Microsoft's long-in-development Halo TV series - which found a home on cable network Showtime last year - has finally cast its Master Chief, with American Gods actor Pablo Schrieber set to don the majestic green helmet.
Schrieber, who currently portrays leprechaun Mad Sweeney in Amazon's television adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods (and who starred as prison guard George "Pornstache" Mendez in Netflix's Orange Is the New Black), will be joined by Australian newcomer Yerin Ha in the role of Quan Ah, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Quan Ah, a new character in Halo universe, is described as a "shrewd, audacious 16-year-old from the Outer Colonies who meets Master Chief at a fateful time for them both."
