Fan Casting Colonel Victor Hoffman in Len Wiseman's Gears of War

The hardened, pragmatic commander of the COG military forces. A veteran of the Pendulum Wars, Hoffman is a profane, no-nonsense officer who leads from the front, twirling his Gnasher shotgun and telling his men the grim truth: they are all getting fucked today. Beneath his blunt exterior lies a profound sense of duty and a hidden respect for soldiers with the guts to break the rules. He is the grizzled, flawed father figure the young Gears rally behind, a man who has spent a lifetime fighting wars and now faces the apocalypse with a weary, unshakeable resolve.
