Assassin's Creed 2 Danny Wallace interview #1

[danimidnight1]

@PRESTIGE1234 you got that right :)

[danimidnight1]

Omg...I love how ubisoft made the characters look exactly alike in real life. I really like his British accent, shuan is my favorite sarcastic assassin..lol

[LMFAOHAHALOSER]

LOL omg this guy IS shaun hastings

[ItchikoOkamyka]

Is it wrong that I like Danny Wallace even more while imagining Shaun doing the things he does? :"3

[flameballification]

i thought he was done by the guy on Rules Of Engagment

[THEPRESTIGE1234]

so if shaun is based off of dannys looks and lucy is based off of Kristen Bell is rebecca and desmond and ezio look like their voice actors

[1342benecry]

i'm sorry but when i see the actual person that does the voice of shaun...and i see him talking in person...i still think i'm playing the game

[shonishon8]

Danny Wallace is the gaming king

[ParanoidToaster]

Sad, nerdy, angry, lonely man.

[naamhier]

@ParanoidToaster Why? o3o What's your prob?

[naamhier]

@ParanoidToaster oh, nvm XD

[discustingvids]

I cannot take this guy seriously. All i can think in my head is Shaun, Shaun, Shaun...SHAUN IS MARRIED?!

[asimioso]

Lol steve merchant is the evil bot in portal they sound a little similar, funny dudes. Roll on Masyaf bitches!!

[Callisto000]

For some reason I can only see Shaun when this guy talks O.O

xD

[keggie09]

I thought the voice actor was steven merchant.

[johnjobf]

@keggie09 ur not the only one

[ILLLLoveTrance]

the guy in the game looks exactly like you

[RawMrHerbs]

@ILLLLoveTrance hes the face model..........

[orangeunicorn2009]

altair and ezio are my favourite charactors in ac my second favourite charactors are malik and shaun

[ElizabettaMoe]

I wonder if it was a Yes Man "yes", when he decided to be in AC! Big fan, Danny. Big fan.

[weatherallc05]

his character is a cunt, but i cant deny that in real life is a sound guy. hes scottish aswell hehe

[gillri]

@weatherallc05 with an english accent, but his character is pretty awesome IMO

[weatherallc05]

@gillri hes an awesome cunt ;)

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@gillri

Yeah, he's Scottish but I think he may have lost the accent after living in London so long.

[KeZune89]

LoL its so weird to be used to Shaun Hastings voice and then you see that guy who gives him his voice and it feels like your listening to Shaun instead of Danny

[ak0alex]

My brain is screaming 'IMPOSTER!'

[322Marcus]

I've always thought that Shaun Hastings resembled Danny Wallace!

[RandomShinigami7]

Hard to believe he's Scottish...

[DeeJayDomos]

For a first character, I think this guy nailed it :)

[rpsmith014]

haha he looks like shaun

[ThaDudesAvlogger]

@rpsmith014 haha he sounds like shaun

HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!! -.-

[rpsmith014]

@ThaDudesAvlogger lol I meant they did a good job modeling his face in the game.

[philipje1]

Weasley, I thought you were in outer space!?

[The3Jonhy]

@philipje1 Don't you mean Wheatley?

[philipje1]

@The3Jonhy

Yes, I'm really dumb... I was thinking about Harry Potter the same time when I wrote my comment >.<!

[kparrinello]

He really did an excellent job. :D Danny Wallace is so talented!

[HateMachine103190]

Holy crap, it's Shaun! Like, it IS him. LOL. Nice.

[S3ggtit4n]

"Did you miss me?...No?...Anyone?...Hello? Am i speaking out loud?...Workaholics..." best part of Danny in ACB

[S3ggtit4n]

Um...anyone knows...eh...Anyone player Portal 2? Everyone?? Cool...so isn't danny the voice of wheatley??? They sounds like the same...i dunno

[GodrykPL]

@S3ggtit4n i thought exacly the same thing, but no... wheatley was voiced by Stephen Merchant

[S3ggtit4n]

@GodrykPL Oh thanks :D

[Bullring1]

@S3ggtit4n STEPHEN MERCHANT! =D Hahaa, they have similar tones, but Stephen's from Bristol, which is why he has a west country accent.

