Tim Robbins on ‘Silo’ Shocker & the One Thing He’ll Never Do Again (Exclusive)
Apple TV
Tim Robbins is officially back on “Silo"! “Extra” spoke with Tim about keeping the big secret and what's in store for Season 3.
Last season, his character Bernard was trapped in a deadly fire with Juliette, played by Rebecca Ferguson. She survived but fans were still hoping for his return.
"I survived!" Tim said. "I hope they're really shocked. I've had to keep my mouth shut about it." He laughed, “Everyone’s asking, ‘Oh, what happened? Are you dead?’”
Ferguson found out that her rival was alive when reading the script for episode 4.
She said, “It’s great. It’s like little driplets of excitement when you read it, and it serves such an integral part of the story.”
Bernard is no longer one of the show’s villains after fans discover that he’s been a pawn for some shadowy figures for years.
Tim shared, “The thing I loved most was the opportunity to play a really different Bernard. Not only has he changed physically, but he’s had an entire shit of his worldview. Everything he held sacred, everything he thought was true turns out to be a lie.”
Bernard is trying to piece together the truth of who controlled his actions.
Robbins explained, “His journey is to seek redemption. If you realize that your actions were intended as virtuous, but were actually not because you had been lied to, your liberation lies in acknowledgment of your mistake.”
After such a storied career, the 67-year-old revealed the one thing he’ll never do again.
Tim is saying no to 16 to 18-hour days. “These long hours are inhumane, and I won’t do them anymore.”
“Silo” has given him a different experience. He said, “We didn’t work long hours, so the crew could actually go home and have lives, see their kids, have dinner with their kids, have dates. That’s what’s important.”
"Silo" is streaming on Apple TV.
