At last weekend’s WonderCon convention in Anaheim, California, we spoke a bit with Bob Morley (Bellamy) about what’s coming up for his character on The CW’s The 100.
Tonight’s episode is a big Bellamy episode, as we see flashbacks to his and Octavia’s younger days.
“It was great for Marie [Avgeropoulos] and I, especially to get a better understanding of where we came from,” he says of tonight’s flashback. “The woman who plays my mother was just awesome. But, yeah. To learn the backstory of Bellamy and Octavia and the Blakes’ childhood was the piece that we needed for us to understand where we sat as actors for our characters. As the story progressed, as we were shooting [the episodes], we had known a little bit about their backstory; we had been given some inclination of what happened, and then to actually live it as much as you can, and feel it, really cleared things up for us. But it was awesome. I mean, I got to pretend I was like 16, which was fun! I had to wear a wig.”
Here’s the interview video. Don’t miss a new episode of The 100 tonight at 9 on The CW!
