00:00:00.153 --> 00:00:02.820
(gentle music)

2
00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:07.200
- How am I like Marlene?

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.033
Well, you know what?

4
00:00:08.033 --> 00:00:10.830
I grew up on military bases.

5
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:14.310
My dad was an explosive
expert in the military.

6
00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:18.540
So there's a very, I
guess, regimented ideology

7
00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:22.560
of how you follow orders
and how you do things

8
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:23.550
for the safety of all.

9
00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:27.090
And I think that that mentality

10
00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:29.850
is one of the things
that I think makes Merle

11
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:31.470
such a disciplined person.

12
00:00:31.470 --> 00:00:35.940
Marlene is, for all intents
and purposes, a soldier.

13
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:37.413
Do the right thing here.

14
00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:41.820
She won't feel anything.

15
00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:44.160
The way that I approached Marlene

16
00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:49.160
was similar in that I had built

17
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:52.230
a pretty intricate
understanding of her history,

18
00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:55.500
and where she had been and
what she had been through

19
00:00:55.500 --> 00:01:00.240
and how her outbreak experience went.

20
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.800
As far as any adjustments
or shifts to play her

21
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:06.360
in front of the camera,

22
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:08.790
it really is just a matter of, you know,

23
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:12.683
I'd only played her in mocap
suits with wooden guns.

24
00:01:12.683 --> 00:01:14.430
I think the biggest adjustment

25
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.160
was to actually be wearing her clothes

26
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:18.660
and handling her weapons.

27
00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:21.429
And as an actor, that's our work.

28
00:01:21.429 --> 00:01:22.262
(triumphant music)

29
00:01:22.262 --> 00:01:25.260
Who would I want as my
sidekick an apocalypse?

30
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:27.300
Probably Bella, I gotta say.

31
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:30.330
She's incredibly kind and sweet,

32
00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:33.448
but also ferocious when she needs to be.

33
00:01:33.448 --> 00:01:35.220
(man grunting)

34
00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:37.800
And she's also inexhaustibly curious,

35
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:42.060
and I just feel like her
spidey senses are always out.

36
00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:43.800
And I think that would really help.

37
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:46.050
Who wouldn't I want in the, ah?

38
00:01:46.050 --> 00:01:49.290
Maybe that dog. (laughs)

39
00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:52.170
'Cause he was running
away from everything.

40
00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:54.120
I mean, I love a pet, but you never,

41
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.340
and also if something
happened to that doggone dog,

42
00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:58.263
I would never forgive myself.
