20 Things You Didn't Know About Gears Of War
14. Ice-T Leaked His Gears Of War 3 Involvement
Dave Bautista isn't the first celebrity fan wanting a piece of Sera's action. Epic Games originally cast Drake as Jayson Stratton, only for the musician to relinquish the part after scheduling clashes. Creed's Michael B Jordan took the role instead.
Ice-T is no stranger to voice work, lending his voice as Madd Dog in GTA: San Andreas, himself in Def Jam: Fight for NY and an alien version of himself in Rick and Morty. Ice-T was well-known as a Gears of War fan, and wound up asking Cliff Bleszinski directly for a part.
His wish came true in the end, but not before he accidentally leaked his casting while answering questions in a Ustream, before quickly adding "I didn't just say that."
If you never realised the rapper voiced the Stranded leader, there are a few clues hidden in Aaron Griffin's design. The broken clock around his neck is stuck at 6 a.m. a reference to his song 6 ‘N the Morning. Griffin also sports a gold knuckle duster reading "DRAMA", referring to his song of the same name.
