Actress Madison Davenport (L) and actor Jesse Garcia arrive at The Paley Center for Media’s PaleyFest 2016 Fall TV Preview of El Rey at The Paley Center for Media on September 9, 2016 in Beverly Hills, California.
After recounting a sequence where Cotrona screwed up a shot where he and Davenport were supposed to have been sprayed with blood (he ducked out of the shot at the last second, leaving Davenport to be the only one sprayed), they got it right the second time and decided to walk to the convenience store across the street (still covered in fake blood), while Rodriguez followed them with a camera. They completely freaked out the clerk, who thought they had just come in from murdering somebody (they later came in and told him it was fake blood). x
MD: “We have a similar process,” says Davenport of her and Cotrona’s approach to their roles. “D.J. and I are not Method actors so we kind of just played it as ourselves, but thought about what our characters had gone through and how that would influence our feelings toward one another. [Seth and Kate] kind of hate each other and love each other at the same time; D.J. and I have the same thing. Sometimes I tell him I’m going to murder him in his sleep, and he says the same to me!”DJ: Madison [Davenport], in my opinion, is the most talented actor on the show. She’s a beast; she’s so good and effortless, so I have a lot of fun and learn a lot from working with her. We both enjoy the fact that we have such different characters.
