  • Typecasting is something that every actor has to deal with throughout their career, and although you may think it's strange to get upset when you're being offered jobs, Lance Reddick was just sick of playing the same types of characters over and over again.

    Lance is so frikkin' awesome. He can do more with his mouth closed and simple tightening of his cheeks to communicate disdain or some other emotion than actors with a page of dialogue. Loved that he was so open in this interview re Bosch. Notably, he doesn't really say anything like "But surprisingly to me, Chief Irwin's character arc has turned out to be really interesting and complex" ha hah.. My favorite scene of his thus far in Bosch is his simply pressing the electric window up in his car to essentially ice the person across from him in another car.

    Reddick as Cutler in Tron: Uprising gave the character a lot of weight because of his voice, but his previous works helped establish what they were going for with Cutler as well.

    Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
