The story behind the creation of Vaas:
Behind the scenes exclusive with Michael Mando (Vaas) for Far Cry 3 - courtesy of G4Tv.
January 2012 Игры
He said that he felt lucky that he was there, I think Ubisoft is lucky to have him audition for the game.
Wise words.
+1 totally right
i feel like if he didn't audition we would have had a while different character from the vaas we know
cannot agree more
He originally applied for a different role entirely but ubisoft loved him so much they CREATED vaas around his audition! he originally wasn't even in the game!
"Small" character. He is what made FC3's story worthwhile.
Funny how everyone likes him more than the main character
I think Ubisoft mocap director said it so they won't put so much of a pressure on him, from his humble looking I can say he hasn't gone big yet, so in conclusion I think the director had made the right call and just let him do his job.
Great and simple psychological thinking I must say.
@@relictusimperator8647 Jason was just a generic whiny edgy kid, whereas Vaas had some different purpose in the game. That's why
He was the only thing remotely original and entertaining about this game. This type of thing is what art lacks as a whole.
The original antagonist for Far Cry 3, Ubisoft's character was supposed to be 6 "6". So when he means small he means his height. Which is no where near 6 "6". Hes not small but compared to him he is small, shit a guy who is 6 ft is small to a guy who is 6 "6". That's what he ment by small
I couldn't imagine FC3 without Vaas or Michael Mando.

+over9000
Same here... I am now playing the game over again... The first half is far more awesome then the second just cause of Vaas...
as soon i kill Vas i thought i was done i realize i not done
Vaas utterly stole the show on this.
actually liked Vaas more than the protagonist >_
+Boink Ogre more than the whole fucking cast of "main characters". honestly, I really could give a fuck about the whole lot of them.
Kermicheo Kermit they should have made a dlc wherein they tell Vaas story, how he became corrupted.
Me too
+Boink Ogre They did. It was the same as Jason's xD
Everyone did
Vaas needs his own game
Yeah they should release a DLC of how Vaas became a pirate warlord
@@ianviardo9101 Right .... In all honesty im pretty sure you could make a pretty good movie about his descent
@D_ans the kid in FarCry 6 may be Vaas
I would love that so much.
GTA 6
"I like this phone. Thats a nice fucking phone" Vass FTW!
✌🙌😂
Vaas is the best gaming character ever!
Maybe,maybe he is the best
Pagan .Min Yep.
best villain in the history of video games IMO
Pagan .Min We will about you in November.
69 LIKES!!!
Best antagonist in a video game ever. So much more personality than generic bad guys.
Him and Pagan were so well-written.
I didn't even want to kill him
Mike Roberts and
Massive exaggeration calling him the best antagonist ever.
@@Heroics64 Not an exaggeration. I can't think of a better villain.
its so weird seeing vass talking so nicely and normally that its almost scary
I am less scared of him when he is shouting expletives and threatening to murder everyone
all of what vaas does is just an act as seen as how calm he is when nobody is looking or when hes talking to hoyt, its a self defense mechanism
Vass Plays Michael Mando Very well.
It's because he is vaas. He created the character according to his personality.
Nuke lol he was clearly being sarcastic also this guys comment is 6 years old I doubt he will respond
@@dnxl1821 True and Wrong, Lol
Twinblade you're still alive ?
Twinblade ow wow cant believe u have had the same account for 6 years how do you keep ur passwords
bless you for creating one of my all time favorite characters
I think that he played him so well that I hated him, I just wanted to kill him ^^
Indeed!
i refused to play farcry for like a week on the scene that you had to kill vaas...
? Why? Wouldn't you want to kill vaas?
no, vaas was my favourite character.
They should have at LEAST made him the final boss...he was too popular not to be.
What if it was a plot twist and vaas was just your imagination?
Tango has a good point. But I don't think he's dead I think he survived an plotting revenge
Seriously kudos to this guy. Put him in more games
"A small character"? :p Michael Mando, you are one of the most gifted actors I've seen so far! Keep up the great work.
So glad Nacho manages to escape his life of crime and find fulfilment in acting.
I can't believe our crazy Vaas is just a Normal Person.
Then what am I?
***** probably still killing pirates and mercenaries for fun :D
Either I'm dead and his crazy sister delivers my kid or I'm still somewhere around while Vaas managed to escape the island to give interviews!
TheAsianSensation Do you know the definition of Kindness?
* * * *ACTING!!* * * *
(He happens to be good at it.)
“It wasn’t me! It was Ignacio! I mean Vaas! Or whatever he’s calling himself!”
Hiring Vaas was one of the best ubisof's choices out of all the fails they had.
GamingInSlowMotion does far cry 5 consider a fail too?
