“Participações especiais surpreendentes na 1ª temporada de Fallout no Prime Video”
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the first season of Fallout available on Prime Video.
Summary
The TV series Fallout has surprised viewers with the unexpected appearance of actors in surprising roles. Original characters bring a new freshness to Season 1 of Fallout, combining humor and serious moments for a unique experience. Special appearances by famous faces such as Michael Rapaport and Fred Armisen add an extra touch of interest to the Fallout universe in Amazon's adaptation.
Amazon's Fallout series features both lesser-known actors and established stars, while introducing more recognizable faces in secondary roles throughout the plot. Many actors who play small roles in the Fallout cast are a pleasant surprise when they appear. Despite having a good sense of humor, Fallout is not strictly a comedy, which makes it all the more surprising that many of the show's guest stars have comedic backgrounds. However, not all of them were cast to provide comic relief.
The Fallout universe allows a variety of interesting characters to appear in the Wasteland and other areas of the world map. By the end of Season 1 of Fallout, it's clear that Amazon's adaptation of the Bethesda game series isn't afraid to introduce new characters just for the sake of recognizing the actor playing them. However, the show never goes for shock value for the sake of it, as all of Fallout's high-profile guest stars bring something valuable to the show.
The Amazon series is set at the most recent point in the Fallout timeline, which means that many of the characters in the production have never appeared in the video game franchise. As such, the guest stars who take part in their respective appearances are largely given a great deal of creative freedom to establish an in-universe personality that doesn't get in the way of the gameplay branch of the Fallout franchise. Some Fallout guest appearances are little more than fun, while others feature characters who are essential to the overall plot.
The Fallout TV series draws on its video game origins and also introduces new consumables into Amazon's adaptation to create a sense of originality.
5. Michael Rapaport as the Knight Titus: Titus didn't live up to Maximus' expectations
As a member of Fallout's Brotherhood of Steel, Knight Titus begins as an imposing figure whose face is hidden for most of his only episode. Titus is played by actor and comedian Michael Rapaport. Although Rapaport has played roles in several comedic and dramatic productions, including My Name is Earl and Justified, his most famous character is undoubtedly Gary from Friends, despite only playing the fictional cop in four episodes in 1999.
In Fallout, Titus and the other Knights are admired by aspiring Brotherhood members, including Maximus. An unfortunate truth about Titus' false reputation is revealed in episode 2 of Fallout's first season, "The Target", when Rapaport's character runs away from an irradiated bear instead of standing his ground and fighting as a Brotherhood of Steel Knight is expected to do.
Titus proves to be cruel and cowardly by insulting Maximus while asking for a Stimpak to heal his wounds.
The revelation that Knight Titus is played by Michael Raport is a welcome surprise for fans of his work, and the presence of a comic actor cleverly fools the audience into believing that the next sequel will be funnier than it is. Instead, Titus proves to be cruel and cowardly as he insults Maximus while asking for a Stimpak to heal his wounds. Titus is a central character in Maximus' journey, with the latter inheriting the former's power armor and even operating under his name for a short time.
4. Fred Armisen as DJ Carl: DJ Carl is a perfect role for Fred Arimsen
Fred Armisen is best known for his improv work and sketches during his long run on Saturday Night Live. Whenever Armisen gets a role outside the series that launched him to success, his characters tend to be irreverent and eccentric. For example, Fred Armisen's guest appearances on New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are perfect encapsulations of his type of comedy, and DJ Carl continues this trend. Carl is perhaps a little less eccentric than some of Arimsen's previous roles, but he manages to make his small part just as captivating.
DJ Carl dirige uma torre de rádio e, potencialmente, até possui e mora nela. Pelo seu entusiasmo ao mostrar a Thaddeus a gravação abrasiva de alguns instrumentos de corda, Carl parece ser tão audiófilo quanto viver em um deserto pós-apocalíptico permite. Ao explicar a Thaddeus o que torna a música tão agradável, Carl diz a ele que ninguém aprecia o fato de serem as “gravações originais”, mas ele nunca especifica do que são as gravações originais. Isso implica que Carl não sabe ou está apenas ocultando informações para tornar o cenário confuso, o que é muito característico dos personagens anteriores de Armisen.
From his enthusiasm when showing Thaddeus the abrasive recording of some stringed instruments, Carl seems to be as much of an audiophile as living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland allows.
Uma placa grande e colorida declara que a torre de rádio do DJ Carl transmite uma estação chamada “KPSS”. Não está claro até onde chega o sinal da torre, mas é pelo menos suficiente para Thaddeus entrar em contato com a Irmandade para solicitar a extração. DJ Carl parece estar ciente da ameaça que Wasteland pode representar, pois se esconde quando fica claro que Thaddeus está prestes a lutar com Maximus e Lucy. Carl também tem o terreno ao redor de sua torre repleto de armadilhas.
Fred Armisen's special appearance as DJ Carl is in episode 7 of the first season of Fallout, "The Radio".
