The London-based actors, who formed a friendship while shooting the Isaac Asimov adaptation, talk about the series' color-blind casting approach: 'Skin has nothing to do with her character.'
Harvey, age 27, grew up in London, while 26-year-old Llobell, born to a Zimbabwean mother and Spanish father, grew up in South Africa and Spain. Though the characters they play are planets away onscreen, behind the scenes the two actors have built a real friendship, finding common ground in the newness of their shared experience on set. Says Harvey, “From day one, we helped each other cope with the challenges that come with doing a big job like this, and we’ve become incredibly close.
I felt like I was on another planet most of the time, but I was just in Iceland. It’s kind of hard to differentiate the realities that you’re in when you’re so embedded in the show. Because it’s so deep — it’s so detailed as well — that it’s not hard to imagine that you’re on another planet.How did working as a Black actor in this universe impact how you played the role, if at all?I love the fact that, like being a Black person, I get to exist. And that’s a protest in and of itself.
