Collider: This show is completely bonkers.
Was it also completely bonkers to make?
Was that fun for you, or did you have a ton of questions, after reading the script?
I read the pilot, and that was it.
Once I signed on, I read two more.
You really have to trust that theyre gonna do something exciting.

And also, in a weird way, you learn about your character, as you go.
So, I knew the overall shape of certain things, but I was still learning as I went.
Thats why I think pilots are very difficult, even though I thought this pilot was really amazing.

So, starting things is hard.
RADNOR: Thats the leap of faith.
The odds of that happening are fairly slim.

Did you also want to see to it that he could pull off what he was attempting to do?
And then, David really has a vision for this thing.
He knows what hes doing and he knew where the pitfalls were.
Hes really going for it.
And I would rather be aligned with people who lean more towards an audacious vision than a safe vision.
RADNOR: I know.
I think its quite extraordinary, what hes done.
This team of hunters is a very eclectic group of actors.
RADNOR: I actually think that I came in, on a little later side.
You wanna know that youre gonna be on a strong team.
How much fun is it to work with that team dynamic?
When Al would talk, we would listen, and when Meyer talks, characters listen.
They honor that he has experience and he knows what the drill is.
Even the hunters, off screen, all of us had such a good time.
I think all of the actors have like strong theater backgrounds.
I dont know if Logan [Lerman] has done a play.
He mightve said that he hasnt.
We were playing roles that were just very different for everyone, and we had a ball.
It was just really fun.
Youve been in this business long enough to see various shifts.
RADNOR: Its certainly not something that I had penciled in on my career schedule.
That was just a delightful, surprising thing that came up.
And I think thats the consequence of a lot of great stories right now.
Do you watch streaming shows, yourself?
Is that a part of your life?
RADNOR: Yeah, certainly.
I like the 10 to 12 episode thing.
I like that you could watch them all, or you could piecemeal them out.
Theres still some shows that are an event, and every week is pretty exciting.
RADNOR: Its hard for me to isolate a single costume piece because they all became vital.
Sometimes you find a character working from outside in, and sometimes its inside out.
This was a character that was more outside in, honestly.
And I was like, Thats what Im thinking.
So, we found this great facial hair look.
And then I looked at myself and I didnt, I didnt look like myself.
I looked like a different person.
It changed my walk and the whole feeling in my body.
From that, I just found the guy.
I had shoes that I really loved.
I had this leather jacket that I really loved.
I had all of these pieces of jewelry that I really loved.
Wearing these big, chunky rings made my hands do different things.
Between the facial hair and the wardrobe, it all served to help me find this guy.
Why does he choose to dress like this?
That all served me really well, as an actor.
The series also gets extremely violent, at times.
Were there scenes like that, that were particularly challenging to shoot?
And the torture scene in Episode 5 was pretty gross.
Sometimes theres just a kick to being an actor and going, Wow, Ive never done this before.
I hadnt fired a gun in a show before, so I got weapons training.
RADNOR: I would hope so.
You see that mask drop, in various moments, and you see a hurt, suffering person underneath.
Thats the juice, as an actor.
You really want that journey.
So, by the end of the season, I think youll feel different.
And also, if the writing is good, and this writing was very good, it makes sense.
The characters behave appropriately.
I just felt like the character made so much sense, the more I played him.
I knew how he would respond in this situation.
Having already doneLiberal ArtsandHappythankyoumoreplease, are you looking to write and direct another film again soon?
Do you have anything ready to go?
RADNOR: Yeah, I have a bunch of stuff thats either done or ready to go.
I loved the experience of writing and directing those first two.
So, all I can say is that, yes, there will be more, for sure.
