Renée Elise Goldsberry: Yes, let’s talk about the range that Simone Missick, the range. So how was playing the bounty hunter in Altered Carbon compared to all of your other roles like in Luke Cage? The Knockturnal: Yes, you know you deserve it, it was amazing. Renée Elise Goldsberry: What! Slow clap, slow clap. First off, congratulations on your NAACP nomination. The Knockturnal: I love the love story in season two, I think that’s what really got it for me in season two. But those two things were things that I felt I needed to see on a show and Altered Carbon gave it to me. Right? She actually just, you actually meet her and she’s real and she’s still powerful but she’s vulnerable and she has her own journey to figure out who she is and you know you’ll see that she figures it out. And in season two, what I love is she isn’t defined by being anybody’s dream. I loved that, I needed it, I think I needed it and that’s what really attracted me to her in season one is you know being that, just being this woman that was that in this world. Do you hear me? Do you get what I’m saying? I just love the fact when this main character closed his eyes no matter who he was with, no matter what body he was in, no matter what other body he was dealing with in any romantic situation, when he closed his eyes he saw the face of this black woman. I think so often I felt as an actress like I exist to make other couples interesting. In season one she is really, what I think attracted me to her is you know there’s this love story and she is the prize. Renée Elise Goldsberry: I love Quell too. How was playing Quell in season two compared to season one? I love season two, I’m so glad Quell is back. The Knockturnal: So you guys play such powerful female characters in Altered Carbon. So he had to go back home and find his happiness, so you know, be happy with you and everything else will fall into place. You know, one thing about Takeshi in this season that I wanted to make on the forefront of this story was you know he spent all this time looking for this person, looking for this love but he was really unhappy with himself. You have to find your happiness within you. The Knockturnal: Is there a message you want to give to anyone watching this series?Īnthony Mackie: You know, everyone deserves to be happy and don’t look for your happiness outside you. So, I don’t see it in the near future but I would love the ability to be somebody else for a day.

We haven’t even figured how to make cars not run into each other. Do you think this concept would happen in real life?Īnthony Mackie: I doubt it, you know.
#ALTERED CARBON CAST SEASON 1 SERIES#
The Knockturnal: Well this entire series had me at the edge of my seat every single episode.

So it was more of an experience of taking that character and putting him in the second season and putting my flavor on it. I saw season one but I never read the book. I read a little bit of some of the material for season two. Did his work influence your role?Īnthony Mackie: Oh no, not at all. The Knockturnal: And this series is based on the Richard Morgan book. So I always try to be the best I can be when I play a solider. If you’re a soldier on the right side or the left side you still believe what you believe and it’s not my job to tell you if it’s right or wrong. So I always try to portray them in a respectable light.
(Laughs) I got kicked out of ROTC three days in so I know I can never be a soldier but I feel like when I look at soldiers because I have soldiers in my family, veterans, it’s humbling, you know, because we’re able to live the life that we live because of the sacrifices they make. What about that role intrigues you?Īnthony Mackie: I’ve recognized people who can do what I can’t do, who have the backbone to be the man that I am not. The Knockturnal: You’ve played so many soldiers in your career. We all knew how lucky we were to be on season two of the show.
That was one thing about this, we were so lucky with our cast and even when the actors from season one came it was still just fun and everybody had a good time. It was unforgiving and relentless and everybody played fair and there were no divas. You know, that was a week-long sequence that we did every single day for fourteen hours a day. Anthony Mackie: It was a lot of fun, everybody came in and they were ready to play.
