Kurt Russel from "Escape from New York" and "Escape from LA", the voice is even the same, and he even has the mullet and eyepatch and poorly shaven whiskers. It's astonishing how much is barrowed from these John Carpenter classics, I recommend any MGS fan view these films right away.
compare to
Not as if they were trying to hide anything considering snake's effing codename in big shell (mgs2) is "Pliskin"
it's pointed out here in an article/trivia thing I found too

Both movies have countless influences to what later became MGS not to mention they are fun films, so go see them.

This chapter begins on April 29, 2009, as players then find themselves in control of Raiden. Raiden is operating under FOX-HOUND to rescue the President and other hostages from the "Big Shell," a decontamination facility constructed two years ago to clean up the oil spilled during the sinking of the Discovery. He is aided by Colonel Campbell as mission command, Rose (Raiden's girlfriend; one of many movie spoofs; Jack and Rose from "Titanic") as data management, and a number of other on-site specialists, including SEAL Team 10 Lt. JG Iroquois Pliskin (instantly recognizable as Solid Snake in mufti; (another film reference, this time to Kurt Russell's character Snake Plissken from the "Escape from L.A." and "Escape from New York" movies). The party responsible for seizing the Big Shell is the Navy's Dead Cell terrorist-attack-simulation group (who were modeled after the real-life Red Cell (http://www.specialoperations.com/Navy/Red_Cell/Default.htm) unit), aided by Shalashaska and led by a man who calls himself Solid Snake but is actually Solidus Snake, the third of the Snake clones and a "well-balanced masterpiece."
