Eric McCormack Loves everything you need with secrets – and it’s just as good, because his new show Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue is full.
The actor, 61, plays Kevin in the new MGM + series which follows nine foreigners who are blocked in a Mexican jungle after surviving a plane crash. But, in a twist of the plot: although they may have been alive after the initial air disaster, the survivors begin to be mysteriously killed one by one while the others run to understand why – and try to avoid the same fate.
Speaking US Weekly,, McCormack admits He likes the mystery and the intrigue involved in the show and his character.
“The important thing about a show like this, but above all the way in which Anthony Horowitz Written this is that everyone has a secret and that we do not see, we are not aware of what it is, “he said about the show, which falls on Sunday, March 2.” They are all mysterious characters for us and to each other. And that’s what I liked. I love everything with secrets.
This is the busiest period of the television year with shows such as Grotesquerie and the perfect couple that launches the fall season. The perfect couple, which is based on the novel of the same name of Elin Hilderbrand, focuses on a wedding weekend in Nantucket which does not go exactly as planned. Most of the details have been […]
He adds: “With Kevin from the start, he clearly has something traumatic in his past which he cannot speak. And he is clearly a doctor, but not really willing to advance this. So why?
While the show can take place in the Mexican jungle, Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue was filmed in the Canary Islands, an archipelago that is part of Spain. McCormack overturns his own secrets The reality of filming in the region.
“It’s a terrible secret to say, but the truth is the island we have drawn, there is no jungle there. It’s volcanic. It is therefore above all a peak studio ”, shares McCormack with We.
He adds: “It’s just that they created this incredible jungle for us.”
Interesting fact, the jungle that the crew created Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue was so realistic that he quickly started to form his own ecosystem, according to McCormack.
“I mean, insects are crawling on us, and I was crying on accessories.” Have you provided insects? ” “, He recalls, before the realization took him from him that he did him himself. “It started to feel more and more real.”

“Before reading the script, it was like, he pulls in the Canary Islands and I said yes,” he admits to We. “And that does not give much to your agents with whom to negotiate.”
In addition to the breathtaking landscape to take advantage of during work, the international location also came with other advantages for McCormack, in particular able to create links with its distribution comrades, which includes David Ajala, Peter Gadiot And Siobhán McSweeney. As they all worked far from their original cities, they dined together almost every evening and trained friendships from the start.

McCormack remembers that the casting fired on the opening scene – which involves a dramatic plane accident – the first day, and it was the day after the anniversary of the distribution Lydia Wilson.
“I think there were two hours in drinks [the night before filming kicked off] And she said, well, it’s the most beautiful way to spend my 40th birthday, ”explains McCormack. “We went:” What? ” Today?’ She said, “Yes, yes, today, but do nothing. So we had to explode that a little and we had a little birthday party, then the next day, we had all day to shout and keep seats and it was a trial by fire. “”
The dramatic plane crash was not the only difficult part with regard to filming Nine bodies in a Mexican morgueHowever. McCormack says that the shooting of the show also came with other challenges.
“There is a scene that was in fact very real where one of the characters falls on the side of a mountain, and I try to hold it,” he said about one of his most delicate scenes to shoot. “And it was a hundred degrees heat, then a lot of shots. It was probably the most difficult. »»
Aside from the physically hard scenes, McCormack teases that there is an emotional scene which implies his character Kevin and find out more about his “agreement” which was also difficult to shoot.
McCormack adds that filming remotely on an island has their characters portray on the “blocked” screen a little more realistic.
“When you are all trapped in a space, a large part of the game takes care of itself somewhere,” he said.
