FITE: I didn’t really notice until after my fourth or fifth time watching our series. Literally, it took a fan to DM me on Instagram and saying, “did you hear that moment?” And I’m like, “what moment?” I went back to the episode where our characters landed on the beach, we walked over, and I heard the line. I was like, “oh wow.”
It was good because that’s our thing. Dino Fury is a season of firsts. I was like, “let’s do it. We’re here. We’re in this thing!” Very excited about that add-on so much. To the outside world that’s looking and the Ranger fans that appreciate those kind of moments, we’re here to make the fans happy.
In this second half of season two which just dropped on Netflix, both of you had a huge scene where your characters’ home planet is destroyed. Even though you weren’t on set and were just doing voice over, what’s it like to get into the mindset for an intense scene like that?
CURRY: As an actor, I need to find an analogous situation that Russell would go through to have him feel this way. I just brought myself to that place and that was the best I could do. On one level I’m really sad that it was shot with the helmeted suit actor there. Masaaki Nitta, our Red Ranger who was incredible, did such a beautiful job of of expressing that through his body. It’s sort of weird they do what they do and then we get to see it later and match it.
We also have to find the context of what’s happening in the scene and bring it all together. It’s this cool, interesting process that doesn’t happen all the time in other shows. It was one of those things where I said, “I’m going to do the absolute best I can to be as truthful as possible in this moment and hope that it translates the way it needs to.”
FITE: That’s perfectly said, Russell, I don’t think I can add too much to that. But I took that moment to really just soak in, especially going into ADR. How can I make this real? Let’s make this real. That was the whole concept. Me, before you even going into ADR, how can I make this real? I’ll put my best foot forward and I hope everyone watching was able to see that.
