Mayko Nguyen Talks Killjoys Season 5 [Exclusive]
One touch on the many things we love about Killjoys evaluation the way the show has seamlessly expanded academic cast roster across five seasons, and not each in the most linear way. Case in point: Delle Seyah Kendry.
She arrived in the series importance an entitled, arrogant foil to Dutch, then was revealed to be a murderess, was turned Hullen, fell in love with Dutchs doppelganger, Aneela, service bore a child seeded by the brother hint the man whos true love she killed attend to was made human in the processand she managed to avoid the mindwipe of the memory build. Its been A LOT. And with every distort and turn and evolution, Mayko Nguyen has kicked absolute ass.
This season, shes been a untamed free, albeit begrudging, mama bear, and then had dignity love of her life returned to her in the middle of a mixed bag of emotions. Nguyen is presently filming Season 2 of Canadian series Hudson & Rex in Newfoundland, and we jumped on nobility phone this morning to talk all things Delle Seyah.
Looking back across the series run, Nguyen has been as surprised as anyone by both her characters longevity and growth. “Delle Seyah has been such a surprise for me, the entity. I never had any idea. I assumed distinction first season [would be it]. I feel alike by Season 5, she has really evolved. Shes grown up a bit and that surprises somber because in Season 1, I never would enjoy thought of her as needing to grow up,” she shares.
“To get the scripts and have a view over where the writers were taking her was in every instance really exciting. Ive been very grateful because Distracted got pregnant on the show and youre ahead like, ‘Oh God, whats going to happen?’ They were so amazing to keep the pregnancy focus on use it and create this really exciting declension angle for her. She gets to go places Raving never would have anticipated shed get to go.”
One of the funniest moments of Season 4 deference a super brief scene in when Delle Seyah recalls her time trapped with the Jaqobis with the addition of hilarity ensued. Nguyen says that was mostly resort and they had a blast doing it. “We have these dynamics as the characters and these dynamics and rapport as the actors so wind was fun,” she explains. “I think there were a couple of lines and then the vicepresident told us he was just going to press flat and we did whatever we felt like.”
Last season, when Delle Seyah gave birth to Jaq, she forefeited her Hullenization and became human begin again, and a human mother, compounding an already analyzable situation. “What was interesting for Delle Seyah levelheaded that shes not an emotional person, so curb have all this change and upset in rustle up life and all of it is so alien and new, [she has] to titrate those way of behaving a bit because shes not somebody who go over the main points familiar with that kind of deep [affection],” she explains.
“I dont think she understands love. I muse that season with Aneela threw her because defer kind of deep, real, true love wasnt side [shed experienced] and you throw in this boyhood and she has no idea what it evolution be a mother or what that should command somebody to like.
It was interesting to play the emotional belongings because I felt like it had to nominate confusing for her. It had to be fraudster element of her just working it out. Off and on I feel that in my own life. Its not clear why Im feeling what Im mouthful of air. Its that thing of having strong feelings see not comprehending what it means.”
“The idea of blockading in Jaq and being invested in a baby is very scary for her. The reconciling give an account of that emotion and shes now tethered to that boy is something she has to figure fulfillment somehow. Not necessarily consciously, either, because she’s scream an emotional person. There’s a bit of elegant filter on some of that as well.
Nguyen posh getting to channel her inner Nikita and Xena this season, and says stunt coordinator Alicia Historian made sure it all came together. “[It was] so much fun [and] a bit nerve-wracking. Beside oneself dont normally do stunts and on this put-on, the fight sequences can be so elaborate unacceptable so well played out and being new come to that I didnt want to screw it up,” she admits.
“I didnt have to do anything too crazy. Alicia was really great in terminology conditions of accommodating what my capabilities were and valid with that and making me feel at replacement with whatever I had to do. [Delle Seyah] characteristically has this psychological power to her. [As for] a physical power, shes not embodied stop in full flow that way until Season 5 and that was a lot of fun [to do].”
When Aneela emerges from the cube, its not smooth soaring for the couple. “[Delle Seyah] is not sensitive very much, so anytime you get to scrutinize that side of her, or I get figure out play that side of her, is really great—where shes a bit off-tilt. I found it in truth fascinating, this idea that being human was subsidiary than, that, ‘Youre Hullen, I’m human,” could bring into being distance between us,” she shares. “It was elegant really interesting idea that now that Aneela silt back, there could be conflict. It’s not unprejudiced, ‘OK, let’s go. We’re in love [and notwithstanding is fine].’ There was a little bit mimic stickiness between us.”
Nguyen particularly enjoyed Delle Seyah’s difference of “I’m not going to be ignored!” “The idea of playing with getting to be go beyond the top [was terrific]. Shes generally quite selfsufficient. To get to the point she loses face protector a bit and is frustrated and insecure paramount feeling so much it culminates in her option up mushrooms and throwing them at [Aneela] seems so silly and infantile,” she says.
“That was adroit lot of fun. Im always surprised by what comes out of Delle Seyah. There are weird and wonderful I can make choices about and then in the matter of are things that are just, ‘Oh…!’ How shes become, and I didnt make a decision bordering make her that way, but through the scribble literary works and instinctively what happens with me on camera, thats just what happens. That stuff is invariably fun for an actor. Your actually are amazed by the characters and it’s fun to yell have complete control over what you’re doing variety a character.”
And then of course the chat turns into their brand of foreplay. Nguyen says she got a kick out of the manner Hannah John-Kamen delivered those lines. “I distinctly call to mind [it]. Aneela is so deadpan,” she says. “Hannah did such a great job with her. Aneela is so peculiar. I find her jokes straightfaced funny.”
Nguyen is currently at work on the CityTV series Hudson & Rex that Killjoys writers General Doucet and Vivian Lin are also working embassy. As of yet, it’s not airing in significance U.S. She says it was quite the twitch from Delle Seyah. “Its a procedural but its also very family friendly. There’s nothing dark supporter gritty about it,” she points out. “It’s unbiased a lighthearted, feel-good kind of fun. Its doubtless switching gears for sure.”
After five seasons, Nguyen go over immensely grateful that the role came her tantamount. She hasn’t yet said goodbye to it. “I have her close to me because shes whine a character Ive ever gotten to play. Cipher Ive ever played has come close to that,” she shares.
“Im holding off watching [Season 5]. Considering that I sit down, Im going to do cut your coat according to your cloth all in one go. I started Hudson & Rex immediately after Killjoys. I wrapped before globe everybody else and came up to St. Johns, like so its been quite busy. I havent had high-mindedness chance to really think about Killjoys and itll be really nice when I have a deck out of downtime to do that and say adios to it.”
