Actor Clancy Brown, known for voicing a character in the original Fallout game, makes a surprise appearance as the US President in the penultimate episode of Fallout season 2. The cameo occurs during a flashback involving the handover of cold fusion technology. This Easter egg adds to the show's nods to the video game series.
The latest episode of Amazon's Fallout TV series, season 2 episode 7 titled "The Handoff," features a notable cameo that delights fans of the original video games. Published reports highlight that Clancy Brown, who voiced Rhombus—the head knight of the Lost Hills chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel in the 1997 Fallout game—portrays the President of the United States in a key flashback scene.
In the episode, which aired on January 28, 2026, the story advances the plot around cold fusion technology. Cooper Howard, played by Walton Goggins, meets with the President to hand over this powerful invention, trusting that the leader will use it responsibly. The scene underscores themes of power and decision-making in the pre-apocalyptic world that sets the stage for the Fallout universe's post-nuclear chaos.
This appearance serves as another Easter egg connecting the show to its gaming roots. Just last week, episode 6 included a familiar face from the games, continuing the series' tradition of subtle references. Fallout season 2, like its first, comprises eight episodes and is releasing weekly on Wednesdays, with the first episode dropping early on December 16, 2025. The season finale airs on February 4, 2026.
The show's cast, including returning stars Ella Purnell as Lucy, Aaron Moten as Maximus, and new addition Justin Theroux as Mr. House, has contributed to its acclaim as a standout video game adaptation. Season 3 is already in development, with writing underway and filming set to begin in May 2026. These cameos enhance the immersive experience for longtime fans, blending nostalgia with the series' expansive narrative.
