I want a Vaas movie about his past. That would be amazing

[@jessicatanouye8473]

That would be awesome or a dlc 🤔😁

better (not to) call vaas

[@mr.F.Castle]

He probably hit his head on a stove.

[@RealSurfDog]

Far Cry 6 Baby.

[@mr.F.Castle]

I quess you missed the part that Vaas and Citra are siblings. Dont see how that fits into the far cry 6 storyline.

[@GenieB261]

Michael made Vaas such a loveable character. He was my favourite character by far because I loved his twisted personality. I still don't think he died. I think he's still alive.

[@bradydavis5791]

Deafinitely a great characters...don't know aboug lovable, though.

[@mr.F.Castle]

I fucking hated him. Because he was so fucking convincing as a sociopath.

[@jjominol]

I like this comment, this is a nice fucking comment.

This would be the start of a nice fucking thread had people joined in. Lol

[@platform32]

Michael is a very nice guy, he was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to film and send me this interview and that alone is pretty damn awesome!

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

Now he's in what I consider the best show on TV...unless it falls apart at the end like _Game of Thrones_ . We'll find out soon. I loved GoT and now I rarely think about it...such a waste.

[@josiahbrand2013]

This guy is one of my favorite video game actors. He is amazing good luck in the future Michael. Hope to see u in future video games or movies. Anything would be amazing.

[@jagermorgan8504]

agree... like the voice and how vaas was like in the game

[@avxx0035]

He's in Better Call Saul and he'll be in Spider-Man Homecoming !

[@jbisch272]

I know this is an old comment but he made it into Spiderman Homecoming.

[@warden6682]

Josiah Brand spider man homecoming After the credits Vaas comes

[@SlenderPhantom47]

Do you the definition of insanity? No. Do you know the definition of great actor who makes a great villain? Yes. The answer is michael mando. I love you and vaas

[@Zaptagious]

He did such a good job at being Vaas, whenever I see him talk as himself he will always be out of character.

[@DualDesertEagle]

That guy should make and dress himself up as Vaas and live his normal life like that! No one would who's seen some of the cutscenes will ever dare to mess with him!

[@jackjackson7872]

Great actor and clearly a really nice guy. Wish him all the success in the world.

[@kasrakh86]

4:32 the way he answered that question was hilarious LOL

[@michaeldindjarin3992]

Vaas is literally the best thing that ever happened to farcry

[@PedanticProfessor]

They modeled Vaas' character model after him. I recommend watching The Far Cry Experience to see Mando acting as a live-action Vaas.

[@Redpotato2]

Its Like water under the bridge.

[@Dracongard]

Even better i say. No cliche moments and great acting. I am still suprised just watching lets play on his reactions and his actions. Im gonna play the heck out of it when i get it tomorrow.

[@OPFreak34]

Give this man all the chocolate cake in the world!

[@MrNosec]

I fucking love Vaas. My favourite characters where allways Snake from MGS and Dante from DMC but now I have another one.

[@AshleyBonilla]

0:52 "I would say: 'I'm a person who's um... I guess always searching for answers.. And who's always looking for balance... And who likes chocolate cake.'" The last one's funny though. :D

[@LucasMartins-el7kn]

Holy shit.. It looks like Vaas is interpreting Michael Mando

[@aboemusic]

You know you've got something about you when a large games developers goes out of their way to actually create a brand new role in a game. Especially when it's one which has been specifically tailored for you and you alone. Props to Mando and also thanks - for being brave enough to do what he felt was right. If he didn't do the total opposite of the script requirements at his audition Vaas would not exist and possibly my fave gaming villain to date would never have been created. To principles!

[@Smithburg01]

They actually modeled the character completely off him. Have you seen the live action sequences where he dresses up as Vaas and plays him? It's surreal.

[@Drarack]

*Ohmygoddoavaasmoviealready!*

[@kOgeeDENSee]

If far cry were to be made as a series, I still want him to play as vaas

[@AnpuReborn]

That would be so dope

[@stevenk4255]

"have i ever told you the definition, of INSANITY" is going to be the most famous quote 10 years from now from video games, Vaas is awesome:-)

[@shadycipher2923]

Man michael mando deserves a top spot in Hollywood

[@lapslaps]

Love the actor, can't stand the interviewer.

