Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani Talks About Playing ‘Reggie’ in Telltale Games’ ‘The Walking Dead: The Game!’ Will Reggie and Clementine Survive ‘Episode 203: In Harm’s Way?’ [Twitter Photo]
In the HBO series, Silicon Valley, actor Kumail Nanjiani plays the role of the nerdy programmer Dinesh Chugtai. Nanjiani teases audiences about his upcoming role as Reggie in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: The Game.
Nanjiani voices the role of Reggie, the one-armed man, in the upcoming episode, In Harm's Way. Just like many characters in The Walking Dead comics, you don't know whose side Reggie is on. Will he rescue Clementine from the zombies? Or will he end up betraying her?
In an interview with IGN, Nanjiani describes his role as the one-armed Reggie, "I get a sense he's pretty optimistic. His life before the apocalypse wasn't that great. He's found a little niche for himself. He's got a group of people. He's picked a new name."
Though Carver in the game is a deadly threat to Clementine's survival, Nanjiani explains why Reggie would serve in his camp, "He [Carver]'s sort of a bad guy. He's a very scary guy. It's not a great place to be but then he [Reggie]'s the guy...Reggie doesn't want to make waves. He knows his place. ‘You know what?' I'm just going to do what I need to do. I'm just going to put my head down and get through one day at a time. I think he's having a good time. Is he getting laid? I don't know."
