Was there a scene or stunt that was particularly challenging?
It was just a weird lift.
Peter and Rose are the duo at the center of this story.
Can you talk a bit about building that dynamic?
It was nice to build their relationship because their trust had to be established.
How does learning the truth about his father change Peter going into season 2?
Tethering that revenge to what he knows he should be doing might be cool.
You’re gonna see a lot more inner turmoil on Peter’s end.
What questions do you have about Peter going into next season?
My questions would fall on administrations.
Selfishly, I’m sure he’d want her around, but it would be dangerous.
What was your reaction to learning he would die?
Do you think that was a turning point for Peter during the season?
That is the point at which he realized that involving people in his life puts them in danger.
The president offers Peter anything he’d like, and he chooses the truth about his father.
If you were presented with the same offer in your career, what would you ask for?
I’m going to stick with one of the lines I [improvised].
No more taxes for me and my friends.
To me, the income tax feels illegal.
I don’t understand it or the death tax.
So get rid of the death tax for everybody.
