Original Black Ops Woods actor roasts character\u2019s viral \u201conion\u201d BOCW line James C. Burns\/ActivisionAfter a now-infamous line in Black Ops Cold War went viral, the original voice of the Frank Woods, James C. Burns, had to react to the character, who\u2019s known for his badassery, calling himself\u2026an onion. When Black Ops Cold War was first released back in mid-November 2020, many fans took note of a line that Frank Woods says in the middle of the single-player campaign. After Mason mocks him for being \u201can expert in quiet,\u201d Woods replies quickly by saying he\u2019s \u201ca goddamn onion, Mason,\u201d which thoroughly confused the community since it doesn\u2019t really fit with the character\u2019s iconic badass personality. While the prevailing theory from the community is that character is just trying to say that he has layers, it doesn\u2019t seem to have landed with players the way the writers were probably hoping it would. Since then, the original actor has shared some strong words when reacting to the scene. Gonna have to think about that one\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/S3xVh6w2uz \u2014 james c burns (@jamescburns) November 18, 2020 During a Sarge\u2019s Corner livestream, James C. Burns, who played the character in the original Black Ops, BO2, and BO4, flat out said that \u201cWoods would not say that, my Woods would not say that,\u201d signaling that he\u2019s clearly not a fan of the line, to say the least: \u201cWho the f**k says that?\u201d Later on in the video, which was compiled together by YouTuber Dan Allen Gaming, Burns had some fun with the absurdity and hilariousness of the phrase, riffing for a minute and replacing some words in famous Woods lines from previous games with the word \u201conion\u201d. One of the more hilarious revisions was \u201cSee that onion? We\u2019re gonna peel it\u201d, which is an obvious play on the classic dialogue, \u201cSee that Hind? We\u2019re gonna take it\u201d from the first game in the series. Burns famously did not play the character in Black Ops Cold War and it\u2019s unknown how he would have reacted if he were asked to say the dreaded onion line by the developers, but if his responses are any indication, it probably wouldn\u2019t have gone over well with him in the booth. It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Treyarch or another CoD developer embraces the line at some point in the form of an in-game calling card or emblem since the whole situation has now turned into a bit of a meme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
