Fallout Season 2: How the Script Protected THAT Big Reveal | Set Stories

Rafi Silver sits down with Collider to unpack one of Fallout’s most closely guarded secrets and what it was like playing a character fans thought they already understood. In this exclusive Fallout behind-the-scenes interview, Silver describes walking onto the Lucky 38 set and feeling as though he’d stepped directly into Fallout: New Vegas. From the casino floor to Robert House’s penthouse, the production recreated the game’s world in extraordinary detail, including full-scale securitrons and Victor built practically rather than added in post. Silver opens up about working with Justin Theroux, who plays the real Robert House, and sharing scenes with Walton Goggins as Cooper Howard. He explains how the layered performance — a man pretending to be Robert House — required deep research into the game’s lore, fan theories, and character history, much of it sourced from YouTube creators and longtime Fallout fans. The conversation also touches on unexpected production delays caused by California fires, the ensemble-like atmosphere that emerged from that experience, and why Episode 5 is the moment Silver has been waiting years for audiences to see. For fans of the games, he hints that this reveal may change how New Vegas is viewed — and replayed — going forward. 0:00 Introduction – Rafi Silver on joining Fallout 0:49 Walking into New Vegas & the Lucky 38 set 1:34 Practical robots, securitrons, and puppetry 2:22 Meeting Justin Theroux on set 3:29 “Dude playing a dude” explained 4:00 Production delays, fires, and ensemble spirit 5:23 Acting alongside Walton Goggins 6:24 Shooting the Lucky 38 exterior overnight 8:16 Keeping the Robert House secret 10:03 Episode 5 and fan reactions teased Our Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/collider/ www.x.com/Collider Our Website https://www.collider.com For copyright matters, please contact us at: [email protected] #fallout #rafisilver #collider
