![]() ![]() Someone asked us before how we think the show would change if it were called “The Girls.” I think the women on our show are so badass. Moriarty was asked whether the dynamic would shift significantly if the show was called “The Girls” and the roles were reversed. And then that made the relationship very real, which made it easier for us to get vulnerable in front of each other, I think. Even when the cameras were rolling, we had this kind of a friendship that translated as sibling love on screen. I’m so happy that I got to work with Abraham Lim, who plays my brother. And it’s all up to you and your scene partner. But when you’re on set, you have to just kind of let it go. And then at the end of the day, I think you can do so much preparation. So yeah, in preparation, I think I did a lot of digging into my past and history and internal things. You don’t wake up thinking, “Oh yes, I get to do that scene where he dies!” We’re so passionate about it, but I must admit those days are difficult. This is our profession and we love doing it. It’s not a fun thing to do because, I guess it’s like, it’s so funny because we choose to do it. It was definitely a challenge as an actor to go to those dark places. I settled on this: how did she prepare for the intense emotional arc with Kimiko’s brother? Kimiko goes through the ringer in the span of a few episodes, from reuniting with her brother to watching him die by Stormfront’s hand. Kimiko is my absolute favorite, so it was difficult to choose which question to ask Fukuhara. Next, after roughly 15 minutes, we moved on to the next roundtable interview with Erin Moriarty and Karen Fukuhara. ![]() Shawn Ashmore as Lamplighter, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, and Tomer Capon as Frenchie in The Boys. I just have to look into his eyes and I’m there. I mean, especially with somebody like Homelander Antony is so good that he scares the shit out of me playing his character. ![]() I don’t have to do much I just have to respond. I have a lot of energy, and also the actors on the show are so good that it’s not that hard to just respond to them. I think understanding is fine, but you shouldn’t be on her side.Īnother journalist asked Minifie what helps her stay in Ashley’s perpetually chaotic headspace. The moments that I did connect to her, I also wanted to make sure that in the arc of the season, we weren’t saying, “Well, because you understand this about her that excuses anything,” which is very different than normally playing a character where I maybe would want to find the real reason behind and allow the audience to see that and understand her. So for me, I think of every role as being very distanced and then the journey of acting, not to get gross, is to try to get closer and closer to that character through different parts of yourself and to acknowledge all of the icky, sh*tty parts of yourself that you can also use to play characters that you don’t necessarily identify with.īut for this specific one, because she is a white supremacist and she’s disgusting, and I don’t think that she should be glorified in any way, it was very challenging. I think the first thing is that actors think they’re more transformative than we actually are. Especially since the character is so far removed from Cash as a person. Of course, I had to ask Cash how she mentally prepared to take on a role like Stormfront. Aya Cash as Stormfront, Cameron Crovetti as Ryan and Shantel VanSanten as Becca Butcher in The Boys, “Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker” Amazon Prime/Panagiotis Pantazidisįirst thing’s first - time to chat with Aya Cash and Colby Minifie! Each press outlet was granted one question per roundtable interview and may ask a second one, time permitting.
