“Wallace was an innocent victim, but in a sense, so were Bodie and Poot.”
remains really, really hard to watch, all these years later. We the viewers aren’t cheering for the death or rooting the soldiers on, and every character in the scene is clearly miserable. As it was one of the first deaths of a primary character on the series, did you make a conscious decision to portray that killing in a certain way?That first thing I ask myself when writing a scene is, who are these characters? All of them were boys. They had grown up together.
Wallace was an innocent victim, but in a sense, so were Bodie and Poot. In the straight world, if you’re offered a promotion and you turn it down, that is the end of your ascent in the company. It is the same in the underworld. Bodie and Poot didn’t have a choice, so they murdered their friend, but I wasn’t going to portray it as easy. I knew it would be excruciating for all of them, and I drew out the scene to its breaking point. It helped that we had some terrific actors.
