With Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced weeks away from release, Edward Kenway actor Matt Ryan has been reminiscing about the time he thought he was auditioning for a pirate TV show rather than Ubisoft's soon-to-be hit.
Speaking to PC Gamer, Ryan recalls, "It was pitched to me via my agent as a pirate TV show." He continued, "Amy Hubbard, a great casting director in the UK, got me into the room, and then they liked me. They asked me for a callback, and then they leveled with me. They were like, listen: this is a videogame. They said it was an Assassin's Creed, and I'd played the first one, so I was like 'great, that's a cool game.'"
