Your viscera and your alpha-ness is really well-communicated with your physical self. You’re especially gifted in using your body. I’ve always loved how physical you are as a performer. I’ve loved watching you play this Marvel man. He was claimed by these other forces and was hosting all of these other influences and agendas. Axe has a comic-strip invincibility about him, which is great fun to play.īrody, for me, was always a pawn. Just play what you have and play it with relish. Badness exists just for the fun of it sometimes.

The challenge was to do the impossible - to create some sense of resolution and stay true to our tone, and also give people a sense that the central characters haven’t been destroyed or ruined. It was subversive to give a modicum of hope at the end. I didn’t want to bludgeon Carrie or Saul or the people who have been tuning in for eight seasons. ![]()
