"...Could you talk us through the process of the days you had shoot
Distressed Passengering and what they entailed?
We shot all 16 episodes in 3 days. They were long and intense, particularly the fight. For me there was a good deal of time in the chair getting on make-up. That, of course, got more intense as we progressed. I was fitted for contacts. They are huge. They assign a special technician to deal with the in/out and rewetting. It’s pretty cool. They are hard to see out of which is kind of an interesting trust exercise as someone has to usher you around the set in the dark so you don’t trip and kill yourself or break anything. I love the rigors of being on set. I love that we are all coming together to make something. This format is still new so there was a bit of an unknown element which added excitement to the whole process. Of course, it was great to be attached to Fear the Walking Dead and the play some small part in The Walking Dead franchise.
What factor of the show helped you most when getting into character?
Well, there are really two characters here, aren’t there? Two drives, awarenesses, or mindsets. Marcus before and Marcus after. I didn’t experience the consciousness of the Marcus being present after I turned. It becomes fairly simple, fairly primal. EAT! At any cost, the more desperate, the better. Prior to that, the wardrobe (suit and bolo tie) along with the goatee I was sporting. Not sure why I had one other than I was trying one out and it worked for Marcus. That told me a lot about who Marcus was. Self-serving, deceptive – heck, Marcus’s wife doesn’t even know he’d been bit. While things grow grim he still believes there is a way out. Tragic, selfish man..."
