“It has been an honor to bring to your TV each week a character unlike any I’ve seen before in this universe. A man who is equally compassionate as he is fire, equally vulnerable as he is tough, a man who fights openly for his love of another man and his dream of a family. A black queer superhero that leads with his mind as much as his hands. A man that is not quick to action but rational and level minded. A man that isn’t bombastic but able to explode when it is necessary. Sharing the many colors of Will with you all was an absolute joy.”

"I think it plays to the same themes of unity and vulnerability. I think he's finding himself within that. And it's not like Percy is, or anyone is, a fully formed individual. He doesn't have his emotions figured out. He's not completely mature, but it's kind of his journey of becoming an adult, of maturing. I think he's figuring out all of his emotions, and love is one of them. And it's very complicated, especially when you don't trust, and you're not willing to be vulnerable.” ©

“I think love is the only answer there is. You have to put yourself, the people around you, the people that care about you, and the people you care about, first. And never take any of it for granted. We don't know how long we're here or what can happen at any given point. Obviously, on this show, each character thinks about that a little differently, and we see how that works out for them. I think Felix really has a deep sense of self and heart. I think that's what has gotten all of us through the last few years of being alive -- hope that hopefully things can change and get better and that love will always prevail. It's not always the case, but I think that if we stop fighting for it, we stop living.” ©

"It’s just his faith in the world is still there. I think it’s because Elton is very realized internally. When you attack your problems internally instead of externally, you realize that you’re kind of the creator of your own reality. So when he’s so stable inside, these huge, crazy things happen to them. I mean, he finds out his mom died, he finds out his friend killed her. Those are two crazy things. And because of how stable Elton is, he’s unwavering. He’s still got that wonder for the world. He’s still a good person.”

“I think Hope is starting to see things a little bit more openly. The way that she would see it before would be like, ‘What the hell is the point of anything? Why are we even trying?' And then the way that Elton spoke up in Season 1 to her about everything, it was such a positive way of looking at it. It's like when kids find out about the idea of dying. Some parents are able to frame it in a way where it’s like, ‘This isn't something that you should be scared of. It happens to everybody and it's just the way of life.’ I think that’s similar to Elton's philosophy on life. I think in Season 2, Hope’s starting to see that with everything that's going on, there is a glimmer of hope. So she’s decided to look at this scientifically, and not be a cynic anymore. I was so happy when that change happened with her character! There are so many people who look at life that way: ‘What's the point? You're just going through the motions.’ Even playing Hope, I definitely had a little bit of that mentality for a while. When you play someone for so long it can really leave a mark on you. So I was like, ‘If negative Hope can be more positive, I think I can be more positive too.’” ©

“[Huck] left such a big mark on me. I loved her unpredictability and that she's so chill about it too. There's so much darkness in her. Her backstory is just so messed up. There's really no light to any of it, but the way she talks about it, the way she presents it, there's just so much fun in it. She’s just like ‘Oh yeah, that's fine, I'm totally cool, I got this.’ And she just marches off into the night. It was so invigorating and empowering to play someone like that during the last two years with the real world being in shambles. I'm really glad I had her in my life. She just has this great attitude: ‘It is what it is, let's go, life goes on.’ And it's like, ‘Wow, I'll take that attitude anytime.’”

“Silas spent so much time making himself smaller and less confronting to the world. I sort of gave him a hump back in Season 1—he was always hiding away. He also does lots of little nice things to try to create connections with people. There’s no ego involved with Silas. He's hunching over completely and avoiding eye contact. We see him stand taller and open up this season. It’s also great for me as an actor that when he starts becoming more comfortable and moves further away from the damaged, broken Silas, that he moves closer to a more normal version of Hal.“
