Prepare yourself to meet Vaas (Michael Mando) in person!
When Ubisoft looked for actors to record the Far cry 3 characters, they searched for performers who could bring more than just a voice - and found them... This is the story of The Voice of Insanity. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
He didnt audition for Vaas. He created him
@@RyanPollock-pc9zu what's your issue you little bitch
Very true
fungaming515 chillout my man youre 10
Little kids really thinks he’s hard lmao!
wait for this little kids parents to check his youtube
He was so good they had to re write the entire game around him
Now that’s incredible
U r hot
Sauce?
@@MrSteror jus ketchup please
@@MrSteror You can probs find it pretty easily as vaas was not even a character until he came in and auditioned
I still think out of every game I've ever played, vaas has been my favorite and best badguy.
For anyone who doesn't know, Michael auditioned for Far Cry 3 but Ubisoft rejected him as it wasn't what they were looking for. But later on were so impressed by his audition that they created the character of Vaas specifically for him to play. Hence why he's in the game for a total of about 20 minutes
Funny cause he became the face of farcry 3 haha.
Not only that, but when he did the audition, he did it with the accent, and then they said "No, don't do the accent, let's try it without it." and so he did another version of the script without the accent, and then he left. Come time for E3 2011, and Ubisoft announced Far Cry 3, and they showed a preview, they used the version with the accent.
but the entire 1st and 3rd act of the game is centered around him?
@@xdxreaper218 Yeah but he doesn’t directly appear for a lot of it
Michel Mando is a great actor. In better call saul you can really relate to his character and have pitty for him, but here in fc3 he is a mad lad...
Have you watched the newest episode of better call saul? Nacho was a badass
@@darks1d3rz16 😬
😘
@@azhari7968 nacho shot himself man.. didnt see that coming
So does that mean far cry is in the same universe as breaking bad and better call saul because micheal mando and giancarlo esposito pretty much play the exact same rolls in the games and shows
He is a convincing lunatic but damn, he deserved this fucking role. It was perfect
He actually didnt get the role he auditioned for. They made the character and wrote it in just to have him in the game.
I know.
All I've heard was he was going for the main villain but that was more rumor and fan speculation so I can't say for sure.
***** The main villain was supposed to be a 280 pound sociopathic, stoic, unemotional character.
+Troy Evick "1" is the camera-man
So this is what Nacho was doing before coming to Albuquerque
Yeah, now he's still badass but at least much more calm
Lol i thought that was nachito
Well, technically, the events of Better Call Saul (his dad gets killed; he suffers a head injury) can drive Nacho nuts and send him to the asylum. That'll explain why he isn't in Breaking Bad.
I've only just realised they are they same people. Smh
@@jameshall2195 same I kept watching him in the show like how tf do I know this guy
no wonder they hired him, he looks exactly like Vaas
Bravo Vince
Most stupid person of 2022 gods to
@@magnusmller9947 goes* dumbass
No shit sherlock
They saw his audition and made his character around him, so it's meant to look like the actor
Almost 9 years passed by, and still the best acting in any game.
Yes he is
imo the greatest antagonist in any game
its not just that he's a great antagonist , vaas is just what the player WILL turn into if they keep on doing what the game wants them to do, the story of FC3 was really alot more interesting then most of the FC games
@@jacktheripper5112 Good point, great sight!
Far Cry 6 is scratching that quality from the bottom, i really enjoying this new chapter, and another great villain they made!
@@anubiszthedj i hevent played the 6th one yet, but like a youtuber said, Ubisoft has settled for mediocrity and will never become what it once was, even the first watchdogs imo was pretty good since it tried something new, FC6 might be fun and engaging but it will never be remembered, unlike FC3 which will be remembered until games exist
When Ubisoft was actually good
Hydra Jamm Yup
+YoungSavage Far Cry 5 is fucken awesome, minus the horseshit micro transactions it is a damn good game.
They´ve always been good, i mean for suited players lol
YoungSavage still are
@Hydra Jamm in that period they did good games, like Assassin's Creed Ezio Auditore trilogy, Assassin's Creed 3, far cry 3, Ghost Recon: Future Solider etc.
