Since 2019, the sci-fi alternate history series For All Mankind has had one space maverick central to the series, Ed Baldwin, as played by Joel Kinnaman. But now, with Season 5, Ed Baldwin isn’t the Baldwin we’re focused on anymore. It’s 2012 now, and we started with Ed in 1969, so now it's his grandson, Alex Baldwin (Sean Kaufman), who is emerging as the focal point of the show.
As Alex comes into his own in For All Mankind and stumbles upon a secret that changes everything on Mars, Inverse caught up with Kaufman to get a sense of how he managed to step into the daunting legacy of For All Mankind, and the moment he knew he was stepping into bigger shoes.
