In the Euphoria "unfiltered" segment, you said that there were some of your mannerisms that were incorporated into how McKay was portrayed on screen. When people see me, it's kind of weird now I'm getting called McKay a lot now. We don't any punches and I think that's the great thing about it, we can relate to everyone.
So you got mothers and fathers who are talking, you got teenagers, you got college students, you got older people, you got the LBGTQ that we're talking to. The demographic is so wide, everyone is being targeted. The new supporters that watching it, they're amazing as well.
#CAL AND MCKAY EUPHORIA HOW TO#
People from me, like the fanbase that I already had before Euphoria, is freaking ecstatic, they don't know how to act.
#CAL AND MCKAY EUPHORIA SERIES#
What are your thoughts on how the series is being received so far? People love the show a lot. When I first started watching Euphoria, I knew that I loved what I was seeing, but I didn't know who the audience was going to be and how they were going to react it seems like the people who love the show really love the show. McKay doesn't know how to tell her his feelings, which is why he aggressive takes it out when they're having sex. They just don't know how to communicate with each other. My hope is that we get to see that sit down between Cassie and McKay where just say "Hey, this is how we're feeling, this is where the situation is going". We didn't really get to see them really have that real conversation about what went down that night. It also adds a new dynamic, a new layer to the situation between McKay and Cassie. People just don't know how to respond, really good though-when people don't know, they ask questions. So I could see how people would think that because the editing made it look so dark. It's like, nah, that's just like messing with him, pinning him down, but the way it really looks on TV, it looks really dark. When I first read that in the script, I comfortable at first because I thought it was just too much but he's not harassed in the way that everybody thinks it's a hazing thing, people think he's getting raped or whatever. I felt a little more comfortable being in that position. It's just that \different actors are just comfortable with different things. I've actually worked with him before and he's really good people. What was your mindset when you read that that was where the story of McKay was going to go? First of all, everybody is just very, very different what they are comfortable with, so shout out to Astro. I'm assuming that scene in "The Next Episode" is the reason. I thought that was interesting because I know Astro was going to be in that role, and then he left the series, and there was no real explanation or reasoning behind his departure. People are kind of confused-they don't know what happened, but people are really pulled in, they're really shocked. What was the response like after people saw "The Next Episode"? It was great the response has been crazy. How that situation played out the next day, in the midst of a spicy AF Halloween party, is one of the reasons why Euphoria has become must-watch summer TV.Īfter surviving another wild trek through Euphoria, we recently got to speak to Algee Smith about the episode, his thoughts on the Euphoria Season 2 renewal, and how his life's changed since he became a part of one of 2019's most talked-about series. We not only got to see where McKay's head was at as a small-town football star realizing that his NFL dreams aren't as easy to obtain, but we witnessed his relationship with Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) take a dark turn after he was attacked by a group of guys during an intimate moment between the couple. Featured in that cast is Algee Smith, a rising star who was also a part of two of 2018's more talked-about pop culture moments: BET's The Bobby Brown Story (where he reprised his role as Ralph Tresvant from The New Edition Story) and The Hate U Give, where his character's death was the catalyst for all of the events of the film.ĭuring this week's episode of Euphoria ("The Next Episode"), we got to learn more about the college footballer McKay, the character that Smith (a Michigan native who is also a singer) portrays, and the events of the episode had people talking. Starring Zendaya and produced by A24 and Drake, the series tackles everything from drug abuse to having a whole psychopath walking the halls of your high school, with an intriguing cast of characters navigating the insane world of growing up in a post-9/11, smartphone-addicted America. Without a doubt, the summer of 2019 should be remembered as the summer where HBO's hit series Euphoria dominated your Sunday nights.
