The Fallout TV series proves that live-action video game adaptations don’t have to suck. They can remain faithful to the source material while still taking some liberties and creating an exceptional viewing experience for long-time fans and new ones alike. A big part of the success of the show is the extraordinary casting. But who is Xelia Mendes-Jones in Fallout?
Who is Xelia Mendes-Jones?
Xelia Mendes-Jones (He/They) is an actor known for numerous roles, including The Wheel of Time and Fallout.
In Fallout, they play Dane, a Brotherhood of Steel Squire, formerly an Aspirant, who is chosen to serve Knight Titus. Dane only features in a few of the show’s episodes as a minor character to help flesh out Maximus’ character arc but still takes the viewers for a loop. Their deadpan delivery and nonchalant manner prove interesting.
Furthermore, Dane is only the second non-binary character in Fallout’s history, the first being Burke from Fallout 76.
