Season 4, Episode 2: Interview with Award-Winning Actor Robert Maillet (The Master) from “The Strain”

Such a wonderful interview, talking to The Master! It’s great seeing a villain’s face outside their character’s persona, especially when it’s an old strigoi that stands over seven feet tall. Robert Maillet has to be one of the most talented actors I know, leaving his thriving career as a professional wrestler to become an actor and to star in mega blockbuster movies such as 300, Sherlock Holmes, Pacific Rim, Deadpool 2, and The Immortals. He spoke about the makeup process for transitioning into The Master, some behind the scenes secrets, and what life was like on the set. I would definitely have to say that he nailed the role as The Master, and he is most definitely my favorite rendition. This gentle giant can take on any role that is given to him; Guillermo del Toro has certainly placed his trust in him, enough to have Robert come back to play roles in multiple movies written/directed by Guillermo. Although Robert is not acting at the moment, be sure to check him out in the movies mentioned above. This man is definitely the embodiment of talent!
