Alycia was interviewed by IGN on Fear The Walking DeadThe 100 and more! Read below or go here.

IGN: With your character, it’s interesting, because of the four core family members, by the end of the first episode, she doesn’t see what they see yet, to the extent of how far this goes. Can you talk about what her perspective is? For any of us, it wouldn’t be easy to process what is happening but how do you think she’s taking this situation as it develops?

Alycia Debnam-Carey: Well yeah, as you said, out of the core four family she’s the only one that hasn’t been exposed to this new situation, this virus. She’s heard talk and conspiracy theories. Obviously stuff’s going around school, word’s spreading but in the first episode and in the trailer I think, there’s that moment where they’re shooting on camera and she’s like, “That’s not real.” She’s still trying to justify everything and that’s the amazing thing about human beings. You’re thrust into an incredible situation and you’re always trying to justify it realistically and logically for yourself and so part of that is the family always trying to protect her. They’ve been through a lot, obviously. As a family, we’ve lost a father and a husband. She’s got a brother that’s wayward and isn’t around much anymore, so she’s kind of been in the dark a lot and this is almost the final push where it’s like we just want to keep at least someone safe and innocent and protected.

In a way then, she’s sort of in a similar position to the audience because as an audience this is a completely different introduction to the world of The Walking Dead. It’s before anything has happened. You don’t really know kind of what symptoms to look for or what happens when people become infected. And so she is in a similar position of the audience in a way of, “I don’t know what’s going on.” Obviously, the audience has the rest of the franchise behind them, but it was hard because they were really hard scenes to film, a lot of them. Because when you have really little information, that whole putting together bits and pieces of what everyone’s telling you, that’s quite hard to actually do in a scene. Because you’re like “Oh, wait, I don’t know that yet, do I!?”

IGN: It’s a six-episode season. Are things going to move pretty quickly in these first episodes as far as where things go?

Debnam-Carey: No, I think you’d be actually surprised that the slow actually takes it’s time to unfold, because we can. We have that luxury of this is a time period that was never explored in the original and so we’re lucky we get to really flesh out these moments and what happens when a society crumbles. But I think it’s amazing how fast a society crumbles too and how quickly people become defensive and people become suspicious of things. At the same time, by the end of this season, we’re still not really at the place where Rick Grimes is, you know?

IGN: While Alicia is the younger sister, because of her older brother’s drug addiction, she has to take a different role than is normal in that dynamic. Is she fed up with it all, while still loving and caring about her brother?

Debnam-Carey: I think they were always close as kids and they had a great relationship and obviously they’ve shared an experience that no one else they know can relate to. They’re siblings and they lost a father. That’s an incredibly traumatic thing to go through and so they have that connection already and I think they are alike in many ways, but I think that situation has taken them on very different paths.

Siblings are often very opposite. Like I know with me and my brother, there are some things that because I do well he’ll do something else very well. You kind of compensate for each other, your flaws and attributes. I think with Alicia and Nick, they do have a good relationship, but it’s obviously very fractured and it’s going to take time to rebuild. I think she’s just heard it so many times – like, “I’m going to get better” or, “Nick’s going to be fine. He’s going to be okay” and it’s like, “Well, no, he’s said this a million times and he’s not getting any better and he’s not changing.” And she is a straight kid and she gets As in school and she’s super smart and she’s got her wits about her, but it means because Nick has gone off, she’s had to be very self-sufficient. She’s had to be in control and that goes against you in some way because you do so well and you want some praise for that but instead Nick gets all the attention because he’s the one that’s screwing up and we have to take care of Nick and it’s all about Nick, so she’s just so ready to get out.

IGN: What’s this whole process been like for you joining the show? You went to Comic-Con for the first time last month, so are you having that, “Wow, we are part of this giant franchise!” feeling?

Debnam-Carey: Comic-Con was something else, that’s for sure. It was weird because I didn’t get to experience it completely. It was very — we were shuttled around a lot and you’re in hotels and you’re in different rooms and you don’t get to see a lot of the fans but then finally when we did and we got to walk around a little bit I was like, “Oh my gosh, there’s this incredible energy about the place and everyone’s in costume” and it makes you feel like that’s why this is all possible and this is why this show is so successful because of these people here. It was so fun. I think I slept like 6 hours because it was just go, go, go. I think it was nice to see too because no one knew who we are, we were kind of a little bit — it was more of an observer point of view for us too in a different way than The Walking Dead can be.