[sonicfreak04]

the dreamcast is not rubbish

[MissHarlequinn19]

some people actually have work to do

[MissHarlequinn19]

hello desmond, go away

[bitjezeverpeisek]

man i love Shaun =p

[matthewthereviewer]

He looks like him too :3

[CRRPGMykael]

in AC2 I HATED THIS GUY,but in brotherhood he really kinda starts to get along with desmond,even tough hes still kind of a dick to rebecca(despite the probability that hes in love with her)...shaun URE AWESOME!

[idkon]

hes doing shaun perfect

[Speekerful]

You are a FASCINATING travelling companion.

[mykatsuki]

haha wallace is funny i luv shaun he brought comedy to the game...i would get out of the animus just to talk to him haha

[XTEFFI]

@mykatsuki haha me too , and when i am playiing with ezio i just miss shaun , he is so sarcastic :D i love his humos :P

[gooddarkjedi]

wow. this is creepy. i am so used to see the video charecter. allso dreamcast did not suck. it was just crushed by the fame of ps2.

[gooddarkjedi]

i gotta say. videogames have less stereotypes then movies. now they have a lot but still. the assassins creed serice is exelent at preseting rennesance, middle ages,arab cultures. instead of taking the holiwood way out by using stereotypes, assassins creed uses the cultural relativism as its guide witch makes these culture accurate. hollywood instead uses the egocentrisim witch is why everything is stereotype.

[crossedfaked]

Ok. I've seen this interview for like when AC2 came out. And I've watched Yes Man when it came out. I also know that there's the original Yes Man (the author). But I just recently discovered that Danny Wallace and the Yes Man author is the person!

[Hakimakitak]

Assassin's Creed: "Easy to Trick Wives!"

Best tagline EVER.

[Faize1998]

Well I love Shaun! Shaun is awesome!!!!!!!

[laurenrox5]

EVERY time he said DOUCHE BAG i cracked up :P

[mralfredotv]

when I was playing I though "hey that guy looks like danny wallace" awesome

[SonicCrakpot]

...sorry did he just say the Dreamcast was a rubbish console...bastard. Oh well I see Shaun's smug attitude is just as prominent as the voices owner :)

[TheRunescapeManiacs]

DANNYYYYYYYYYYYYY~ <3

[VanityElric2]

I squealed when I heard/saw him after the first question.. Shaun Hastings and Dany Wallace FTW <3

[TheRunescapeManiacs]

I thought I was going to get the sack. Only Shaun. XD

[Alfourthousand]

My original comment "Hello Desmond, Go away..." Got 167 thumbs.

Youtube why don't you keep the ACTUAL highest rated comments in the highest rated comments section? This is at least the 5th time this has happened. =/

[73hd99w]

@Alfourthousand it's refreshed for new comments

[Alfourthousand]

@73hd99w Well i wish it wouldn't *cries in a corner*

[PlayerJackPL]

@Alfourthousand WHAT A PITY!!!!11

poor children in Africa never had bigger problems.

[Alfourthousand]

@PlayerJackPL not sure if troll or just REALLY stupid.

[PlayerJackPL]

@Alfourthousand in case anyone wants to know: first comment of this guy was "children in africa can suck my dick", but then he changed it.

[Alfourthousand]

@PlayerJackPL stop trying to troll, your really bad at it. Just enjoy the video. African children have nothing to do with this. I was angry at one of the ways youtube works. People like you who make those kind of comparisons are really annoying.

[PlayerJackPL]

@Alfourthousand cuz your comment was definetely worth 167 thumbs (I would propably thumbitup too, for no bigger reason), but the second one just proves you are some kinda attention whore. and the 'dick' part showed that pretty good.

