A Day In The Life In Vault-Tec Vault – Interview with Prime Video’s Fallout S1 actor Moisés Arias
A Day In The Life In Vault-Tec Vault – Interview with Prime Video’s Fallout S1 actor Moisés Arias. We spoke about a day in the set of the series, aspects of the video game character-wise, and more!
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.
“Fallout” S1 Now Available to Binge Watch Only On Prime Video.
Criticólogos:
I love what the production design team did with setting up the set and making this video game come to life, and I want to ask you, what was going through your mind when you put on the Vault-tec suit and just came into the set for a day of filming?
Moisés Arias:
Well, luckily there was quite a bit of preparation and some rehearsals before then. If it was just like, hey, how are you doing? I’m Moises, here’s your suit. That would have been too much to handle. I think, as you said, the production designers, and really everyone that had a hand in creating this world most of it was practical. Everything I saw in real life, I didn’t have to pretend like, you know, the screens in our vault were showing scenes of explosions, like I was seeing these things, or that these enormous, stages where my sister opens a vault door those were actual enormous doors. So, the ability to see these things and react to them is really important.
Criticólogos:
Norm is a character for the TV series, not from the video game, but I wonder how familiar were you with the video games and what were you able to take from the video games and put them into your character?
Moisés Arias:
Having the ability to create an original story in such a rich and dense and huge world. That is Fallout was very special. I wouldn’t say I took anything specifically besides what I saw in these stages, in these vaults, because that’s sort of what you would think a Vault Dweller would experience, just knowing things on, on the page and on the screen, maybe, but not in, in real life. So, I went into it sort of that way, sort of, um, ignorant, for lack of a better explanation.
Criticólogos:
There are so many gadgets and props from the set. Did you manage to grab one and just take it home?
Moisés Arias:
I wish I did. I wish I could tell you I did. The last thing I wanted to do was get in trouble. My favorite thing to do is take pictures, and I even got in trouble for that. So, I respected the set, I respected everybody’s work. And I got to say, yeah, everything was unbelievable.
Criticólogos:
But why would that be something that you would love to take from the set?
Moisés Arias:
I would have loved the suit. I probably would have worn that on the street, or a pip-boy.
Criticólogos:
If Rico would be in Norman’s shoes, how would he handle the situation?
Moisés Arias:
I think Rico has a false sense of confidence. Hopefully, over these years, he put on some weight to handle himself. But, maybe he’d be a little cocky or a little more, out in these in these fields.
