Of all the things the Cowboy Bebop live-action series could achieve. But it only did one, i.e. keeping the casting of Radical Ed a secret. While Cowboy Bebop, the anime, doesn’t feature the skillful hacker in all of its episodes, as it is a supporting character. But the character leaves a long-lasting impression every time it’s on screen.

Eden’s experience on the Cowboy Bebop sets

Eden got to act with John Cho, which according to Eden, “It was such an amazing experience.” This was Eden’s debut role, and she has got something to brag about. Even though it was a brief stay for Eden, she loved every second. Eden explained, “The sets are so, so coo and at night it’s like a completely different atmosphere.”

Radical Ed’s costume was also a perfect fit for Eden, who felt comfortable in it. Eden had a hard time not messing up her spiky wig, which tempted her to touch it constantly.

Eden’s best Radical Ed moment

Eden recalls her favorite Radical Ed moment from the Cowboy Bebop anime. “When there’s a bounty on the Bebop and he is being very mean to Ein and Ed just comes down, funks him on the head and starts biting him. It’s truly amazing.”

Radical Ed’s high voltage energy is definitely one of her charms, and Eden couldn’t resist the same charm. The prospect of being cast as Radical Ed excited Eden for playing such an amazing character is no simple task.
