In a previous scene, Cooper has already agreed to an exchange with Representative Diane Welch, a congresswoman for the district of Glendale. While he somewhat trusts she is on the right side, he still doesn’t want to hand over the cold fusion directly to her.
So instead he agrees to give it to the President of the United States, who in the story is the last person to hold the position before the bombs fell. He is played by none other than Clancy Brown.
Brown lent his voice to the very first Fallout game back in 1997. In the game, he played the role of Rhombus, who was the head paladin and head knight of the Lost Hills chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel.
The actor has a stellar career and is also recognised for his roles in movies such as The Shawshank Redemption as well as Starship Troopers. There is also his voice work aside from Fallout.
He played Dr Neo Cortex in the Crash Bandicoot games and has also been the voice of Mr Krab in SpongeBob SquarePants since 1999.
Fallout is streaming on Prime Video.
