UK writer/presenter/actor, Danny Wallace, in a recent interview with ShortList.com, talked about his upcoming role in Assassin's Creed 2.

Those in the UK may know Wallace from a whole array of programs including "How to Start Your Own Country" and his recent book, "Yes Man." Funny guy, geek chic, and an ex games journalist after a stint with SEGA Power in the 90's.

Wallace's character, Shaun, is a historian, and Wallace comments, "I thought he was just a bog standard nerd, but turns out no, he has got a darker side, which is cool. He chooses mainly to sit at a computer and study the history of Renaissance Italy and impart information, sometimes slightly sarcastically, to our hero."

Wallace joins the ranks alongside Kristen Bell who reprises her role as Lucy Stillman. Should be an interesting combination; Wallace with his sarcasm, and Bell with her good looks and innocent demeanour.
