Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) and Sean Faris (Vampire Diaries) will star in the upcoming EA racing game Need for Speed The Run.
Hendricks plays Joan Harris in the hit AMC drama Mad Men, and now she makes her videogame debut in Need for Speed The Run as Sam Harper, a driver manager. Sean Faris (The Vampire Diaries, Never Back Down), will play driver Jack Rourke in Need for Speed The Run.
I’ve definitely done my share of intense action scenes in movies but it’s totally different and thrilling to actually be a character and driver in Need for Speed The Run. I got a kick out of seeing myself in the game, it’s totally me! I’m a huge fan of the Need for Speed series so I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the game,” said Sean Faris.
Need for Speed The Run will be available November 15, 2011

Oh right, er...videogames!
People wanted a straight up arcade racing game and they've made it into some cinematic QTE cut-scene story game.
Funny thing actually is that a female friend of mine turned me on to her about a month ago. Said I might appreciate the veiw.

"Happy to see our Mrs Reynolds finally getting some HONEST work!"
There, fixed it for you. I guess stealing antique laser pistols and scamming a crew of loveable scammers only gets you so far in the 'verse.
I hate it when actors say that.
zombie Blackbox being zombie Blackbox. Story over gameplay. Good luck getting a metacritic rating that surpasses ProStreet.

Sorry mate, but...
I'm really not seeing the "so ugly" part anywhere.
Also:
There isn't a single part of that photo that isn't hot.
Maybe I'm biased because pale ginger girls are my jam, but I couldn't let that "so ugly" bit slide.
...Damn.
They actually did. I need to go wake up my wife.
Vampire Diaries ? I'm out !
Oh look, masturbation jokes. DERP
Ahem... what was the article about again?
