Andor's Andy Serkis Reveals His Character's Surprising Backstory

Fans of Star Wars’ sequel trilogy know that Andy Serkis is no stranger to a galaxy far, far away, but with Tony Gilroy’s critically acclaimed series Andor, the beloved performer got to originate a very different type of role. Serkis’ Kino Loy is introduced in Episode 8 of the series when Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) is shipped off to Narkina 5 to work at an Imperial factory facility. While very little has been revealed about the character as of Episode 9, the narrative makes it clear that Kino has been at the factory long enough to be elevated into the position of the foreman of Unit 5-2-D, and with only around 250 days left of his sentence—he’s not looking for anyone to cause trouble that my jeopardize his chance at freedom. During an interview with Collider’s own Steve Weintraub, Serkis revealed that he actually developed his own backstory for the character and his explanation sheds new light on who Kino Loy may have been before he was arrested by the Empire, and it also recontextualizes his interactions with the other prisoners. Before his incarceration, Serkis saw Kino as a shop steward who fought for workers’ rights, which unfortunately caused him to be viewed as a troublemaker. This little piece of insight really transforms the character seen within the series, because he’s very disconnected from the prisoners he orders around. Serkis went on to explain this disconnect, saying: “When he was incarcerated, he then almost sheds any desire to look out for other people apart from himself. Just do his time and get out. To try and get out and just survive the sentence, the torture, the desensitization. I think it was that desensitization that made me perhaps have that slightly lost but kind of hardened and toughened shell.” While Serkis' backstory for Kino may differ from what the show's writers have planned for the character, if he even makes it off of Narkina 5, it is still exciting to learn what motivations were layered into his phenomenal performances in Episode 8 and Episode 9. As he said, Kino has a very hardened and toughened shell, but there are brief glimpses of the man hiding behind that exterior. Serkis has this incredible ability for his words to say one thing, while his eyes reveal the truth of it all, and knowing who Kino may have been before he was locked up adds so much what we've seen of this character thus far. #Andor #AndySerkis #StarWars For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