I love Vaas, despite being a total manaic, he's someone I could probably watch sports with
and he would acsedently kill u while telling I the definition of insanity
+Lerios nope wrote u and meant it
+Lerios meant u
+Tomas Hernandez Eh, I would rather watch sports with Pagan Min- at least he has a less chance of killing you. Just imagine rooting for the opposite team of Vaas, and his team losing. Yeeeeeah...I'm pretty sure I don't want to be sold into slavery. :x
+drake henderson-dumont lol, so proud of being illiterate..
I miss when game companies gave you great entertainment like this when they didn’t even have to... look at how far we’ve fallen
Remedy did stuff like this for Control. Although not really this well made. They tried at least which is a lot more than other companies do.
Battlefield 2042 doesn't even have a goddamn campaign
Like gta definitive
We still have indie
You just need to know what companies to buy from
Vaas is the only other video game I’ve seen this far to reach Joker status w his insanity. A great portrayal by Michael Mando
Handsome Jack is one but more in the one bad day type thing in killing joke
Glados was awsome also and one ill never forget is No. 9 from Parasite Eve 2
joker moment !!!!!!!
fun fact in Germany, Vaas and Heath Ledger as Joker are voiced by the same person ^^
Fun fact : in France, handsome Jack and Eric cartman are voiced by the same voice actor who is incredible by the way.
I heard there were no Vaas audition. But they liked his performance so much that they reworked the game to add him in as his own character. Which is why there were two villains
*+Saggy Pants |* If Far Cry 3 were a movie, I have no doubt that Michael would've been nominated for an Oscar Award for Best Supporting Actor.
They should have just made Vaas the main villain and scrap Hoyt
@@AlienKilla909 I would love to read a fanfiction where all the way, Vaas is the main bad guy.
Thats absolutely correct, he was auditioning for a different role in the game. But they liked him and his performance so much they based a new character on him and he became Vaas Montenegro
@@AlienKilla909
Nah they should have made you kill Hoyt first and only then Vaas
Damn, he's a good actor for a voice actor
SuperSpasticNinja wasnt he in BB aswell? watched it a few times. i could of sworn nacho varga (michael mando) is tuco's "right hand man" but they go into his story abit more in better call saul well they do with all characters really.
SuperSpasticNinja wait no i think im wrong. pretty sure im getting BB and BCS mixed up my bad. for someone whos watched the series 3 times i should know that 😂 need to watch it again to refresh my memory.
Raphael Sauvagnac so a voice actor stays an actor
voice actors are actors too lol
Shaian what I said boii
Incredible that we never had another game with this awesome guy, he's just perfect to play almost any insanity role
We’re gonna get to play as him in his own personal dlc in far cry 6
@@superkhaos5082 yes but a completely different franchise would be awesome. Imagine him as an uncharted villain
@@fayez_06 Uncharted is shit, it would be wasted on him.
@@thatdognotthepuppy5809 He should play as a spartan with a robotic voice for halo.
Michael Mando is a criminally underrated actor
Imagine Steven Ogg and Michael Mando together... OH GOD
It would be freakin awesome!!
except the fact that one of them would end up dead...or at least either of their characters.....
Imagine in like GTA 6 or something they both turn out to be gay and get married going on crazy rampages.
Funny they were both featured in the series "better call saul"
Was gutted that their characters never met
Vaas is real! God help us!
Just thought the 'God help us!' part in George Carlin's voice! Ha ha!
He's gonna make you his bitch
Haha,God ain't no gonna help y'all if you will get kidnapped or shit by pirates and Vaas:D They gonna sell you for amazing,high prices and you will be lucky if Vaas don't sell you to Bambi...that's suck. Anyway,on the Rook island there is no God only suffering for satisfy others as being killed or sold as a sex slave...meh,better stay at home kids
gimpinmypants I'm scared
Xdd
I would really love to see Vaas in his own movie, that would be PRIMO, also just wanted to say Michael, you did an amazing job and Far Cry 3 was the best because of your talent and work, much love and you ROCK!!!...
