Gears Of War Gets Some Spice

Gears Of War Gets Some Spice

None

It appears that Isaiah Mustafa, who you would probably recognize as “the Old Spice Guy,” is expanding his horizons. Mustafa has purportedly signed on to play a COG Gear in the upcoming Gears of War 3.

Mustafa joins a star-studded cast of voiced actors including John DiMaggio (Bender from Futurama), Ice T (the badass from Law and Order: SVU), and Claudia Black (Angelique from Rango). His role hasn’t been very well defined at this point, but he’ll probably be wearing a shirt, which is disappointing. Cliff Bleszinski, the design director for Gears, said, “The cast just keeps getting sexier and sexier.” I think we can all agree with that.



Epic Games has a long history of interacting directly with their fans, and the addition of Isaiah Mustafa to the Gears cast shows that they definitely understand their audience. Mustafa became an internet sensation last year thanks to his comically over-sexed Old Spice commercials.

Gears of War 3 is due out in September.
