‘How to Get Away with Murder’ Actor Talks Shocking Death

In a recent interview, Alfred Enoch opens up about his character’s fate and he reveals he kind of felt the end was coming for Wes before it was confirmed.

Here’s an excerpt of his interview with Variety:

When did you find out that you would be killed off?

Pete [Nowalk] told me around the seventh episode, so about a month and a half ago. I got a call from his assistant being like, “Hey can you come and talk to Pete?” And I was like, “This is it.” We were all in this state of uncertainty and nervous excitement. We were all anxious to find out. He told me and I went back and told everyone else — I told Pete that I’ve got to tell everyone else and he was like, “Of course you do.” We had time to let the shock set in.

What was your reaction? Did you have any theories that it would be Wes, or were you completely shocked?

In the couple of days leading up to it, I thought it could be Wes. Wes would be a good person to kill because it would be surprising, but also opens up the stories in many ways and affects so many characters. So I had kind of thought it could be him, but then Aja [Naomi King] gave me a bunch of reasons why it couldn’t be Wes and she steered me away.

Did things change on set, once everyone found out you were being killed off?

It’s something that we’ve been dealing with awhile and known for about a month and a half, and it’s something we had to deal with first season when Rebecca died. It’s a difficult thing to lose one in the family.

Pete Nowalk told Variety that Wes will still be in the back-half of the season, since the big mystery will be all about who killed Wes. Do you know how much we will see you?

I don’t know. I just know I’m going to be in it. How exactly that will pan out and how much of the story is onward from the night of the fire and how much is backward from what happened that night is episode-to-episode. With each script, I’m just surprised episode-to-episode with what happens.

  1. I can’t believe they killed him off. The show was centered around him and Annalise. I don’t know if it will be the same now.

  2. Why couldn’t they get rid of conner’s boyfriend. Hes annoying and serves no purpose but to whine and be dirty
