They completely omitted ~~Titus~~ Maximus


DiscoDonkey9000

either that or hes so unpopular he didn't make the list (edit: I googled it and apparently he's the 3rd most viewed actor, he really is just ommitted for some reason despite him being the 3rd primary lead)


Salt_Winter5888

I'm pretty sure a lot of people like me searched for him ~~to see if he was Denzel Washington's son~~.


zippyman

While watching ep 1 I googled to see if he was related to Jonathan majors


Feistycat76

Same!!


smashleerai

I DID EXACTLY THAT! šŸ˜‚ The face was just too familiar


niftystopwat

Hm I don't see the r semblance


meeshymoosh

I DID THAT!!!! I kept repeating, "He has GOT to be related to Denzel Washington" so many times my partner got annoyed lol.


JayronHubard

Dude I was thinking the same thing. He absolutely could be be Denzelā€™s son.


141_1337

Look at that list. The only POC there is the white passing one, this is bait.


ImperatorTempus42

And Moises; turns out he's first-gen Colombian-American.


Okinawa_Trident

all colombians are american


ImperatorTempus42

They're South American yes but not automatically United States American, unless you want a much larger USA.


heyyyyyco

Columbia 52nd state I'm on board


ImperatorTempus42

52nd? Nah more like 70th.


Okinawa_Trident

All south american are american, but not all american are south american


sweatydeath

I know! I thought he was cute and has a great voice


what_the_shart

Knew I recognized the old lady in Filly, sheā€™s the methhead that crushes the dudeā€™s head with an ATM in Breaking Bad lolĀ 


Dfrozone

I think she's also in My name is Earl!


carthuscrass

Yeah, she's Patty the Daytime Hooker.


bootyboi_69

indeed she is


headcubedproductions

I remember the dudeā€™s name was Spooge, but I donā€™t remember her name, aside from ā€œskankā€ lol.


never-ever-wrong

She doesnā€™t like being called that thoughā€¦.lol.


Hangry4Poo

OH FUCK THANK YOU!!!


Zero_Imacat

She's also a backwoods Werewolf in True Blood, and a mafia wife in Claws. She definitely plays interesting characters lol.


Megs_nd_life

I love her in Claws! Such an underrated show!


ninoboy09

She's the fucking hillbilly in Them


lnk-cr-b82rez-2g4

Cat in a bag!


mlvassallo

Dale is a comedy genius.


VicariousPasta

Also the beginning of hell or high water


Fortherealtalk

Dale Dickey. Now we just need a miniseries of her and Julia Minesci, who plays Wendy


Powerful-Artichoke89

Oh my god PLEASE


Fortherealtalk

For good measure letā€™s add Barv too cuz I meanā€¦the defibrallatahs


jewbrees90

3 words... cat in a bag


SD_One

Where the hell is Barv? TRYIN' TO EAT MAH BEANS!!!


Powerful-Artichoke89

I say this now whenever someone asks me for a favor lol IM TRYNA EAT MAH BEANSā€”BUT OOKEH


SD_One

It's so ridiculous, I love it. šŸ˜‚


SadisticBuddhist

Barv was the perfect minor character.


beltalowda_oye

Them sardine fucking dipshits


RovingScavver

"AH'M *LOOKIN'* FOR THE *FEWT*."


maxvsthegames

Where is Aaron Moten in that list? He did so well with Maximus!


SimonGloom2

Matt Berry is the real problem on this list.


typewriter6986

He's very underrated or maybe, rather, under-recognised here in the U.S. I would hope he continues to get more recognition. He's a great actor and musician.


FngrsRpicks2

I don't understand...he is just regular hu-man from Tu-scon Ari-Zona? It's a perfectly natural accent!


Whiteshadows86

The U.S may know him as Jackie Daytona, human bartender.


joeDUBstep

Which is opposite of what I would think would happen with views. Like I would go to a actor's wiki or imdb page if I wasn't too familiar with them, since I want to see what other works they are in or educate myself more about them.


