'Fear the Walking Dead' Cast News: Alicia Actress Alycia Debnam Carey Talks Character Role
While the premiere of 'Fear the Walking Dead' had some groundbreaking numbers, it also left some questions and concerns about some of the introductory characters.
One that didn't get too much spotlight was Alycia Debnam-Carey's character Alicia. In a recent interview with IGN, she speaks on what what direction the show plans on moving her character, and what she currently knows.
She first addresses how Alicia is reacting to this whole situation:
"Obviously stuff's going around school, word's spreading but in the first episode and in the trailer I think, there's that moment where they're shooting on camera and she's like, "That's not real." She's still trying to justify everything and that's the amazing thing about human beings. You're thrust into an incredible situation and you're always trying to justify it realistically and logically for yourself and so part of that is the family always trying to protect her. They've been through a lot, obviously. As a family, we've lost a father and a husband. She's got a brother that's wayward and isn't around much anymore, so she's kind of been in the dark a lot and this is almost the final push where it's like we just want to keep at least someone safe and innocent and protected."
She also spoke a bit on the relationship between her character and her brother Nick:
"I think they were always close as kids and they had a great relationship and obviously they've shared an experience that no one else they know can relate to. They're siblings and they lost a father. That's an incredibly traumatic thing to go through and so they have that connection already and I think they are alike in many ways, but I think that situation has taken them on very different paths."
