'The Acolyte' star Manny Jacinto addresses the Stranger and Osha romance, and says the big hand-holding finale scene was a last-minute change.
. Or at least everything worked out for his character, whether his name is Qimir, the Stranger, or whatever it was when he was a Jedi Padawan learning under Master Vernestra .), but he also displayed awesome memory wiping skills. Oh, and is there a budding dark side romance brewing between master and apprentice? That was one of many burning questions left unanswered at the conclusion of season 1, so we tracked down Jacinto on his uncharted planet armed with queries… and baby oil.
The cold was very difficult because there was one point where I came out of the water, and I had trouble not shaking. I couldn't stop shaking, and then was like, “Oh my God, I'm going to kill my actor. He's going to die from hypothermia.” And I was like, “No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Let's just go again.” But literally, I couldn't control my body, and I was just constantly shivering.
I mean, it’s definitely not easy. The dance background is incredibly helpful. It's so interesting because you want to move quick and you want to be powerful, but at the same time, you’ve got to remember that we're playing pretend. So there are instances when JJ and I were going at it and we were at a point where we would hurt ourselves.
We learn that the Stranger was Vernestra’s Padawan, and it’s really the one time we see a little alarm on your face when he senses she’s arrived on Brendok. What can you say about that relationship? It was always something that we wanted to allude to. From the beginning, we knew the journey of these characters, that it would end up in sort of this more intimate type of relationship. Everything from the being seduced by the dark side to the power of two. There is this sense of intimacy and romanticism that is just there, especially when you have two people that are thought of as being outsiders. You want somebody to go through this world that doesn't accept you.
