Weird looking dude. Hair dye's not his thing either.
So this actor won’t connect with 99.9 percent of the shows fans? This actor refuses to research his role? Thinks he knows better than the successful franchise that the show is based on? Or is he really saying “get fucked nerds, I’m a Hollywood actor and so much better than you or this role”
You know that he doesn't make any decisions that would make the show any more or less like the games, right? You want the show-runner to know the material not the actors.
I see what he's saying, but none of this is that serious. Just do your job and act, dude. I don't care if you play Fallout, play Hello Kitty Island Adventure, or play Pogs. Make the show good.
That’s likely the PR answer. For all we know, he doesn’t give a shit about the source material and he’s just doing a job he’s being paid to do. And there’s nothing wrong with that. As long as he plays the character as it was written and he does it well, I don’t see any issue.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is low key amazing. I hope he plays it.

It’s not like his character has a special meta understanding of the fallout games or universe
He’s acting the character like he’s a professional actor because he is and a good one too

Congrats to him on completely fucking missing the point of playing the games
I think you are the one missing the point. Why would you care about him playing the game? He's not there to ensure accuracy to the source material, that's the writer's job.
And the source material is inconsistent at best.
It's not just the writers job, it's the directors job.
How should the ghoul react to a cazador?
As a player of the games, I have a visceral reaction. Has the ghoul's backstreet included environments where he would have encountered them? Spoken to people who have?
These are the kinds of questions I expect he'd need to be answered by the director, because i don't think the writers would have that much detail in the scripts. "Scared because one fucked you up once" and "scared because someone you thought was tough told you they got fucked up by one" are two different scareds.
If you trust the director, it might be easier to let them tell you what your character knows when you the actor need to know.
If you don't trust the director, then it might make sense to peek at the source materials. You better understand the environment, but now suddenly you know things your character might not, which I imagine adds additional burden on an actor. A common burden, mind you, but additional.

Disturbing yet intriguing that his face looks like an anthropomorphic Jason mask.
