The second season of Prime Video's Fallout adaptation is now well under way, and fans are getting to see the first part of a story which promises to take us to the iconic New Vegas location for the first time on TV.
As well as bringing back the main roster of characters including the always bright-eyed Lucy and Walton Goggins' Ghoul, this next run of episodes promises to also introduce some new faces to the wasteland.
We know Kumail Nanjiani is set to appear as an unnamed member of the Brotherhood of Steel, while Justin Theroux is taking up the major role of Mr House in this current season, and he's already made a splash in the first episode.
We're also set to get an appearance very well-known actor, whose performance may make him the perfect casting in another potential major video game adaptation.

Though the exact details of his character aren't yet known, Macaulay Culkin is set to appear in Season 2 of Fallout on Prime Video and, depending on what type of role it is, it could be the perfect segway into another major video game franchise.
Over on Reddit, one user shared their belief that the actor would be a great choice to play notorious Red Dead Redemption character Micah, if a live-action adaptation ever got off the ground in the future.
With more than 1.5k upvotes at the time of writing, it's clearly a popular idea.
But the comments in response weren't afraid to share their own ideas for potential alternatives.
"I think Austin Amelio—the guy who played Dwight in the Walking Dead series can be a good fit for Micah," one read.
"Yeah normally I’d agree with you but Peter Blomquist is too perfect," another added.
A third expressed their agreement that Blomquist is the ideal choice, saying: "It’s a let down they made Micah so outlandishly evil since Peter can play a terrifying, manipulative villain very well.
"His performance as Dr. Fontaine in LA Noire is top-notch in terms of video game acting, especially for a villain."
The fact that nobody has taken up the idea of a Red Dead Redemption adaptation is pretty wild, particularly considering the amount of money flying around between streaming services at the moment.
Let's hope the success of Fallout persuades them to take a risk on a big budget cowboy epic.
