"The Hellboy actor has had character roles in some of the games but is most known for narrating the openings in which he outlines the geopolitical rivalries that precipitated a mass nuclear war. "In 2077, the storm of world war had come again," he says at the beginning of Fallout 1. "In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.""
"He seems to barely even remember narrating the now iconic line "War. War never changes" when the first game launched back in 1997. "They invited me to do the very first Fallout back in the '90s, I think," he said on the podcast. "They gave me $40 and a sandwich. And a year and a half later, I get a call. 'Hey, you remember Fallout?' 'No.'""
"Fallout is now not just one of the biggest game series around but also one of the most popular TV shows on streaming thanks to the Amazon Prime adaptation. "I didn't see that coming," Perlman notes. He hasn't appeared in the show yet, and there's no indication that he will be, but it would be pretty cool. Season 3 starts filming later this year so there's plenty of time to make it happen."
Ron Perlman has voiced characters in every Fallout game while never playing any of them. He narrated the franchise's iconic opening line "War. War never changes" for the 1997 original. Perlman received minimal compensation for the initial recording, reportedly about $40 and a sandwich, and did not investigate the game's content. The narration outlines pre-war geopolitical rivalries and the nuclear devastation that shapes the series' setting. Fallout has grown into a major game franchise and a widely watched Amazon Prime television adaptation. Perlman has not appeared in the TV show to date, and Season 3 begins filming later this year.