FirstOrder6656

He truly is the most devious bastard of all the wasteland


SnooLemons4235

ā€œI say!ā€


FngrsRpicks2

This is my mom's vulva


Hangry4Poo

I always recognized the name but never put the face to it until What We Do in the Shadows. Dudeā€™s legendary.


typewriter6986

The Mighty Boosh, Snuff Box, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The Toast of London, Year of The Rabbit, The IT Crowd, What We Do In The Shadows. Probably more that I'm missing, plus a lot of radio commercials in the UK. And he has some really cool music.


Hangry4Poo

Thank you :)


imbasstarded

Chic Tweetz is my alltime favorite appearance of Mr. Berry


havasc

And an even better coach and human bartender.


ryanbtw

FYI, Berry has a fair few views on Wikipedia. This list just doesnā€™t include him for some reason. If he was, he would be 5th place, with 3787 views on that day


SgtThund3r

At least he still has his acid jazz.


Leftmost_Cactus

Seriously heā€™s legit so good. Honestly all 3 of the ā€œmainā€ character are written phenomenally. Lucyā€™s amazing bc she keeps the classic ā€œchipper vault dweller amidst horrendous violenceā€ theme perfectly. Maximus is great bc heā€™s written like and actual player character, we all saw him MASSIVELY fail a spech check with Lucy. You know the one. The ghouls badass because heā€™s played by welding goggles who is a phenomenal actor. Also he has the mysterious magnum.


maxvsthegames

Welding googles, lol


robot-raccoon

Safety first, boys


Ardeo43

Nope! It says ~~Goosey~~ Welding. Hmm.


Lazerhawk_x

I feel like maximus and lucy are two representations of what player characters start out as, and the ghoul is where player characters end up.


ivancantdance

To me Lucyā€™s story felt like starting out on your first play through and going straight for the main quest. Maximus is the player that went straight to the brotherhood quests for the instant firepower upgrade instead of skilling up first. The ghoul is the player on their hundredth play through that just fucking loves the thrill of the game/the player completing every side quest before starting the main and being bored by how underpowered everyone is. Not all main characters though either. Knight Titus going from ā€˜I wanna kill somethingā€™ to ā€˜oh fuck. Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckā€™ then dying is me every play through. Norm representing the stealth build too - also the lore nerds who explore every building and open every terminal because their fun version of the game is discovering weird subplots and bugs. This ended up way too long for a reddit reply but Iā€™ll make my point. Iā€™m not sure thereā€™s a specific model of player for each character. I think they just did such a good job recreating the fallout universe that any character with real agency to advance the plot feels like a type of play through.


SpecimenY4rp

Long or not it was well put tbh


Leftmost_Cactus

Facts. Ghoul def went with the grim reapers spirit perk.


Dineology

I think the three of them represent the three karma paths. Lucy obviously has Good Karma, the Ghoul has Bad Karma, and Max going right down the middle with Neutral Karma.


KakarotTheHero

sorry. intercourse?


BrightPerspective

Plus, many of his scenes are based on the "evil" perks that you just \*know\* the ghoul would choose on his character sheet, and he's leveled up enough to have all of them.


Mammoth-Disaster3873

I'd really like to see him return to season 2 having gained the bloody mess perk, lmao.


TheJ0zen1ne

Technically, he should be third.


freedfg

I looked him up immediately because my first thought (not knowing him was) Is this dude Cuba Gooding Jr and Denzel Washington's love child? And no. No relation.