IGN: Next year though…

Debnam-Carey: [Laughs] Next year. That’s what people keep saying!

IGN: Walking Dead is known for its amazing makeup and effects. Have you gotten to see some cool stuff on set?

Debnam-Carey: Oh yeah. It takes its time to unfold but there’s some great stuff for the audience to enjoy, that’s for sure. It’s just a slower burn by Greg [Nicotero], who is in charge of the make up stuff. He’s just phenomenal and it’s genuinely scary too.

Alycia was also interviewed by The Huffington Post! Read the condensed and edited interview below, or go here for the full article!

Did you watch the original “Walking Dead”?

I hadn’t watched it before, but once the [“Fear”] gig arrived, I was like, “I’d better investigate the world a little bit.” And then I became addicted to it, very quickly.

Is that the kind of thing you gravitate to usually?

No, I never thought this post-apocalyptic drama genre was something I was going to fall into, but it turns out, that’s basically all I do now. [laughs] It’s my niche. It’s really fun. But I remember the phone call [about auditioning for “Fear the Walking Dead”]. “I don’t know if that’s really my thing — the zombies, lots of blood and gore. I’m not good with that.”

I’m such a wimp with gore.

Me too, I’ll be covering my eyes. But on set, it is so fun. What “The Walking Dead” and “Fear the Walking Dead” do so well is they bring a very real world to life, it’s very serious, but there’s sort of a campiness about it too. I don’t know if that’s the right word to use.

Theatrical?

It’s theatrical, yes, that’s perfect. Yes. Have you seen it?

I’ve seen the original show and two episodes of “Fear the Walking Dead.”

Oh, I’ve only seen one. What did you think?

Well, I’m not really a horror/zombie fan as such, but I’m a big fan of character development, so I’m interested to see where they take the people and the families they’ve set up.

Yeah, it’s a lot about that, which I think is great. I think you’ll really care about the characters once they start having to make some difficult choices.

Can you talk about where your character goes? It seems like she’s kind of cut off from her family emotionally, because her parents have split up and her brother’s this wayward guy.

She starts in a difficult place, but I think she also starts in a much more hopeful place. She’s a good kid, she does well in school. She’s sort of had to compensate for what [her brother] Nick isn’t good at. They share this huge experience of their father not being around, but Nick’s taken a path that is a lot more destructive.

She’s very invested in moving on and moving out and being the good kid and getting over it. It is hard, because he takes all the attention. There’s nothing worse — I remember being a kid in school and you do all the work, but it’s the kids that don’t do anything and get in trouble that get all the attention. Obviously, she does feel cut off initially from her family, but she’s also decided to make a choice for herself. “I’m going to move on, I’ve got to go, I’ve got this beautiful boyfriend. I’ve got plans.” That’s what makes the apocalypse so hard for her, she’s going to fall hard and fast very quickly. Because [at the start] she’s got hope.

Her dreams were her lifeline to get out of a difficult situation.

Exactly. Now she has nothing.

And she’s stuck with her family.

Yeah, she’s really stuck. Hope turns into hopelessness, and that’s an awful place to be.

I’ll be honest, that’s something I struggle with when it comes to “The Walking Dead.” It can be quite hopeless, and so what’s the endgame? Where does it go? As an actor, do you struggle with that?

I do, and it was really hard, actually. That was the hardest thing, I found, with Alicia. I felt a lot of the other characters, they have a very specific endgame. Frank has an addiction — his goal is to get more drugs. It’s a concrete direction. For Alicia, it’s like, where do you go?

The characters don’t have things put in front of them, they have things taken away.

And they’re left with nothing. And I remember, though, that’s what was so great about Carol’s character in the original series. At first, when I watched that, she was such a hard character to relate to because you didn’t know what she was going to do. She was just stuck. But it was so realistic.

Looking at her journey now — she’s mind-blowing. Where she’s come from — the journey is incredible. And that’s what the writers do so well on this show, as well. They’re very connected to a long-term journey and where you’re going to go. It is one morsel at a time, which I really appreciate. So it was hard, but it is a slow burn, this first season, because we haven’t really gotten to the apocalypse yet. No one really knows the full extent of what’s happened.

