I did get to spend some time filming in the Dominican Republic, because our stages were down there, but it wasn't until a while later that I finally met a lot of the cast who were actually there, little me. In some respects, you do have to trust the production and the directors and the showrunner to make sure that synergy comes together well, which they did. Did you get to look at those other scenes that were being filmed, or did you get any sort of context outside of the script that helped you in your portrayal?Īlycia Debnam-Carey: It's such a weird experience when you are not involved in an entirely separate and major part of the story.
Then, because we shot it all together - we'd shoot one timeline one week and another timeline the next week - going back and forth, and being specific and clear about where I was in the story, was the main challenge there.Īnd Alycia, your character is defined by things that you as an actor really didn't get to participate in. Josh Bonzie: The challenge there was truly developing two different people, one who's idealistic and hopeful and a little awkward, and then someone who's gone through intense, profound trauma, and figuring out what was different about them and also what married them together. Was a challenge for you to play that and to make sure that everything is connected?
Josh, I feel like you're almost playing two characters in this, because you are playing somebody who goes through this massive change. But for this, it felt a little bit more intimate, and insular, and I really appreciated that as a new experience for me. In genre, you have so much of the world that informs what your character is, and what's going on in the story that you're telling. This is really, at its essence, the psychological down-spiral of someone, and an investigation into childhood trauma and how that manifests so many years later.įor me, I kind of approached this a little bit more as a specific character piece. We get a real psychological experience of a character. This was really fun, to move into a different genre, and sort of investigate a character that felt very, very layered. I love that I was able to be a part of that genre It's formed so much of my experience as an actor and as a person, and I loved it. Is there something different in the way that you have to approach a project like this?Īlycia Debnam-Carey: Oh, absolutely. Screen Rant: Alycia, you are beloved for The 100 and Fear the Walking Dead, which are both in the sci-fi, genre world.
