![]() You know, feeling like you’re walking into this imaginary store that you created to kind of get you in the place for your character every season, so it’s been an incredibly satisfying season 5.Ĭulturess: So, it seems like Amos and ‘Peaches’ are really both struggling with their violent tendencies, which are necessary for survival, especially in a devolving social atmosphere. So, then actually to come and actually shoot in Baltimore, and with all these people, Lydia and Erich, and all these people from my past that I’ve been imagining, it’s really surreal. I imagine in my imagination what Baltimore’s like, what’s Erich’s like, what all these things are like. I read The Churn and The Churn is the foundation that we created Amos off of, like every character off of, and so every season in doing my preparation and getting ready, I go back and read The Churn. How much have you enjoyed showing Amos’s history?Ĭhatham: I remember before we even started season one. And we need : We need his resources, helicopter to get to where we need to go, and also, we need his protection.Ĭulturess: Yeah, I mean I’ve loved your backstory so much this season. The more you hold on to it, the quicker you’re going to die. And Amos realizes right away that this is, you know, this is the Churn, that what you thought you had and what you thought you are, it doesn’t exist anymore. And he has a lot of hard-earned status and respect within this community. ![]() ![]() And then when he came back Erich has now risen to this place of prominence within the underworld, the criminal underworld. Wes Chatham: When Amos and Eric grew up together, there was a dynamic relationship that was established where Amos was kind of the alpha in the relationship, who in a lot of ways was in charge and Erich was the idea man. So, how does this change the dynamic, Amos’s dynamic, with his relationship with Erich? Culturess spoke with actor Wes Chatham about the joys of exploring Amos’ backstory, his struggle with his violent past and tendencies, and flirting with Chrisjen Avasarala (the queen, Shohreh Aghdashloo).Ĭulturess: I saw your reflection on survival skills on Twitter. His change of identity-originally called ‘Timmy’-was further confirmed this season as he met up with his childhood pal, Erich, who’s become a crime kingpin in Baltimore.Īmos Burton/Timmy is a fan favorite and one of the fascinating aspects of this season has been his return to his traumatic roots. ![]() In season 3, we learned that Amos isn’t even his real name, as journalist Monica Stuart discovered after confronting him with the knowledge that someone with the name Amos Burton died on Earth. Throughout The Expanse, Amos has always kept his painful past carefully secret, but revelations have been dropped occasionally to give us clues into the harrowing experiences in Baltimore that transformed Amos into the stoic bad**s that he is today. With the Roci crew separated for season 5, it’s provided the opportunity to explore the backstories of two key crew members: Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper) and Amos. One of the best aspects this season has been the deep dive into Amos Burton’s past, explored in the novella, The Churn. There’s so much to love about the fifth, exemplary season of The Expanse.
