Despite or maybe because he is very visibly trying not to burst out laughing.

That command and conquer cast had no right to be that star-studded. Tim Curry was the only one who really got it, though -- the franchise had fully run off the rails by then in terms of the feasibility of its alternate history, and committing fully to the ridiculousness was the correct choice.

    It's one of those things that rather than trying to take itself too seriously, they embraced a certain amount of cheesy over-the-top performance that made it more entertaining and likely more fun for the actors as well.

    Honestly I wish more games would go back to that culture/era rather than trying to be the next epic. The cutscenes from C&C were damned art, games like Warcraft 2/3 had some great Easter eggs from continually clicking units (including "me not that type of Orc" , or the necromancer's rather edgy "I love the dead.... frequently"), and even Diablo had the Cow Level etc