[@FredEFuego]

Yeah this dude is a real nice guy and talented actor. Vaas just is a monster of a character that you can't forget.

[@nickk4953]

I’d like a remake with upgraded graphics would be cool

[@LiamTHiggins]

And that is exactly what made him such a great character and probably the best video game villain in at least the past 5 years.

[@Zuzubinks]

OMG I HAVE THE SAME SCAR ON MY LEFT EYEBROW :O

[@spartanmen100]

Such an amazing actor

[@Jackeeify]

I wonder if he really did die.. you know, when he opened his eyes in the ending of that scene. Makes me wonder if he will be in the next game.. I really hope so!

[@miguelduarte1363]

7 years later, hasn't been in a new game unfortunately

[@TheRealShiro]

@@miguelduarte1363 confirmed by the writers and dev’s Vaas unfortunately died

[@Synikoss]

And to this day, he is still one of the greatest vilain in video games. Ubisoft did try to do better, so did other publisher but damn. His plays only made me come back on far cry 3.

[@verycoolguy5947]

It’s cool how two characters from the Breaking Bad universe played villains in far cry games

[@Broccoliiiii]

I believe he said "Even when I listen to the real actor behind Vaas who isn't insane, I think he is going to murder me." That took a few reads to get it right.

[@j_may]

Loved the Far Cry Experience. They should definitely make a feature length movie from it! Loved the third one where he says to the camera 'I spotted him over there, I'm like a sniper'!! hahaha

its strange hearing that voice say something nice like "God Bless" lol

[@shonguiz0]

Where's that fooatge from ? I didn't see those cinematics in the game and Vaas looks different.

[@saharbella3435]

If i was michael i Would dress me up as vaas in real life ! Cause he's so fuckin hot when he Playes as Vaas

[@Peaceful_Gojira]

Great work Michael within the game and marvelous work with the "Far Cry 3 Experience" video acting as well. :)

[@vaasmontenegro7372]

more people need to have the video game characters look just like the real person. Then it doesn't feel as awkward when you meet them. Like me for example

[@markyouwho]

what a humble guy, nice of him so show of his friends at the end.

[@nivedni]

"and i love chocolate cake" *cute smile* XD AWESOME

[@dihhie]

If he ever reads it.. Mando, your work on Vaas. Is brilliant. I will gladly await more wonderful acting from you. In any media.

[@JohnnyDeppFan1015]

vaas's voice is sooooooo hot

[@IXTheCoon]

I already wanted to see this guy in big productions just from E3 videos. now seeing that he's actually a straight up good guy and humble really make me wanna seem he do well.

[@IntrinsicEmpress]

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I think from this and viewing his other movies Michael Mando is my new favorite actor.

its odd hearing him talk not like a insane guy

Michael Mando is such a humble guy. Would love to meet him. He also grew up close to me (him in Quebec and me in Ontario) and is almost exactly my age!

[@RGFILMSANDREVIEWS]

That was in the cinematic trailer, original thats how the game was supposed to start but it was changed to crawling with grant to the end of the camp.

[@Doggyps3]

Damn when u get such an awesome character in a game... u cant help but love the game as a whole with its flaws and imperfections... like Nathan Drake or the Freakin Richtofen... when u get such awesome acting from these actors like VAAS or Solid Snake, or King BOHAN or Heavy Rain u feel the Game and u play without realising that u are actually playing and not living every moment of that game...like that scene with microwave from MGS4 i was presing that button like there was no tomorrow...

[@shaiaratabassum]

I fucking loooooooove Vaas. I looooove Michael Mando aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@PedanticProfessor]

Some of the clips they used were from the game... where were the other ones from? I haven't seen those yet; like the one where they've got Jason tied up.

[@evanwilliams302]

Hearing his voice is so weird while seeing a real person

[@SPN280]

I love the insanity cut scene it caught my heart because of the emotion he puts into it.

[@burstpiercer4228]

This vid is 8 years old but it just showed up for me anyway my favouryte game is far cry!!!!

