There's so many storylines happening and there is a lot of like coming together, kind of going apart
0:06
There are also people that I only met like in the car on the way to the studio who I, you know, we're never going to cross over and storylines
0:15
You may never meet on screen. And then you see them in the episode and you're like, wow, you smashed that
0:25
The world is changing. Something that I really love about large-scale fantasy series with such a big ensemble
0:36
is just all the different combinations of characters we get throughout the season. So for season three, what was a new character relationship you were looking forward to exploring
0:45
Well, I mean, for me, our relationship continues to be the most important one
0:51
But I've really enjoyed properly getting to face off with Lanfear, make this strange alliance in episode one
1:00
And then that relationship gets very complicated because Lanthea crops up just where I don't want her
1:09
And I've really enjoyed, for Moraine, really, getting to know the Aiel Wise Ones
1:15
because they have so many similarities with Aya Sedai. They're sort of recognisably women of her ilk
1:23
but from a completely different culture with with different often different names for the same things so I found that very exciting
1:32
I was personally looking forward to having being somewhere that doing a bit of kind of combat
1:38
in amongst the action and also being with a whole big group of people like and that sort of
1:47
which about the opening sequence took quite a long time to film so I got to be with a lot of
1:51
the characters for a couple of weeks and that was a blast and because when you guys watch the whole
1:56
series the whole season is it's you don't realize that we just often don't see each other for a long
2:02
you know there not some characters i never met even though we in the same show so that was really really good fun and i feel like for me personally this season was the best one I had of all the three I think for Lan it not really a new relationship
2:16
but it was something I looked forward to was some more screen time with Yosha. The training sequences that I know a lot of fans
2:22
have looked forward to with the sword forms, and we did get into that a bit this season. I like to see sort of, not only Rand as a character
2:29
but Yosha as an actor, you know, his development and how good he is
2:34
and how he's just taking this character by the horns and is doing it so well
2:38
And so that was a real pleasure for me, just playing around with the Osho. For me, it's not one character, it's actually loads
2:46
There's a specific episode that I have in mind, episode four, where I was, every other day, there were so many new actors on set that I got to play with
2:55
And then every now and then I would go back, because there is, to explain it a bit more
2:59
there is an episode where I get to play seven different characters, and they all have their own lives
3:04
So with those lives come a lot of characters that you really, in a short amount of time
3:10
you really try to show their lives and really make those relationships feel real
3:15
And I got to play with so many different actors from all over the world, different, like, it was so diverse
3:22
and I felt so incredibly lucky. And sometimes it would just, it would be a weird
3:29
abstract experience as well because I would walk on set as Rand sometimes, playing Rand
3:35
and then on the same day would play a different character that I haven't played before with their characters
3:43
and then jump back to Rand again with characters that I know. And that whole experience as an actor felt so alive, was so refreshing
3:51
I was literally, you know, tying my shoelaces and then arrive on set
3:56
and then they would say action and then it was cut and I walked back to Rand
4:00
I felt like theater in a way. Episode four that Josiah was mentioning is a very pivotal episode for both of them
4:09
and they go through a trial, which people, fans of the books will know as the trial of
4:12
Ruidian Men will go into the into Ruidian and see where they come from And women will encounter multiple possibilities for the future
4:24
Some that may come to pass and some that won't. But it's kind of like living in a nightmare
4:29
So you see hundreds and hundreds of different futures, but through seeing hundreds of different futures
4:34
you'll find some are recurring. And perhaps they're the ones more likely to come to pass
4:39
So Moraine kind of receives some information in that, which resets her course for the rest of the season
4:49
And it's profound and unsettling and disturbing. And she's she's forever more changed
4:55
And she also finds an object in there. It's a deviation from the books
5:00
But it's an object that is very, very exciting for me to play with for the rest of the season
5:06
Isabella plays Fayil, and I think that's a character that they've kind of been
5:11
I'm sure some Bok fans have been anticipating for a while. It's kind of, she plays a pivotal kind of aspect in Perrin's journey
5:20
And I think, yeah, I think it would be something really exciting to see
5:24
I think she brings a complete new energy to the show, which I think being three seasons deep now is really hard to do
5:31
And I think she brings something really refreshing and has a completely different kind of style
5:37
in the way she kind of really attacks, you know, her scenes
5:41
And, yeah, I think it'll be really, really exciting for people to see her work
5:45
We've seen Matt kind of go on an individual journey in season two. He makes a choice which puts him on a journey
5:52
with one of his close friends. And I think we don't often see this kind of pairing
5:58
or we haven't, in season two. So I think seeing Matt in the context of, you know
6:03
being in the White Tower and, you know, he stays with one of the group of the Two Rivers
6:11
I was really excited to explore the relationship between the two of us
6:16
That was obviously our characters hadn't met at the end of season two. So to bring these two characters that are both fan favorites in their own right and the relationship between them is such a fan favorite relationship and to bring that to to screen was really really exciting yeah I mean I agree yeah I think it really great
6:39
to I you know I think it's so layered into the books and I think you can choose to see it either
6:46
way but i feel like it's pretty clear um and you know ray thought so too so it was really nice to
6:53
kind of make that really solid choice and to do it so early on as well so that we kind of establish
6:59
this um and you know by the end of episode one everyone's gone in their own kind of space again
7:07
so i think it's really nice to have that moment of of intimacy and connection before they all part
7:12
ways but knowing in the back of your mind that we're going to return to something that's such a
7:17
through line in the books it's nice for me actually one of the things that i was most excited to see
7:24
was the relationships between the forsaken because all we get really in season two is ishamiel and
7:31
land here who have this great relationship with each other and you can see the depth of the emotion
7:35
to it and so to be able to expand out on that and meet these other forsaken and how i mean each of
7:42
them is like in their own mind the most important person who's ever lived and so to see how this like
7:49
sort of nut house interacts with each other it was one of the pieces of the books i was like most
7:55
excited to get to yeah perhaps in kind of following what you're saying you maybe understand
8:01
lanfear and how she has to hold herself and her title or you know when you meet these others
8:07
you maybe understand why she has to go about for survival um yeah it all makes sense yeah
8:18
it's like meeting someone's family and you're like oh i see why you're crazy
8:22
you cannot afford to fail again
