'The Boys' star Karl Urban reveals the “most frustrating day” on season two

In a recent interview with The Playlist, Karl Urban shared filming The Boys season 2 final episode was exhausting. He and Shantel VanSanten, who essayed Becca Butcher, were shooting the latter’s death scene in the first part of the day. But they had to put it on a hold as Aya Cash’s sequences as Stormfront with prosthetic was to complete urgently.

Karl Urban said that to be “perfectly honest,” it was probably one of the “most frustrating” days on The Boys season 2 sets. He explained that it is because they shot some of the sequences in the morning and then they had to stop shooting the beats between Billy and Becca. The makers went to shoot Homeland (Anthony Starr) and Stormfront because the latter was in prosthetic costume, and she’s been in the makeup chair for five hours. The actor asserted that with all the respect to Cash’s comfort and sanity, the priority was to get her in and out of that prosthetic as quickly as possible. And that makeup has a shelf life, he noted.

Karl Urban mentioned that they had shelved the Becca Butcher death scene. And when they finally came back to it, it was the end of the day, they were losing the light and had two takes. The actor said that it was of those instances where he needed to bring his A-game. They had got two shots to get it right. Urban stated that he is just “incredibly grateful” that he had a scene partner of such a “high caliber” in Shantel because they got the performance they needed in a very limited amount of time.
