10 Questions With Fear The Walking Dead Star Kim Dickens

8. What's It Like Working With Intense Actors Like Frank Dillane, Ruben Blades?

They€™re wonderful actors and they€™re very intense on screen, but they€™re very easy to be with and totally loveable off-camera.

I really love the writing and relationship between Madison and her son Nick (Frank Dillane). I think that relationship is something you don€™t really see a lot of in scripted television. It€™s not always pleasant, it€™s flawed and uncomfortable between the junkie addict and the mother who has cut him off at times. I thought it was so well written. It€™s a very intense relationship when there€™s an addict in the family with pain, grief and love, and I thought the writers did a phenomenal job with it.

As far as Ruben€™s character Salazar, I think there€™s a real mystery about him when Madison first meets him. I think very quickly that he sees something in Madison as well. He can talk to her and he sees a survivor in her and I like that unique relationship to play with.
