Eric McCormack likes everything to do with secrets – and it’s just as good because his new show Nine troops in a Mexican morgue It’s full of them.
The actor, 61, Luan Kevin in the new MgM+ series who follows nine foreigners who are trapped in a Mexican jungle after surviving a plane accident. But in a plot turn: while they may have made it alive after the initial air catastrophe, survivors begin to my mysteriously killed one by one while others compete to understand why – and try to avoid the same fate.
Talking to talk The weeklyMcCormack confesses that he loves the mystery and intrigue involved with his show and character.
“The important thing for a show like this, but especially the way it Anthony Horowitz He wrote this, is that everyone has a secret and we don’t have to see, we are not secretive of what it is, “he says of the show, which falls on Sunday, March 2.” They are all mysterious characters for us and each other. And that’s what I loved very much. I want nothing with secrets. ”
He adds: “With Kevin from the beginning, he has clear something traumatic in his past that he cannot talk about. And he is clearly a doctor, but not really ready to move it forward. So why? “
While the show can be placed in the Mexican jungle, Nine troops in a Mexican morgue It was actually filmed on the Canary Islands, an archipelago that is part of Spain. McCormack pours his secrets for the reality of shooting in the area.
“It’s a terrible secret to say, but the truth is the island we shot, there is no jungle there. It is volcanic. So it is largely a better studio,” divides McCormack with we.
He adds, “just that they created this extraordinary jungle for us to be.”
Interestingly, the crew jungle created for Nine troops in a Mexican morgue It was so realistic that he soon began to form his own ecosystem, according to McCormack.
“I mean, the mistakes are crawling for us, and I was screaming in props going,” Did you offer you mistakes? “” He recalls, before he could dawn on him because he was doing it himself. “It began to feel more and more real.”

“Before I read the script, it was like, he shoots at the Canary Islands and I said yes,” he admits we “And it doesn’t give your agents too much to negotiate with it.”
As well as the stunning landscape to enjoy while at work, the international location came with other McCormack skills, including the possibility of connecting with his castle friends, which includes David Ajala, Peter Gadiot AND Siobhán mcsweeney. Since everyone was working away from their home towns, they ate dinner together almost every night and formed friendships immediately from taking.

McCormack recalls that Cast shot the opening scene – which includes a dramatic clash of the plane – on the first day, and it happened the day after the birthday of the Cast member Lydia Wilson.
“I think there were two hours in the drink (the night before the filming began) and she said, well, this is the most beloved way to spend my 40th birthday,” McCormack says. “We went, ‘seed? Today?’ She said, ‘Yes, yes, today, but do not do anything. So we had to blow it a little and have a little birthday party, and then the next day we had all day to scream and keep in places and it was a test of fire.”
The dramatic crash of the plane was not the only harsh part when it came to film Nine troops in a Mexican morguethough. McCormack says shooting the show came with some other challenges.
“There is a scene that was actually quite true where one of the characters falls on the side of a mountain, and I’m trying to keep them,” he tells one of his most complicated scenes to shoot. “And that was a hundred degree of heat and then many shots. That was probably more challenging.”
In addition to physically difficult scenes, McCormack teases there is an emotional scene that encompasses his character Kevin and learn more about what is his “deal” that was also a difficult to shoot.
McCormack adds that remotely remains on an island portrayed their “blocked” characters on a slightly more realistic screen, however.
“When you are all trapped in a space, many of the acting care about himself somewhere,” he says.
