Elijah you've had so many roles over the years and I'm sure everybody goes to well but I want to let you know my favorite grand piano oh man awesome a masterpiece I just saw your Hyo the other day the filmmaker it was so good it's such an amazing I love that film thank you but you're no stranger to television Wilfred wilfred's amazing what is it like working with this cast on this kind of a project oh it's extraordinary um it's a gift man we we get to exist in a a a sandbox of Max landis's creation um where all of his you know imaginative sort of whims um and wild ideas get to play and and he has the freedom to express them and we get to be the Agents of those creative ideas it's a blast and these characters as aside from the kind of like the wildness of the show and the way that it sort of plays with all these genres it's also it's filled with characters with emotional truths that are are incredibly well articulated and have a great deal of depth the stakes are emotional and that's what we get to sort of enjoy and play with so much and and I get to talk to Renfield yeah I was a fan of Benny Dreadful my favorite literary characters isn't it it's such a great character too so what is it like working with with with Dirk and the whole crew here oh it's amazing um it it I love that it's not I love that it's not called Dirk gently I mean obviously there was the original BBC version so it can't be but it is it it's a real Ensemble show which I absolutely love and I also like that they've been brave in their in their casting choices like you know I I'm not known in American TV and and particularly and and you know they went for me because they thought I was kind of right for the role and it's like that's that's Brave of them to do that on a show like this I'm I kind of applaud that and everyone is so good that's the thing Max has been able to start writing really from halfway through season 1 really he's been able to start writing to us much more so he's got the combination of the characters in his head plus our voices saying them so it feels um they feel like us and it's so weird season one people go oh my God you're so much like DK and I was like nothing like that oh no I am no I mean I kind of am like I I get that I am now so we've we've met we've met halfway so tell us all about your roles indur please yes um tell us about bart everything tell us all about your character uh I play a homicidal dirt Muppet I like that um who who kills people on the will of the universe that sounds like fun yeah it's really fun so so what is it like working with this cast oh the this cast is fun we hang out you know the the scripts are really unique I feel like we're um we're getting to reenact kind of fantasy which is really fun yeah well Ken I play Ken uh a computer hacker of sorts I feel like Ken would have been a character in hackers M you know hacked the planet you know I mean he is uh a bit of a recluse a Hermit I don't think he's left his house very much I don't think he has many friends and then he meets this Bart Kish character it kind of shows him a whole new world of I don't know that he can step into he doesn't have to he doesn't have to feel so alone you know yeah so so what is it going to be like going out in Hall age with the amount of people that are out there I don't know yet it's going to be intense it's it's a big Hall have you been in there yet no man I haven't been on the convention floor yet either really they don't let you out for nothing do they they work as they work as I mean I'm somebody that has an idea of legendary and the legendar that I hear about Hall h is just profound and heralded so I'm excited man it's pretty insane I've been in there like twice they don't let us out of here either so but it's it's so there's just so many people in the sound system it's it's insane I I'm really I'm excited for you guys bro we got big Capal here as last panel you know this it's it's pretty cool to be a part of this and you guys are closing it out in fashion it's it's really cool well we really appreciate you guys coming out and talking to us thank you so much appreciate you thank so tell me about your characters in this series and and the second season and what we have coming up um well I mean first season Farah you know she very much plays by the rules she um uh by the book very like methodical where as second season she kind of breaks all the rules becomes like a complete uh criminal complete 180 this season which is kind of exciting I think um yeah this season is a lot more you learn a lot more about her where her kind of weird neosis come from and then um uh she's her her journey kind of takes her to a place uh called Bergs tiny little town in Montana doesn't really exist just in the mind of Max Landis um in search of Dirk that's where we left off last season he gets kidnapped Todd gets his first P rby litis attack um so we're on the Run trying to you know save the day again and and you what was the question again what what do you have coming up in the next season sorry we have a Hall h panel in a second so I was listening to her and I was like oh that's good that's good and then I forgot what the question was Hall h could be so intimidating totally you haven't been out there yet have you no we're so excited though time it's a lot of people I excited we're really excited make sure for one second you look up at the screen behind you and see how big your face is up on that screen I will not be doing that that sounds terrifying um oh God no uh season two for Amanda is uh she's full Rowdy three as evidenced by the hair um she's so much stronger this year and she's grown so much and she's discovering so much and um she's much more independent and she doesn't rely on Todd anymore because he totally betrayed her and he got his karma which she doesn't know yet but Hannah knows so I can say that uh yeah she's she's uh trying to find the rowy 3 because that's her new family and she actually gets to kicks some ass this year a little more like Farah for sure all the women kind of get their kickass moments oh yeah the women are awesome on the show well we thank you so much for coming out to talking to us good luck in Hall h if it helped any just think of me out there look for the bald and and you'll see the the light reflecting and you could just think of me and call down do that thank you enjoy H take care here [Music]