[BBFalconShot]

@Alfourthousand Because thumbs up don't mean anything.

[MUFCFrankie]

@Alfourthousand Does it really bother you that much?

Get a like.

[Alfourthousand]

@MUFCFrankie wait wait wait.... so my comment ranting about my older highest rated comment no longer being displayed became another highest rated comment??? gahhh!!! I know i shouldn't be bothered but its kind of nice to know that people agree with your opinion or found your comment funny or amusing. =]

[MUFCFrankie]

@Alfourthousand I just think its a bit sad you even remember how many likes the comment had.

[Alfourthousand]

@MUFCFrankie I got at least one reply to that first comment, i just followed it from my inbox and looked at how many likes it had. Took me about 10 seconds. So it wasn't really a case of "remembering" how many likes I got.

[xkatxxz]

@Alfourthousand So there is a varation of highest rated comments. It would get boring if the highest rated comment was the same for a long period of time...

[MetalFluffyNinja1]

@Alfourthousand Why are you butthurt about getting highest rated comment to begin with? Shows you did it only to get the highest rated comment.

[Alfourthousand]

@MetalFluffyNinja1 7 months since i wrote that, longer since i wrote the last one, but ill humour you anyway.

I wrote the original comment because it was what i remember as the best/funniest thing i heard Shawn say in the first game. Me and my friend who aslo played the game laughed about it a lot so i just put it as a comment. Anyway clearly other people thought it was funny too and when someone replied to the comment i saw it was top rated, wasn't aiming for it but nice anyway. /character lim-

[chocoaddcition]

@Alfourthousand Same with me, on one video I had a comment that had 150+ likes and got overtaken by a comment with 7 likes :/

[NICKREAPER316]

@Alfourthousand Because other people deserve a chance. Most people don't thumbs up the comments below, they just give additional thumbs up to the two highest rated comments. So eventually the highest rated comments would both have over a thousand thumbs up and then another one which is even better than the highest rated ones might get like fifty, but then it would eventually be lost upon all the other comments. It's one of the few things YouTube does right.

[Christian21J]

shaun of the dead lol

[MrDarkGenis]

I love that the majority of people love Shaun. xDDD

[zhetya]

man,i love shaun.he's an asshole that just pretty sad and under pressure :D

[fahadsprintech]

what douchebags can we get...WALLACE, get me wallace.

[skimpy343]

I hate shaun, i was hoping he'd die in brotherhood.

[SuperDrifter101]

shaun is so annoying and talktive

[Carldare7]

Shaun is my favorite Charector in ac brotherhood

[TheShizzleTV]

HE TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE SHAUN!!

or shaun totally looks like him...

[XxKiwiBirdyxX]

@TheShizzleTV Shaun was actually based off of Danny Wallace for looks as well as voice xD

[lolliee9]

vieri pe dazzi de fireze LMAOOOO

[playerofrock04]

he looks like the character too... love him

[HiVC808]

I'm just watching this because it's strangely fascinating to actually see the real life person speaking like Shaun lol

[christinem2007]

Loved him in AC: Brotherhood. Didn't really care much for him in AC2. But gosh, he has his adorable moments. ♥

[SpicyMiyukichan]

great voice, i like it

[mateus3308]

When I heard him in the game I thought it was Ricky Gervais

[mrwhippy101]

@mateus3308 same here

[vinnyvasquez]

found him annoying as hell in the game, you just want to skip past his bits and never interact when you have the chance. really really wish Ezio could leap back through the portal WITH his wrist weapon to attack Wallace's character!

[LeClassics]

Danny's voice is just perfect for the role, Shaun was hilarious in the game. Every time I was out of the Animus I would pester the guy for any backstory... and when there was no more, he'd tell me to go away... then another time he loses it and calls me a vegan!

[FridayNightLego]

omg he even looks like shaun O.O

[DalyDirecting]

@FridayNightLego They modeled Shaun around him just like most of the characters.

