The actor talks playing Adam Strange in superman prequel Krypton.
Shaun Sipos’ track record reeks of death. In fact, death first claimed the actor in Final Destination 2. Those untimely and violent demises continued in Texas Chainsaw 3D, The Vampire Diaries and Dark Matter. So far – touch wood – the Canadian native has managed to avoid any fatality on his current gig, Krypton. Not that he’s been playing it safe.
The TV series finds Sipos portraying Adam Strange, a time traveller who journeys to Krypton’s past to thwart a plot to wipe Superman from existence. Last year, Adam survived dangers like the monstrous Doomsday, the power-hungry Zod, rioting rebels and, worst of all, the Collector of Worlds, Brainiac. But given how the stakes keep escalating in season two, bodily harm again appears inevitable for Sipos. And he wouldn’t have it any other way…
How much of Krypton is Adam’s journey to discovering his inner hero as much as it is for Seg?
I think they parallel one another. The story serves both, and that’s just good writing. A lot of the season is Adam’s journey to finding his true purpose and becoming the hero he’s known to be.
In season two’s altered timeline, Adam realises he’s the Last Man of Earth. How hard does that affect him?
