How would it feel to live in a world where you can’t see? Apple TV Plus’ See Set in a post-apocalyptic world, hundreds of years after mankind has lost the ability to see. aquaman Actor Jason Momoa plays Baba Voss, the head of a tribe called the Alkeni. When word spreads that Baba’s adopted children might have the ability to see, the father goes to unexpected levels to protect his family. The show premiered in 2019, with the first episode of its third and final season releasing last week on August 26.
Talking about the series, lead actor Momoa said that the show is the biggest highlight of his career. “Yes, I’ve worked on a few particular franchises and it’s unbelievable that I got to play Duncan Idaho in this. DuneBut the emotional roller-coaster I’ve been on for the past three seasons of this show is something else. It’s the ‘funniest’ and most difficult experience,” Momoa said. See Helped him grow in his personal life apart from adding depth as an actor. “It takes a lot of respect and responsibility to train and play a blind character. It’s the heaviest burden I’ve ever had for any character.”
Training is no small feat without the ability to see and Momoa’s experience during training See Was like no one else, the actor said. “I began to deeply appreciate all my senses. The more we trained without using sight, the better it was for me, because an ultimate warrior uses all the senses to be like a beast “
Momoa isn’t new to science-fiction/fantasy, having been a part of titles like game of Thrones, stargate atlantisAnd Dune, but nothing compares See, They said. “Even the way they capture it cinematically, it is unique. The way the show looks and is set, the way you have to navigate this world, everything is different. Even if you break it for action – I can’t make eye contact when I’m wielding a sword at someone. So it’s very challenging to fight and don’t look at someone you can see, and you Don’t want to hurt my stuntmen or actors. As far as my career is concerned, this is the most challenging job I have ever done.”
Finding closure is important for a character, and Momoa seems to have found it with Baba Voss. “I get to play a variety of characters, but I never really get to go completely. Sometimes, they just don’t get the ending. But Baba Voss shuts down characters like Drogo ( game of Thrones) and Declan Harp ( marginal) I’ve got a beautiful arc here.”
But working for the series also had its drawbacks for the actor. Momoa suffered a lot of injuries on set, and the tight schedule didn’t help either. “We shot continuously, so I broke my shoulder and got a hernia. So this new season is probably the worst for me!” (laughs)
season three See Momoa says he was shot during the pandemic, and what was going on in his personal life was similar to what was happening with Baba. “I was living it and hurting as much as it was, and have since recovered. Training was like surviving and recovering and making sure I could finish as I had to go aquaman Soon after season three. so it was season two See, slumberlandAnd then season three one after the other!”
