Full Cast of Fallout Episode 1 - Every Main Character & Actor Who Appears (Photos)

Episode 1 of Fallout on Amazon Prime Video introduced viewers to a cast of characters inhabiting this morose nuclear drama. 

Adapting the world of Betheda's beloved Fallout video game franchise, the streaming series opens with an introduction to a dark and oddly hilarious irradiated universe. 

Episode 1 (titled "The End") covered a lot of ground including the events that preceded the nuclear apocalypse, a raid on one of the series' iconic vaults, and the opening up of the Los Angeles Wasteland as a vault dweller is thrust into this lawless land. 

Every Main Character and Actor in Fallout Episode 1

Ella Purnell - Lucy

Leading Fallout is Ella Purnell as the former vault dweller Lucy. Standing in for the player character from the games, Lucy is forced from the safe confines of Vault 33 in Episode 1 following a Raider attack on her home and the kidnapping of her father.

Being her first time venturing out into the Wasteland, Lucy is going to have to adapt, as - after spending her entire life underground - she is now in no man's land with her only goal being to find her dad. 

Purnell is best known for her work in Kick-Ass 2, Never Let Me Go, and Wildlike.

Aaron Motren's Maximus serves as one of the other primary protagonists of the Fallout streaming series. The show picks up with Maximus as an aspiring member of the ironclad military force known as the Brotherhood of Steel. 

After his close friend, Dane, is promoted from Aspirant recruit to Squire within the Brotherhood's ranks, Maximus is forced to take their place as Dane is brutally injured by way of a bloody blade-in-boot prank.

Kyle MacLachlan - Overseer Hank

Overseer Hank (played by Kyle MacLachlan) is the latest leader of the Vault 33 community, as his underground denizens continue to live underground hundreds of years after a nuclear attack wiped out the United States. 

Hank is the father of two children in the vault, Ella Purnell's Lucy and Moises Arias' Norm. He is also kidnapped in Episode 1 by Raiders after arranging what he thought was a run-of-the-mill post-apocalyptic marriage ceremony for his daughter. 

MacLachlan is an icon of the big and small screen, leading titles such as Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, and 1984's Dune movie.

Walton Goggins - The Ghoul

While he is expected to be a big part of the Fallout series going forward, Episode 1 features very little of Walton Goggin's The Ghoul. 

This irradiated bounty hunter is dug up by some fellow cowpokes looking to recruit Goggins' gunslinger for a job. However, he turns the tables on this trio taking them out and using this as an excuse to take the bounty on for himself. 

Goggins will be familiar to fans of Justified, Predators, and The Hateful Eight.
