David Rysdahl on Alien Earth, Big Monsters, and Working With Noah Hawley
Manage episode 502329285 series 3457789
David Rysdahl joins Kyle Meredith to talk about starring in FX’s Alien Earth, his second collaboration with creator Noah Hawley after Fargo. Rysdahl digs into how the show goes beyond the franchise’s trademark monsters to explore AI, immortality, climate catastrophe, and humanity’s place in the world. He also reflects on playing Arthur, the conscience of the series, how his role parallels his Fargo character Wayne, and why he feels like he’s portraying a piece of Hawley himself. The conversation also touches on fatherhood metaphors, respecting the lore of the Alien franchise, the thrill of practical effects, and how the series’ unexpected soundtrack choices (from Tool to Nina) elevate each episode.
