Risdahl spoke with Variety About the sad affection of its character for lost boys, revealing the argument between Arthur and his wife Dame Silvia (Essie Davis) and how his college chemical professor inspired Arthur’s 70s.
“Observation” immediately follows the wendy hearing of extraterrestrial samples for the first time. Arthur is in the room that is forced to force the Kalier boy makes vendy recreative extraterrestrial sounds through its system. Is this a moment when Arthur starts questioning his loyalty to Prodigi Corporation?
I thought about Arthur as if it was Manhattan, and this idea that they were scientists behind the Manhattan project, who loved science and loved it to be part of it. I definitely circle that this episode in which it is all changes, because Prodigi Corporation has created this ethical code with very clear instructions. Arthur entrusted his wife and the process behind making hybrids, and then suddenly, it starts to feel like part of the problem.
Arthur conflicts Silvia ladies about his worries that Venda communicates directly with aliens, and other people lost boys near unknown samples. She tells him that their work is for good science and humanity, but Arthur disagrees with that statement. Why do you think Arthur grew up to take care of children, although technically his experiments are?
It’s surprising. He constantly speaks at the beginning of the show that these children are hybrids and try to distance themselves from them emotionally. She keeps getting emotion about these children, and she too. For Essie and I, our characters are pseudo’s father and mother, and it becomes a little about growing up for them. Као отац, почнете да гледате да ваша деца раде ствари које вас изненађују и почнете да бринете на начине на које нисте мислили да сте (могли), имате страхове да нисте мислили да нисте мислили да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да нећете мислити да не бисте мислили да нећете. For me, the metaphor of paternity is part of his travel and port of unknown. They are scientists, but their love and care for these children, so their complicity in their harm, starts to bother him subconsciously.

After this conversation, does Arthur see himself as the main parent figure for lost boys after what they were exposed?
There are a lot of cognitive dissonance in Arthur. It is similar to where I am now with AI and Transhumanism, and his idea in the future where we can take someone’s mind and put it in the robot showing that we don’t know how to feel how we will feel when it happens. We can have ethics and ideals, but then the reality of what is happening overwhelm. Consciously, Arthur would say no, but subconsciously, he would say to be their parental figure.
As Vendi experiments, Joe (Alex Baddvor) and Arthur are starting to be on the same page of their variable feelings for Prodiga Corporation as workers. Between the way they give each other in the lab, because the boy is looking for Arthur to continue the hearing test in the way Joe is treated after surgery, the gears slowly turn their heads.
Arthur sees how much Joe loves his sister and reminds him that it is a real person. This is a real brother, and although scientists talk in science (hybrid terminology), it affects the right people. In order for Joe’s presence to be there, a change in Arthur is distorted. He sees how much he loves her and how much he was hit. Arthur begins to see and realizes that, of course, Joe will feel that way about Wendy. Arthur begins to realize that this corporation without heart is and I think it begins to take a lot from seeing Joe and begins to change his inner state.
Everyone in Prodigi Corporation has a unique style, from boys Kavalier’s Pajamas-Eskue Clothes for Arthur Retro Estet. How did you enter Arthur’s wardrobe to send you his character in life?
Suttirat (Larlab), which is a costume designer, and I went back and forth at Artur’s appearance, and we had all these pictures of the ’70s scientists who worked in Nasi who had large shirts with large beards. The inspiration was a hippy who like science everything. I was actually a chemic major at the faculty, and I had a massive chin, and he grabbed insects on the road, and it would be like “guys, we’ll show him this cool bug! We’ll show it under a microscope!” And so much he loved it. It’s kind of who Arthur is. He loves the job, and it allows you (as an actor) to put Blinze on a larger ethic of everything.