[Legendary914]

his voice is so annoying

[ZeldaSam1991]

ah lovely XD lolol english

[extragraczpl]

He's voice is great for Shaun ;-)

[TheAcidX]

Great voice actor!

[xElderz]

Fuck you SHAUN all you do is BITCH about EVERYTHING but I love your voice lol he is perfect for the role.

[luvondarox]

But I like Shaun... He's like modern-day Malik or something.

[campbell24sonya]

good morning k ids

i personaly simply get that computer game and it's

shocking

got it here dlhub(.) net

[rmanyuu]

wow! he looks just like fat shaun!

[nintendogrl0603]

"Viera P..P..Perezzi he's a big man who lives near a river!"

[gamerbot1243]

Shaun dosen't like the voice of himself.

[sadii21]

Ezio next

[NICKREAPER316]

Did he call the Dreamcast rubbish?

[TheFallenAngel6236]

He even LOOKS like Shaun!!!

[sheogorath19]

@TheFallenAngel6236 what a coincidence ... but i think it's the other way around

[0wIEyes]

@TheFallenAngel6236 Danny came first. Shaun looks like Danny. =P

[GZjokkeGZ]

that the freerunning is so easy, i don't like ... =/

[J88Wolf]

Desmond: What are you doin'?

Shaun: What am I doing Who are you my Mom?!

[Corangar1]

why he are holding that pen for in his hand? rotfl

[bookercreator]

@Corangar1 it wasnt really funny...

[Corangar1]

@bookercreator im not laugh at it, i just asking, and you try to tell me, i have fun of it... go away, i don't like you anymore

[mystreet5000]

OMG i'm shaking, thats how much i want to play the game. Thumps up

[sheogorath19]

@mystreet5000 that might've worked before the game was released...

[TheDrwhofigurereview]

he is going to be emence in assassin creed brotherhood

[ReiAyanamiSAKURA]

Lol, his voice is awsome

[gliglimp12]

lol!!

[ZwiReKProductions]

if I remember good he got only few sentenced in this game :D

[thecooldude46]

i have found totalbiscuit

[asiisn]

you know Altaïr ibn La-Ahad . ibn La-Ahad means in Arabic = son of no one !

.....

[Eziodefirnzee]

@asiisn altair means flier i know im arabic ;)

[asiisn]

@Eziodefirnzee flier ... sorry don't know what it means But anyway ....

I found the name of Altaïr in the game book ( that book comes with the game ) and I know it because im arabic too :)

[lucfilm2010]

Oh my god I swear I've heard his pizza advertising voice before.

[bubbabojanglez]

were can i find a video of roger craig smith doing voice acting of ezio?

[combobasha]

wait...is it me, or does he look like a british version of Seth Macfarlene?

[combobasha]

lol, he does look like the annoying charecter in the game XD

[amyaurion]

oh my god, this VOICE! Im totally in love with his voice, im a fangirl over Shaun just cause of his voice xDD

[gillri]

@amyaurion what you like about his voice?

[SteveTheCookie]

He seems like a nice guy, unlike Shaun :P

[Fma1416]

I laughed when he said the dreamcast was rubbish. I bet that pissed off a lot of elitists.

[JackolousTheNinja]

I swear some of his lines in the game like "Hello Desmond, GO away..." make him sound very similar to how rickey gervais talks LOL dunno if thats just me? :P

[impreza0109]

what are you desmon, a vegan? you'd be the first vegan Assassin in history.

[LunarNightshade722]

*GASP* it's real life Shaun!!

[razial36]

Desmond : Hello Desmond

Desmond : Go away...

XD Lol

[19killerthe]

@razial36 =S

[tom3167]

thumbs up if you realised who this guy was on an ad on spotify :)

[785tight]

Ok Rogrigo Borgia and Giovanni Audirorie had their likenesses taken from the men who did their voices but I had no idea the man who did the voice for Shaun Hastings also had his likeness used kinda makes me wonder do Desmond or Ezio look like the men who do their voices?

