Bex Taylor-Klaus of The Killing talked with AMC about playing Bullet. My favorite quote:
The first day, we were just starting to get into our characters and figure them out and I remember [director] Ed [Bianchi] saying, “Nope, nope, nope, more masculine. More dude!” And I have honestly never gotten that direction before from anyone. Usually it’s “Less dude, be more feminine.” So that was pretty entertaining.
