Remembering Lance Reddick: Honoring His Career | A Fringe Interview

What do I think about playing such an older Broyles? I'm gonna have fun Because no no no because I love that what you know the for me and for most actors that I really kind of respect The most fun is always doing something different So it's really been great that I've been able to play three different versions of Broyles on this one show And so the fact that I'm going to be able to continue to explore the older version for an entire season and Potentially in even different different way than he was seen in episode 419 is very exciting And what do you hope for this season coming up for the last season for your character anything new anything?

That's different That's something that's or not expecting to see Well, you want are you asking me for specifics? No, no. No. Well what personally as an actor Well, you know, I'm I would really like broils this season to be really intricately involved in It's funny because I can't say the case because this season it's not even gonna be about case It's gonna be about really resistance moving movement against something occupying force but An integral part in that story, whatever that is Okay, and I wanted to ask you about your new online series Reddick the drone series Oh drone.

I'm really excited about that that's Bobby Glickert who was the writer director and Clark Baker who's the other executive producer? Sent me the script and I really really responded to it It's I'm starring in and I'm also a co-producer along with my my partner my business partner Stephen Adams, and it's gonna be on yum yum, which is Justin Lin's YouTube channel and And Justin Lin is also one of these executive producers, and it's about a drone It's about a combat drone in the near future How do I put this my character is ahead of a mercenary organization Kind of kind of like black futuristic blackwater and they design these combat battle robots drones that fight in wars and This one drone has gone on a mission with these other mercenaries with these other human mercenaries has gone rogue And it's about my characters dealing with kind of that situation and what that means for the other drones because it started to make it started to make, basically started to make decisions on its own based on its morality programs.

That's awesome I can't wait for it and for my last question for you is there any big pranksters on the set of Fringe? Any big pranksters? The biggest prankster on set is John Noble. Oh man John loves doing stuff to people. I'm just trying to think of stuff. However, boy, we got him back good. Josh Jackson had this great idea. We were shooting this scene and you know, John, I think it was season two, and John...

Sorry, it's so funny, think it around. And you know how this character's always eating something. Yes. So we're going to... I can't remember if we arrested this guy, but it was at a crime scene and we were interrogating this guy who owned this, there was this, in the back room of the shop and in the scene John is looking at, I think he's looking at a typewriter and he pulls a cookie out of his pocket to eat it and so Jas said on the next take, here's what we should do.

So what we did was just as John says his line, all three of us pull cookies out of our pockets and start eating with John. And John, he's eating and he's trying to get his lines out and he looks proud and he loses it. And that was, yeah, that was my favorite moment. - That's awesome. Well, thank you so much. I hope you have a good time at Comic-Con and good luck with the new season.

- Thank you. - And your new drone series, I appreciate it. (dramatic music) (explosion)
