Interviews with Sarah Podemski, Trevor Carroll and Gary Farmer about their roles in the third season of SYFY’s popular hit show, ‘Resident Alien’
SYFY’s “Resident Alien” is a SYFY Network show that follows a crash-landed alien named Harry (Alan Tudyk) on a secret mission to kill all humans. It is not a place you’d expect to have accurate Native American representation, but hats off to the SYFY Network, which has done just that.
How does the show do it?
In a series of video interviews, Native actors Sarah Podemski (Anishinaabe and Ashkenazi), Trevor Carroll (Ojibway), and Gary Farmer (Cayuga, Wolf Clan) talk about their prospective roles in the series.
