Bethesda’s Todd Howard is the steward of the company’s popular Fallout franchise, and many might have reasonably assumed he would have a cameo in the Prime Video TV show. He did not in Season 1 and does not have one in Season 2, either. But why?
Howard told IGN that he has been offered “a whole bunch” of cameo opportunities for the Fallout show, one of which was a doctor role at Vault-Tec. But Howard declined that opportunity and all others. “I think I’m best behind the camera,” he said.
Howard went on to say he’s rejected all cameo pitches because he does not want to draw focus away from the storytelling, even if it would only be for a small moment.
