Sitting down with Variety, Doherty – who plays Max Wolfe – described his experience as “amazing” and “liberating.” “Obviously my character, Max, is pansexual and for me it’s always amazing when you play a part to see what you can kind of draw from that and what you can compare it with your own life, your own beliefs,” he explained.
The Scottish actor also revealed that the series inspired him to question his upbringing and thoughts surrounding gender and sexuality. “That kind of threw it all up in the air and it was kind of liberating.
It’s been an amazing experience for me, definitely,” he said. Since premiering on 8 July via HBO Max, the series has earned praise from fans due to its queer and racial diversity.
