A true honor to interview the man behind Murph in the Netflix hit series Narcos. Boyd opened up about what it took to play the role, the DEA training he and Pedro Pascal received to prepare them, shooting on location in Colombia for nine months, and more. Murph even learned something he didn’t know about how Boyd prepared for the role of a lifetime. Plus, we discuss acting in general and what’s happening with the (now-resolved) actor strike.

Boyd just finished working with Harrison Ford in Dial of Destiny and is currently working on a film with Samuel L. Jackson. You won’t believe what he’s doing to prepare for this role.
