Seth Green heads up Mass Effect cast

by Justin McElroy { Oct 18th 2007 at 3:56PM }

Attention nerds: Do not think for a moment that casting of Seth Green in a prominent role in Mass Effect is in any way a cynical ploy for geek cred or your attention. Yes, Green may have appeared in Robot Chicken, Idle Hands, Family Guy, Batman Beyond, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Angel ... hmm. OK, so maybe it's a little bit of a ploy. But Green's also a fine comedic actor, so it's not like he was only cast because it's a statistical certainty that his wallet holds at least one dollar that formerly belonged to you.

Green is playing the sarcastic pilot role of Joker in the sci-fi RPG (not The Joker, sorry fanfic kids), but he's not sure he'll be playing the game. "I'm really bad with video games," he said. "Like I honestly just have no skill. And it's sad. I would love to play, but for some reason my hand-eye coordination doesn't work well these types of games." So ... does this mean no quick-time events in Play the Industry?

Mc Elroy I demand you change this picture to one of his weird drag outfits from party monster. The troll costume will do just fine.-wicker

FrankTheCrank @ Oct 18th 2007 4:07PM

Hey, it's Dr. Evil's kid.

I will build a *shrine* to Mass Effect if at any point in the game Joker asks you "Why don't you just shoot him?".

nerrrrrrd @ Oct 18th 2007 4:09PM

He will be the first victim of my intergalatic friendly fire killing spree... then I'll be macking on alien chicks.

T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Oct 18th 2007 4:12PM

Is it because he isnt local? How much hand eye do you need for a rpg?

nerrrrrrd @ Oct 18th 2007 4:18PM

You people are all alike, You march in here, young! try and touch the local things. I suppose next you'll be spraying me with one of those cans of paint, smearing poor Tubbs here with excrement!

Haha, I was thinking the same thing.

I guess that makes us nerds, huh?

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 18th 2007 4:23PM

That's pretty awesome!!!

Robot Chicken>>>>>>>>>Family Guy

j.R @ Oct 18th 2007 4:25PM

Ok fine, but if there's one freakin Masters of the Universe reference in the game, I'm gonna start throwing punches at my tv!

AndrewNeo @ Oct 18th 2007 4:29PM

"Appeared" in Robot Chicken?
Try "created" Robot Chicken.

blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring) @ Oct 18th 2007 4:57PM

and he does almost every voice

Hirsbrunner @ Oct 18th 2007 4:34PM

"Green is playing the sarcastic...role"

Wow...that's a stretch for him.

Jim @ Oct 18th 2007 5:14PM

Seth Green... perrrrrrfect!

Dio @ Oct 18th 2007 5:29PM

LEAVE CHRIS CROCKER ALOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

lulz, I don't believe that he has bad hand-eye coordination. If he did then he would be extremely bad at stop animation. I just don't think he will want to play the game that he appears in.

Anticrawl @ Oct 18th 2007 6:14PM

Heh I knew this before they announced it. His voice in those trailers is so obvious.

Sam @ Oct 18th 2007 7:07PM

Hmm i'll go check some trailers out then see if i recognise his voice

Did i mention i love this little dude?

Seriously...it may just be because he always plays cool character and he looks like a slightly sexier version of myself but...seriously...i would do that little guy.

Anticrawl @ Oct 19th 2007 3:16AM

Oh no question, Seth is one sexy little guy haha. If I was skinny, short, caucasian and had red hair and pastie skin I'd look just like him. In all seriousness though I think he has that disorder that makes him look younger than he really is. Know a girl with it, she's 21 but looks like shes 15-16. Got bugged by a cop once when kissin on her boyfriend in public, dude thought it was an older guy makin out with a minor, was a real dick about it.

Rob @ Oct 12th 2009 2:30PM

not to mention Xfiles

elmersglue @ Oct 19th 2007 1:17AM

Love this guy, so this is great

I met Seth Green on the set of "Enemy of the State," when I was in the Cullinary School in Baltimore MD. He was sitting on the steps outside the main building waiting for his directions but I was stupid back then and didn't realize who he really was. He also told me that he played the part of the funny dude in Scream and he signed my research paper that I got 100% on. Oh Yeah I also met Will Smith, Gene Hackman, John Voight, and I also bumped into Jerry Bruckhiemer, not litterally though. If you see Enemy of the State again pay attention to the scene where Gene Hackman plays the part of a cop talking to John Voight's character on the other side of the fence which was made to look like a police station, you will notice the brick building in the backround, that was the school I went too. another cool part is in that scene it was raining and there was no clowd in the sky so they had to pump water through these tubes suspended in the air to create the illusion that it was raining. The next game that I was going to get was Lynch and Cain but after finding out that Seth played a role in Mass Effect I am getting that game instead even though I hate RPGs.
