Alex Neustaedter is playing Billy Poe on American Rust, a young man who cares too much about others to his detriment.
We had a chance to talk with Alex about his role and joining the stellar cast, including Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney.
If you haven't watched American Rust Season 1 Episode 3 yet, there are some light spoilers. You've been warned!
Since you're the actor bringing him to life, can you give me your perspective on Billy Poe?
So Billy's a former high school football star, and he got offered to play college ball, and he declined that. He turned it down because of how important family is for him.
And I think that's very evident with these small towns outside of Pittsburgh, it's very family-oriented, and everybody knows each other. And he's good-natured at heart. And I think he's very comfortable where he is.
He doesn't want to press his boundaries too far.
