 InFamous - The Would-Be Movie (16 person items)"John White
I realize Samuel and Sean in a movie together might be too much awesomeness for some people. John was pretty cool in the first game and I thought he was very crafty in the second. Samuel is just awesome in whatever role so he can pull off anything."