He kinda sounds like that other actor that I forgot the name off in fantasy island movie
@@Someone-nt8wz Lost?
I love Vaas' psychotic sense of humour with that deep latent intelligence and ability to control things. He has this aspect which males him always rise to have the upper hand no matter what the situation, much like Hannibal Lecter. Some sense of supernatural power yet, very down to earth.
You have to fucking amazing for the developers to make you your own character for the game. Michael is on a whole other level man.
You see the thing is up there, up there, you think have a chance. But hermano, down here... you hit the ground..
Pussy trigger
Or, the exact quote from the game. "You see, the thing is, up there, you thought you had a chance. Waaay up in the fucking skies, you thought you had your finger on the pussy trigger. But hermano, down here........down here.....................you hit the ground"
I can't imagine someone else playing the role of Vaas.
Seriously, Michael brought Vaas into life.
Imagine if they put this much effort into their games...
They do. Watch Far Cry 4 behind the scenes.
@@lordofsun3107 All their games now are recycled messes with nothing original behind them
@@caralho5237 Far Cry 6 is pretty good and they’ve made some improvements in it imo. The story so far is kinda boring at times, but other times it’s exciting and it keeps you hooked and want to keep playing to find out what happens next. I suggest giving it a try.
@@masquinongy4652 ubisoft has been making the same game with different skins for at least 10 years. dont buy it, dont be stupid
@@caralho5237 That’s your opinion. I’ve always enjoyed the Far Cry series and I’ve played every single one. But that’s too late for that, I already bought and am half way done with Far Cry 6 and I’ve had a blast for the most part. 😊

"How's my insanity"
Easily the best thing Ubisoft ever did
But what is the definition of insanity?

@@SpikeySenjuSSJPapa Hoyt from Oz? Better buy from Adebisi tbh
Vaas deserves a whole damn movie based on him! Hey Hollywood, please listen to me..
He's in Better Call Saul
Hollywood would turn it into trash
If only he was in a really amazingly directed show 🤔
@@thekidisnotmyson thats Michael Mando not Vaas Montenegero
@@harishchad. shit i forgot
Years later and I'm still gushing over his performance
Gushing? 😳💦
Thats why Far Cry 3 was better than 4
+Rezus Goo The fall damage was so much worse in 3. Jason would trip on his shoe strings and die.
the 4th one has a better back story
@@Deviant69 Even if there is a secret ending ?
Dibakar Mani Datta yeah..
@Noot Noot Wants Noose Noose pagan was hardly a villain it was more of the golden path. They wanted to force people to become fighters against pagan and his royal army
I played farcry 3 only because of this character. This character feels real... none of that childish bullshit enemies show in games nowadays.
God queen Tyreen coming at ya!
For this reason Far Cry 6 is gonna be awesome.
Ironically, in Michael Mando's very own words, "It's not the anger, it's the inner child underneath it all, that's the character." I could go into more detail, but I'm just going to recommend watching his interview on Vaas, and how he cam back to play him in Far Cry 6. Here's a link: czcams.com/video/odqJ0LBhfDM/video.html
@@flamaniax5728 of course its inner child, but an inner child mixed with sociopathism and tendency to torture people
Yeah, the last half of the game got pretty boring without his character.
Mando is quickly becoming one of my favorite ppl now with another incredible performance on better call Saul. This guy is awesome
RIP Nacho
Rules of being captured by vaas
1. Dont Scream
2. Dont Beg
3. Dont insult him
4. when he says shut the fuck up you shut the fuck up
5. Dont offer sexual favors
most importantly dont piss him off.
follow these rules you may live
Hylian Warrior *may*
That to
No he'll still throw you off a cliff just for looking at him.
