ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Halt and Catch Fireis very different fromVeep.
Katie thinks outside of the box.
Therefore, she is an independent thinker.

Thats her ultimate Amy.
I think Katie is the opposite of that.
Shes very much like, Hey, no rules.
Shes like, Lets see what life brings.
An Ill try anything punch in.
Shes open to people.
Shes a no-judgment zone, whereas Amy is an all-judgment zone.
Is Katies free spirit what attracted you to the role in the first place?Yeah, it is.
Thats definitely something that I was excited to explore.
She even says in her first interview that she only stayed at her last job for a year.
Shes also the other side of the free spirit.
That was more interesting to me whats on the other side of that coin.
Shes not just an employee.
She cares about the direction and her role in it.
I think thats the first time shes ever felt that valuable and that valued.
Over and over, we already kind of know the outcomes.
Oh, thats the algorithm?
We know what happens to the algorithm?
It rides its course.
Also, I literally dont know because I left the show after episode 8.
I actually dont know what ends up going on with Comet and how it meets its fate.
Thats fascinating about life.
Thats one of those things that were always asking about the road not taken.
So we get to explore that.
Since Katie leaves after episode 8, what does that mean for her and Gordon?
In this episode, we get a hint of mutual attraction between the two of them.
What can we expect from that relationship going forward?They dig each other.
Thats apparent from the beginning and we did that on purpose.
No one is reading more into that than they need to, thats for sure.
Their stories continue and shes a part of it.
What do you think attracts her to Gordon?She definitely likes brains.
Hes got a temper.
I always find that so many of the previous seasons are about his ego.
So I think hes just kind of the full package for her.
Shes kind of just rambling and telling her story, and hes paying attention.
That goes a long way, fellas [laughs].
You had to rattle off this list of metal bands.
Was that spiel hard to memorize and internalize?It was a little bit.
First of all, Im an actor.
I can learn lines.
Ive done verse, Ive done six-page monologues.
Theres a way to memorize.
Halt and Catch Fireairs Saturdays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
