Fallout star says her character Lucy is the most brilliantly unhinged combo: "Leslie Knope meets Ned Flanders" and someone who can "also kill you"

If you’ve already started the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout TV show, you’ll know Ella Purnell’s Vault Dweller Lucy is a little more complex than her okie-dokꦏie demeanor would have you believe.

In fact, it’s that harder edge – which develops throughout the Prime Video se♐ries – that drew Purnell to the role.

"For me, it was when they told me Lucy was someone who could star in a toothpaste commercial and could also kill you, and she was a mixture of Leslie Knope and Ned Flanders. And I was like, ‘Got it. Absolutely sign me up. I’m in," Purnell, who also voices Jinx in Arc🐬ane, tells GamesRadar+ of how Fallout was pitched to her.

On Lucy’🃏s time up in the wasteland, in search of her Overseer father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), Parnell adds: "With Lucy, I think it ignites something. I think it lights this flame in her where she just becomes resilient. It’s all inside her somewhere, she just has to access it. Does it go too far? Does she learn 🅘to adapt to find the answer? I don’t know. You’ll have to watch the show to find out!"
