Wayne F. Newton (born April 3, 1942) is a musician and actor who voiced Mr. New Vegas, the host of Radio New Vegas, in Fallout: New Vegas.
Newton is an entertainer closely associated with the city of Las Vegas; he is also known by the nickname Mr. Las Vegas.
Career[]
Newton's best known songs include 1972's "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" (his biggest hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard chart), "Years" (1980), his vocal version of "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" (1965), and his signature song, "Danke Schoen" (1963). He performed over 30,000 solo shows in Las Vegas over a period of over 40 years. In his early career, he was known for a distinctive high-pitched voice, but it lowered by the 1970s.
Work on the Fallout series[]
Newton described working on Fallout: New Vegas as "the one thing he had looked forward to" in his career due to how unusual and unique it was compared to the rest of his body of work.[1] Fallout: New Vegas is thus far Newton's only appearance in a video game.
