season 2.
With the success of Fallout season 1 owing largely to its memorable ensemble, gamers-turned-viewers are already speculating about which actors from the Fallout games could play their own characters in the show. Although the retrofuturistic world of Fallout remains the same throughout its many franchise entries, each game in the series takes place during different stages of Fallout‘s post-apocalyptic timeline and in various locations throughout the former United States. Set 219 years after the bombs drop, Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout unfolds after all the franchise’s preexisting games, making it perfect for cameo appearances.
For the most part, Fallout‘s cast of characters in season 1 were original personalities created for the show, from the ever-determined Vault Dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell) to the ruthless bounty hunter The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) to Brotherhood of Steel initiate Maximus (Aaron Moten). In Fallout season 1’s ending, the show indicates that its sophomore outing will take place in New Vegas — the setting for one of the most beloved games in the series. As a result, some of the Fallout series’ most famous cameos could make the leap to the TV adaptation too.
13 Clancy Brown
Rhombus
A prolific voice performer and live-action actor, Clancy Brown has appeared in everything from SpongeBob SquarePants to Shawshank Redemption. Set to star in Max’s upcoming The Batman spinoff, The Penguin, Brown has also lent his talents to cult classics like HBO’s Carnivale. In Fallout, Brown voices Brotherhood of Steel knight Rhombus, the Lost Hills chapter’s head paladin. Stoic and gruff, Rhombus could easily be portrayed by Clancy Brown in the live-action series too, especially if the sophomore outing delves deeper into the Brotherhood of Steel’s vision for the Wasteland.

Prime Video’s long-awaited Fallout TV series adaptation knows its viewers well — and it isn’t afraid to give them a Vault Boy-style wink.
12 Ron Perlman
The Narrator / Butch Harris
Most well known by Fallout fans for being the voice of the series’ disembodied narrator, it’s kind of shocking that Ron Perlman’s voice didn’t make it into the Amazon Prime Video adaptation, even if Perlman’s most iconic Fallout quote did. The Hellboy actor voiced the opening and closing narrations for Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 76 and Fallout Tactics, though he also lent his talents to portraying onscreen characters, including Fallout‘s Butch Harris and a newscaster in Fallout 4. While the Fallout TV show is packed with Easter eggs, a Ron Perlman cameo is a must.
11 Richard Dean Anderson
Killian Darkwater
The mayor of Junktown in 2161, Fallout‘s Killian Darkwater also runs the community’s general store and heads up their defensive forces. As the player character comes to learn during the game’s side quests, Killian has a strong sense of “frontier justice,“ making him a pretty compelling Wastelander. He’s also voiced by a pretty compelling actor: Richard Dean Anderson, who’s most well-known for playing the original MacGyver. Given the Fallout series’ love of all things retro, and its on-point references to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, Anderson would be a fun get.

11 Biggest Changes Amazon’s Fallout Show Makes To The Video Games
The Fallout show serves as the newest canon entry to the franchise, but it also went back to change several elements of the established lore.
10 Brad Garrett
Harry
Comedian and actor Brad Garrett is pretty synonymous with the Ray Romano-led sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, though he’s also lent his singular voice to animated projects like Finding Nemo and Ratatouille. While the post-apocalyptic Fallout may seem like a stretch for Garrett, his comedy chops could easily work for the show’s dark humor and offbeat sensibility. Better yet, he’s voiced Fallout‘s Harry, a super mutant stationed in the watershed in Necropolis. Although he’s mentioned again in Fallout 2, Harry has yet to reappear in the series, but he’d be a great addition to the TV show’s ensemble.
9 Liam Neeson
James
The Taken actor might be associated with his action roles and Star Wars appearances, but he also memorably voices the protagonist’s father in Fallout 3.

5 James Urbaniak
Doctor 0
While James Urbaniak has starred in searing comedies like Difficult People, the actor also appears in dramatic film and TV projects, from Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning Oppenheimer to The Fabelmans. In the world of Fallout: New Vegas, Urbaniak voices Doctor 0, a pre-War scientist and member of the Think Tank operating in Big MT.

3 Ashly Burch
Tina De Luca, Rowdy Or Cricket
One of the stars of Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest, Ashly Burch is perhaps even more well known for her video game voice work. In addition to lending her talents to Fallout, the Emmy-winning Burch has voiced Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, Chloe Price in the Life Is Strange series, Mel in The Last of Us Part II, and Tiny Tina in the Borderlands series.

Carver Timmerman

1 Wayne Newton
Mr. New Vegas
One of the most popular singers in the US during the 20th century, Wayne Newton has performed in Las Vegas, Nevada since the early ’60s — a feat that earned him the moniker “Mr. Las Vegas.” In a funny homage to Newton’s success, the singer voices Mr. New Vegas in Fallout: New Vegas, an AI personality who serves as the city’s DJ.
Fallout season 1 is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