@@Err_Or-dw8wq easily farcry 5 was a fail, with a even worse shell of a game after
Michael Mondo did a fcking great job with Vaas and should have been the main villian in Far Cry 3. That you kill him early in the story is just wrong, Ubisoft main focus should have evolved around Vaas the entire game and not moved beyond him to Hoyt. This character got BIG, the fans loves him and If you see this Michael Mondo, i thank you for you good work making the voice and apperance of Vaas and you just become one of my favorite actors :)
Didn't you watch the video? Vaas didn't even exist until Michael Mando went in to audition. It wasn't about him being the main focus or not. They already had the game pretty much made and went back to add him in BECAUSE he was so good.
Agree Vaas was a way better character than Hoyt
Vaas was a more important character than Hoyt but it's Jason not Hoyt that's most important to the story, and Vaas (or rather his death) is a big point in how things go after Jason's last encounter with him
@@ohaimark4180 indeed and the duality of jason and vaas is pretty amazing
If you wanna see a good series that features Michael Mando, I highly recommend you Better Call Saul, he firstly appears in the first season and has a big role throughout the whole series, but I'm not gonna spoiler anything. Btw, it's a spinn-off of Breaking Bad, so if you haven't seen it yet you might wanna watch it before Better Call Saul. (Both are amazing series btw)
Out of all the games I've ever played, Vass is the best character I've ever seen. The voice acting combined with the body movements was just epic. It made you forget a lot of times that he was just a digital character in a video game. Mando did a superb job at making him come to life.
You know what would be great, is if ubisoft made a prequel exploring how Vaas came to power. And then it ends when Jason and his friends came to the island.
Bet ya it'll sell like hotcakes, even if you just play as Vaas' aide
It's called better call saul
+Rhyme Villegas Shoot, it'd probably be better than FC3 itself. I so much dislike Jason, I can't even express it. But Vaas saved the game.
+Rhyme Villegas
That would be so awesome o: A game where you see how Vaas came to be Vaas. From his childhood, growing up with Citra, to when he first encountered Hoyt, ending with hearing from Doug about a new shipment. Would totally buy that game c:
+KineticRhyme UBISOFT PLEASE DO IT!!!!!
Yeah, little Vaas, Vaas' first girlfriend, Vaas at school... :D Then Vaas becoming disappointed with the world and started being... Vaas. :)
Vaas is my favourite character of all time :)
His have I failed to entertain you line is one of the best trolls against trollers ever!!!
i love him as an actor so much, anytime i see him in another movie or game i get super excited just because hes in the cast
yeah a full movie based on Vaas would be so awesome! perhaps a long trilogy or something
VAAS FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!
***** True, But still would be fucking amazing! so sad he died in fc3 :( although It isn't full confirmed as he still moved when he got stabbed
***** Yep. That says it all!!!
Whatever, I didn't wanna sleep tonight anyway.
New far cry villian is president. You saw future? :D
@@PatrykFialkowski Seems like it
And all these years later they have yet to make a villain as compelling, charismatic and terrifying as Vaas again.
Thanks for your work and performance in Farcry 3 Michael Mando.
I have to replay Far Cry 3 now after watching Better Call Saul, it's like an alternate reality where Nacho went insane and escaped from all that Breaking Bad bullsh*t to run his own island as his own criminal empire.
He brought the whole Far Cry franchise back. He definitely played a bigger role than what he was given !
Michael Mando earlier in VAAS now in BETTER CALL SAUL KILLING IT ALWAYS
So what are the chances that vaas is still alive on his island waiting for his next Jason
boom far cry 5 right there
It would have been more interesting, if vass didnt die too early. They could have made it where the poker game happens, Vass walks in & shoot hoit & Took control.
since Michael Mando is working for AMC how about a Vaas in Walking dead !
SharKy, Na, He needs something like breaking bad or scarface, something along those lines. Come on, he naturally looks like kingpin.
true but im just saying their always looking for new psychopaths on that show
"He needs something like breaking bad"
He's literally on Better Call Saul.
Imagine Vaas and Trevor being best friends
World would be in chaos
and Mihael accusing Vaas of being a hipster as well :-)
Vaas would beat Trevor in one second
@@aysesahin8799 I feel like Vaas is legit crazy like a psychopath... Trevor is more violent and a bit of a sadist (Still cool Though)
I mean they’ve been in the same show
Vaas for playable character in Far Cry 4 (prequel to the third)
just before jason and his friends come to the island
But i wanna see him :'( I real wanna see him :( If he would be a playable character in far cry 4 i would just see his hands & maybe a bit of his arm :(
me too
You are a genius Michael ! Thank you for what you brang to the game.
i love this man
I’m only here because I just finished Better Call Saul. Mando is by far the breakout star of that show. He gained a new fan
I have to say, i just stumbled upon this monologue yesterday. I was blown away by it. It is by far one of the best characterization in a game ever. awesome monologue and that character is your own. I will honor you by trying a take on it for one of my acting clases. Hats of to you Michael.
