I felt really well taken care of while I was out there in Budapest. I ate a ton and worked out heavy so I could put on that mass before we got to set.
I’m a thinner guy by nature, my metabolism works very fast, so it can be hard for me to put on muscle and keep it. We just worked on giving me the right body type. We’ve done quite a few projects together, starting with Den of Thieves, but this wasn’t something we could really prepare for. I don’t think my trainer Eddie Raburn and I really knew what was in store for us. That’s when I really started getting excited.Ĭourtesy Image How does one physically prepare to play a supersoldier from the future? I was shocked by how rich and well-conceived it all was-and ripe for a television show. I started to understand the depth of the mythology that had been created. I chased down everything else I could find from the novels to the animated shorts to the live-action features. I studied the performance from Steve Downs, who’s the voice of Master Chief in those games. I was then sent home with research materials, including the cinematics from all six of the mainline games.
I was there for four or five days getting up to speed. They put me through their own version of a story bootcamp where they schooled me on the whole journey up until that point. I still didn’t know much about the whole Halo franchise at that point, so my first stop was 343 Industries in Seattle where they make the game. The first thing that happened when I got the gig was much rejoicing in the Schreiber household, because my kids were ecstatic I was going to play Master Chief. Once you got the role, how did you dive deeper into the Halo universe? There’s this sense of ownership of Master Chief and, because they left a lot open, there was an opportunity to create something new and interesting. I liked the idea of demythologizing him, since he’s this symbol for everyone who’s played the games. The first few episodes were written by Kyle Killen they had an interesting hook to them, diving into that personal story of Master Chief. So I had no clue how much story was actually written into the games. We’d only play the versus mode, and I never had the chance to try the campaigns. I’d played Halo as a teenager but only at friends’ houses, because I wasn’t allowed to play video games at my own. I didn’t know a lot of what was covered in there. The video was very dense, with lots of fast talking and deep pulls. The first few scripts were sent along with this super-intense, 12-minute YouTube video by a fan who described the background of Master Chief. Pablo Schreiber: 2018 is the first time I heard about the project from director Rupert Wyatt, who was attached to lead the first two episodes. Want scoop on Halo, or for any other show?

“In in this realm of the TV landscape, you really want to have a strong relationship with your protagonist character, and to follow him along you need to have access to the face,” explains the alum of Orange Is the New Black and American Gods. And that, Schreiber contends, can only help viewers connect with the enigmatic supersoldier as he approaches a major turning point in his commando life.

Schreiber, a father of two, laughed at our semi-serious suggestion, then answered, “No - but I did call and ask him for a birthday video for my kid!
