The cast of ResidentAlien talks about what to look forward to in season 2 of the sleeper hit Syfy series.
When Resident Alien premiered on Syfy in 2021, it shook up the standard science fiction tropes. In the series, an alien arrives on Earth, finds a reclusive doctor vacationing in a small town … and kills him. Afterward, the alien takes the man’s shape, becoming ‘Harry’, and sets out on his mission to destroy humanity.
Digital Trends: Harry is such an interesting character, and as an actor, I imagine he must be so much fun to play. You’re portraying someone who isn’t human … but is trying to convince the world he is human. How did this character come to be and how did you bring him to the screen? Normally, the quirky personalities of the supporting cast tend to stand out because in most shows the main character is a blank slate the audience can insert themselves onto … but with this show, every single character is unique, funny, and engaging. Do you think it makes it easier or harder to have your characters stand out when you’re surrounded by so many other compelling characters?
Sheridan: I think Harry basically being a child inside of a 45-year-old man’s body leads to tons of great interactions with the rest of the cast. An excellent example of that is his interactions with the character Max. Those scenes wouldn’t be funny at all if Harry had taken on the body of a 10-years-old. What makes it funny is that he looks like a grown man but acts like a child.
Bowen: I had a lot of practice trying to be funny growing up. I was the youngest child and only had brothers, so I learned from an early age that when you’re the youngest, the littlest, and the only girl in the family, you have to use everything you’ve got just to get someone to pay attention to you. I really feel like my childhood primed me for this show! I improv some of the lines, but honestly, a lot of the great material is already in the script.