Hylian Warrior you forgot number six
When he ask you a question, answer him honestly. And when he tries
To tell a joke, ride him on with it
Who else lost intrest in afr cry 3 after vass died
Nope bc i killed the fuck out of hoyt for ruining vaas's life and killing riley
Deathwatch mann you mean grant
cory Clemons Me :( And i liberated all the pirate outposts.. No more: Did i ever tell you the definition of insanity? ;'(
Wen I first played the game I thought he was the actually the main villain
Omg same! I was no chasing after revenge or shit and it was sad...i hate Hoyt way more then Vaas but we don't get to talk to Hoyt and we just can't see him as much as Vaas...Vaas truly infect your mind,he makes you "crave" after just even see him and that's one of the reasons why things happen in the game they are happen,and players like his character yes he is a psycho etc but the players still play the game with Vaas alive
Just realized this is the same guy from better call Saul and now I can't unsee it.
Nacho Varga
Nacho varga survived that headshot, he’s a bit locco now though
Anyone else noticed how he screamed "We're so fucked up, Jason" 0:12?
+Jason Brody Yep!,Jason
Jason,thank you for your phone
it's a second world!YOU'RE MY BITCH
Jason Brody
It’s not vaas, its someone else saying this is fucked up jason
It wasn't that hard to miss
how could ubisoft fuck this up, one of the best in game charters ever made.
Seriously just think about a game where you play this guy's story, background whatever. They would have made history.
I have never experienced a villain this good in a game. EVER!
Naaah they did just fine
Reawer And then you have Pagan Min..
#rekt
RageDrakax yup, Pagan Min is a SISSY compared to Vaas, it was so brilliantly played. I liked Vaas more than I liked Jason, Vaas should've be alive not the main character like wtf. Michael Mando ftw.
Slasher Whatever
0:56
Seeing the main villain being tossed with his legs over his ass is just great
He's not the main tho
@@itdobelikedattho8112 He is and you can't convince me otherwise
Genius level of acting
Vaas is prob my favorite bad guy, he's disturbingly funny
I like him so much too ! I made a tribute to him ;-)
Better than Hoyt and Pagan Min combined
I really enjoyed Pagan Min. He wasn't really a villain. More anti-hero. And he was funny. His 4 underling leaders were more the villians.
And Joseph seed and rest of the seed family were pretty trash
@@cravedhunteriii8629 not all of them
cull the herd
@@cravedhunteriii8629 none far cry villain is trash they are all amazing
Joseph Seed is great too
Nacho if he broke bad
This was the best far cry game hands down. Nothing holds up to this game.
far cry 6 is way better

@@metformin3154 Better graphics. Better story. Better characters. Much much larger map with way more objectives and longer game. Your nostalgia is blinding you from realizing this.
If this was a film he would get a Oscar
Reminds me of heath ledger playing the joker.... He's that good!!!
Nacho Vargas before meeting Lalo
9 years already wtf?! I’m getting old
I wish my name was Jason so I could use 1:08 as my answering machine message :D
bad part about it my best friend's name is jason and when i showed him Vaas the first time we went to gamestop the next day and got farcry 3, now that you mention it i think it would be a fun idea to put that as his answering machine...without his knowledge XD, lol i already have Vaas screaming "shut the fuck up" as my ringtone for all my contacts XD, got it from a soundboard
Haha that's brilliant :D My ringtone is Wilhelm scream, it's funny in the morning train :P
What was the soundboard?
"www.soundboard.com/sb/spaceman504" you can get what i have or many of other vaas quotes, i just saved them to my desktop and bluetoothed them to my phone from my laptop lol ;) the link will take ya straight to it
Same here
How about a prequel where you control Vaas? :D WOuld be epic. You take innocent villages, sell the survivor into slavery to make money etc.
Uhm before Vaas went mad he was most likely a part of the Rakyat along with his sister, Citra. I don't think back then when he was sane, that he would sell people into slavery.
Maybe some back story about him fighting Hoyt, but being captured, tortured and brainwashed etc fits in bit better. Then he recruits some former Rakyat, still loyal to him, to be his commanders, while the rest are off island mercenaries there to make a buck.
It would explain the such love/hate relation he has to his sister, for "inking that little white boy", referring to the antagonist(Jason Brody), in the scene where he goes to free his girlfriend, Liza, and friend Oliver.
