Halo’s Pablo Schreiber on the ups and downs of playing Master Chief
If you’re curious, “not that heavy” for Schreiber means the armour weighs “about 55 pounds, 23-24 kilos or something like that.”
Will we ever get to see Chief’s face? Yes. A lot.
But before that, there’s a lot of shooting to do.
“Is this pointing the right way? Can’t see.”
WHILE ACTOR PABLO SCHREIBER dabbled with comic books as a teenager in British Columbia, Canada – the first ones he fell in love with were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and ElfQuest, before “the whole expanded universe of X-Men, Wolverine being my favourite character” – he didn’t follow that up with becoming a fan of sci-fi.
Sport eventually took over, and now he says that it’s drama that holds his interest. “I just like really strong writing, that’s what pulls me in the most as a viewer,” he tells Red Alert. “A lot of the work that I’ve done has been outside of my specific tastes as a viewer. It’s cool, because it exposes me to different worlds.”
