Fan Casting Private Damon Baird in Len Wiseman's Gears of War

Delta Squad's sarcastic, cynical, and hyper-intelligent technician. Baird is the squad's brain, a man who would rather be anywhere else but is indispensable in a firefight because he is simply smarter than everyone else. With a dry, world-weary wit and a permanent air of annoyance at the perceived incompetence around him, he provides essential, caustic humor in the face of horror. His lean, wiry build creates a perfect visual contrast to the hulking Marcus and Cole, instantly marking him as the man who wins fights with his mind rather than his fists.
