It’s taking off from where we left off and it just keeps growing in scope. Right now we’re shooting Episodes 6 and 7, and I just got scripts for 8 and 9, so it’s just rolling along. TVLINE | Lastly, how is Season 2 of The Strain shaping up? I’m definitely a journeyman - and hopefully those journeys have made me wiser and I have many stories to tell. I kind of am a wanderer, aren’t I? I kind of like show up in many, many different places. TVLINE | As an actor, do you consider yourself a “wanderer” of sorts? As time will tell, you’ll see that his actions reverberate for a long time to come. We don’t have any direct interaction, but because of my actions, especially in Episode 4, he definitely leaves his mark, and the men definitely all feel it. TVLINE | Without revealing too much, do you get to interact with any of the main male characters? But Siggy somehow is really skeptical about me, and it’s interesting to see how that all plays out. So, she’s like, “Is there something wrong with my head?” So, yeah, there’s definitely a connection with these women in that they’re definitely enchanted. Well, she had just seen me in her dreams, and here I am wandering into town. TVLINE | Does he have distinct dynamics with Helga (Maude Hirst), Siggy and Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland)? When he first arrives, Helga seems almost a bit taken by him.

And there are a couple of other historical figures that I researched as well that I can’t mention, because… I’ll meddle everything up. While playing him, I’ve read a lot about Rasputin, because of “the mysterious wanderer coming into town and healing a powerful woman’s child,” so there are a lot of things to connect there. ![]() Because even at this point, even in conversations with Michael, there are hints as to who he might be. I think he’s definitely way more mysterious than I am in the interviews. TVLINE | Is the character as mysterious as you need to be during interviews? ![]() I’m the mysterious Wanderer and it seems like I have healing properties and I tell a lot of stories. It’s like, “OK, well, I can’t really comment on much. That’s the funny thing about this character and doing interviews. TVLINE | Is it perhaps no coincidence that Harbard has shown up while the men are away? I want to stay a fan.” And then Michael came up with this part and I was like, “There’s no way that I can’t do this, because he wrote such beautiful words and such an interesting fellow to play.” Like, I was a big Sons of Anarchy fan and then I started working for FX and my wife is like, “Wow, you should tell them you want to come and guest star,” and I was like, “I don’t want to go on there. TVLINE | It’d be like being a young fan of the Yankees, and all of a sudden they say, “Hey, could you play second base?”Įxactly. In Ireland, and also on a show that I’m a fan of, which makes it actually a little bit more nerve-wracking. Michael put it all down on the page and when I read it I was like, “Absolutely, man. They had dreams and then I’d kind of walk in and do some pretty epic things and take Ivar’s pain away, so they’re like, “What the heck, is this guy for real?” It’s kind of like a really nice big meal of a character that I get play. TVLINE | Is that because the women have dreamt of this guy? Is that why Siggy is skeptical?
