Now Playing: The Veil - Exclusive Clip
The counterpart Peterson is forced to work with is Amar, and the two of them have very different personalities. "[Amar] is strictly professional," Benssalah explained. "His job is his life. He's at the center of a major international investigation, but he's not on the ground. He is stuck in the office. So he feels powerless because [he] can't be out there with Imogen. He knows he and Imogen have a complex, romantic, and professional relationship. When we meet the character, we can see that he is ready to explode. This is a tricky, dangerous mission. And also the fact that he's forced to to work with the CIA, and he doesn't really like their representative, Max Peterson. Nothing goes the way he wanted. He is already nervous."
While The Veil is a serious look at the world of espionage and spying, there is a bit of real-life levity within the series. You can see this in the clip above, which features Peterson and Amar's first meeting. However, this encounter promptly turns into a fight over a cell phone in the middle of an airport. "It's a crazy thing happening just in front of his eyes," said Benssalah. "They are just not professional at all, so it's a big surprise to Amar."
The same can't be said for Peterson, Charles explained. "[Creator] Steven Knight is putting in the idea that these guys are all like big kids, and it resorts to schoolyard fighting very quickly. I don't know how accurate it is, but it was fun to play. And I think that dynamic allowed some freedom to be able to go a little silly with it at times because I think it's grounded in as much of reality as you can."
The FX series The Veil airs Tuesdays on Hulu. Episode 1 and 2 both launch on the streaming service on April 30.
