Following the release of Alien: Earth\u2019s sixth episode, \u201cThe Fly,\u201d actor Kit Young who portrayed the science ambitious hybrid Isaac\/Tootles spoke to Collider about his work<\/a> on Noah Hawley\u2019s series, working with director Ugla Hauksd\u00f3ttir, the fate of his character and filming the lab scene in the sixth episode. Spoilers follow. Discussing when he knew the fate of his character, Young explained that:<\/p>\n

I knew from the get-go. I knew from the beginning. I don\u2019t think I got to read all the episodes immediately. I just got to initially read the first two. But I knew that it was happening, and I knew it was going to be quite tragic and quite gruesome. I don\u2019t think I knew which creature it was going to be \u2014 obviously, we have the creatures that we know from the Alien franchise, but Noah [Hawley] was creating whole new threats.<\/p>\n

But it was quite early on. It was definitely before we started filming because everybody\u2019s beginning to know each other before we started shooting, and hopefully we\u2019ll start to get along and like each other. People were like, \u201cOh no, it\u2019s gonna be sad when you go.\u201d And then they were kind of all a little bit in denial about the fact that I would go. I was like, \u201cNo, guys, it\u2019s gonna happen. Maybe not this week, but as the weeks go on, we\u2019ll get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

So yeah, I did know, and then it became a thing to kind of psych up towards, because it was really important \u2014 it\u2019s a really well-constructed scene. I wanted to do it justice, because that scene really makes the whole character make sense. I really didn\u2019t want to drop the ball with that one. The director of the episode, Ugla [Hauksd\u00f3ttir], [I] had such a great time working with her and the whole team. They made it look great.<\/p>\n

When asked about filming Isaac\u2019s death, Young talked about his claustrophobic experience having his face cast taken, as well as the mixture of practical and digital methods used to bring the episode\u2019s standout creature sequence to life. Talking more specifically about the creatures, Young elaborated that:<\/p>\n

Most of it was there. The orchid is there in the tank, the sheep is there. Some shots, it was the real sheep, some shots, it was an animatronic one that would also move, so you imagine very little. The nest was there, and then there was a point where someone had a fly on a stick, and they\u2019d scuttle it across the top of the roof, which is silly because it\u2019s not actually completely the exact design that you see in the finished product. There\u2019s a guy in shorts with a back-to-front cap in the room with you, so you\u2019re like, \u201cDon\u2019t look at Steve.\u201d When we actually did the gag for the acid, I was wearing almost this green screen gauntlet that had this tube on the end, which made me look hilarious and silly.<\/p>\n

That bit, the most intense bit, required a bit of actor\u2019s imagination, but testament to the team, there was so much that was really there. It\u2019s also hard to stay in focus because in the next tank over, there are the very famous Alien eggs, and they\u2019ve actually got smoke coming out of them and all this kind of stuff, so I\u2019m getting distracted as a fan, and then being like, \u201cNo, no, no, pay attention and play Isaac.\u201d It was really just the fly in that sequence that wasn\u2019t quite what we see, but most of it is what it is. It was truly tremendous. They just pulled it off.<\/p>\n
