Henry Ian Cusick Talks New The CW Series THE 100, the Fun of Playing a Confused Misanthrope, How LOST Made Him Enjoy Not Knowing What Happens, and More
“On the new CW drama series The 100, a nuclear Armageddon decimated planet Earth, destroying civilization, and the only survivors were the 400 inhabitants of 12 international space stations that were in orbit, at the time. Ninety seven years later, the survivors now number 4,000 and resources are running out on their dying Ark. To protect the survival of the human race, the leaders take ruthless steps to ensure their future, including secretly sending a group of 100 juvenile prisoners to the Earth’s surface to test whether it’s habitable again. The series stars Paige Turco, Isaiah Washington, Henry Ian Cusick, Kelly Hu, Eliza Taylor, Thomas McDonell, Bob Morley, Eli Goree, Marie Avgeropoulos, Christopher Larkin and Devon Bostick.
During this exclusive interview with Collider, actor Henry Ian Cusick (who plays Ark resident Kane) talked about how much fun it is to play a confused misanthrope, why he likes working in TV, what makes this show different, whether we’ll learn more about his mysterious character, how it feels like they’re making two separate shows, with the storyline on the Ark and the one on the ground, and how he likes never really knowing where the story is going.”
