00:00The first episode ends with your character essentially doing kind of a William Tell
00:03moment with Rue, with the apple and the head and the gun, and it's so tense and so operatic.
00:21What was it like shooting that with Zendaya, and did you want to evoke anything in particular?
00:25It's a test of faith, you know, and I think that's really one of the themes of the show.
00:32You know, Alamo represents almost a rude awakening of sorts to these young, naive post-high schoolers
00:41who are trying to make their way into life.
00:44If you say you believe in God, let's see if he believes in you.
00:49He's that guy.
00:50If you're going to want to walk on the dark side, he is going to test you at every turn
00:57and the apple on the head, you know.
00:59And again, I think there's religious themes that you could add to that.
01:04Alamo has this trait where he enjoys the torture and the drama, whether it's the battle between
01:13him and Laurie, played by the wonderful Martha Kelly, he enjoys the drama of the battle,
01:21because I think that stimulates him, you know what I mean?
01:24And so with Rue, he has this, as you said, operatic, dramatic, theatrical side to him.
01:32So nothing is going to be simple with Alamo.
01:35If it's going to be a death, it's going to be a show, you know.
01:43But it was wonderful working with Zendaya.
01:45She was so up for it and generous and just like, you know, just giving as a scene partner.
01:55You know, she's very supportive in the scenes, you know.
01:57You know, she's very supportive in the scenes, you know.
