In this extended interview (without film clips), SIDEWALKS host Veronica Castro talks to actors Kyle Gallner and Ryan Hurst about their characters (Hasil Farrell and “Lil Foster” Farrell VII, respectively) and performing stunts on the WGN America series “Outsiders.” Plus, they talk about getting into acting and what they like doing off camera, including Hurst teaching Kundalini yoga.
Editor’s Note: Since the interview was conducted, WGN America, surprisingly, cancelled the “Outsiders.” The producers of the program, Sony Pictures Television, has been looking for a new home for the series. On May 2, 2017, executive producer Peter Tolan made the announcement that the program is officially cancelled, as the actors’ contracts have expired and no new home was found.
