THE LOST BOY
Season three feels like there’s more at stake for Will…
Something that me and the writers and producers, specifically Zack Estrin and the two creators Burk [Sharpless] and Matt [Sazama], talked about and made sure from the beginning of season one was ageing Will Robinson as I grew up in real life. In season three, Will makes some mistakes. He catches himself lying, thinking that he’s doing the right thing. When we were going into it, we really wanted to make sure that it was as authentic as possible and that Will Robinson wasn’t still trying to be a little kid, that he was as much of a teenager as any normal teenager out there. It’s just that the stakes are much higher.
What new sci-fi has Lost In Space opened your eyes to?
I love . I actually got the chance to meet Doug Jones at the Saturn Awards. I’ve been nominated against him twice. And he’s beaten me both times, justifiably! He’s such a nice guy. Also, of course, came out. In the second season there’s a scene at the end where I face off against the robots and the writers kept saying, “Oh, this is like your Muad’Dib moment, like you’re in ”. Muad’Dib has actually kind of been an influence for Will Robinson, subtly, over the course is also something that I’ve been exposed to for sure.
