Portlandia’s Fred Armisen lends his trademark savagery to the orcs in ‘Shadow of War’

Fred Armisen taps into his inner savagery with Seth Meyers to lend his voice to some of the orcs in 'Middle-Earth: Shadow of War'.

'Middle-Earth: Shadow of War' is already one of the best selling games of the year. Commanding your very own army of orcs, you're able to command your forces to dominate Mordor from within. With such a vast array of different orc warriors at your disposal, it made sense to have a few comedians lend their voice talents to some of the orcs and, what the hell, have a little fun with it.

It was revealed on an episode of Clueless Gamer that Kumail Nanjiani does have an orc voice contribution. In a recent skit featured on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', Seth is joined by SNL alumni and co-creator of 'Portlandia', Fred Armisen, to add his own spin of what your modern "orc about town" might sound like. Check it out here:

Unfortunately, this is just a skit and it doesn't appear that Armisen is actually in the game, so don't get your hopes up to see Zunn the Moaner or Krakkon the Baker Orc anytime soon.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!
