The force behind Alpha speaks with The Hollywood Reporter about bringing the elemental 'eco warrior' to life: 'It's certainly intense — and I'm relishing the experience.'
. "I would get home from shooting and couldn't wait for people to see what we're doing. We were talking about the show as if [it] was season one all over again, and we've been able to add an entirely new feel to the show through Alpha's presence and her single-minded understanding of how the world is different now. In her mind, in order to exist in the world of the dead, you have to move among them. You have to be a part of them.
In this episode, you're playing Alpha across two points in time: her first time meeting Beta relatively early on in the apocalypse, and the modern moment, as tensions with the Alexandrians are once again rising. Does it help clarify the character for you, getting to dig back into the Alpha archives with a flashback?
As for Alpha, I already felt I had a real sense of her at that time, anyway. It was a real joy for me getting to play that. Like, "Oh, it's nice to share this with the audience, this beat her." And working with Havana — I had worked with her sister, Scarlet, last year [as Lydia], and she was incredible — I just thought we had great chemistry. I believe Ryan Hurst and myself have brilliant chemistry. We care, we listen, and we want to do our best. I think it shows.
