He'll probably be one of the generic vehicle drivers that nobody can remember the name of, like Lift Ticket or Tollbooth.
Tollbooth! That's gotta be the worst codename in the entire GI Joe team. That and his only role was to drive the bridge-laying truck. I guess we never saw him much in the cartoons and comics because he blew his brains out because we was so lame.

good news.
I wouldn't have minded the Rock so much to be honest, just not as Shipwreck.

Actually, no...the article just states that Fraser won't be playing Gung Ho or any other Joe mentioned thus far.
He said in an interview that he already shot his cameo. So, he's playing someone that we don't know about.
He's still in the movie.

So you mean to tell me that Brandon Frasier is going to have either some small suporting role or brief cameo? Cool!

So was he supposed to be Gung Ho in that Cameo? I was disappointed they didn't have the tat on the chest showing . I think more people would've recognized who he was supposed to be if they had showed it.

Wait....I thought I heard someone yell Srgt. Slaughter's name when Frasier appeared.

He was Sgt. Stone. The movie was influenced by Sigma 6.

Anyone else think that he should have played Flint after seeing Fraser's cameo as Sgt. Stone? He looked just like Flint.

Did you notice during the end credits they world show a name and were showing different parts of the GiJoe symbol, at one part they showed the sigma 6 symbol.

Yep! And I enjoyed Fraser's cameo, I found him funny when he kept on saying "Again?" it was cool.

Ya think?
Why, because he wore a beret?

Actually at first I thought he was supposed to be Flint as well. The cameo was alright but it would've been cooler to see him as a more defined Joe like Shipwreck or Gung Ho.
I thought Fraser would've been great for Shipwreck, personally.

Chalk me up to another person who thought Fraser was Flint. Oh well hopefully the sequel will have Flint & Lady Jaye :)

LOL! I can only imagine poor 'ol Tollbooth twiddling his thumbs at Joe HQ just waiting for anyone wanting a bridge asap.

But Fraser isn't as handsome as Flint.

Well the toy packaging of Sgt. Stone doesn't look like Fraser either.

Yet weirdly enough the upcoming "Benchpress" figure looks exactly like Fraser.

Hmmm. My friend was watching the credits to see who Fraser played and said that it said "Slaughter." Maybe his eyes are going bad.

Wrong Wrong Wrong. Try Skidmark http://www.myuselessknowledge.com/joe/skidmark.gif or Wet-down as a codename. LOL

what happened to Fraser doing good movies like Gods and \monsters and the Quiet American?
Was he really in the movie, though? I didn't recognize him if so.

Yes he was. He was there when Snake Eyes and Duke were doing their practise combat with alot of the other members of G.I. Joe surrounded them, watching.

I'm hoping that Fraser returns as a main character in the next movie, preferably as the official bearer of the name "Flint." His real last name could be Stone, but Flint is his codename. Given how flat Channing Tatum is as Duke I think a bigger presence by Fraser would help offset it.
