Actor Macaulay Culkin is among the new cast members for Fallout Season 2, stepping into the role of a solider in Caesar’s Legion. He said in a new interview that he doesn’t have much experience playing the Fallout games, but he’s well-versed in the Fallout lore thanks to YouTube videos.
“I’m very familiar with the lore,” the Home Alone star told IGN. “For sure. I’ve less hands-on experience with the games themselves, but that being said, I knew what I was walking into. When we [Culkin and actress Brenda Song] were watching the show, I would pause it for her and catch her up on like, ‘Oh, that’s what this means, or that means, or that kind of thing.’ Even some of the subtle subtext of the show.”
Culkin, 45, said he’s too busy these days to try to play video games, so he “watched a lot of YouTube stuff” for Fallout.
