I don’t know that it’s changed her values, in that she was always someone who believed in compassion and the human capacity for redemption and healing. I think you’re right, that biggest change is motherhood, which she’s chosen to define herself as a mother and chosen to articulate her love for her dead husband by raising his son in the way that she believes he would have wanted. So she’s changed profoundly the way any one of us does over the course of seven years. RT: What is Sara Tancredi like as a mother?Ĭallies: Seven years have passed since we saw her at all, and I don’t think those four seasons of Prison Break took more than 18 months, maybe two years. Prison Break was certainly an interesting thing to return to, that’s for sure. We’ve got Amaury, we’ve got Rockmond, we’ve got all those guys. Or any number of the strapping men around. When ass needs to be kicked, we tend to call Dominic for that kind of thing. My role on that show tends to be more head and heart centered than physical. I don’t know if that necessarily prepared me for Prison Break. Running around with those things gave me a new sense of admiration for the sheer physical strength that’s required from our armed forces, in the desert all day with a backpack on. Katie finds herself in the position of handling some larger firearms than I ever have before. With Colony this year, it was the gun training. There’s certain kinds of physical work that just are what they are, and you don’t need to add anything to it. I love it partly because it obviates the need for acting.
RT: After doing very physical shows like The Walking Dead and Colony, did you feel even stronger coming back for Prison Break?Ĭallies: I tend to have built myself a career where two or three days a week, my workout is just going to the office and running around and stuff. That drives straight through until episode four, and episode four is really amazing. It was exciting as an actor to look at Josh and go, “OK, so what was our marriage like before it became a matter of survival?” We discovered some things about relationships that we didn’t know had pre-existed things. It would be great, I’m proud of it, but the first episode will fill you in on everything you need. It’s also really smart because it means that if somebody hasn’t seen the first season, they don’t need to. You get a chance to get a glimpse of them before. We start with a flashback, and we get a sense of what The Yonk was before and who Katie was before, and Will and Broussard and all of these people who we’ve only ever seen in crisis.
I remember turning to Josh halfway through the first season and going, “Are Will and Katie alcoholics?” We spend an inordinate amount of time conversing over a cold beer or a glass of bourbon. All of a sudden, now there’s a possibility that we’re dealing with people who live in an ethical and moral universe the same way we do.Ĭallies: Oh, I love that bar so much. In the second season, we start to see hints that possibly that might exist in the alien community as well as the human community. This whole thing is about the slippery slope of making a decision that feels ethical at the time and the fallout of doing things with the best intentions. I’m very impressed with the way that Ryan and Carlton have created a world where even the aliens are not black-and-white good guys and bad guys. I think it’s possible that there are things that happen in the course of the second season that encourage Katie to re-examine her assumptions about who the Raps are. Does that change her point of view on them?Ĭallies: It’s difficult to change somebody’s point of view when you’re dead. RT: Katie saw a dead alien in the season finale. I think there’s a much larger sense of the context that these people are living in that you get through the course of the second season. Usually season 1, you’ve got all these great ideas, and in season 2, you just spend your whole time setting up season 3. I don’t actually think I’ve ever been a part of a show or even necessarily seen one that’s gotten so much stronger from season 1 to 2. Sarah Wayne Callies: It’s been amazing, actually. Fred Topel for Rotten Tomatoes: Has it been exciting to open up the world of Colony in season 2?