I have to ask you about “The 100.” Can you talk about that scene, the one where Lexa tells Clarke that she’s breaking their alliance? What was it like to shoot that scene? Was it one of your more difficult moments on the show? Were you just tired and it was 2 a.m.?

It feels like a lot of that show, it is that — “We’re in the forest and it’s raining and it’s always 3 a.m.” [laughs] But it was a hard day, and we had a lot to cover and there were 100 extras, all with weapons, and it was raining. There were a lot of stunts we had to cover and a lot of positions and parts to that scene.

But that moment, I think, was actually the relief of that whole day for me. It was a huge release. For me as an actor playing that character, it felt very honest, and it was open. And especially for Lexa, too. It’s the first real time you get to see — apart from the kissing — this is a scene where she makes a really strong choice, but you can see that it’s hard for her to do, and she does care. Eliza’s so brilliant and she’s so great to work with and between the two of us, we were just very connected with each other and made sure that that was the strong force of that scene.

Lexa has had to be very contained to protect her people and to also protect her own heart. So the kiss with Clarke was one form of release, but showing that she cared, even in that moment of betrayal — that was like, “OK, finally I can be real.”

Yeah, “This is who I am, I am not really going to change.” She’s very blunt. [laughs]

What can you say about Season 3? How many episodes will you be in?

I can’t say. But I just read the first script, I’m very excited to go up and see everyone.

I’m sure Clarke will be excited to see Lexa. Won’t that be a fun reunion?

Not so much. [laughs] Eliza and I will have a great time, but … I think people will really enjoy it, the way it pans out. There’s a great scene for Lexa’s introduction [in Season 3].

In the first episode back, will Clarke and Lexa have a scene together?

I can’t say. But there’s a great [Lexa] scene in that episode.

Despite the history that Clarke and Lexa had, would Lexa’s people always have come first?

Yes. That’s in her blood. Her people are so close to her, that’s what she’s been groomed to be. She comes from a really harsh culture and she has huge responsibilities. I think she’s very loyal to that. Maybe in a world where Clarke was able to assimilate to their culture as well and become more of a right-hand man, then maybe I think Lexa could — then that would be a merger of two people. But no, I think she’s brutal and she’s a pragmatist, but not out of unkindness. It’s all she’s ever known.

And that’s how she got to where she is.

Exactly. And why she is a good leader, as well, even though people might think she’s ruthless.

I do think “The 100” is one of the most morally interesting shows out there. Psychologically, morally, emotionally, it’s really tough.

Yeah. And they also don’t shy away from showing the effects. Every character is brutally beaten down and affected by the elements and by each other and they really show it. I mean, obviously, they’re all incredibly attractive human beings, but even then, in the makeup trailer, it’s always, “I swear, I’ve had this cut for seven weeks. Can it go away, finally?” “Sorry, no.”

Even the emotionally after-effects, they always show that. The knowledge of what they’ve done, both Clarke and Lexa, is not easy for them.

No. And that’s why you shut off, as well. In Lexa’s case, she becomes emotionally void to a lot of people.

Do you think that could change?

I’m not sure. That’s up to [executive producer] Jason [Rothenberg].

What about the fandom? Whenever I look at what they’re up to on Tumblr and elsewhere, it’s impressive.

It’s incredible. I’m not great with social media — I find it very overwhelming, honestly. But what a great medium to show the passion and talent people have. There’s such creativity. They extend what we’ve made into their own world and I think that’s perfect. Comic-Con was such an amazing experience, too. It was this great landscape of people making their own stuff.

 I wasn’t there this year, but I saw some pictures of Lexa cosplay.

That is so humbling and surreal, it’s an amazing experience. I love it. I’m lucky they put me in such a badass costume and makeup. It’s funny, we did a whole day of tests with that makeup. We were like, “Should we do this? Should we do tears? Should we do the bindi?”

Did you collaborate on it?

Yeah. We were emailing Jason. He had his opinion. We were like, “No, we like this one better.” [laughs]

A bit late for this news, but ICYMI Alycia will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight at 11:35|10:35c on ABC! This is Alycia’s first talk show, so if you can watch and support, please do! Screen caps will be added when available.

