In college, I always learned that you're only as good as the other actor in the scene with you, and I really do believe that if both of you are on the same page, you can only grow and get better. ![]() I was kind of going, Can I do this on my own? I don't know if I can do this on my own. ![]() We got such amazing feedback on our story, our performances, and our chemistry. ![]() How was it working with them and building those crucial relationships?ĭG: Similar to what Cal said, it was like he and I established such a safe space and trust and bond with Season 1. And Danielle, for you, you were thrown into a different group of actors and characters as Nina joins Kaz (Freddy Carter), Inej (Amita Suman), and Jesper (Kit Young) alongside Wylan ( Jack Wolfe). And I missed acting with Dani, of course.Ħ. For me, it was a huge blessing to be able to do that, although I'm still very much looking forward to getting the hell out of there and joining these guys because I think we can make something very special. I got to really explore the character and the depth, and what that time alone and those thoughts can really bring to the surface, and apply them to the scene, give it darkness and brutality and the depth that I think it requires. It coincided really well with what Matthias was going through. It was, I think, maybe the most profound season in my life of figuring out who I am. You have to go through that period of isolation, working by yourself, and figuring out who Matthias is. I know that I'm part of The Crows and the vision further on, but with this season, you kind of have to be patient. Sometimes I would go to set and watch them do their thing or show up to the little rehearsals at one of our houses. Throughout our time over in Budapest, I was really longing to be with because we are so close off screen, and I just wanted to be part of it. I think that was such an incredible thing I was given, in retrospect, because Matthias is so isolated in nature anyway. Calahan, especially for you being so alone, what was that like?ĬS: It was a season of solitude for me, in both the show and in my own life. The biggest difference for both of you between Season 1 and Season 2 is you went from essentially having every scene together to only sharing two quick moments. Not as useful as the books, obviously, because with the books you also have a direct insight into your character's inner workings, their engines, their worries, their fears, all the subtext you could possibly want is written on the page for you. The fan artwork was so helpful because they're all so evocative and they have such attitude and stuff that I was able to understand the character more via seeing everyone else's interpretation of her because they know her so well. When I'm working on characters, I like to get a collage of things like songs, artwork, what their room looks like, just to have visual images. I think you inadvertently cast me or enabled me to be cast with all of your fan art and everything. ĭid you pull inspiration for your characters from other places prior to auditioning then?ĭG: I got a lot of my info from the fans. Had either of you read Six of Crows or any of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse books before auditioning? Or even heard of them?ĭG: Not before the audition came through.ĬS: Not for the audition. That might sound cliché sometimes, but it really did feel like I really understood this character. I gave it my best.Ĥ. ![]() There was something special about it then, and now, years later, having done plenty of auditions following that one, it's even more apparent to me that it felt right in the moment. It was really one of my first ones I got out of grad school. My family is Scandinavian, but obviously I'm from America. I believe they hadn't even opened up the audition process to Americans to start off with because they were looking for someone Scandinavian from over there. We just had a little Zoom chat and then I found out I got the part, like, a month or two later, which was crazy.Ĭalahan Skogman: I was the last of the bunch to join in on the party. So, I mean, everything was balancing precariously on my ironing board. It was the time before we were okay with Zoom, it was pre-pandemic. So, I had to do a Skype with Eric and Lee Toland Krieger. It was a tape, which is actually pretty orthodox, but then they wanted me to fly to London for a callback, but I couldn't because I was doing a show in Dublin. First, just looking back, what were each of your auditions like for Shadow and Bone?ĭanielle Galligan: My audition process was unorthodox.
