Mass Effect's Commander Shepard was loosely in꧂spired by George Clooney, a developer on 🔴the first game has revealed.
Spea💮king to , Derek Watts, who worked as an art director on the Mass Effect series, has shed some light on how the look of the iconic c🦩haracter came together.
"We had [the design] up to a certain point, but it wasn't quite there. So we opened 𝔉it up to the team," Watts recallsꦏ. "There are a lot of people that took it seriously, and a lot of people didn't," Watts continues before going on to recount how one member of the team thought that Shepard should have the head of a "rugby team player" with their face "all bashed up with tape on their ear."
One person who did understand the assignment at BioWare, though, was level artist Mike Jeffries who suggested that the commander should have George Clooney's head. "It was a good picture, he darkened the armor and then he put tꦡhis little logo on the chest."
The art director conꦛtinues: "That for us, as we showed people, we were like, 'OK, this is going in the right direction.' Not because of George Clooney, but a bit of that look – the short hair, square jaw." So next time you're playing Mass Effect, take a good look🥃 at Commander Shepard and see if you can see traces of the Ocean's Eleven actor in him.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was 💙lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of trainingꦗ. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
