At age 81, Leslie Uggams has found an unexpected second career as a genre star. The Broadway actress became a runaway fan-favorite of the Deadpool movies as Blind Al, Wade Wilson’s foul-mouthed roommate with an affinity for cocaine and IKEA furniture. But she also recently dipped her toes in the video game world with Prime Video’s Fallout, an adaptation of the beloved post-apocalyptic video game franchise.
“I didn't realize how popular that game is,” Uggams tells Inverse in a crowded press room at the 2024 New York Comic-Con.
