Pilou Asbæk on Playing the Mule, ‘Foundation’ Season 3’s Terrifying Villain

Before joining the Apple TV + series Basis like mule–Three seasonsRuthless, fiery and deep ink Cani-Pilou Asbæk had a fan of genre TV watchers. Euron played the HBO over Greyjoy (a ruthless, flammable, deep ink soul) Game. There is a connection there, but hear the Danish actor, similar characters no a reflection of the real personality.

“I’m the most boring guy” he said Basis Press Day. “I wouldn’t hurt a fly. I’m not out of order. I have a simple boy who loves to eat pizza food, drinking and watching sports. But this was David [Goyer, Foundation creator and executive producer] EURON had seen Greyjoy’s Porrayal Gameand he thought it would be an element he wanted to report that this is also unpredictable BasisBecause the mule is: he is chaos. All this show is due to predicting the future, knowing what will happen, the foundation and empire will be able to cooperate and Cetera. And suddenly, suddenly there is this character, which is like a danger that brings violence. Disaster! “

Be cut off Basis Asbæk’s only show and his story, but also the author Isaq Asimov. “I did not know anything about the books. To be honest, I did not know anything about the show. I don’t watch a lot of TV. “And I met Asimov. And then I found out all the Sci-Fi’s books I saw in my life and have been inspired by the books of Sci-Fi. BasisBut for the introduction of Asimova, thank you for being honest. “

Mule has been teased in the story so far – in fact in two seasons, in a very short way, Michael Partimlt was described. However, three of the season, the temperament sees that the first episode went to full gas.

“I knew that he wanted him to have a very man, because this is the reason for Mikael Persbandt [play] him in two seasons; [he’s] Many men’s actors, “Asbæk said.” Thus, I knew that they wanted to dinner, they wanted to be at the savagery. But what I thought, the most interesting about the mule was exactly the opposite. He is frozen in a timely manner, and for the fact that his relationship will be, and how love is not to feel how love does not experience love, not. “

Continued. “This inspiration came from a book called Little princess by [Antoine de] Saint-Exupéry; This is the reason for wearing the red cape. This is the reason [acts like] a child in some landscapes. And [as the show goes on]Why will you understand why these strange turns, as if it’s wrong? ‘ Fell a little. Does not synchronize with the world. And this … I don’t want to spoil anything. “

Wild! And Basis Fans already know that they are rewarded by paying attention to many nuances of shows. But it’s not a loot to say that Foundation, The series is a different approach to more characters than source material.

“We do not make it very much different from the books, the fact that the mule is in the books, he is stupid, this is a very weak, unreliable character that you will not think of being one of the greatest cases ever written so far.” “We didn’t have time to do it. We had it, [and] Perhaps the next season, because we should go for a 2,000 mile, he can kill everyone, can kill everyone, and now we go to the world, and now we go to the foundation and empire? “

Basis Still not yet updated for the fourth season (Abbæk, jokes, “I just got a house!”), Almost three seasons here: The first episode hits Apple TV + July 11.
