Amazon’s Fallout Collection Adds Arcane Voice Actor Ira Purnell
Amazon’s upcoming ‘Fallout’ TV series has a second actor, according to a new type British actress Ella Purnell has been cast in the lead, reports say.
Specific details about Purnell’s role were not revealed, but sources say the role will be “upbeat and direct, with an all-American enterprising spirit.” Her cast follows that of character actor Walton Goggins, the first announced cast member on the show, who will reportedly play a ghoul or a man named Eater. Ghoul man. (I suspect the former.)
I’m not familiar with Purnell’s work, but a quick visit to IMDB reveals a range of characters in TV and film dating back a decade, including – this is the one most directly related to our interests – as Jinx in The voice of the League of Legends animated series Arcane.
Purnell also starred in the acclaimed Showtime series Yellowjackets, which was recently renewed for a second season, as well as the animated Star Trek: Prodigy series on Nickelodeon, and in Zack Snyder’s 2021 zombie film Army of the Dead main character.
Production on the Fallout TV series is expected to begin sometime this year, but a release date has yet to be announced.
