I think there's a lot of unresolved stuff going on between John B and Sarah. Will that monumental and complicated loss bring them closer or drive them away from each other? I mean, they watch both of their fathers die in the season finale. Their relationship is really tested this season. His return throws off the dynamic of the entire friend group, especially between John B and Sarah. So he’s reliving trauma that puts him exactly where he was in season one. It’s uncertain, but I think once his dad is there he takes it as an opportunity to let his guard down a little bit, assuming that his dad is going to have his best interests, and he quickly realizes that that's not necessarily the case… We find out that unfortunately his dad left him to go find treasure, and this fictionalized idea that he had of him is not real. You’d think it would be the thing that completes him, but it almost breaks him on a few occasions as he starts to learn who his dad really is, or who he’s become. Let’s talk about John B’s reunion with his dad. And then I finished a couple days before Christmas, and I went straight to my mom's house, and stayed at her house all the way through the second week of January.

I was hoping I could decompress after that, but then four days after I finished that film I went and did a film with one of my favorite directors of all time, Nick Cassavetes, who directed The Notebook. I kind of used all of it and dove into the next project.

I shaved my head, I think the video was at like 2:47 AM? And then I went on Monday morning to Vancouver to start my next project. I finished this season on my 30th birthday, which was a Friday, and we did an overnight and I wrapped at 2:30 in the morning on Saturday. Treasure hunting and things of that sort have definitely become more of a topic of conversation in my life than they have in the past.Īfter you wrapped the season, what did decompressing look like for you? I'm a huge believer in lost legends, and I've been able to connect with this character and be a part of the Routledge family, you kind of become a little bit obsessed with their world. We have sort of an idea, but for me it was more along the lines of, “OK, this looks cool on paper, but how do we pull this off in real life?” It's pretty cool to see all the hard work that it took to make El Dorado, the city of gold come to life in our little show. We never really know exactly how the season's going to end. Our writers have a pretty interesting process of writing scripts. Pretty early on we knew the arc of the season, probably towards the latter half, like the fifth episode was there a real reality of us figuring it out.
