NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Brotherhood, Zero Dark Thirty and Oppenheimer actor Jason Clarke says he was drawn to the sense of adventure at the heart of his new Alaska-set, Apple TV+ series, The Last Frontier.
"There was always something going on," Clarke, 56, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"There were no weak little scenes in between," the Australian actor said, noting how the first episode alone includes a moose in the road, an aviation disaster, a brawl and a fatal stabbing.
"I liked that. It was non-stop," he added. "I felt like every day was going to be a challenge on this. Every day was going to be exciting and there was a big action component to it, which I thought, 'I love to watch those sequences, and I love to do them.'"
The series casts Clarke as Frank, a U.S. Marshal whose quiet life is upended when a plane filled with dangerous criminals crashes into snowy mountains under his jurisdiction.
