Theyll love me and hate you!
There was a level of surprise, but also a level of anger and defiance, you know?
It was sort of like, This is how it ends?
This is where it ends?
Im not ready to go.
The director and I talked about how this is a look of, This fight is not over.
You may be killing me right now, but Im going to haunt you.
How would you describe Sams relationship with Madani in the end?
And that last line from Billy just makes it so much worse.
is a perfect kiss-off.I think thats when Bens character truly becomes the villain, you know?
It was always supposed to be very disturbing and intimate.
It reminded me of Sean Connery inThe Untouchables, and I definitely took some inspiration from that.
As an actor, what was it like to think about the violence of the series?
I think it speaks to the pathos and the importance of what this show means and represents.
As violent as this show is, its not violence for violences sake.
I was like, Ohmaaan, this is so many worlds colliding in so many weird, cool ways!
It was worth dying to have a death dinner held by Jon Bernthal.
