It’s not quite as straightforward as one being inherently good and one being inherently evil. And Marvel’s always been such wonderful storytellers in dealing with those subjects. It’s such a fascinating question when you’re talking about good and evil and like how it happens. I was able to suss out a lot more backstory for this character, trying to figure out how it is that he’s able to kill people and be a criminal, and what led him to that, to that place. It’s great to have so many harboring secrets, you know, and not give too much away, which also sets him apart from the slightly more larger than life characters of the TSM.Īnd yeah, our version is certainly different.
There’s a lot simmering underneath the surface, which I love. I certainly was able to extract lots of things about the comic book character his brooding intensity and real sort of distilled mania. I think it’s always interesting to know the character was initially created. Those tracksuits, man, are like working in your jammies, it’s great.Īs you mentioned, the character is from the comic, but he is fairly different here on the show and for you, as an actor, how much value was there in going back and taking a look at his handful appearances in that run of Hawkeye?įee: Whether it’s on stage or screen or whatever, I’m always a big fan of looking at the source material, regardless of whether it manages to manifest itself in the end result. If anything, the coat was sometimes a wee bit restricting. I was thrilled that it was our regular work wear. It’s like working in your pajama bottoms, genuinely. We saw Kazi in a tracksuit in the most recent episode, was it comfortable?įee: They’re extremely comfortable. It also helped whenever we were shooting in New York in minus freezing temperatures. I think that was a nod to that, too, which I was all for. There’s also a very flattering coat in the original genesis of the character from the comic book. That was Kazi’s own decision to stick out from the crowd a little bit. He definitely is higher up in the ranking order the only person that we have seen so far that is higher than him is Maya. I was definitely a fan of because it does set him apart from the rest of the group. Since the rest of the Tracksuits are visually uniform, was it important for Kazi to be differentiated with the hair and the coat, at least in the first couple episodes?įee: Well, I, I grew the hair myself. Certainly, all he really remembers and he is deeply, deeply loyal to them. He’s absolutely one of them, though, they are his brothers in a deeper sense than just camaraderie. But yeah, you’re right, Kazi doesn’t say the term “bro” very much. I’ll be quite happy if I never hear the term “bro” ever again. The actor - known for his work on the Irish, British, and New York stages and in films like Boys From County Hell and Les Misérables - also discussed being the only Tracksuit with a great coat, the difference between acting on stage and acting within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and whether or not the term “Bro” rings in his ears.Įrik Amaya for Rotten Tomatoes: So even though you haven’t said “bro” very often in the show so far, has it become an echo in your life yet?įra Fee: Despairingly so, yes.
“There’s a lot simmering underneath the surface, which I love,” he said of the character.
His connections to TSM in the television series, and Maya ( Alaqua Cox) in particular are new.īut as Fee told us, there is always value in looking at all the available source material. As things develop, it becomes personal as Kazi manages to kill one of Clint’s favorite tenants. In that story, Kazi is outside contractor who works with the Tracksuits (or TSM) to kill Clint and regain control of an apartment building. He is also fairly different from his comic book counterpart, who entered the Marvel Universe in the pages of Matt Fraction and David Aja’s Hawkeye series. As the Tracksuit Mafia lieutenant with great hair, Fra Fee’s Kazi has a distinctive profile on Marvel’s Hawkeye series.
