portable-HD-Camcorder: Cross over performance of Cole Phelps in L.A. Noire

Cross over performance of Cole Phelps in L.A. Noire
Does anyone watch Mad Men and recognized as Ken Phelps Cosgrove (Aaron Station) the first time I walked for information on LA Noire? If so, what do we think of the cross on the yield and Cole Phelps and be the face (literally, thanks to Team Bondi) of the most anticipated game?

Cole Phelps is a good character, I could of made a better story of it. Served in the army and now it’s in the police, I thought I could actually do better than that.

Well 1947 was chosen because it was an extraordinary year in terms of crime, especially murder, so he made a good backdrop for the story I wanted to tell. That is less than two years after the war was that the protagonist could have fought and done things that she was not proud of - including the possibility of killing innocent people - and still be considered a hero and decorated by him. This can give the character a motivation that is not only completely autonomous, but also much more appropriate to the style of black cinema that goes for the game. Could have done better? Maybe, but we have not played the game, but we can not possibly say.

I have not seen much of Mad Men, when it was shown for the first time, for some reason I've heard other people make the connection Phelps before I knew myself. Co-incidentally the number 4 is shown here at about the same time began arriving information on LA Noire, so I made sure I saw it. There are several cast and crew of Mad Men involved with the game, As if the characters Cole and Ken Cosgrove Phelps are similar, it is difficult to say yet, but I would say no. Both are "good", but the history of Phelps is not like someone who works in advertising in the 60's.

We do not know what Phelps did in the Second World War. But he was there, so in my humble opinion; there were a lot of immigrants and ethnic minorities in Los Angeles, so it was not too difficult for him to join the police for being white and a veteran. A firearm, which is probably all they asked of him? Seems to be the case for most Film Noir.
