Journey of Scoot McNairy as Walt in Narcos: Mexico

In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, McNairy had said, “It was an advantage to be able to lay down the voiceover and find the cadence and the humor, or the sarcasm, in the character before I actually went down to go play him, as to create that allusion of: Who is telling this story? And, why are we hearing a voice that we’re not seeing?”

Recently, Collider had done an interview on their YouTube channel. Featuring Scoot McNairy and Luis Gerardo Méndez, it focused on the Final Season and their opinions.

McNairy explained, “I did know that I was gonna be the leader of the DEA, in season two of Narcos: Mexico, on the third season I wasn’t sure they’re going to bring me back or not. So, you know, knowing that you know, they sort of pushed Walt’s storyline a little bit further down the road and also gave them a little more closure with something that I was excited about.”
