Trivia / Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

• Actor Allusion: The host of "German... Or Else" is played by James Horan, the voice actor of Skull Face from Metal Gear Solid V whose goal revolved around eradicating the worlds lingua franca, English, and fittingly is the one to reference the imminent retirement of the English language at the end of the segment.
  • Having obtained the body of a super soldier, in this case having his head attached to one. B.J., still played by Brian Bloom, has now become even more like Captain America.
  • In the first level, one of the sub-levels is titled "Under Siege," which also happens to be the name of the 1992 Steven Seagal action flick Under Siege which Rip's voice actor Glenn Morshower had an acting part in early in his career. In both the game and the film, Morshower plays a Jerkass.
• Ink-Suit Actor: The four new major characters of Grace, Horton, Sigrun and Zofia are modeled directly after their voice actors (Debra Wilson, Christopher Heyerdahl, Alyssa Preston and Michelle Forbes, respectively).
• Playing Against Type:
  • Michelle Forbes (Known for portraying villains and, sometimes, anti-heroes) as Zofia Blazkowicz
  • Glenn Morshower, who's usually cast as no-nonsense government agents or military officers, as BJ's bigoted, civilian, abusive father Rip.
• Star-Making Role: For Debra Wilson. While having a respectable career in live action and voice acting prior the game's release, The New Colossus preceded her being cast in a number of similarly high-profile Ink-Suit Actor roles such as in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019).
