Bungie makes the right call with a tough situation, as they have recast Lance Reddick’s Zavala with a new actor.
TLDR: It’s Keith David
they did it before with Peter Dinklebot. Although he didn’t die.
That situation was bizarre. Peter Dinklage is an amazing actor who either phoned it in hard in Destiny, or he was given really bad direction by a director. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt, since I have never seen him with such a poor performance in anything.
And then with Cayde 6/Nathan Fillion, I assume he was too expensive to bring back, so they killed his character in a fucking trailer for a DLC and briefly recast him for the two missions he had lines in in said DLC.
I was sort of expecting them to go the direction of Cayde 6, instead of Dinklebot.
I agree that Dinklebot’s performance was not inspiring at all. Most audiobooks I listen too had more emotion and energy.
Every time he delivered a line, you could just imagine him in a dark room alone with one small lamp on the desk, with some reading glasses, reading the script for the first time into a microphone.
Weird thing is that Fillion is back as Cayde in the final shape promos.
