Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a popular title with millions of fans across the globe. While its advertising campaign had iconic imagery of real soldiers in their gear, many fans have not considered the people under the armor. When one Call of Duty: Modern Warfare actor tried to share his hard work, this kid had a hard time accepting the truth.
Call of Duty hires tons of different actors to stand in as iconic characters from the franchise. While these actors are well known visually, their names tend to get pushed into the background and replaced by the character's name. This means that many of the unique people who pose for Call of Duty advertising tend to be unknown to the general public.
In the clip created by TooFab.com, the famous Call of Duty: Modern Warfare actor is seen showing off a signature poster where his face is prominently displayed. In the clip, a skeptical Walmart employee and Call of Duty star Rib Hillis stand in front of the poster, comparing his face to the iconic image. While the employee does agree that his hair, face line, and general appearance match, the fact that Rib Hillis is in Montana keeps him from acknowledging the truth. The kid confesses to not believing him, and in a final attempt to convince him, he buys a copy of the poster, which finally breaks the guy's skepticism and gives him a fist bump of approval.
To make this even more interesting, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare cover poster was sold out. In dedication to Hillis, the employee allows him to take the floor sample of the poster and can be seen carrying it out of the store. This is a strange yet beautiful encounter that many fans do not get to have.
There are many Call of Duty actors who have embraced their characters. From online streaming to dedicated cosplays, it is always interesting to see them appear in a variety of Call of Duty situations. While many of them have reoccurring roles, sometimes they only appear once and get cycled out as the game continues to be produced.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare might be rotating out, but the game continues to remain popular among fans. As players continue to dedicate time to the title, the original actors get more attention as time goes on. From playing games to commenting on fan posts, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare community is still supported by the original character actors.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