In addition, a new interview was released from way back during Comic Con! Interviews, media, and news in general keep popping up all the time. If you have something to share or donate, please don’t hesitate! Go here to to donate what you can. Read some quotes from the new interview below, or go here for the full interview.

Were you a fan of “The Walking Dead” before you were cast in “Fear the Walking Dead?”

Alycia (A): I hadn’t seen it before I got the gig. But then, I thought it was a great excuse to binge-watch three weeks of amazing TV. So I did and then I just fell in love with it. I had to actually stop myself because I started getting like—not confused—but the worlds were colliding a little bit. It was kind of informing many of my (acting) choices. But it’s one of my favorite shows now. We recently had dinner with the cast. I was secretly “fan-girling” inside, like, oh my God, it’s Norman Reedus!

Can you talk about your characters and where they are headed?

A: My character is called Alicia which is also my name, but it’s spelled differently. She is a high achiever, knows where she wants to go in her life and goes through school with frustrating ease. She had to become quite independent and self-sufficient because of the loss of her parent and then a brother who is no longer around—he has his own personal problems.

So she is like, I want to get out of LA and I am done with this city. I got a great boyfriend and I am going to (UC) Berkeley. It’s all going to finally be her life on her own terms. But that’s also what makes this situation so tragic for her … because she has so much to lose. And that fall is going to be very hard and fast.

But she is quite a realist, too. So finding herself thrust in that world when she does come to terms with it—it’s very interesting to see what places she will pull from to get her through all of that.

Do you want it be a mercy kill?

A: No, I want a really fun death. If you are going to go, you go with style. The hard thing is, it’s a great show and you do bond quickly. We have filmed only six episodes and everyone is already like family. I’m thinking, if I didn’t come back to this, I can’t. This is my new little family! But no, every show is doing it, too. No one is really safe anymore.

The FTWD press kit has released Alycia and Alicia’s cast and character bios respectively. Read them below or go here for the press site, or here for the official site.

Alicia Clark
Alycia Debnam-Carey

ALICIA CLARK is a model student who overachieves with frustrating ease. She wants the hell out of Los Angeles, and she has her sights set on graduating and escaping to college where she will be free of her family’s drama. For years, she’s watched her older brother sink deeper into his addiction, and she is close to giving up on him when the apocalypse hits. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her brother’s screw ups. She loves her mother, empathizes, but it’s time to do for herself – time to escape.

Alycia Debnam-Carey
Alicia

Australian actress Alycia Debnam-Carey was recently named one of the “actors to watch” from the Australians in Film trade magazine, as well as one of “10 TV actors to watch” by Variety, and was runner-up in the 2012 Heath Ledger Scholarship, which celebrates Australia’s new young talent.

Debnam-Carey starred in the AMC pilot Galyntine and has held a recurring role on The CW’s The 100. She can also be seen in the New Line/Warner Bros. disaster film Into the Storm, and she played the lead in the independent film Where the Devil Hides for director Christian Christiansen and producer Mickey Lidell. She also is the lead of the upcoming WB Germany feature film Unfriend.

The FTWD press kit also released a Q&A with the cast and producers. You can read through Alycia’s Q&A below, or here.

Who is Alicia?
Alicia Clark is really the stable one in the Clark family. Kim Dickens who plays Madison is essentially the rock of the family, but she’s dealing with her son who’s a heroin addict, and she’s lost a husband and going through her own stuff. So Alicia has really been kind of solitary and self-sufficient for a long time. She’s felt the need to compensate maybe for everyone else’s struggles. She’s a good kid, smart, ready to finish school and get out.

I think the interesting thing with Alicia in this circumstance is that she’s got a plan for her life. She knows where she wants to go; she knows she wants to move and start her own life and feel like her own person. A great deal of the spotlight has been taken from her and focused on Nick because of his addiction, so she wants to break out of that. And people will relate to her because she has a plan for her life that completely falls apart in the face of what begins to happen around her. That’s real life.

What is the family dynamic like for Alicia?
I think she feels very trapped in this city and this family dynamic that’s extreme in many ways. It’s a very modern-day family. You don’t necessarily have what is considered a nuclear family anymore. It’s a single parent family with a missing father figure and a heroin-addicted brother who’s on the loose, so it’s a very broken household, really.

