You tweeted that the finale was one of your favorite episodes of the series, and your scene with Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) was your favorite. Tell me what you loved about that.



Michael and I are very close, and our characters came onto the show at the same time. We had been traveling companions within the story.



In the finale, everything had kind of come full circle for these two guys who are basically polar opposites but definitely have the same goals and the same wants and desires for each other. For them to come together, and for Eugene to show the emotion that he showed — because his emotional spectrum is so small — for him to actually hug Abraham when Abraham stuck his hand out to shake his hand, and for Eugene to step up in the way that he did, and for Abraham to not belittle him and not put him down [it was a huge moment].



The bones of that scene are great already, and being able to work with such a great actor like Michael Cudlitz makes me better as an actor. That's why it's my favorite scene, because we were able to share things with each other that I don't think I would've gotten with another actor of the same talent who I maybe wasn't as close with, because we have that bond.