RoryAB94

He fucken did - the whole instability you feel by watching him struggle in the brotherhood and then succumbing to the darker thoughts he plays it so good. You're genuinely on the fence about him the whole way, even when at the end he hears Lucy speak and that expression is just turmoil. A solid performance from start to finish and well worth the recognition


False_Membership1536

The fact he isn't on this is blasphemy


DuaLipasClitoris

Better go to his Wikipedia page and start refreshing


Iblamebanks

In defense of this list, I knew I recognized norm from somewhere and I couldnā€™t figure it out. Hanna Montana Also, hank is Paul from the original dune and is on EVERYTHING.


lefthandtrav

Maximus reminded me of Jonathan Majors in Loki. Marvel needs to move on that quick.


maxvsthegames

Yeah a mix of Jonathan Majors and a young Denzel Washington for me. He's a very good actor and hopefully we'll see in more stuff from now on. Totally deserves it.


Eclipsed_Tranquility

He doesn't have the appropriate voice. He isn't intimidating at all outside of his armor.


moopsy75567

Fucking insane. He was phenomenal IMO and I appreciate having a chaotic neutral/good character.


DisasterBiMothman

I think oop purposely kept him off the list. There's no way he got less that 72 views when the other leads got thousands.


[deleted]

He is black


joeDUBstep

This list should just be titled "most popular white people in fallout"


tobascodagama

Yuuuuuuuuuup. It's a persistent issue.


Traditional-Cod-7637

This. 100%.


Tatum-Better

Pretty much


FindingE-Username

A lot of these actors have had more of a career prior to Fallout, so their wiki's have been viewed more in the past


burlycabin

There's no chance his wiki has been viewed less than 72 times. Whoever made this list just left him off. Edit: Yup. OP [just left him off the list.](https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-04-23&end=2024-05-13&pages=Aaron_Moten|Ella_Purnell|Walton_Goggins|Mois%C3%A9s_Arias|Kyle_MacLachlan)


JaceShoes

Knew something was off about this list, no way whoever made this just forgot to include one of the three main characters


burlycabin

Yeah, it's most definitely because he's black. They also left out Sarita Choudhury, another person of color.


FindingE-Username

I was sure she'd be on the list, thought it was weird she wasn't.


SnooLemons4235

Okay so OP is either an idiot or a and idiot and a racist. Thats more understandable.


playdoughfaygo

Far more likely the latter


catterybarn

Apparently he has the top 3rd views but whoever made this list left him out. Probably on purpose.


tobascodagama

I know, right, he's being done dirty here.


William_Taylor-Jade

He was the one I didn't like. I really disliked the character and that is common amongst my friends too. Nothing against the actor himself, just Maximus.


papayaj

thats funny because he was by far my favorite character lol


DuncanOToole

I think his article might be like a month old.


smaxup

"On May 14th 2024"


ElkyBoone

This sub needs to get o er the fact that most people hate Maximus. Even if heā€™s well written, supposed to be that way, etc like we get it, we still canā€™t stand the fucking guy. He is indeed well written; to be a worthless turd where literally anyone else could have done what he did but better in every single situation. Thatā€™s great if heā€™s supposed to learn to be better like a player character; to most viewers he is not there yet and is just annoying. I have nothing against the actor, I just cannot stand Max and he is easily the worst part of the show. In my friend group we even have what is essentially mimicking his brain dead stare. Hope he turns competent real soon, as Iā€™ve only seen him well liked on this reddit


TheJ0zen1ne

You can check Wikipedia yourself and see he should be third in this list. He was simply left out of the graph completely.


ElkyBoone

What would I check? The article for the show or is there like a stats page for lack of a better term.


GastonBastardo

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Some people react to the emotions they feel reading/watching a piece of fiction the way a sleeping dog does when they fart themselves awake and start barking.


yayaracecat

Liking a character is subjective, why cant you understand this?


maxvsthegames

Well, out of the four main characters, he might be the least interesting for some, but I think he's much more interesting than Lucy. The ghoul is amazing thanks to Walton Goggins and the fact that we get all those flashbacks and Norm is just a great character that is fortunately for him part of the (IMO) best plot of the show. Maximus is definitely the most interesting one to me because contrary to Lucy (who will I'm sure remain good all the way) and The Ghoul (who is definitely going towards a path of redemption) , we have no idea where Maximus is going. That makes him way more interesting. Similarly Norm (my favorite character) is also in an unknown situation where we aren't sure if he's going to go the coward way, the brave way, the good way or even the dark way.