A lot of people would like to know more about Vaas Montenegro, though now we can only speculate. Would be quite awesome to play him as in a prequel leading to the events of Far Cry 3. Though I do not know how Ubisoft would pull that off story-wise.
madman2u Or they could always make it like Bethesda did with Dishonored. They made a DLC where you can see the story in the antagonist's point of view, up to point where he meets with the protagonist the last time. That would really work with Vaas and Jason too. It would be amazing to play as Vaas.
It would be amaizing.I need it
Or what if they show additional islands other than the two main ones where you begin as Vaas, fighting against Hoyt Volker and ridding his influence on those islands. Then at one point you get to confront Hoyt and get two choices: Join Hoyt, or kill him.
If you choose to join Hoyt, then the story continues in the same way as we know it, with Vaas controlling the pirates and all.
BUT if you choose to kill him, you get an alternate storyline where you get an hour or two of additional gameplay and how you (Vaas) rids the islands of Hoyt's evil shadow.
There's another hypothesis of mine that Vaas and Citra aren't blood related. Its possible Vaas came to the Island just like Jason; an innocent mind. The island corrupts him, and he gets accepted as a Rakyat. He gets the attention of the leader of the tribe (Some other hot chick, maybe Citra's big sister or something) and works his way up. In the end, Vaas gets to F her, but unlike Jason who manages to get killed shortly after, Vaas instead kills the bitch and runs away from the Rakyat, and ends up in Hoyt's care.
The theory makes sense, when you analyze Vaas's dialogues in the game. Even his first decision to let Jason run into the forest can be justified that way. Vaas saw into Jason's eyes and saw his past self, and wanted to see what Jason was capable of. He knew how things would play out, and knew that if Jason manages to survive all of that, he could do what Vaas could never do: Kill off all of the evil in the island. That includes Citra, and then Hoyt.
Thanos Ik this a year old but it sounds pretty amazing. I never Understood why citra killed Jason at the end
They made the right choice making a new character specifically for Michael Mando. I don't think they could've made the story as good as it was with just Hoyt.
This man would go on to play Nacho in the hit TV show Better Call Saul
Man, I can't stop watching this! I really love Vaas! x3
omfg this dude is amazing. he like a different version of the joker XD if you understand what i mean. some people might disagree if they think about it in the wrong way
There is no wrong way to think.
At least Vaas gets his shit done haha. Well just untill he tries to kill Jason
That is what I like. He is another version of the Joker, but definitely NOT the Joker. He is not a Joker copycat.
_Exactly_ what I thought! He plays this manic psychopath in such a convincing and charismatic way... Just a few hours ago I was like "I wish there was like a cross-over where he meets Heath Ledger's Joker" to a friend. Imagine how much fun these two actors would've had together. Imagine how much fun these two _characters_ would've had together.
Vass would kick jokers ass so fucking quick
Best character in farcry history . And one of the bests in gaming history
Honestly one of the most legendary and iconic antagonists I've ever had the honor to witness. Micheal Mando is a genuinely talented actor. I hope they give him more roles like this where he can just go off the rails and have fun.
I'm glad that Pagan Min has some of the same traits as Vaas. Despite the fact that Pagan isn't insane, Mexican or prone to random outbursts, it was fun to hear his dialog, and how he always seemed so happy and unintimidated. He still has the sense of authority to his dialog, just like Vaas.
Slayerman210 He may be not like Vaas because of the affair with fc4 protagonist's mother
She changed him as far as i know
@Christian Moreno But it got out of control...
I'm pretty sure that Vaas isn't Mexican though
@@TestSubjectMacStar I mean his voice actor is Mexican Canadian
@@madisongreen7975 I HATE when Things get out of Control! *starts stabbing*
I’m so glad he’s getting more fantastic rolls cuz my god what a good actor. Not only is he the best character in this entire franchise but he’s also fantastic as Nacho in BCS
this was b4 bcs…
Only Michael Mando can appear in the first 3 episodes of the season and still be pitched as a potential Emmy nominee
maybe i should play far cry 3
Michael Mando you betta be in Far Cry 4!
so do i, buuut those ubisoft guys wont let me FUCKING IN ANYMORE, and i dont know why.
