What I really discovered as an actor -- writing the character of Wilfred – is that he’s just got so much more depth now. In Australia, he was kind of one-note: Angry, dark, moody, belligerent, and I think that reflected the relationship he had with the Adam [Zwar] character. Elijah’s role with Ryan, and when we tested it and saw it on film, it’s like Wilfred is his bodyguard. I really wanted to bring that in [with the FX take]. Even though he’s his saboteur still, he’s also a protector and a guard.
THR: He’s both the angel and the devil sitting on Ryan’s shoulders.
Gann: When we were in preproduction, before we had any publicity shots, someone took a publicity photo from Lord of the Rings of tall Gandalf with his arms around Elijah’s Frodo and they superimposed Wilfred’s head on [Gandalf]. It had this real protective [feel]. I have the picture in my house. It said a lot; it already felt like a new relationship was being born.
I really haven’t even given it a minute’s thought. There was two years break between Season 1 and Season 2 of the Australian series because there wasn’t going to be another one and it came back to the public domain. You empty the well when you write, and you don’t hold anything back.
If you have a great idea, you don’t say, ‘I’ll hold that back.’ Even though we did have a lot of Season 2 stuff, a lot of things would come up and we’d say, ‘That’s fantastic, but it feels like a Season 2 story.” We have a file with those tucked away. You just empty the well and by the time you start again, the well replenishes itself.
This show explores a whole new realm of comedy television. Erie, intelligent, dry, profound, thought-provoking, outrageous, subtle - all intertwined into one overall theme: PERCEPTION IS KEY; open your mind, face your fear, and take risks.
There are multiple levels of perception that come into play. The dynamics between Wilfred and Ryan are simplistic in the eyes of all but Ryan (just a man and a dog), yet complex and unfamiliar (Ryan's very personal and strange experience with hearing/seeing Wilfred's complex thoughts, moods, erratic actions, etc). Such dynamics are carefully orchestrated to depict how one's perception and outlook can truly change or save you. I have not yet seen the (original) Australian version of this show, but I must say - truly ingenious and inventive.
