Interview on the bonus disc of the limited edition gow2

[@ImperialProductions2]

"I suppose you want me to tell you that I've always loved you, but I don't, I really REALLY don't!" lmao one of my favorite Gears 3 lines.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Years later sam is like hey sweet cheeks lol 😆 gears 4 so it seems baird has got a wife lol funny 😄 its so cute tho 😄 yet baird gets older and a little Moore wiser but sill sarcastic as always and sam looks even more hot as she aged lol

“it’s a fucking party down here” from Gears 1 is one of my favorite Baird lines

When they're in the sewers right? Lol

[@shadava]

And I've always loved Baird. He's the hot, genius, funny, sarcastic, a-hole

[@R3B3LC4PTA1N]

The closest to me for a fictional character but Baird is way more handsome then me

[@Jose_Doe]

Never realized how many women liked Baird like that dang

[@CR1MSONCLIPS94]

Love Baird he is so funny I love in 1 how he calls Marcus a ass whole through the whole game lol

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Baird call marcus a asshole but marcus called him a cock after fucking up his tomatoes sure jinn ordered it but the bits still have bairds name

[@DullVivid]

0:20 scared the fuck out of me.

[@LiverpoolMopHead]

DUDE he's my favorite character!! I play as him every time!

[@BenDover-wl4zl]

0:18 that sound scared the fuck out of me!

[@jokaerojim1666]

XD

[@BananaBrainsZEF]

IKR. I mean, what in the holy fuck was that?

[@8080pop]

LOL when I look at him talking it doesnt sound like baird, but when i close my eyes it sounds like baird.

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

Baird is my favorite character in the Gears games. It's interesting to think that Fred also does the voice of Saren from Mass Effect; another memorable character

[@allexfenty]

"I wouldn't do this to youuu!..........well....maybe I would" SHIT YEAHH!

[@shahtatty]

Right longer story Ofc but I’m 16 now and when I first played gears back when I was 10-11 Bairds personality hit me so hard and made him my favourite character still to date I can’t even put into words how much this character means to me

[@kylerollins6483]

I love that Doctor McCoy humor/sarcasm Baird has

[@Bretthanial]

He is a great voice actor two of my favorite characters Baird and Saren.

[@nolimitkaos1890]

He plays the voice as Tai too

[@speedking7224]

Nikolai from cod zombies too

[@nolimitkaos1890]

1:07 Y'all heard the Tai scream

[@LinxenMidnight]

"It all depended on how they played and how they interacted with me" :D

[@jonst3r]

Team Baird! Been using him since gears of war 1! But i didnt expect him to be phat ;3

[@onkami7981]

Epic brought something to the table man! The trilogy has aged like fine wine, no matter the small bits and pieces at the end of the day you loved it. Epic, I thank you for the great memories I shared with friends and family! May one day you come back for one game or to even help!

[@XxRadicalOnexX]

Fred Tatasciore is also a voice actor for a lot of famous games. I remember him as the voice of Saren Arterius in Mass Effect, but that's not the only thing.

[@xBlindFerretx]

Baird is easily my favourite.

[@ElronHumpperdink]

Favorite character for sure. It’s so cool that it’s basically his voice and relaxed. So suave.

[@shadava]

He voices Saren too? Omg. What other famous voices has he done?

[@paulschauer6273]

Sylar Barnes-Laufeyson-Rogers the hulk

[@TheCorrodedMan]

The poet-tree as well

[@roku_6828]

Sylar Barnes-Laufeyson-Rogers soldier 76

[@bonecrusher9781]

Sylar Barnes-Laufeyson-Rogers he also voice tai kaliso in gears.

[@yafirtheorc4685]

sylar he voiced Solomon Grundy, Bane, Hulk, and Tremor (MKX) to name a few

[@nolimitkaos1890]

He plays the voice as Tai too

[@BogusLettuce]

and the locust drone and boomer

[@About65tacos]

I watched one of these videos and now I must watch all of them.

[@MegaAvids]

Great work ethic this guy. Mad respect

[@xRoyalChefx]

"Don't worry , I'm right behind you" :D

[@ElronHumpperdink]

Fred’s enactment of “being burned alive by the scorcher” is literally disturbing in the game, his voice is that accurate. Sounds so real.

[@PunisherPlaythroughs]

This guy does an awesome Baird! Baird Rules!!!

[@therandomguy332]

im suprised when i found out he also did the voice of tai kaliso this guy is very talented.

[@mattsm00th2365]

Baird is favorite character

[@Cize8]

Ever notice that everyone that picks Classic baird in Gow 3 goes fucking try-hard squared??? Just me??

[@clintonthornton9817]

Thats my favorite cog character to play. Either him, B. Carmine or A. Carmine.

[@SMfan199]

This guy's got an awesome voice.

[@Troygdesign]

This guy right here , Gears wouldn’t be the same without him

[@phoenixreborn3289]

No other man can really voice Baird as great as this guy

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

These actors must be getting on bow I won't be surprised if they kill them all off in a badass way

[@olah711]

because of his actions with what appears to be an early verison of the lightmass bombs he is most likely demoted which result in him being a lower rank in gears 1,2,3 but not Judgement which is indeed the prequel.

[@theburgerfarm]

fred tatisciore, he also did tai kaliso

[@Zzzcrewch_]

"It's called experience"❤

[@Menckenperson]

Love this guy

[@stuff339]

this guy is voice acting legend. saren mass effect. megatron/trypticon/omega supreme/otheres transformers wfc. 8 9. baird gears of war. tabitha/rhonda fallout new vegas. and thats just my favourite cgaracters by him. he does so much more. he is hulks voice as well in various things.

