It felt more like theater, like playing in a playground that is truthful and real but having to get beyond the technological filming part of it to allow myself to shine and soar. For "Far Cry 6," this is completely using every part of my acting ability with equipment on and in a specific suit, where you’re actually filmed facially and physically. The mic has a quality that I could be tricking someone into displaying the emotion that I am. How did this compare to those experiences, and how did you adjust?ĮSPOSITO: When I’m on the mic I feel a little anonymous. It’s a great example of something new, different, and technologically ahead of his time.ĭN: You’ve been in films and television roles, and you’ve also voiced over characters in several animated shows, so you’ve been on the mic too. To me my mind is blown at a futuristic game that can give a template of a world that we have lived in. It’s a future that actors are increasingly diving into (see: Shawn Ashmore in "Quantum Break" and Norman Reedus and many others in "Death Stranding"), and Esposito gets why. And it’s from this vantage point, Esposito says, that he’s come to believe in the unique storytelling future that today’s video games provide. It’s from this perch that he’ll torment gamers, who play as rebel Dani Rojas.
And Esposito, who plays villain Anton Castillo (and is featured on the "Far Cry" 6 box art), has a massive role in the latest game’s political saga.Įsposito plays a dictator ruling the imaginary island of Yara (which is loosely modeled after Cuba) in a narrative that has him pushing his son, Diego, to follow in his footsteps.
Ubisoft’s "Far Cry" franchise has spent the last decade establishing itself as an intriguing sandbox that explores slices of political intrigue. Esposito, who’s 63 years old, will play a starring role in one of 2021′s most anticipated video games, "Far Cry 6," and it’s a role unlike anything Esposito has played before. In early October, all of that will change. “And that’s where I left video games long ago.” “I used to play 'Super Mario,'” Esposito says. From “Breaking Bad” to “Once Upon a Time” to “The Mandalorian” on Disney Plus, Giancarlo Esposito has played key roles in a host of movies and films in a career that remains on the rise.īut the veteran actor does not play video games, and hasn’t since the early days of everyone’s favorite pipe-jumping plumber.
