So, I think it was inevitable that we were going to get to that moment.
But you know what?
Unfortunately for our fans, you cant have your cake and then eat it.
But you know what?
So we felt we had to do it justice, as well.
But, we did a lot of giggling.
You mentioned how the show needs that tension, and I feel like the mojo-swap definitely helps maintain that.
His life, its a whack-a-mole of new issues and problems.
Ultimately, it comes back to self-reflection and how does he feel about himself.
Of course with being an angel and the fact he can self-realize, it doesnt really help that situation.
So things like mojo-swapping and sort of stuff is out of his control.
At what point did you find out that was the answer?
But I really love that.
I think thats where our show really works when people can identify something human about Lucifer.
He doesnt realize its a human trait when hes going through it but it is.
Hes experiencing humanity first-hand, and thats his hardest thing to understand.
So it sounds like you had a sense of this for a while?
It wasnt like some magical [revelation].
Every conceit on our show about the Devil comes back to self-reflecting oneself.
It was really weird at first.
Thats sort of a comfortable skin for me to slip into now.
But to come up and play a completely new character was really sort of testing for my own confidence.
Every actor racked with doubt, no matter what theyll tell you, about what theyre doing.
In the end, I really enjoyed that.
It was just crazy the days we had to do Lucifer and Michael in the same scene.
It was like six of me at one point.
When we spoke on set in December, you mentioned howMichaels terrible fashion sense helped you get into character.
Was there anything you did to get into Michael when you were jumping back and forth?
I guess I need a trigger when I need to jump into a character.
Just to walk around like that for a bit and then start talking in his voice.
I would give a shot to keep in the Michael voice whilst I was doing it because its easier.
It was freaking the crew out a lot.
Im like, Great, job done!
Yes, Rachael Harris was telling me how much shehatedMichael when I was on set.
Well, Rachael dislikes Michael because its Tom Ellis talking in an American accent.
Stop doing it, like.
The first eight episodes ofLuciferseason 5 are available on Netflix now.
