The actors also discussed what science fiction stories have resonated with them before taking on an epic of their own.
The Big Picture This interview was conducted before the ongoing SAG-AFTRA & WGA strikes. The science fiction gem of a show, Apple TV+'s Foundation, just wrapped up its second season and took its story to even more expansive places than it had before. Though there are many characters in the series, at the center of this was the relationship between Lee Pace's Brother Day and Laura Birn's Demerzel who have a seemingly endless amount of messiness going on.
Oh yeah, absolutely. When you, Lee, had said Dune, the author of Dune actually grew up where I am now, which is always very interesting. There's a similar thing, in fact, when I was thinking about watching this in terms of a leader that kind of reveals himself to be maybe not the best person to follow, and the way you play your character is a combination of petrifying and also petulant.
BIRN: In this season, we get to the extreme version of being able to only express yourself with your eyes when she's imprisoned, when Cleon I actually finds her. As an actor, that was just an amazing challenge because it's very unique. She has a fight for her freedom, for her life, but she can only move her eyes, and she has her words, so she has her knowledge, but she can't do anything.