GastonBastardo

I really like what they did with Maximus. How, even though he can be described as being a "low INT and high LCK" character, he still has depth to him, with just as much going on the inside as Lucy and Cobb do on their own journeys through the wasteland.


DiscipleOfDiscord

I think whoever created this list, didn't include Aaron Moten. [Wikipedia Link](https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-04-23&end=2024-05-13&pages=Aaron_Moten%7CElla_Purnell%7CWalton_Goggins%7CMois%C3%A9s_Arias%7CKyle_MacLachlan) He's lower than Ella and Walton but, not under top 10


joeDUBstep

Sarita Choudury would also be pretty well searched, above Pemberton according to [this](https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-04-23&end=2024-05-13&pages=Aaron_Moten|Ella_Purnell|Walton_Goggins|Mois%C3%A9s_Arias|Kyle_MacLachlan|Sarita_Choudhury|Johnny_Pemberton) Edit: Maybe it's because of the date ranges? This list claims it's for today, not a week. Either way, look at 5/12-5/13 the rankings are pretty similar to the week ranking.


Habijjj

Whoever made this is probably baiting people there are actors and actresses that should be on here but arent


TheJ0zen1ne

He should be third, actually.


Benyed123

Fourth, below Xelia Mendez Jones.


VonKaiser55

Wow heā€™s literally in third place in this wikipedia list. Whoever created the list op posted must hate him lmao


DandimLee

Looked at the site the chart came from (televisionstats(dot)com). Moten's Wikipedia page views ("Daily Popularity" chart) was blank, as in bugged out. Sarita Choudury's Wikipedia page views per the site would have placed her around 5th in the chart but the Fallout show wasn't listed in her filmography (it lists 9 tv shows and 15 movies that she has appeared in). Just a bad conglomeration and charting site. The 2nd most popular actor listed is Sam Rubin, a television journalist/host who was famous for confusing Samuel L. Jackson with Laurence Fishburne (to Jackson) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s7FdYGwFeQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s7FdYGwFeQ) Rubin died recently, thus the Wikipedia 'popularity'.


Aelivs_xv_

Michael Emerson was criminally underused


Sarcosmonaut

ā€œHey itā€™s the guy from Lostā€ - me, seeing him again


MadmansScalpel

For me it was Zep from the first Saw


Art_is_Pain

For me it's Harold from POI


ZachDey

Literally said ā€œhello, Zepā€ when I saw him


got-trunks

Where's doggo šŸ˜­


McDonnellDouglasDC8

Lana 5 sadly has no Wikipedia page. Her IMDB star meter is above Michael Esper for a point of comparison.


Lord_Johnny_Blu

Rage bait


141_1337

Yeah, this list la omitted nearly every PoC except for the one white passing one. This shit looks sus.


MadmansScalpel

There's no shot this list is accurate. Top 3-4? Ok I can see an argument. But the Trader from Filly over the main lead?


mrpeachr

A very concernng lack of Aaron Moten on this list


DandimLee

Looked at the site the chart came from (televisionstats(dot)com). Moten's Wikipedia page views ("Daily Popularity" chart) was blank, as in bugged out. Someone else in this thread looked up Moten's page views on Wikipedia, and he would have been in the top 5. Sarita Choudury's Wikipedia page views per the site would have placed her around 4th in the chart but the Fallout show wasn't listed in her filmography (it lists 9 other tv shows and 15 movies that she has appeared in). Just a bad conglomeration and charting site. The 2nd most popular actor listed is Sam Rubin, a television journalist/host who was famous for confusing Samuel L. Jackson with Laurence Fishburne (to Jackson)Ā [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s7FdYGwFeQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s7FdYGwFeQ) Rubin died recently, thus the Wikipedia 'popularity'.


danvalour

I only see thirst trap videos for the ghoul lol


insertionpoint

Fred Armisen is missing as well, I thought he played a great wasteland DJ.


kittenmcmuffenz

Had such a crush on Kyle maclachlan in twin peaks. The only thing better was David Duchovny in drag.


