Wallace’s talents extend to video games, where he contributed to the writing of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. He also continues to write a popular column for ShortList magazine and has been recognized as the BBC’s Artist in Residence. Whether on screen, on air, or in print, Danny Wallace remains a creative force with a talent for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
