Fear the Walking Dead: Cliff Curtis on Spin-Off Concerns, Series Secrecy
In a phone interview with Collider, Fear the Walking Dead star Cliff Curtis spoke about the upcoming season, and his initial experience playing in the world of The Walking Dead.
"I was like, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Don't mess with the mojo," Curtis said, on concerns about starring in a spin-off. "But when I read the script, I was so impressed. It's a family drama and so different that I thought, 'if you've gotta try, this is an interesting direction to take it."
"We were ultimately creating this new part of the franchise in our own image and we were distinguishing ourselves so clearly from that other show that that's what makes it interesting and good." He said that secrecy was a big deal, leading to a lack of knowledge on the actor's part going forward.
"It's all so top secret that they just don't tell you anything... it's ridiculous, but it's also really fun. It's all for the fun of the show and the genre." He describes his character as a fixer, a problem solver, but also an anti-action man. Something tells me that in this world, he's going to have to change a lot if he's to adapt.
