comedic book. It's been made in a specific way and intended to be read in a specific way." Hayter and writer Alex Tse gave the screenplay credit for the final script. Tse drew "the best elements" from two of Hayter's earlier drafts. The script did not keep Hayter's contemporary setting, but instead took the original Cold War setting of the Watchmen comic. Warner Bros. was attracted to the 1980s setting, and the producer also included a title montage sequence to introduce the audience to the events of an alternate history United States during that time period.

Hayter will be writing the series's story bible and pilot episode as well as producing and acting as showrunner.
Hayter revealed on September 28, 2018, he was co-writing and directing the forthcoming Netflix series Warrior Nun Areala, based on the 1994 comic book series Warrior Nun Areala, with Simon Barry as the series creator and showrunner. On Netflix, Season 1 debuted on July 2, 2020.
