'How to Get Away With Murder' Star Alfred Enoch on Working With Viola Davis
Enoch plays a major role in the show's upcoming midseason premiere.
— -- Alfred Enoch said it was a “big responsibility” to play the character who shot Annalise Keating, played by Viola Davis, in the fall finale episode of "How to Get Away With Murder."
“I was a little bit concerned about that,” Enoch, who plays Wes Gibbins on the hit show, said today on “Good Morning America.” “Viola is so great on the show. No one is going to like Wes anymore. He better not kill her off.”
Viewers will see the aftermath of the shooting when the midseason premiere of "HTGAWM" airs Thursday night on ABC.
Though the shooting was shocking, Enoch said he understands where his character was coming from.
“She’s a difficult woman,” Enoch said, referring to Keating. “I understand his frustrations. I don’t judge him.”
Enoch sung a different tune when it came to talking about Davis, his on-screen partner.
“It’s fantastic,” he said of working with the Emmy Award-winning actress. “It’s always nice, I think, as an actor, when you get to work with people who work differently, who bring different things to the table and change the way a scene works and can take it in an unexpected direction.”
“She brings so much,” he continued. “There’s so much there to work with that it opens you up and you find things you might not have expected, which is one of the really fun things about the job.”
