Actor Aaron Moten plays Maximus in Prime Video's Fallout TV series, and while he's familiar with the video game source material, he's confessed that he has "forbid" himself from actually playing any Fallout games.
"I am a gamer; I really enjoy taking a break from watching TV and movies. It's work for me, and I really have a hard time turning that brain off when becoming a viewer," Moten tells Game Informer. "I have not played Fallout, but I have watched Twitch streams, you know, I've watched others play it. But, partly, I forbid myself from playing it at this point. It's our job to bring a sense of humanity to these three characters."
In the Fallout TV show, Maximus is a squire in the Knights of San Fernando, a group that counts itself as part of the Brotherhood of Steel, who use Fallout's vaunted power armor to patrol the wastelands. In the games, Maximus has appeared only in the Fallout Shelter mobile game, introduced as cameo character after the release of the show.

I've been Newsarama's resident Marvel Comics expert and general comic book historian since 2011, and now I'm the Entertainment Writer at GamesRadar+. I've also been the on-site reporter at most major comic conventions such as Comic-Con International: San Diego, New York Comic Con, and C2E2. Outside of comic journalism, I am the artist of many weird pictures, and the guitarist of many heavy riffs. (They/Them)
