Adam Savage Talks with The Expanse's Wes Chatham!

We'll be rolling out more but for now, here's all the Expanse videos we've published so far: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtitKU0CAeiFIQUX81qqt4…

Still one of my favorite Amos moments was the "I'm that Guy" from season 3

Whoever cast Wes as Amos deserves a fckn medal. Best casting in the history of television imo. Wes embodies every single ounce of the character and Amos should be recognized as one of the best sci-fi characters that has ever been created

The Expanse is hands down, one of the best shows I've ever watched. On so many levels. The Expanse should be the gold standard for all of TV to follow.

Amos Burton: “You got it, Chrissie.” Chrisjen Avasarala: “Don’t fucking call me that. I’m the acting secretary-general of the United Nations, not your favorite stripper.” Amos spread his hands. “Could be room for both.” Comedy gold right there. Fuckin love amos, no filter is life!!

The scene Amos got punched in is the one where he stares at the guy who hit him and he says "thank you" with a crazy look in his eye.

I'm fascinated by the fact that Wes took "The Churn" and sought out a psychologist to study the Amos character and all the possible scenarios of his development. It just shows you how much he's committed to his craft. No wonder Amos is the favourite character for many fans of the show, whether they've read the books or not.

"i'm free right now" Masterful delivery

Amos is a great example to how well this show is written. At the beginning I thought he was just a one dimensional asshole and I used to hate him. But now he is by far my favorite character and I believe he is one of the more complex and nuanced characters on any show currently on.

Wes Chatham is my favorite person on the show, he's so happy to be doing the role and he cares so much about honoring the character that you can't help but respect him. He's also so genuinely appreciative of the audience, some people just say "oh we love our fans" because they're supposed to but you can tell he really loves his job.

I really think that The Expanse it's an incredible milestone in the cinema/TV show history because not only it's an incredibly well-produced show that explores science as a way of building and solving conflicts, but the cast it's really engaged with it, not only a job but as a cultural phenomenon. They engage with the fans and give their best to bring to life the emotions and drama that each character faces. It's the best scifi show in actuality IMO.

What he has really nailed as an actor is that "calm rage" the character exudes and it comes out in dialog like "…I am that guy" or "…I am free now."

Wow, that's so impressive that Chatham put in so much effort to understand the character, the childhood and even talked with a psychologist to understand how certain childhood trauma would manifest itself in behavior and mannerisms. No wonder he does such an amazing job at portraying the character.

Amos is hands down my favorite character on Expanse. Wes does an exceptional job with the character. I love the whole cold, emotionless robot trying to be human dynamic of Amos. His idgaf as long as it's effective attitude towards situations is a beacon of strength in an emotional story.

Favorite line: "Okay I'm gonna need that gun back."

The Expanse is by far the best science fiction I have ever seen. Fascinating.

I wish Wes Chatam such success. His portrayal of Amos is nuanced and haunting. The characters past is reflected in the performers eyes, whic suggests that Wes let Amos into his soul. For television, that is truly special. I find it noteworthy that the two characters with the most emotional depth in their universe, Camina, and Amos are the two most light hearted and amiable people in real life. Neither Wes Chatam nor Cara Gee are anything like the characters they portray, but they embody them effortlessly. Mr Chatam, you have moved me more than you could possibly imagine. Thank you for bringing Amos to life in such an authentic 3-Dimensional way. You ARE that guy.

I just recently got into The Expanse after repeatedly hearing how good it is. I just finished season 5 and it's a bittersweet feeling to head into the final season. This show is fantastic. It doesn't treat the viewer as an idiot - it doesn't bog down in exposition and lets the viewer figure things out on his or her own. Wes is fantastic in it, of course, and the actor who plays Marco Inaros NAILS that role. Fantastic show and I've told every one of my friends they need to watch it.

Adam is a great interviewer. He asks good questions and and let’s the interviewee talk. Amos is one of my favorite characters and is fascinating to hear Wes Chatham talk about how he brings him to life.

I've been saying since season 1, this show absolutely nails it's props. Everything looks spot on, no cheap repainted everyday objects. All if the logos and symbols are always perfect, everything looks like you could pick it up and use it, or put it on.