[@halomo81]

DUDE FUNNY ASS BAIRD AND ALSO THE BEST VILLAN IN THE FIRST MASS EFFECT FRED IS AWESOME

[@CrowsDescend]

Great actor, my funniest character on Gears :D

[@Venge_Drip]

“Come on, while we’re young!”

[@cruz68]

I love baird. he's funny.

[@eon001]

Wow did not expect Baird to look like this. Great character though. Cole looks damn near identical to his voice counterpart.

[@ChibiFreak52]

Wait for real? Oh man, this guy just became even cooler!

[@timruneskate96]

this changed EVERYTHING

[@Little_Milk120]

No ones gonna talk about how he does he craziest voice lines for Tai?????

[@brad3907]

I love the glow of locust blood in red light

[@hunterdawson7531]

Baird Is my favorite gears character

[@thecricketeer301]

Amen to that

[@oce1989]

This guy also does Uncle Mario in Assassins Creed 2.

[@SwordofBattle]

hes also done many random beast creatures from various shows as well as the Hulk on some of the animated movies

[@norrisbowling]

i wanna hear him say "in the shit, up to here"xD

[@ColonDee-]

@SuperPeopleftw Because he's a mechanic. It's mentioned in the books, and which is why his alternate skin in Gears of War 3 is MECHANIC Baird.

[@onyxtricky5864]

I Like Baird In All Gears Of Wars He The Best:D

[@knightbrolaire526]

@BoneCrusha5454 Yeah and now when I think about it probably also Engineer's voice in Team Fortress 2. If you think about it - the Engi's and Baird's voice are very similiar.

[@TPDManiacXC626]

Hard to believe old Fred here is the same voice actor for Kakuzu from Naruto Shippuden and Nikolai from the Call of Duty Zombies!

[@xSW33P3R]

yeah they are ; ).. but seeing at cole did so well i decided to upload the rest of them... ; )

[@RyanJerdon]

He also does the Voice for The Incredible Hulk wow what range he has

[@DaHxiBeSeRk]

I didn't know Ron Jeremy plays Baird!

[@TheJackthereaper]

baird freaking funny

[@AvengeStunneR]

He was the last guy i would imagine to speak Baird.

[@johnthesencond]

He should be in the movie.

[@raphdude0931]

lets not forget his work on tai too

[@TrUmPeTxMaSteR]

dude this is baird!!

[@CalZO2]

I did not expect that... O_O

[@TheJackthereaper]

@Antichrist2000 dude but thats what makes the games fun, all characters ballance each other. bad ass maecus has his monents, emotianal dom gives it it a sad meaning, cole & baird puts a smile on our faces after a boss. so it ballances it out.

[@_1_9]

BAIRD FTW!

[@DrakeCaliburn]

he's also Tai and Saren (from Mass Effect)

[@SuperSkilledGamer]

@NerdBerds I don't understand it... If its a prequel, how is he a higher rank? In Gears 1 he was either a private or corporal and wanted to be a seargent

[@Jone01FTW]

Baird rocks

[@ratedtriplex]

baird looks like the cobra kai coach from karate kid

[@Nin10do559]

Marcus: Baird, the powers down Baird: NO SHIT!!

[@23koto45]

Love Baird...COOLEST!!! :D

[@PrometheuzReturns]

Fred Tast- wait he did mad voiceover work for mgs4 psycho mantis right?

[@SuperToother]

@STUNN3R94 "speak baird" lol awesome

[@AntwanFuzznips]

Fred also voices Saren from Mass Effect.

[@OoLowrieoO]

had no idea miss piggy knew how to shoot a lancer...

[@arampierce34]

he did saren in mass effect

[@hayukson8638]

Bet you didn’t k ow he also voiced soldier 76, Nikolai from nazi zombies, and other extra voices

[@KazDX]

i want him to say.. "dom, don't touch that shit"

[@youneveri]

Gears of war 1 and 2 is d best games I ever played...Can't wait for Gears of War 3

[@ColonDee-]

@SuperPeopleftw I agree. Growing up, he never failed any assignment/test in school. He's a mechanic/electrician, but more so a mechanic. Everybody says that Marcus Fenix is smart, but he's not. Baird is smart, while Marcus Fenix is wise.

[@RunningHarmony]

Looking at the comments I can't help but agree with every single one. Baird is still my fav, but...

[@Gamespflow]

baird is fuckin hilarious

[@Desiderium]

One of his necks disliked the video.

[@patrickh92able]

damn baird really let himself go

[@somethingEPIC2000]

where have i seen him before

[@reifsneider]

what are you, the gears of war title police?

[@videogameaddict54]

as soon as i saw his face i laughed...hard

[@Em34ME]

Baird pwns as if baird dies i will cry:(

[@TECKNADEFILMGUIDEN]

he is also actor to nikolai in black ops zombies

[@yrti0121]

@LordVerdo oh yes we do!!! :D xx BAIRD IS A LEGEND!!!

[@TECKNADEFILMGUIDEN]

THAT GUY MAKES NIKOLAIS VOICE IN BLACK OPS ZOMBIES!

[@jackbaker2152]

He also voiced Tai

[@KAIIRU.]

He reminds me of Ganon.

[@tuaboy0255]

Not what I was suspecting

[@BishtrainerTai16]

Ok, Im not going to let this deter my sexy Baird thoughts. Ahem. Hes right about voice acting. People forget it requires ACTING and being good at it. The only difference in the booth is you dont spend 4 hours getting makeup and costume ready.

[@kagame1726]

Soldier 76 brought me here

[@HaloHierach]

@MartinRusin He's not, the Engineer is voiced by Grant Goodeve

[@Antimanele104]

Hard to believe this guy voices Zeratul.

[@jhedatitan4228]

I went back and beat gears 2 again and he called Carmine a idiot 😂
