Did surviving the zombie apocalypse help prepare you for the experience of taking on an action icon like Arnold Schwarzenegger for Sabotage? ENOS: Nah, he’s a kitten. He’s not scary. I didn’t find him intimidating. He’s just wonderful. He’s a total team player. He’s sweet and intelligent and self-deprecating. It was great. For whatever reason, I often find myself in a cast of a lot of men. It’s something that I feel comfortable with and enjoy. I was surrounded by all of those awesome guys – Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello and Max Martini. It was these wonderful, big, huge guys and me, and I had a great time David Ayer is a director who’s into really gritty, grounded action. Do you enjoy that kind of grounded physical work? ENOS: I do. I love that kind of work, especially when it’s intelligent. What I think is so interesting about David is that he loves that gritty world, but not simply because of the grit. He’s actually a character director and he’s fascinated by the type of people who aren’t action stars. That’s their actual life. There are people who spend their lives working in these kinds of worlds, who are SWAT team leaders, going into these cartel houses. He’s fascinated by what happens to people’s lives when they spend their time in that kind of darkness. The cops in End of Watch just walk into hell every day, and what happens to them? And that’s super interesting to me. It’s this action world, but it’s grounded in the reality of people’s lives and hearts and personalities. It’s really exciting storytelling for me collider/mireille-enos-world-war-z-abotage-interview/
