‘Alien: Romulus’ Director Explains the Casting Process for His Most Complicated Character

David Jonsson as Andy in 'Alien: Romulus'

The Big Picture If you were on the same mental track as we were during the first half of Alien: Romulus, then the words “we must protect Andy at all costs,” undoubtedly crossed your mind at some point. Gentle, kind, caring, and full of dad jokes, David Jonsson’s character, a synthetic named Andy, immediately becomes an audience favorite at the top of the film.

“ I didn’t know his work from before and he read for me. You could tell there that he was really passionate about it. It was a very long process to find that actor for that cast. I always take too long on the casting. I’m infamous at this point because I finally pulled the trigger on casting usually a week before principle. I really wanna make sure that I turned every stone and I didn’t compromise and I didn’t choose too soon.

Fede Álvarez Calls David Jonsson “A Total Pro” Close While the other personalities we meet in Romulus are rather clear-cut and have their obvious reasons for wanting a chance at a new life, Andy’s major character shift scrambles things up for the audience. Finding an actor who would come to set prepared for the challenges that faced such a thing was of the utmost importance, with Álvarez praising Jonsson’s commitment to the craft, character, and project.
