Interesting actor Pablo Schreiber to play boring hero Master Chief in Showtime's Halo show
Among the grand pantheon of boring-ass video game protagonists, few are more resolutely, implacably dull than Halo’s helmeted, hollow Master Chief. A faceless holster for a wide array of space guns that effortlessly outpace him in the personality stakes, the Chief is, when you break down the various entries in the massively successful Halo series, little more than a camera, a trigger finger, and an occasional, half-hearted attempt to make a quip or trade sexy banter with his robot girlfriend. All of which should make for an interesting challenge for Orange Is The New Black and American Gods star Pablo Schreiber, who’s just signed on to star as the “character” in Showtime’s TV adaptation of the Microsoft-owned first-person-shooter blockbuster.