Adrian Petrov What... WHAT SAY IT AGAIN! im not dead MAN IM NOT DEAM, Everyone Think i am and that o Mighty Jason killed me but, wrong hermano, VAAS NEVER DIES, HE WAS SO HIGH AND I SLASHED HIS BODY UP TOOK HIS HEAD AND PUT IT ON THE POL, I AM NOT DEAD AND ITS NOT THAT I AM FUCKING CRAZY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? DO YOU!!!!
Vaas Montenegro Did i ever tell you, the definition of Insanity?
Vaas Montenegro uhh Herman o what's going on here
Holy fuck, I just watched better call saul, never knew Nacho was also Vaas, that's insane, he's such a great actor.
Now he can come to your house and tell you the definition of insanity
You have to be an amazing actor to the point where people find your audition so AMAZING that they create a character based on it.
I think Michael Mando would have made an excellent tuco in breaking bad, not that I didn't like Raymond Cruz
I don't think Vaas kills his own people though...
He's actually starring in the Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul airing next year.
Vazique Holy shit, for real? I had zero reason to watch that spinoff until you mentioned that. I hope Saul got caught vacationing there; considering he survived, he must have a hell of a story.
Fuck you
new season is coming out soon!! i really like nacho ahah
God bless Michael Mando. You made a masterpeice
You are a F**** great actor (better Call Saul s06e3) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
he knows the fucking definition of insanity
Imagine if Vaas was in Better Call Saul
i would actually watch it if he was in that show.
I've always loved Michael's acting. He's so good at getting that villain feel across.
i played the game only for Vaas
Love seeing this in my recommended after 11 years. After the secret ending in FC 6 I can’t wait to see Vaas return in Far Cry 7.
Haven't even watched the video yet I already hit Like and I know it's gonna be amazing. Best video game villain ever.
He needs his own movie vaas could be the next joker in the sence of villony
I love this guy. He's in my favourite TV show, "Better Call Saul" he's amazing in it. I didn't even realise it was the same guy. That's what makes a great actor, when someone can play completely different roles so well!!
man still killing it years later bro thanks for the best chilhood
Love when his voice starts getting serious, "You think you have a chance... but down here... down here... you hit the ground. " Perfect tone and vibe switch.
This is the best villain. I still remember him from time to time, and some of his quotes often come to mind lol
The battle of the century:
Trevor Philips vs. Vaas Montenegro
Nacho down bad ever since he betrayed the Salamancas
2020 and still my favorite video
a legend was born
Some of the best video game acting ever
Seeing this 9 years late. WTF. Well, it sure was good. Loved the performance.
7 years on and it’s still the best thing ever
The most iconic vilian ever in vidio game histry, every dialogue is iconic in the game I am a huge fan of far cry 3 specially vaas
Amazing. Still remember what he says to this day
Absolute LEGEND !
Sir u r so good. Everything I watched for u is amazing. U r a great actor ❤.
Damn Nacho went crazy because of Fring
Lmao
get to see him again on far cry 5 season pass for.far cry 3 on the ps4...cant wait to play
I love it. Mondo Mando. Good on you brother. Thanks.
I have to come back to these old videos to remind me what a good game with good characters is like
Yk ur a good actor when you could make people terrified of you in one project and sympathize with him in another show
I love him as vaas he’s my favourite villain in the whole series of Farcry
wow, i was impressed that i still remembered the lines after so many years...
After he ran away, he took a boat back to Rook Island, where he formed his militia of pirates and took over half the island, sharing the other half with Hoyt
Far Cry 3 was my first "shooter" game. Vaas kept my insanity in check, being human is wonderous
Michael Mando needs his own Vaas Tv series
1:51 - thats how Nacho Varga was appeared
HOLY SHIT IM SEEING THIS NOW. Dude... SO great. I would pay GOOD money to see this as a movie or hell, even a TV show.
