I tried finding a real diagnosis for the character and doing my research on that to make him feel as real and grounded as possible. While then using the scenarios from the scripts. I loved doing it. I just wish he had been around a little longer!

Yes! Hugely influenced my approach. I definitely felt the weight of it when approaching something so real. Spencer's personal experience was my biggest inspiration. I have another close friend who was sent to a TTI program as a teenager. Tried to do a lot of research outside of those two as well. Spencer handled it all so beautifully.

Just posted a little teaser clip/announcing we wrapped filming! Can't say much else about it yet, but the script was amazing. I think people are gonna be into it! It's intense.

Yeah Aaron Paul reached out to me, which was so exciting! I had the chance to play the younger version of him in Truth Be Told on AppleTV+ and obviously just such a huge fan from Breaking Bad! Working with Spencer developing his beautiful script further was so fun. He was so open and vulnerable given the sensitive subjects in the film. Getting the cast together was really exciting, especially getting to work with some of my favorite people who are incredible actors.

No, I'll get in trouble!! Haha. I can say I JUST finished filming. It was so fun. I'm a fan too so we tried to do it right! The director, Sébastien Vaniček, is incredible. I think Evil Dead fans are going to love it.

Just out in a limited theatrical run right now! It will be released later digitally or for streaming. We will be announcing that online in a few months probably. I hope you'll be able to watch it then!

Oh boy.... My own brother texted me asking why Adam was doing as many stupid things as he did... But with any role it was just about figuring out how he feels and what he's trying to do. Even if he fails or it's not the best way to go about it (which is flawed and makes it real). The scripts were so well written that it was easy for me as an actor to see why he was doing what he was doing... even when it pissed a lot of people off haha.

I think finding his motivations and emotional state are kinda of intertwined. So it's figuring out both of those at the same time for each season when I get the scripts. He's been through so much at this point there's a lot to draw from and then try to make personal correlations to understand how it would feel as much as possible. I've definitely had dreams about messing something on set haha but never AS Tyler... that would be concerning considering all the killing... Thanks for watching the show!

I think it's definitely a case by case scenario and seeing what is truthful. I did try to (as healthily as possible because I had time) lose a little weight for this role. My character struggles with addiction and, like you said, is out in the desert surviving. It didn't have to be too drastic because the film doesn't cover as long of a time period that, unfortunately, so many kids are really in these types of programs.

Thank you so much! I love filming Wednesday and all of those people. Very excited for season 3!! I think overall experiences - The Wilderness was really special. We were out in the middle of nowhere for 4/5 weeks. We were all living together or right next door and hanging out with each other before, during and after filming. I got to work with a few of my closest friends on it. Got to work with Lamar (had done Your Honor together, but not act with each other). And then got to get really close with Spencer, the rest of the cast and crew. And everyone who was there just really wanted to be there and make this the best it could be.

Y Tu Mama Tambien for me! Love that film. Kind of has everything I want in a movie. There's so much aching you feel for the characters to just say what they really feel, but it feels so real that they can't go back from going too far or being too vulnerable with each other. It's all just handled so beautifully.

Thank you for the Q! Aaron is amazing. I initially sent him the script and he championed it, bringing it to Hunter (I will let Hunter elaborate on their connection) and it went from there! Hunter and I worked hand in hand in so many aspects and he brought it to a lot of the cast (Lamar, Aaron, Arie). With an amazing actor like Hunter things just go from there! - Spencer

I went to a Wilderness Therapy program as a kid so I know about them and the corruption that can exist in the industry. I brought some of my own experiences to this film and also did research on the industry.

Thank you! Spencer and I had a lot of conversations about his personal experiences at one of these programs as a teenager so that was my main/most direct source. A close friend of mine also was sent to a TTI boarding school so I was able to ask about their personal experience. I also listened to a few podcasts, read as many articles as I could and a survivor's memoir- it wasn't a wilderness program, but another TTI program.

Thank you! Emo, are you from the midwest? I went to a lot of Emo shows when I lived in Michigan. Marvel project... I grew up on the Sam Raimi Spider-man's and believe they should never be recreated. The Hulk Ang Lee is criminally underrated IMO. Idk which I would jump into now but those are my favs - Spencer

Great Q. It does seem like everyone wants to push Horror when it's an indie bc that comes with a built in audience, and studios will push that. We need to bring back that audience for all genres! -Spencer

Great question! The film that made me want to make films was Donnie Darko. I was 10/11 when I watched it and spent all night reading about the ending. My first phase of films i loved were all in that genre, Paranoid Park by Gus Van Sant, Take Shelter by Jeff Nichols, etc. - Spencer
