Even though he (Emile) met his end thanks to Morgan (Lennie James), which should have been a cause for celebration for most Fear the Walking Dead fans, the universe lamented that we couldn’t see more of LaRoux.

Fast forward to 2021, where actor Demetrius Grosse has returned as Josiah LaRoux, the twin brother of the deceased, zombified and beheaded bounty hunter.

In an episode entitled ‘Breathe with Me’ (Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 4), he forms an uneasy alliance with Sarah (Mo Collins) to track down her brother Wendell. In return, he wants to avenge the death of his brother (whose head he carries in a box), by slaying Morgan!

Interview with Fear the Walking Dead actor Demetrius Grosse

The multi-faceted Fear the Walking Dead actor recently spoke to SK Pop about the episode, the universe, and much more. Be warned that spoilers from the show follow. Grosse jokes that he may have been the last person to find out about returning to the show:

Demetrius Grosse does not rule out an appearance on either of the two other shows - The Walking Dead or The Walking Dead: World Beyond either. The actor took a unique approach when it came to portraying the twins on Fear the Walking Dead:

‘Same voice but different energy’ was the mantra Grosse followed while depicting the twins:

He further continued:

So, is Emile inherently a better person than Josiah? Grosse admits that even though he tries to root for all of his characters, in Fear the Walking Dead or otherwise, it was easier to root for Josiah than Emile:

The chemistry between Grosse and fellow Fear the Walking Dead actor Mo Collins, who plays Sarah was indeed something to behold. That said, he doesn’t believe the characters trust each other yet:

Demetrius further explained as follows:

Although he’s been a part of great shows like Lovecraft Country and Westworld, Grosse admits there’s nothing like being a part of Fear the Walking Dead:

As for why we should stay tuned to the show, the actor teases that the rest of Fear The Walking Dead Season 7 will be ’lit’!

Fear the Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/8c on AMC and all episodes are available one week early on AMC+.
