The presence of Ron Perlman would have made it even better.
Considering that the first game in the series was released in 1997, Fallout has always had a layered lore since its inception. From vibrant characters to the details that make the dystopian world come to life, there are many aspects to go through to understand what the universe has to offer. Which have been developed over years, so expecting the Prime Video show’s creator, Jonah Nolan, to fit everything into one season wouldn’t have been fair.
Why Prime Video’s Fallout Didn’t Feature an Important Cameo
Fitting every aspect of the Fallout franchise into Prime Video’s first season wouldn’t have been possible.
There’s a lot of content that executive producer Jonah Nolan tried to cover in the first season of Prime Video’s take on the game universe, and for the most part, he succeeds with the help of clever Easter eggs and world-building that fans of the franchise will probably appreciate.
With Walton Goggins’ Ghoul stealing every scene he’s a part of, the Fallout show features plenty of instantly recognizable star power, such as Matt Berry providing his talent to three different characters in these eight episodes.
But there was one cameo that the OG fanbase would’ve expected in the series due to how much history the actor shares with the franchise: Ron Perlman.
“There are so many treasures in these games that I think some of the characters, some of the factions, some of the locations, we didn’t want to try to tackle everything in one season,” answered Jonah Nolan during an interview with IGN when asked about why Perlman, who’s been an integral part of Fallout since the first game, didn’t make an appearance in the Prime Video show.
Nolan shared that during his discussions with Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the co-creators of the first season, “pace yourselves” has been a crucial point because it’s not possible to “tackle every single part of this universe in one go.”The scope is a major reason why Bethesda head Todd Howard agreed that to properly adapt this world, a television series works better than a film.
Perlman Has Been Associated With Fallout Since the First Game
Perlman has appeared in every mainline Fallout game, along with the major spinoff titles.
The absence of Perlman in the first season of Fallout is especially felt because of his long association with the franchise, as he’s been a part of every mainline game as the Narrator.
However, that’s not all, because the actor has provided his voice for some of the important spinoff titles as well, including New Vegas and 76, so it makes sense for him to make an appearance in Nolan’s second season, which has already been greenlit.
It remains to be seen how Perlman will be incorporated into the story; maybe he plays an alternative version of his Butch Harris character from the 1997 game, but his inclusion is something fans will probably expect from the show’s next outing.