3. Chris Parnell as Supervisor Benjamin: The leader of Vault 4 is fair almost to the extreme
Parnell se junta a seu ex-colega do Saturday Night Live, Fred Armisen, para desempenhar um papel no mundo de Fallout. Embora o papel de Armisen seja estritamente fazer o público rir, o personagem Fallout de Chris Parnell ocupa um lugar muito mais atraente na tradição da série. O Supervisor Benjamin é o líder do Vault 4, que é uma comunidade pouco convencional quando comparada com outros grupos de Vault Dwellers. Os habitantes do Vault 4, incluindo Benajmin, são descendentes de Surface Dwellers que foram experimentados pela primeira onda de cidadãos do Vault – que eram cientistas.
Although Benjamin is too young to have taken part in the coup that prevented the scientists from experimenting on his ancestors, he is well aware of the tumultuous history of Vault 4. He has strong opinions about the surface dwellers and talks a lot about their smells and customs, but he is not cruel in the way he interacts with Lucy or Maximus. Benjamin has an eye in the middle of his face as a result of the experiments carried out on his ancestors and still claims that the Gulper from level 12 is his great-uncle.
O supervisor Benjamin é um papel perfeito para Chris Parnell causar impacto e ao mesmo tempo não ofuscar o elenco principal de Fallout. O carisma natural do ator torna mais fácil para ele roubar os holofotes sem esforço, então, embora ele tenha a chance de brilhar como Benjamin, ele é usado com moderação. Parnell aparece em episódios consecutivos na 1ª temporada de Fallout: episódio 6, “The Trap”, e episódio 7, “The Radio”. Comparado com algumas das outras participações especiais de Fallout, Parnell tem permissão para fazer uma contribuição bastante grande para o show.
2. Matt Berry as Sebastian Leslie / Snip Snip: Snip Snip's personality is based on a character played by Sebastian Leslie
Matt Berry is unique among Fallout's special appearances in that he is allowed to play more than one character. His instantly recognizable voice is introduced to the show in Fallout's first season, episode 4, "The Ghouls", when the nefarious Mr. Handy robot named Snip Snip enters the fray. Berry's characteristic comic vibe works brilliantly for Snip Snip, because although the robot initially seems friendly and even caring, it is revealed soon after that he has been repurposed for non-consensual organ harvesting. As such, Berry's silky tones leaving such an evil machine heightens the fear factor in relation to what Lucy almost endures.
Berry também tem um pequeno papel na primeira temporada de Fallout, episódio 1, “The End”, como um robô Mr. Handy que pode ou não ser Snip Snip antes de ser reprogramado.
A origem da voz de Snip Snip é explicada no episódio 6 da primeira temporada de Fallout, “The Trap”, quando Matty Berry também aparece pessoalmente como o ator fictício Sebastian Leslie antes das bombas caírem. Durante uma troca com Cooper Howard de Walter Goggins, Sebastian revela que vendeu seus direitos vocais para “Aquele robô giratório que eles vendem para donas de casa e pervertidos” por “US$ 186.000, antes dos impostos”. Ele também recebeu um robô Mr. Handy como parte do acordo.
Although Sebastian provides the voice model for all the Mr. Handy robots produced by General Atomics International, he doesn't do it as himself. Instead, Sebastian is known in the Fallout universe for playing a character known as a butler called Codsworth, and so Mr. Handy's artificial personality is actually modeled on Codsworth, rather than on Sebastian Leslie, the actor. Interestingly, this also links Sebastian Leslie to the Fallout video games, as Mr. Handy robots appear throughout the franchise.
1. Michael Emerson as Dr. Siggi Wilzig: Dr. Wilzig's presence in Fallout goes beyond Emerson's episode
Michael Emerson's Fallout character is so deeply rooted in the plot of the series that it seems unusual not to include him as part of the main cast. However, Dr. Siggi Wilzig only really appears in the first season of Fallout, episode 2, "The Target". As such, it's more accurate to describe Dr. Siggi Wilzig's only appearance as an extended cameo by Emerson. Fans of Lost will be among the most likely to recognize the actor, with Emerson appearing in 81 episodes of the series, as well as 103 episodes of Person of Interest.
Dr. Wilzig is an incredibly intelligent and deeply compassionate man. The scientist puts his life on the line not only to save the pragmatically named CX404, but also contributes to the death of a man in defense of the dog, while demonstrating a willingness to flee the safety of the facilities that have kept him safe while working. Wilzig's time in Wasteland is short, for although he had a plan to reach Lee Moldaver and the rest of the New California Republic, the Ghoul had other ideas when he shot the doctor in the foot in Filly.
Although Emerson only portrays Dr. Wilzig in a single episode of Fallout, the character and Emerson's image continue to appear in a new form throughout the rest of the show. Dr. Wilzig's severed head becomes the most sought-after item in the Wasteland. The head, which decomposes as the episodes progress, contains a key part of his research into cold fusion. Not only that, but the head is also modeled on Michael Emerson, making his presence on Amazon's Fallout TV show seem far beyond "The Target".
The first season of Fallout is available to stream in its entirety on Prime Video.
