'The Man in the High Castle' Season 3 News: Brennan Brown Talks Show's Relevance; John Hans Tester Joins Cast
With only a few months before "The Man in the High Castle" returns for season 3, actor Brennan Brown recently discussed why the Amazon drama resonates with a lot of viewers.
Brown, who plays the opportunist Robert Childan, recently caught up with Den of Geek to talk about the show's relevance. According to the cast member, he had a chance to get a fan's feedback on the frightening yet eerily relevant theme of the program.
"I was talking to a director ... on [Chicago Med] and she was saying what a fan she was of High Castle and how upset she'd been about the current political situation," Brown shared. "And she said that watching the show provided a lot of comfort for her. And others have come up to me and said that they find it comforting, and that is all that I could ask for — I think all that any of us could ask for," he went on to say.