What is the show about?
Fear the Walking Dead is a show about family dynamics in the midst of pre-apocalyptic circumstances, and then what happens when society crumbles and the world falls apart and how people deal with it. I guess what’s different in this one from the original is that it is centered around what happened before, and how it even got to that stage of severity, and what happens when all those structures – electricity, transport, government, medicine and all other fundamentals – just dissipate. That’s a really interesting place to start for this show.

What’s different about Fear from The Walking Dead?
With The Walking Dead, there is a very provincial feel to it because it’s very rural. This one is set in one of the biggest cities in the U.S. – and that makes it scary. If the apocalypse were to happen, it would be unlikely that many people would be able to survive in such a massive city. LA is a great backdrop for this to happen; it’s very urban and relatable for people that way. This show is really all about humans and how they survive and what they do to each other to survive, and that to me is the most amazing psychological journey to witness. People will do whatever it takes to keep their kin safe and themselves safe, and that never gets old.

Describe Alicia’s relationship with her brother, Nick.
They’ve always had a brother/sister bond. Losing their father has sent Nick on a definite and extreme path of drug use, and it’s really broken them apart. I think for Alicia, having the loss of her father, and now losing her brother to drugs, it’s become hard for her to trust people and be open. But at the same time, Nick and Alicia share that loss and no one else knows what that feels like but them, so that also keeps them close in a way.

How does Alicia feel about her mother, Madison?
Temperamental. The relationship between a mother and teenage daughter is always a tumultuous one, but essentially it’s a good one. There is a very strong family unit between Nick, Madison and Alicia, but I think it’s just been so broken by circumstance. It’s hard because Madison has had to focus so much more attention on Nick and his addiction, and so she’s demanded a lot more of Alicia without necessarily knowing it. She’s been putting her own feelings and weight onto Alicia, and Alicia has had to bear the brunt of that a little more than anyone else, perhaps.

How do you think your character will deal with what’s coming?
Like with any character there’s a journey that has to happen. Probably because Alicia has started off being so strong, the decline for her is going to be a lot worse. What’s to come in future episodes is that feeling that nothing will be normal anymore. She can’t rely on anything anymore.

As Alycia puts it, tonight is the premiere of Fear the Walking Dead! The pilot will premiere tonight at 9/8c on AMC! The official Fear the Walking Dead instagram, feartwd, has been posting content updating fans on the show. Make sure to check out the lastest countdown video, one of many that has featured Alycia. In addition, check out the new behind the scenes photo, featuring Alycia and co-stars Elizabeth Rodriguez and Frank Dillane.

 

Listen to @AlyciaJasmin – #FearTWD is premiering TONIGHT at 9|8c.

We take some silly pictures sometimes #frankdillane @alyciajasmin #funhair #FearTWDDayintheLife @theonlyelizabethrodriguez

Alycia also took part in an interview with Elizabeth and Frank for Access Hollywood. She talks about how her friends reacted when she told them she got the part, and it’s hilarious! Watch here!

 

Lastly, another interview with Alycia has surfaced, this one with New York Post. THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW AND IN THE INTERVIEW, SO BE CAUTIOUS. Alycia gets to talk about FTWD and The 100! Read a few quotes below, or check out the whole interview at New York Post.

On how the story should appeal to both fans of the original show and newbies:

“These are very regular people, members of a community with regular jobs. The show becomes much more physical as it goes on, but for now it focuses on the emotional roller coaster — it’s slow in the way a drama is.”

On her potential death (SPOILERS):

Alycia has revealed that she’ll have to learn to work with weapons in the second season, so we know she survives at least until season 2. “I try not to think about it, but if it happens, I hope it’s not from a scratch where you become infected and you just die — I want it to be very dramatic.”

On if she is prepared to handle an apocalypse:

“I handle things as they come pretty well, but I’m definitely not prepared,” Debnam-Carey says with a laugh. “If things got worse, I think Australia is one of the few places that would be safe, so I’d head straight back!”

On her The 100 character vs. her FTWD character:

“They’re both very driven, and very physical roles, but because Lexa calls a lot of the shots, she has a lot of clear-cut choices. Whereas Alicia discovers things as she goes along.”

