The newest trailer forFalloutseason 2 revealed which character Justin Theroux is playing in Prime Video’s hit video game adaptation, and it couldn’t be more perfect. Thecast ofFalloutalready included some big names, from Walton Goggins to Ella Purnell and even Kyle MacLachlan. Now that Justin Theroux has signed on, however, the show got even more star power.
Theroux is also joining the show just asFalloutseason 2approaches, with a December 17 release date already in sight. Thenewest trailer forFalloutseason 2has also just been released, and it finally revealed who Theroux is playing and which actor he’d be replacing. As Lucy and the Ghoul head for New Vegas, theFalloutshow is finally ready to show us Mr. House.
Justin Theroux Is Playing Mr. House In Fallout Season 2
Thenew trailer forFalloutseason 2 revealed that Justin Theroux is playing Robert House. Mr. House was a central figure in the video gameFallout: New Vegas, and he acted as the creator and sole leader of New Vegas for centuries after the Great War. House’s fate is up to the player in the game, but it’s clear that theFalloutshow will be examining House’s life before the war.
Theroux is an acclaimed actor with several notable roles under his belt. He’s starred in movies likeBeetlejuice BeetlejuiceandMulholland Drive, and he’s garnered a reputation for having a huge range of acting talents. He’ll have to use quite a bit of that range to play Mr. House, the enigmatic libertarian power player in the Mojave Wasteland.
Who Played Robert House In Fallout Season 1
Justin Theroux’s casting inFalloutseason 2 did end up replacing the previous actor who played Robert House.InFalloutseason 1, House was played by Rafi Silver. Silver is a relatively less popular actor, at least compared to Theroux. His biggest roles to date have been recurring characters in shows likeNCISandLaw & Order: Organized Crime.
Rafi Silver played House inFalloutseason 1 primarily due to how little the character was featured. Mr. House is only in a single episode ofFalloutseason 1, and he only has a handful of lines and a few moments of screen time. Now that Mr. House is clearly going to be a main antagonist inFalloutseason 2, however, the show needed more star-power behind the character.
Why Fallout’s Mr. House Recasting Is Exciting
Justin Theroux’s casting as Robert House is exciting for a variety of reasons. The first is the character himself:Mr. House is one of the most memorable and complex characters in the entireFalloutfranchise. He embodies such a unique set of politics and characteristics, and he’s simply oozing with personality even as a computer construct. It’ll be a treat to see him in such detail inFalloutseason 2.
The trailer forFalloutseason 2 also made House’s appearance even more exciting. The Ghoul alleged that House was the main reason for the Great War, and we already saw Cooper talking to him before the bombs fell.It seemsFalloutseason 2 is going to delve deeper into Mr. House’s story than we’ve ever gone before, which is an extremely exciting prospect for fans of the games.

Justin Theroux’s casting is another reason to be excited for Mr. House. Rafi Silver is a fine actor, but Justin Theroux is a star. He should be more than capable of delivering a layered and complex performance as Mr. House. The mere fact thatFalloutgot a big name to play House also indicates that he’ll have a big role to play in the coming season, which only makes the previous two points even more exciting.
In short, Mr. House is going to be a game changer forFalloutseason 2. He’ll be a much more fascinating and exciting villain than Moldaver was, especially after we learned her true intentions. Mr. House also seems to be hiding quite a few mysteries up his sleeve, which makes the wait for answers even harder to bear. Casting Theroux as Robert House may be the best thingFalloutseason 2 could have done.
