I look for things that scare me for a variety of reasons, and that one did.
We got this hint that Legarski had a twin brother, but tell us more about Wolf.
Is he more or less formidable than Rick?
How are they alike or different?
They’re very, very different people.
They took different paths from the same trail.
But Wolf has gone more off the beaten path.
You’re not going to win the battle by outlawing things, you win the hearts and minds.
That’s the difference between the two brothers in terms of their point of view.
The first sight we get of you this season is of your new ponytail.
Whose idea was that, and how are you liking it?
The questions of how Wolf was different than Rick started at the very beginning in my mind.
That made sense to me in terms of somebody who had made a different choice.
I’ve never had long hair; I barely had hair.
But one of the things that long hair takes is care.
It takes intention and care.
And it also usually takes someone else with intention and care to help you with it.
That is true in this new iteration of one of the Legarski brothers.
He has found a partner that gets him completely.
In some ways the ponytail was the beginning of that journey for me.
And it cost him.
This Legarski also has some sort of connection or tie to Ronald.
Can you tease how Ronald came to be chained up in his barn?
Wolf feels charged with that responsibility, and Ronald as an agent of that sin.
That’s where the connection starts.
Ronald and Rick had a fairly adversarial partnership.
Is this relationship worse or better?
[Laughs] They have more in common in some ways than Rick and Ronald did.
Is it fair to assume he has some role or connection to this shadowy syndicate?
I don’t know if it would be fair to assume that.
I think it would be logical to assume that he did.
You get to meet a variety of characters, both from and not from the environment.
What the connection is, I’m not going to tell you.
Merilee went to jail for killing Rick, but does she know this brother exists?
Might we see Brooke Smith return in some way?
I would love to have Brooke return and and play Merilee.
There’s no doubt that Marilee would know about Wolf.
Although I have a feeling that Wolf didn’t show up at their wedding.
I think Wolf and Rick have been estranged for a long time.
How would you describe Wolf Legarski in three words?
Disciplined, loving, and deluded.
Can you tease next week’s episode?
All of the pieces of the car wreck begin to unfold.
Also,Wolf and Ronald get to know each other.