[jonlam96]

@785tight yes desmond,ezio and altair are all modeled by a male model whose name i have suddenly forgotten

[Kaai19999]

@785tight Shaun Hastings is NOT like Danny Wallace, quite the opposite in fact. And the man who modeled Desmond Miles was Francisco Randez, he's a Canadian model - and he also did Altair, but I'm not so sure about Ezio.

[785tight]

@Kaai19999 Desmond and Ezio have similarities but I'm fairly certain that if their likeness was taken from a real person each has their own character of origin. Danny Wallaces' likeness was used for Shaun Hastings you can tell just by looking at him. Watch Assassins Creed Lineage to see what I mean about Giovanni and Rodrigo Borgia.

[Kaai19999]

@785tight I know that. But Shaun Hastings is a cynical man whereas Danny Wallace, if you've read any of his books, is the complete opposite. Shaun Hastings is if I remember correctly, based off Sean Hastings, some guy in the computer industries - at least, personality wise. Though, if you are just talking about looks, yes, it's quite obvious that they took Danny Wallace for the appearence and voice acting.

[785tight]

@Kaai19999 Looks were all I was talking about I was simply curious. Now you've peaked my interest what kinds of books does Danny Wallace write?

[Kaai19999]

@785tight Oooh, okay! Sorry ~ Alright, so I've read Yes Man - where for a whole several months, all he says is YES to every question - and Join Me - where he accidently starts a cult based on happiness, where every Friday they commit one Random Act of Kindness to a stranger. He created the Karma Army, which did all these good deeds and he's brilliant! I'm starting up Are You Dave Gorman? and I'm already laughing a few pages in. Search him up on Google! You won't be disappointed.

[785tight]

@Kaai19999 shoot that actually sounds pretty funny I'll have to look it up. I wonder if they have the book to read on the internet because I don't know if I have enough money right now.

[charljenky29]

I'VE MET  HIM!

[Oathkeepera]

"Sad, nerdy, angry, lonely man"

-XDDDDD

[beefcasseroleful]

When he is talking about rubbish consoles switch dreamcast for the saturn damn it?

[EDDIEinWAR]

hello desmond...go away!...

[sniceproductions]

"Lucy, is this guy stalking me?" xD

[xXvironXx]

rofl he is such a dick in the game,and yet such a cool dude irl lolz

[Mysterious0Bob]

@WhoTheGreat Such a pity. Another petty moron from some shithole nobody cares about.

Oh, and its nice of you to obviously learn our language. Such is our influence.

[TheTupacolypse]

3:10 I did the EXACT same thing.

[Metamorphosis20091]

Wow, thought it was Ricky Gervais who voiced Shaun Hastings.

[elchicodelagorra1]

2:10 lol

[weatherallc05]

yeah guys, is the lass who voices lucy just as fit?

[fbbskinz07]

@weatherallc05 you bet. It's Kristen Bell.

[weatherallc05]

@fbbskinz07 fucking woww. pleasee tell her i want to fuck her

[weatherallc05]

@fbbskinz07 lmao

[HowColdCanYouPlay]

he's the 'yes man'!!

[angel30382]

Lucy, what's wrong with this guy? I think he's stalkin' me...

Brilliant voice for such a harsh character.

[FatmanXVII]

"Hopefully I bring a little bit of a douchebag"

Little bit?

You mean total!

But he did a good job pissing me off.

What was wierd was, during my first playthrough, Desmond and me said at the exact same time "What a dick" it was hilairious! Me and my mate laughed for hours!

[weatherallc05]

hahahahah

[weatherallc05]

@FatmanXVII fucking rightttt

[Alexjr1543]

I kind of liked that British douche bag character that Shaun is. And this guy is definitely quite good.

[metalligeek093]

god shaun in the game is such an ass

[Alfourthousand]

Hello Desmond, Go away....
