This week, Michael Malarkey talks playing Enzo…

I feel like Enzo has gone through so many shifts and changes.
Ive had the opportunity to play really high highs and really low lows.
Its been a super fun character to play.
I almost left the show in season 5.
It just felt right to stay, and its been immensely rewarding.
Ever since that happened, the characters grown so much.
Enzo is the closest to James Bond that Ive gotten so far.
I suppose Ill miss being Bond-ish.
It was my first major role doing a British accent, as well, which was a real treat.
I really enjoyed that arc and got some really meaty scenes in that.
That was definitely a highlight for me.
This show has put me on the map.
I hadnt worked in the states until Id done this show.
Its given me an amazing platform for everything else Im going to be doing in the future.
The fans of this show are so diehard.
They support everything we do, the ones that are really truly our fans.
