Kumail Nanjiani will portray “The Agonizer” in Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

Fans of Silicon Valley will be happy to hear that actor Kumail Nanjiani has been cast as a voice actor for Monolith’s Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. Well, as one specific and rather quirky orc, whose confidence seems to be in question.

When the game launches this fall, Nanjiani’s voice will be heard coming through the digitized mouth of “The Agonizer;” a hideous, bow carrying orc who seems to have hit more branches of the ugly tree than most of his peers. His long neck, disturbing face and questionably coloured skin only compare to his awful insults, which are laughed about within his introductory video.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, which is set in-between the events of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, will be released this October.
