Craig Robinson, Dan Goor, Stephanie Nogueras And More On Peacock's 'Killing It,' And Of Course, Those Snakes

Craig Robinson is getting his shine in Peacock’s latest comedy series, Killing It. Robinson stars as Craig Foster, a man down on his luck fighting through a world filled with class and capitalism while on a quest to achieve the American dream. There’s also a lot of snake hunting in the series, something Robinson told Shadow and Act he’d never do in real life. Aside from the snakes, the show introduces characters that haven’t been featured as part of a prominent storyline on a show before.

One of those characters is Camille, the deaf ex-wife of Foster played by Switched at Birth star Stephanie Nogueras. Unlike in many big projects, the producers of Killing It wanted Camille’s character to be true to life, so they hired a deaf actress as the star. The show also stars Claudia O’Doherty, Rell Battle and Scott MacArthur as Foster’s crew who embark on this journey with him.

It’s been a long and glorious ride for Robinson. But, there’s a reason he has such staying power in Hollywood, and is a fan favorite in all of his projects while also being a director and writer’s dream to work with.

Shadow and Act recently spoke with Robinson, Nogueras, O'Doherty, Battle, MacArthur, Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici.

Robinson says he is very similar to his on-screen character

Nogueras was happy to showcase the beautiful reality of being deaf and functioning in the world

Del Tredici says the idea was simple: create something unlike what’s in the market.
