If you were to lose all recognition of yourself, who would you trust to put the right pieces back together again? That question is the premise of Apple TV+’s newest series Surface. Actor Stephan James, who plays Baden, is the mysterious aid of Sophie— played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw— as she goes on a quest to regain the memories she lost as a result of a tragic accident.
James sat down with EBONY correspondent Jenn Rodriguez to discuss Surface and what went into the process of preparing for the role.
"It was definitely layered. I had in depth conversations of where this character was going to go and what I needed to represent in him. I was able to speak with Narcotics detectives which was incredible to get a gauge of what the reality of a situation like this would look like. It was multifaceted for sure," said James
