Halo TV Show's Master Chief Loved Finally Showing Off His Spartan Armor
Pablo Schreiber, who plays Master Chief in Paramount+'s new Halo TV series, shares that he loved finally showing off his Spartan armor. Halo follows a 26th-century conflict between humanity and a menacing alien congregate known as the Covenant. Although the video game franchise inspired the series, Halo is cited as a stand-alone project, steering away from defining itself as a prequel, continuation, or adaptation. Supporting Schreiber's lead in the new show are Natascha McElhone, Yerin Ha, Bokeem Woodbine, Jen Taylor, Shabana Azmi, Olive Gray, Charlie Murphy, Kate Kennedy, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Danny Sapani.
A large part of creating a believable Halo universe hinges on the ability to appear visually authentic. Knowing this, production for the series opted to go with practical armor rather than depending solely on the assistance of CGI. In addition to achieving an authentic appearance, the theory goes that these practical armor suits help optimize the actors' performances, making them feel more connected to the surrounding environment. With Halo now streaming on Paramount+, fans can get a full glimpse of the Spartan armor in action.
