'Twisted Metal' star Anthony Mackie talks stunt-driving through a mall, fist-fighting a killer clown, and expanding on the PlayStation classic.
Twisted MetalI was looking for something different; I was looking for something in a comedy vein. It kind of came up luckily because the original group that put it together [brought] me on board. [When] I read the pilot, I was a big fan of MJ [Michael Jonathan Smith], who was the showrunner, [and] also did, because I love that show. And once he told me what episodes he had done, I was like, “Oh, wow, [this] is really fun TV.”– specifically Nineties nostalgia.
Speaking of intimidating figures, what was it like working opposite wrestler Samoa Joe as series mascot Sweet Tooth the killer clown? Franchise mascot Sweet Tooth is played by Samoa Joe onscreen and voiced by Will Arnett in ‘Twisted Metal.’It was the first day on set. I had to catch myself. I walk in, and they’re putting on his wardrobe and his mask. The scene that we were in… [the] Las Vegas scene of him, in Las Vegas after the apocalypse, and just seeing him with that backdrop with that reality was really jarring. And, as much as he was acting, I don’t know if he was just beating me up because I’m in.
No, no, no, no, no, there was extreme internal logic. That was a lot of the conversations, as producers, we talked about. MJ led a lot of that, just keeping that bible and keeping it true to each character, and what those characters meant.She plays a very significant role in the world that we’re in, but also her name plays a very significant role in the character. [There’s] a reason why she’s called Quiet.