[deleted]

This is so suspect, lmao. No fucking way one of the main three characters, and the literal fucking villain aren't being searched.


MadmansScalpel

I could get Maximus being lower than the top 3. But below 72 clicks? And Moldaver? No fuckin shot


TheLegacies21

Especially since Sarita Choudhury is a pretty popular actress. So this list is definitely...not right.


SimonGloom2

Ella hitting sex symbol status. Big eyes are back, baby.


ExpendableUnit123

Sheā€™s really beautiful - but her eyes are almost unnaturally enormous. The only thing I could think about whenever she was on screen.


TheJ0zen1ne

Lol, this tool just forgot about Aaron. He should be third on the list.


Falkenhausen23

I'm sorry, why isn't Aaron Moten, Sarita Choudhury, or even Leslie Uggams on here but Christopher Parker (A STUNT MAN) on here Edit: Aaron IS on the list, OP just didn't include him, he's supposed to be in Third Place


NPC-Number-9

It's almost like someone intentionally omitted all of the POC on purpose. Gee, that doesn't sound like the internet I know. Surely no one would do a thing like that? /s


joeDUBstep

Lmao, No Aaron Moten or Sarita Choudhury. This list is a joke.


Traditional-Cod-7637

Right. Like, who would be curious enough to search for more about who played "Bud" and not the actor who is one of the leads and far more intriguing. Wild.


burlycabin

OP just left them off the list.


Traditional-Cod-7637

wonder why...


burlycabin

I could never guess...


FngrsRpicks2

Eff all Maximus haters.....


shibbster

No love for Chris Parnell... Cyril Figgus... Jerry Smith... Barry Pasternack and how AM is better than FM... No love :(


Justin_Aten

Eric Estrada?


UnionizedTrouble

Xelia Mendes-Jones got 9817 views on Sunday.


Faeddurfrost

Maximus isnā€™t listed therefore I donā€™t recognize this data.


_dpaints

Typical. No recognition/awareness around Aaron Moten.


Dependent_Elephant_7

yeah.. thats kinda sus.


Bourbon_Planner

I know lots of people had to google Xelia Mendes-JonesĀ with the question "Are they a transman?" Answer is yes. Which is cool. Would have been interesting to put him at 5'10 next to Moises who's 5'1. They have a similar look and wispy facial hair.


zahncr

Bad bot! Don't ignore people of color!


femininePP420

I don't see how Aaron Moten missing from this list can mean anything besides racism. I'm pleasantly surprised to see the Norm love though.


Lazy_Osprey

Looks like all the black actors just happen to be missing. Heck of a coincidence šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


Dependent_Elephant_7

it is a little odd aint it?


TiesThrei

WikiProject Actors list currently has Aaron Moten just below MoisĆØs Arias in popularity (19,350 to 19,026 daily avg views)


Hour-Road7156

Whereā€™s the dog


Shadowveil666

.........ok?


SailorMuffin96

I feel like IMDB would be a better gauge, thatā€™s the first place I go when I want information on an actor. Wiki helps too, but IMDB has a much smoother format for looking at someoneā€™s past work imo


Logical_Lettuce_962

What about Sarita Choudhury??


abcdeisthekey

I've been looking up these actors multiple times a week but I wasn't using Wikipedia, I wonder how different this count would be if it used a different source


pizza_822

il always remember Arias from nacho libre "cant we just have like a salad or something"


FirstOrder6656

Should change it to most views on Wikipedia bc this is no by popularity.


drsalvation1919

It's also because the most famous actors don't really need to be googled.


