(Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 1 of HBO’s “Westworld”)
Ed Harris’ “Westworld” character, the Man in Black, was at the center of several of the HBO sci-fi series’ biggest surprises, but the actor himself was initially in the dark about the twists, he tells TheWrap.
The show revealed during its December finale that William (Jimmi Simpson) is the younger version of Harris’ diabolical character, with William’s scenes appearing as flashbacks. As it turns out, Harris was startled when he was casually informed of this on set.
“One of the big surprises was, I saw Jimmi [Simpson] walking by one day — somebody said, ‘That’s you, [but] younger,’” Harris says.
