Long before joining Apple TV+ Series foundation As a mule – the ruthless, fiery, and deep complex villain of three – Pilo Asbek already had a fan of style TV watchers. He played the role of Eurone Grayi (a ruthless, fiery, depth, complex villain) on HBO game of ThronesThere is a connection, but to tell the Danish actor that it tells that it tells the same letters No A reflection of his real personality.
“I’m the most boring man alive,” Asbæk recently told iO9 foundation Press day. “I will not hurt a fly. I don’t get out of the line. I am just an ordinary man who likes to eat pizza, drink beer, and watch the game. But he said, I think I got the role that David (Goer ,, Gair, foundation The manufacturer and executive manufacturer) saw my portrayal of Euron Graysi game of ThronesAnd he thought that he would be the element he wanted to bring – this unexpectedness, that madness. foundationBecause he is the one who is a mule: he is anarchy. The entire show is about predicting the future, knowing what is going to happen, the foundation and the empire will be able to cooperate, et wetra. And then suddenly you have this character that is like a danger, which brings violence. Disaster!”
But being cast foundation Not only the show and its story, but also for Isaac Asimov the first introduction of Asbæk. ,I knew nothing about books. Honestly, I knew nothing about the show. I don’t watch a lot of TVs, “He said.” So when I got a call from David Gair, I asked me if I want to read the scripts and portray the mule in season three, he opened a door that I did not know that I was present in a world that I did not know that I was in existence. And I was introduced to Asimov. And then I came to know that whatever science-Fi I saw in my life is inspired by his books, and this was such a revelation. I am super grateful to be a part of i foundationBut I am mostly grateful to Asimov’s introduction, to be honest. ,
The mule is still teased in the story – he actually appeared in season two, very briefly, painted by Mikel Persbrand. But season Three saw that the character is full-throatal, which is correct from the first scene of the first episode.
“I knew he wanted him very masculine, because that is why he had a Mikel Persbrandat (game) in season two; (that) is a very masculine actor,” said Asbek. “So I knew that he wanted him to be a swag, he wanted him to be this cruelty. But what I thought was the most interesting about the mule, honestly had an accurate opposite. He was frozen in time, he was a child in time, he does not know how to have a relationship, how to feel love, because he never really experiences.”
He continued. “This inspiration has come from a book Small princess By (Antony Day) St.-Acupree; This is why he is wearing a red cape. This is why he in some scenes a child (like works). And (as the show moves forward), you will understand even more why I do these strange changes throughout the season, as he likes, ‘What’s wrong with him?’ He is a little away. He is out of the sink with the world. And that … I don’t want to spoil anything. ,
noted! And foundation Fans already know that they are rewarding many nuances of the show. But it’s not a spoiled to say foundation, The series takes a different view to the character, compared to the source material.
“The reason for which we have made him very different from books, that is the way the mule is in the books, he is a fool, he is a very weak, unsafe character that you will not consider being one of the greatest villains ever,” said Asbek. “We didn’t have time to do this. We have this, (and) perhaps in the next season, where we have to go at a distance of 2,000 miles per hour, to introduce the character, he is a danger, he can kill everyone, he can rule the world, and now the foundation and empire needs to find out: Are we going to cooperate, or are we going to die?”
foundation The fourth season has not yet been renewed (ASBæk has high expectations, joking, “I have just bought a house!”), But season three are almost here: the first episode is the first episode Apple TV+ hits on July 11.