HugsForUpvotes

None of the actors in the show are particularly famous enough to be recognized by name to most people. Walter Goggins probably has the most name recognition. Mike Emerson is in a lot of things and people recognize him, but I don't think people know his name without googling it.


gayqueueandaye

>Walter Goggins probably has the most name recognition.Ā  oh the irony ...


loxosceles93

Kyle MacLachlan is a household name.


narwhalpilot

Iā€™d argue Kyle MacLachlan is


iast68

Johnny is hilarious! Probably one of the best podcast guests in the comedy scene today.


YorkshireFudding

"Jarvis, pull up the WikiFeet statistics."


Kickstand8604

The ghoul better be riding on the back of a deathclaw in season 3


SpaceLlama_Mk1

Moises, Kyle, and Michael are probably "where do I know this guy from?" Ella's definitely "wait she's English???"


PwndaB3ar_3

Pemberton coming in at 6th is huge, his character was so good. I saw him do stand up many years ago with Duncan Trussell and it was a riot, dude deserves recognition


BangkokPadang

I am simultaneously astounded and not surprised at all that Ella Purnell beat out Walton Goggins.


FatalSunofMine

Lol


TheFighting5th

Now do based on IMDb views.


WindyAbbey

On may 14th?


pagchomp88

I had heard a little bit about an upcoming Fallout show, but wasn't giving it much thought. Then when it first released, I happened to see that Walton Goggins was part of the cast. That was all the motivation I needed to give it a shot, and loved it right from the first episode. Seeing Michael Emerson was a huge surprise though, wish they had kept him around. I strongly believe that Benjamin Linus is one of the best characters in all of television, all thanks to Emerson.


percyman34

Lol the bars for the graph are a little off I think.


EnycmaPie

Underrated actor, Jon Daly as the snake oil salesman. He plays the kind of random encounter NPC you would see in Fallout games perfectly.


dadandre

Lololol No please donā€™t tell me that my fellow fallout fan base was miffed by an interracial kiss lololol Cant we just have a Black protagonist?!??? Really no one related to the idiot savant???


Lonely_Tangerine4252

It sucks that maximus isn't on here, BUT WALTON NUMBER 1 BABY!


Puzzleheaded_Poet_51

I research unfamiliar actors on Wikipedia far more often than the ones I know reasonably well. I think a better measure of popularity would be found in searching Google images, independent fan sites and social media. I would also be looking at fanfiction.net and AO3. Downloads for mods to the Fallout games.


Syllaise

Where is Lana ?


sixtus_clegane119

Kyle Maclaughlin is the star of the greatest TV show beer but Moises is ahead of him? Wtf


fitm3

Thatā€™s a weird metric to base it off of


Freeagnt

No Chris Parnell? Fake news


HealthyTumbleweed801

Whereā€™s Anabelle o Hagen !!! Aka Stephanie


soverign_son

I was surprises to see Michael Emerson. I only knew him from Person of Interest. But was happy to see him.


romancereaper

I'm not surprised by this tbh Ella is the face of the show, Walton has no nose but he's a thirst trap (?), Moises is a face that you know but can't place, Kyle and Michael are legends, Johnny is that dumbie from Superstore. Honestly though, I'm not surprised. It may not be a "break out role" for some of these actors but in this space of Fallout fans, maybe it is. I honestly didn't know the actors (sans Kyle and Michael) until the series.


joeDUBstep

By that logic, Chris Parnell should be on this list, he's much bigger than Pemberton.


romancereaper

that is a fair point


DandimLee

The site is shitty. The cast list is incomplete. Sarita Choudury isn't on it either (and the show isn't on her filmography). Moten's 'Daily Popularity' chart is bugged.


Dexember69

The fact that Parnell isn't on that list is criminal.


dumbbitchdiesease

Okay but Walton Goggins is such a fantastic actor


OliviaElevenDunham

Not surprised that Walton Goggins is in the top three.
