I adore this character, she surprises me. Taylor had no idea how big Halo would be until she saw the excitement for Halo 2, but she always enjoyed playing Cortana as she told GamesRadar, " Each game I felt like I got to know her better because I would have a year or two or three in between, and I would have to reacquaint myself with my little friend. She's actually voiced the part since the first Halo game in 2001, and her return in Paramount+'s live-action adaptation is a smart continuity nod. Voice actress Jen Taylor reprises the role of Cortana.
#Actor who plays master chief in halo tv
Naturally, the Master Chief is a more fleshed-out character in the TV series, and hence he'll be taking off his mask to help people consider him as a character. The original Halo games are first-person shooters, and the Master Chief avoids removing his helmet simply because players are supposed to be able to imagine they're actually Spartan-117. One key difference between Schreiber's portrayal and the Master Chief of the games, however, is that his Spartan will take his helmet off outside of action situations. It’s a challenge to manipulate a cumbersome costume and find ways to shoot it so it looks like you’re super capable." The costume design is seriously impressive, an almost perfect match for the Spartan armor from the Halo games. " It’s 50 pounds of plastic and the suit is meant to make you superhuman," Schreiber observed in one interview. Naturally, Schreiber spends most of his time in the Mjolnir armor prop suit - but he'll still be glad for the work he's put in, because the suit weighs 50 pounds.



The actor has bulked up for the role, teaming up with celebrated Hollywood personal trainer Eddie Raburn to put together a strict training regimen. Pablo Schreiber ( American Gods, Orange is the New Black) stars as the Master Chief, John-117.