Alycia also talked to The Wrap. Read below about Alycia’s transition from The 100 to FTWD, her character’s transition into the world of walkers, and more!

Alycia Debnam-Carey on ‘Dramatic Shift’ to ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ From ‘The 100′: I Have No Weapons, No Power!

You came to “Fear the Walking Dead” directly off of “The 100.” What was it like going from that to playing such a normal girl?
It was super weird, it was like “I have no power anymore! No weapons, no power!” But maybe eventually, Alica will be able to have her own kind of power. But yeah, it was a very dramatic shift. I’d never played a character like Lexa before, with such an iconic look and distinct wardrobe, in a different world. I love that sort of sci-fi, fantasy world, so that was a real treat to play. But this is very close to home, and this is all about family dynamics, character relationships, and I also love that. And this world, as normal as it is, is about to get very abnormal, so it’s also a little extreme.

When will we see her start to accept the reality of the situation?
In time, definitely over the season. It’s a slow burn. It’s very different from the original show, where you were thrust into this world immediately. In this, the infected look like regular people, you don’t know what they’re capable of. Everyone thinks it’s drugs, or a phase or something. She’s going to fall hard and fast. She starts off with quite a lot of hope. She’s going to get out of town, she’s got a boyfriend, she’s got a plan. And then very quickly, she’s left with nothing. So that was also very interesting. It becomes her figuring out this world, and it will also coincide with her recognizing her place, within herself, and knowing then, what she’s going to do about it.

In the early episodes Alicia hasn’t had too many zombie encounters yet, but have you gotten to do some stunts with them?
I’ve done some stunts, got some bad bruises too! I can’t say too much, but you’ll see. Everyone got their fair share to do, that’s for sure.

New information regarding Alycia’s The 100 character Lexa, and Clarke has appeared. In addition, an interview Alycia did with FTWD co-star Kim Dickens at San Diego Comic Con has surfaced, and some new information regarding Alycia’s casting has come into light. Read more about it below.

Spoiler Room

Will Lexa and Clarke ever reconcile on The 100? — Timothy
Alycia Debnam-Carey certainly thinks so. “Lexa will make it happen one way or the other,” she says. “It might not be an easy reconciliation, but it’ll happen. If Lexa wants something, it’ll happen.” However, letting Clarke back in her life could be hazardous to Lexa’s health. “She’s opening up a wound again,” Debnam-Carey says, noting that Lexa will have a great entrance in season 3. “What happened last time when she was emotionally available, her lover was killed. It’s a very dangerous position to be in, but at the end of the day, she’s only human and she’ll have that human emotion.”

Countdown to Fear the Walking Dead: Kim Dickens & Alycia Debnam-Carey

Debnam-Carey: So I’m playing Alicia, which is the same character name, spelled differently though. She’s the golden child as Kim said. Frustratingly with ease, she’s succeeded in school, and she’s got a real future all planned out. She’s got a beautiful boyfriend, she’s going to Berkeley. She’s ready to get out of Los Angeles. It’s is a little bit of fractured home, dad’s passed away and brother’s gone off suffering addiction and I think she’s just ready to leave that drama. She’s got high hopes and that’s what makes the destruction of all of this so sad for her because she loses a lot.

Fear the Walking Dead EP on Working to Deliver a Satisfying Spinoff / Prequel

IGN: At the center of the show, you have Cliff and Kim. Can you talk about the casting of Alycia [Debnam-Carey] and Frank, as Kim’s kids? Because this family unit is obviously integral.

Erickson: We got lucky. Alycia had done a pilot for AMC a while ago and she worked with Greg [Nicotero]. We went through the process. They read. Frank was in London. We saw him on tape and he just had a wounded quality I found interesting. Alycia, you talk to her off camera she’s incredibly vivacious and buoyant and she feels like a teenager sometimes and when she’s on screen, she has this poise and this calm and directness and that’s kind of who this character was. Then we flew everybody in for chemistry reads and when they read together for the first time, it was one of those things where there was something there. I believe that they were brother and sister. I believed that they were emotionally invested in each other. It was just going through, having to look at a lot of people. Alycia did get in early because she was someone they liked at AMC.
