Interview with BO2 actor reveals recruitment strategy

[Carlos]

A website got ahold of Rich McDonald, to discuss his acting role in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It reveals hordes of new info about the actor, and how he was recruited to the production of the game.

Ian: Right now your most recent project is playing Commander David Mason in the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II. With this being your first video game role, can you tell us a bit about how you heard about the project and ultimately became a part of it?

Rich: I shot a film named BlackJacks (to be released in 2013) where I worked along side James C. Burns. In this film he is my team leader and somewhat of a father figure. While on set, he mentioned that he wanted to drop my name to the casting office for Black Ops. Eventually I was brought in for an audition, but more than a month went by before I heard anything. Finally I was brought in to audition in front of Dave Anthony. I did my job, and he offered me the job on the spot. I had to be careful not to break anything at that point as my excitement was almost uncontainable.[/LEFT]
