American sci-fi series See starring Jason Momoa may have wrapped up in 2022 with its third and final season on Apple TV+, however, some fans are wondering if there could be more from the drama.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk British actor, writer and director Adam Morse, who played Witchfinder Frye in See, addressed the future of the show and his hopes for any possible spin-offs.
The star said: “You’re asking the wrong person, those guys at Apple did an amazing job on that show.
“I think it’s one of the most original TV shows of all time. It’s just that unique and incomparable to any other series out there, I think.”
He continued: “But look, there are other stories out there that I think can be told around that subject and dealing with those things.
“When they call, I’ll be ready to go back and work with them again because they were a really brilliant company, that studio are doing really amazing work.”
The star paid tribute to Game of Thrones and Aquaman star Momoa: “For Jason, he is for sure a trailblazer for all action performers and stunt performers because he is seemingly someone who has no fear and just does everything on screen.
“I know he’s got his guy who he works with on choreography, who is ready to step in, but I’m pretty sure Jason has done almost everything himself on the screen and it’s a really action-packed show and people are putting their bodies on the line and I’ve got a lot of respect from him as a performer but also as an environmentalist because he cares a lot about the planet and sustainability.”
Morse too did his own stunts while working on See with the New York Post even billing him as the world’s first blind action star.
Never one to rest on his laurels, multi-hyphenate Morse has been working on other projects including his searing new short film Suppression.
Morse wrote the tense psychological thriller while his partner and Ukrainian filmmaker Julia Varvara directed the project during the coronavirus pandemic.
Suppression follows psychologist John Burns, who is tasked with assessing prisoner Max (played by Morse) mindset after he commits a heinous crime.
John must determine whether the inmate’s ravings about working for a higher power are simply delusional and he is truly evil.
However, during his interactions with Max, John learns more about himself than he could have imagined.
The star is also hoping to break boundaries and in Suppression played a fully sighted character.
At the age of 19 he was diagnosed with the incurable mitochondrial disease Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) in 2009, which led to a rapid deterioration of his sight.
The condition caused cells in his optic nerve to die, which has left him with only partial peripheral eyesight.
He said about his role in Suppression and portraying a fully-sighted character: “It wasn’t much of a challenge because I do it everyday in my normal life, faking eye line and hitting my marks and seemingly fitting in to appear fine and just like everyone else.
“So there really wasn’t any challenge whatsoever ever in playing a fully-sighted character and there never is to be honest.”
Morse said he hoped his role would break boundaries for other blind and visually impaired actors like himself.
Moreover, he has launched the charity the Crystal Vision Foundation which aims to supposed members of the disabled and differently abled community to create more inclusion within the entertainment industry.
Suppression will be screened on October 24 during blindness awareness month at the inaugural Little Venice Film Festival in Notting Hill, London.
The movie has already started creating some buzz at the Oscar-qualifying Holly Shorts Film Festival in LA.
Morse said: “We’re actually adapting the short into a feature movie and that wasn’t originally the intention. I’ll be honest, maybe it was in the back of our heads, ‘Thinking, oh this could be a feature film.’
“But after the response we’ve had from audiences and [those who have] connected with the story and had questions and wanted to know more and see more about the characters, that’s obviously pushed us to give the people what they want.”
