Michael Fassbender

Irish actor Michael Fassbender plays a robot (but the humanoid kind with emotions) called David in the forthcoming sci-fi film of the summer Prometheus.

Watch him revel in the opportunity to play a man-machine. Squeel over those breathy pauses.

This is what a word class actor having fun looks like.

We reckon there's more than a little disturbing foreshadowing going on in this viral clip. How much do you want to bet he's going to malfunction?
