Matt Berry Voices The Mr. Handy Robot In Fallout

A Popular Character From The Games

Matt Berry first appears in the Fallout TV show in a voice role, with him lending his recognizable voice and cadence to the Mr. Handy robot. Although Matt Berry is explained to be the voice behind all of the Mr. Handy robots in the Fallout universe, he is mainly credited with playing Snip-Snip, a Mr. Handy robot that works as an organ harvester in the Super Duper Mart. Cooper Howard attempts to trade Lucy to the men inside the Mart in exchange for more vials, causing Lucy to have a brief encounter with Snip-Snip before breaking him.

Mr. Handy robots are seen all throughout the Fallout franchise, with them being android assistants developed by General Atomic International before the bombs were dropped. Although they are rare, some Mr. Handy units can be found still in operation, such as Snip-Snip. Mr. Handy units can be seen in the Fallout TV show's flashback scenes, showing that they had a prominent place in society before the bombs were dropped, with units like Snip-Snip now being used for much more nefarious purposes.

Matt Berry Also Plays A Human Character In The Fallout Show

Explaining Mr. Handy's Backstory

Snip-Snip and the other Mr. Handy units aren't the only characters that Matt Berry plays in the Fallout TV show, as he also plays a human character. One of the flashback scenes sees Cooper Howard go to a party, with him briefly having a conversation with an acting friend named Sebastian Leslie. During their conversation, Sebastian explains that he has sold the rights to his voice and persona, with them being used as the standardized voice and persona for the Mr. Handy robots, something that continued well after the apocalypse.

This explanation for Mr. Handy's backstory in the Fallout TV show is unique to the Amazon series, with Matt Berry playing a major role in patching up this mystery. Giving Matt Berry this role not only helps to explain the origins of the robotic units, but it also allows Matt Berry to have an even bigger role in the Fallout TV show, something that is always a positive.

Why Matt Berry's Fallout Cameo Is Better Than His Role In The Book Of Boba Fett

It Shows Off Both Sides Of The Actor

Fallout isn't the only massive franchise that Matt Berry has been part of, as he also had a role in Star Wars. Matt Berry voiced the droid 8D8 in The Book of Boba Fett, with him appearing in several episodes throughout the season. 8D8 started out as one of the droids living in Jabba the Hutt's palace, with him working alongside Boba Fett after the death of Jabba.

Although Matt Berry's role in The Book of Boba Fett is fun, it isn't nearly as good as his role as Mr. Handy and Sebastian Leslie in Amazon Prime Video's Fallout TV show. Allowing Matt Berry to appear in live action as well as being the voice of a character means that the Fallout TV show is able to show off both sides of the actor's comedic talents, something that The Book of Boba Fett couldn't do. It isn't known if Matt Berry will return for future seasons of Fallout, but his cameo role was definitely a highlight of the first season.