[@Brass_Buckle]

When he acts he like a mad man i love him one of the best game actors in thr world

[@Skyscraper125]

This guy is AMAZING. I've seen him do some badguys in stuff like Law & Order, and his performance with those kinds of things is PERFECTION. MUST have this game.

[@RicoWCHN]

vaas=fucking awesome i really really really hope there will be a movie/game featuring him again.

[@bethG595]

The mad villians are always the scariest XD this guy is so sick, he is a great actor

[@archguru314]

Vaas is the greatest villain of all time and maybe even the greatest character. He deserved more screen time. I hope that the next dlc does a Vaas Montenegro backstory.

[@kylethomas1029]

You did a fucking great job for vos i love that twisted humor and crazy of your character do more game voices!

[@sp1d3rm4an]

dude they should make a film about far cry 3 because it would be awesome one because michael mando is perfect because he played vaas and looks like him and it would be fucking awesome

[@HeadsUpTV]

Probably the best villain I have ever seen in a video game after Joker from the Arkham series.

[@jkrocker94]

Vaas is by far my favorite antagonist ever! And I'm most def. Going to b watching more of michael's stuff!!

[@orlandowl1988]

Love this actor cant wait to the game comes out. Vaas watchout here come soon.

[@MMDailyEdits]

I love when the game character has the exact same face as its actor

[@MikeWazowskB]

far cry 3 has some amazing voice acting and yes during the game i payed attention tot he voice acting

[@LaosilThePandaren]

Michael Mando ,as I assume many have probably said, should be a movie-star.

[@Lanana181]

I love him so much! I hope to see him in person one day

[@Dentheman1995]

i think he will even win a fucking price for being the most original villian, is there a price for that? kinda Oscar for games

[@Nadyanilo]

Omg, he was splendid ; A; Michael deserves awards upon awards. My heart. . .

[@MikeWazowskB]

michael mando needs to do more voice acting he is very great at it he did wonderful with vaas he captured the emotion in the dialogue he deserves voice actor of the year and vaas deserves villain of the year

[@xxrumlexx]

He is fucking amazing. he should become a professional actor would love to see a full movie with his personality

[@TuanNafiz]

Wow. I've never seen Vaas is so calm.

[@greaves791]

Vass hes a fav game Villian his the dude doin his voice loiks alot like the character without the mohawk and tatts great Character awsome game The dudes voice is perfect for Vass

[@bdog441]

yeah i have seen every ep of that but i mean like a feature movie i reckon that would sell like crazzy at the box office

[@Sithaco36]

I found it pretty awesome that they modeled Vass after Michael.

[@lionel10messi10rocks]

Where is the clip from 1:55 from?!

[@QwertyCaesar]

If anything, that'd be a DLC mode for Far Cry 3. Part of the Far Cry series is that none of the games are related to each other, except in concept. That being said, Vaas caged insanity and rage is explained in the game. Its hinted in his most famous monologue that he started seeing people differently. He's talking about the Rakyat - Citra (a classic manipulator) in particular.

[@natashabussard3643]

they should make a whole movie about farcry3 because i love how they are on an iland also i think it has a very good plot in the story.......exept when vaas dies that stupid but hey i cant make thta not happen

[@DSTM4774]

Oh God!! I can't help seeing the craziness on Michael eyes, cuz he looks JUST IKE VAAS (Or Vaas looks just like him :D )

[@charithamalalasekera5001]

Damn that guy is just plain awesome much respect to a guy that can pull of such an amazing performance hats off :)

[@RenaldoXhahu]

Yes ...he is really great Far Cry 3 was and outstanding game ...And the Definition of Insanity monologue totally blew my mind ,...

[@TairaTeleVision]

Unfortunately the problem with that would be, since it is a first person shooter where even the cut scenes are first person you wont see vaas throughout the game and a big part of what makes his character is his actions.

[@Kyomu13]

Well really when you get down to the conception of Vaas as a character he and Michael are essentially the same person. Michael originally auditioned for another character but he was the exact opposite of what they wanted, however they liked him so much they made Vaas specifically to get Michael into the gam which was a good call if you ask me.

[@vaasmontenegro6976]

Thank you

[@maninscratch]

wheres that cutscene from @ 2:00 !??!!? I played the game but never seen this one WTF :O
