Showtime’s new Halo series has found its Master Chief.

Best known for his roles as Pornstache in Orange is the New Black and Mad Sweeney in American Gods, actor Pablo Schreiber is ready to suit up for an interstellar war as Halo’s Master Chief, according to Variety.

The network ordered a 10-episode series based on the popular video game franchise back in June. Then, following a worldwide casting search, Schreiber was cast as the most-advanced warrior in the franchise.

Schreiber’s Master Chief will face off against Yerin Ha, who will tackle the new Halo character Quan Ah. Ah is described as a shrewd, audacious teenager from the Outer Colonies. The show will illustrate the two meeting at a fateful time during the intergalactic war.

Get your Halo Array gear ready: The series is set to begin production this fall in Budapest, Hungary.