Ayo! Nacho's spinoff game?!
Aha! I *knew* I recognised this guy when I watched Better Call Saul - that Far Cry villain was so damned distinctive and scary. Not often do you watch a TV show and think "yeah, that's the dude from the video game", it's normally the complete opposite.
Same. As soon as he was introduced in better call saul I thought "I KNOW THAT VOICE " and then I recognized him.
You know you have talent when the creative team uses your audition like this. Looking forward to more work from this guy in the future. It'd be a shame to let his insanity go unused.
And now he plays Nacho on Better Call Saul, how far he's come.
3 questions
1: WHY THE F*CK WAS HE NOT THE TRUE MAIN VILLIAN?!?!
2: WHY THE F*CK DID WE HAVE TO KILL HIM SO EARLY??? :( (I would have preferred if we had kept im alive till the end as the final boss with a worthy death)
3: CAN HE PLEASE BE SOME DLC TO HAVE IN FC4???? (Honestly that be sick, as like a playable character for multiplayer)
Hooly shit. I wish these things so bad. Especially the character play (e.g. going around killing natives and taking prisoners or recruiting). That would be sick. Or a mission where you had to collaborate with him.
I understand why a calculative, intelligent sociopath is the bigger villain but having Vaas gone is just not the same.
Kazuite6 Honestly(Don't get me wrong FC3 was in my top 3 favourite games of the 360 era((Number 2)), the campaign kinda fell off for me a little. STILL AMAZING GAME, but would have been better with Vaas still around.
Tyrelle James What you mean ?? you dont kill him in the begening ?.. you kill him at the end.
King Kobi you kill him basically in the middle of the second act
+Tyrelle James He wasn't the main villain because he wasn't a villain in the first place. He was more of an anti-hero.
vaas is by far one of my favorite characters in the whole franchise.
This man really shaped my childhood ngl, cause playing FarCry 3 was a life changing thing. I am 16 years old and playing back in 2016 was awesome. Vaas wasn't a character I hated for the way he acted, the charisma and the tension he made for the character is what I loved about him. So thank you for the great memories.
Michael Mando is definitely a name we gonna hear again. Great job.
This is one of the things that make you realize that Michael Mando is criminally underrated as an actor.
Side note, seeing that G4 logo brought a tear to my eye.
I was so sad when we "killed" vaas he was my favorite
Ik I cried
hopefully he comes back in far cry 4
gearsofwar031 Me too cried a lot he's more like in a comedian show
Really? I was like GOTCHA, BITCH!!!!!! :D
@@Themcquillan i have some news for you
I haven't even played Far Cry 3 but just seeing Michael's performance as Vaas and knowing how iconic he made not only the character, but arguably Far Cry as a series just speaks volumes to how good of an actor he is. I'm so glad to see him in Better Call Saul now, he's fantastic in that.
Mannnn this guy ages like fine wine
Ok so he became big from auditioning for a video game?love to see it man, cause acting in video games is underrated af👏👏👏🔥
love him in better caul saul too.
He really makes Far Cry 3 so memorable and fun
Michael performance is probably one of the best ever made for a video game. He's just freaking awesome. His character look so real and crazy, he nailed it, completely. There should be more games with good voice actors like him. Why you're not in big movies already?!?
If Ubisoft was smart they'd make far cry 5 with Vaas again
I can't even imagine what the game would've been like without Vaas
Thank you for what you did.
I just love his dialogues, and his actions done in game, the best open world Game I ever played.
Yeah i played far cry 3 just to see vaas!!awesome character and it would be great to see how vaas was transformed into what became to be the total definition of insanity.
wonderfull actor..
You are awesome
Love you nacho
It’s because of him I know the far cry series and it’s the first one I played too despite the fact that I’m atm 21 years old ! So he really serious when he said he is humble about his role because it’s far away from being just a “small character”, he is a goddamn legend.
Nobody's ever gonna forget the amazing job Mike did in portraying the role of Vaas. He gave that character his all.
WOW! scary to see vaas is real!!!
Ok thumbs up if you watched and rewatched the scene were he says (nail me to the f....ng cross and let me be reborn) i had chills...lol
only like 5 times lol.
Awesome voice acting! Really great!
One of the best game characters. Love this guy!
I want to see his audition tape. I also think we need a prequel game for vaas
Oh man I'd love that game! awesome idea
I really hope I get to see Vaas in the new Far Cry 4 even though we killed him in the third..
yeah that whould be realy nice!
