LOS ANGELES (AP) — Angela Bassett is taking on the mantle of "Six," the codename for the leader of the elite counter-terrorism group depicted in the video game series "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six." Bassett was unveiled Monday during a Ubisoft press conference at E3 as the latest Six in the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege installment of the publisher's long-running shooter series. The character has always been portrayed as male in past "Rainbow Six" games, as well as Clancy's original novel. In the game, players will portray one of several international operators under the command of Bassett's character, akin to M'' in the James Bond franchise. On film, Bassett has played the head of the secret service in "Olympus Has Fallen," a CIA chief in "This Means War" and an ambassador in "Survivor." Bassett: I don't have much experience with video games, especially not at this high level. Were you aware of the many criticisms how women and African-Americans are portrayed in games? How did you interpret the role of the deputy director of Team Rainbow?
