It’s just like Setrakian has told us before: love is our downfall.” “So I think the idea that Fet will develop feelings for people will definitely raise the stakes for him-and probably put fear in his heart. “When you’re in a group of people under such a high level of duress there is an intense level of bonding amongst the group,” Durand agrees. They had only their own lives to lose or worry about. As Eph noted prior to the initial charge against the Master, much of Vasiliy and Abraham’s confidence lay in the fact that they had no one waiting for them if they failed. It will be interesting seeing how these new group dynamics play out in Season 2, and how the changing relationships will affect Vasiliy’s confidence. He looks around the room and he has a genuine respect for everybody in that group and knows that can all play role in taking down the Master,” says Durand. “I don’t think he’s used to playing with other kids in the sandbox, but he’s a smart guy and he understands that there’s a lot of power that comes with numbers. It isn’t until the eighth episode ( “Creatures of the Night”) that he throws his lot in with Eph’s group.
When Vasiliy is first introduced, he’s a lone wolf on a hunt. Things are getting more intense as the minutes roll by, and it’s kind of like seeing a great prize fighter before a big fight staying really calm and relaxed and ready for action.” He’s a master at exterminating, and this new world really needs him and I think he’s so happy to step up to the task. “Fet has this Viking warrior inside of him. “He really finds himself and is blooming like a beautiful Ukrainian flower amidst the apocalypse,” explains Durand with a hearty chuckle. The former was a pretty unrepentantly evil dude, while the latter is easily one of the most heroic figures of The Strain.
And I’m so grateful for the fact that he thought about me for both times.” Durand as Martin Keamy in LOST.Īpart from their imposing physicality, though, Keamy and Vasiliy Fet are far removed. I’m so grateful that Carlton thought of me for both characters, because I think these characters up to this point-and I’ve been doing this for like twenty-three years or something-they seem to be the characters that have had the most impact. “All these years later I get a call that Carlton Cuse and Guillermo del Toro want to meet with me. Thank God for Carlton Cuse,” Durand laughs. If not for Keamy, we probably wouldn’t have Durand as the enigmatic exterminator-turned-hero Vasiliy Fet. It’s a good thing he impressed producer Carlton Cuse so much on Lost, seeing as how that led to his current work on The Strain. I loved what they were writing, they loved what I was doing,” Durand says of that role. “I thought it was going to be one episode, and I thought, ‘Well, it would just be nice to go to Hawaii.’ I went out there and we all kind of fell in love. Kevin Durand has made a career out of being “that guy”: the hulking villain, the brawny sidekick, the hired muscle, the badass with a gun.įor many, he’ll probably always be Martin Keamy, one of the many memorable baddies on Lost. He may not be a household name but chances are you’ve seen his face before-especially if you’re a fan of horror or sci-fi. Kevin Durand as Vasiliy Fet in The Strain.