Yeah but there's a new guy who's probably just as insane as Vaas, I hope he's just as good though
Pew Macintosh You can't be as good as Vaas. You can try and you can most certainly give it your best, but you just cannot be as good as Vaas, he's just too good.
fearanger1 You are exactly right
Pew Macintosh Thank god, I thought I was coming off as a bit harsh there. XD
They couldn't find someone better to do Vaas! What a legend!
Thank you Michael for making Far Cry 3 even better.
NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope some how in far cry 4 vass comes back
he won't tho:(
well he got lot of succes so that may happen
Nope, for Far Cry 4 they have another one that may be just as insane.
Why would Vaas go to India? He has to stay on his island.
I want vaas back at far cry 4 because he is bad and badass to be A villain!
This guy is gonna be a well known actor all over the world soon
thanks to this guy vaas is gonna go down as one of the best villians ever.
he sure is my favorite.
it wasn't me, it was Ignacio!
this is my favorite character of all time bro thank you so much
One of the most awesome characters in gamming ever.
Yo , this dude must be the most feared man alive hahahah
Nachooo!!
Vaas wasn’t even the main big villain in the game but he definitely got all of the attention as one, great character development on Ubisoft’s part. Still holds up to this day!
What a amazing character..... Vaas is one of the best villians i've seen
Wow it is Nacho from BCS
vaas is still alive. HE IS ALIVE. CIZ HOW DID HE GE THE SWORD TO STAB Jason when citra had it???? he is alive and Citra and vaas drugged jason to pretend kill vaas. and we never saw his body. but we did see hyots body. farcry 3 2016 we will never get over it
Vaas is prob my most favorite video game villain and i hope to see this guy do voice acting again
I dont think no one can play this character better than this guy
Vaas gotta come back in far cry 5 or im dying!!!!!
Yes i did But Jason killed him in a illusion
Sorry dude...but the developers of the game said that vaas is really dead...so...no evidence needed
uuh):
I don't get why Ubisoft would get rid of a great character and an even better voice actor. Vaas made far cry 3 become very popular and liked by many people and this got ubisoft a lot of money. I think it was just a dream since jason was tripping out right before killing vaas when you have to kill the ink monster, and after you kill vaas you immediately wake up and citra congratulates jason because he had "won". What if killing vaas was just jason being high and citra congratulating jason was since jason survived the drug she gave him.
Anyone else think the same way and hope vaas is still alive?
***** You do realize that the whole Vaas fight was a hallucination and it probably didn't actually go about how you saw it...
I love this game !!! My favorite game next to the Last of Us
I came back for the nostalgia, this dude should or I hope got the video game version of a dam Oscar.
excellent construction of that character, good jod michael mando!
I hope they paid him a lot of fuckin' money for his epic fuckin' performance!!
Why does he get an interview and I don't??
Damn you Vaas...
***** nobody likes you, that's why.. sassy boy..
Hussainabaas1 Zaidan I doubt so.
No seriously man,vaas is way cooler than you
But if he is me, and I am him, we're both cool.
Never knew Michael Mando had played this character. He is an amazing actor!
Loved his character. I loved how it was constantly explaining that Vaas was insane through out the game. The definition of Insanity? "To do the same thing over and over and expect shit to change.." It can be applied to Vaas with the questioning of the definition of insanity and for trying to kill Jason so many times throughout the game, in both cases, expecting different results and not getting them. Brilliant, absolutely loved it. Fantastic game with an even better villain.
What are those other scenes of that video with Vaas? It's not in the game.
I believe it was exclusive trailer footage.
Thanks, I found it. It's called Stranded Trailer.
Nope it's a video that Ubisoft made called the FarCry Experience, it's very very very funny, Vaas is acted by the same guy.
MyGamesTuner Movies-Gameplays I've watched the whole FarCry Experience video just before I watched this video, and that wasn't what I was talking about. I was talking about the scenes from the Far Cry 3 - Stranded Trailer.
WeeziMonkey Many pre-launch trailers look different than what the game will eventually come to be.
Dat old model, geez.
Vaas needs to get his own movie. Would be the first time in years that I'd be more than happy to pay the overblown prices at the cinema.
The nostalgia of the xplay intro always gets me
It's crazy vaas wasn't mean to be in the game at first everytime I think of FC3 I don't think of Hoyt I think of vaas lmao
vaas stole Jason's spotlight basically
Everyone: Whos Jason?
such a freaking good villian loved the game
this vaas small character was better than any other character that ubisoft ever created . also i loved how humble michael looked while working on this .
They should make a real movie about far cry 3....and not just the video with 30 minutes
