In an exclusive interview, Logan Marshall-Green, the actor portraying Pete "Cal" Calvin in the TV series 'Marshals', opens up about the character's private battle with cancer. Marshall-Green delves into the reasons behind Cal's prolonged silence about his diagnosis, attributing it to the common trait among soldiers of carrying an excessive amount of pain due to pride. He emphasizes the importance of teaching soldiers how to cope with their experiences post-service, a topic he believes is often overlooked.
The actor also discusses Cal's complex relationships, particularly with his daughter, Maddie, and his confidante, Belle Skinner. He explains how Cal's desire to reconnect with Maddie led him to Montana, and how his relationship with Belle, marked by a drunken kiss, adds another layer of emotional depth to the character.
Marshall-Green shares his thoughts on Cal's leadership and his handling of Garrett's situation, as well as his own personal experiences with cancer, drawing parallels to Cal's struggle. He highlights the importance of a supportive team and the need for Cal to allow his team to help him in his battle against cancer.
The interview concludes with a teaser for the season finale, hinting at the involvement of Cal's and Kayce's families in the unfolding drama. Marshall-Green leaves viewers with the promise of more revelations and a deeper exploration of the characters' journeys in the upcoming season.
