Actor Zach Woods can’t stand solving puzzles, telling GamesRadar+ in an interview ahead of the current actors’ strike, "I don’t like mysteries and escape rooms make me want to bang my head against the wall – life is perplexing enough without having to pay someone to confuse you." Now, whilst this usually isn’t exactly strange, Woods is currently starring in the second season of Apple TV Plus’s hit murder mystery show The Afterparty, which is airing weekly on the streaming service. And so, the question is ‘why on Earth then did he sign on to this project?’
After loudly exclaiming "for the money", half-jokingly because at the end of the day Woods has bills to pay too, the actor then explains that The Afterparty is unlike any other television project he’s been a part of: "Often TV roles can be quite reiterative as you are assigned to your lane and stay in it for years. But my character here evolves so much, which I suppose is part of the beauty of it being a miniseries/anthology. You can just burn through these characters, changing them, transforming them, without losing track of the things we loved about them. You gotta smoke them whilst you got them, boys [laughs]!"
