In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Perrineau explained why he decided to take on the lead role in From, saying that although he’s not exactly a horror fan, he was compelled by the excellent storytelling of the show: “Those men know how to tell stories, so even though I’m not a horror person, I’m really a story person. I love story. I love the stories in Matrix, I love the story in Lost. I like stories and I like human beings in stories. And, and I know that they know how to do that.”

In an interview with Screen Rant, Bailey talked about the background of his character and how he and his family came to land in the town of no exit: “Yeah. We’re at a literal crossroads in our life and our marriage. We had suffered a family tragedy that would be impossible for any family to ever truly get over the best one could hope for is to heal in some way and forgive and not hold blame for oneself or your partner. And we’re on a last trip that it’s inferred that maybe this is the last trip we’ll ever go on as a family, because we don’t know if we’ll make it.”

So, I’m going to keep an eye open if we have a next season. How do I deal with my teenage daughter. You asked something about my son.”
