Foundation Season 2 Promises Fans A Naked Lee Pace, Assassins, & Hard-Hitting Action

Brother Day is the next in a long line of emperor clones set forth by Cleon I as a way to run the Galactic Empire for all time. Lee Pace's version of the Emporer is likable but somehow strikes a perfect balance between charm and a violent surge of anger. Pace told EW that he believes his nude fight scene gives a good peek into who Brother Day is at his core.

"He likes to be hit, and he likes to hit people," the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star said. "It was nice to be able to rehearse the moments where he's feeling confident and enjoying the fight so much. Then he gets hurt, and he's afraid for his life, but he's still got good fight in him. Then he has this unreasonable moment of, 'You can't touch me. I'm the baddest one.' And in that moment of hubris, the knife cuts his chest. So we tried to form a little mini-narrative inside of it. It was like being in a play. We did that fight front to back many times just so we felt as though we understood it before we filmed it."

Pace went on to say that the reaction to his nude fight scene is more about people enjoying the series and having fun with it than it is about him. He said he takes his job of entertaining others seriously and has a lot of fun doing it. He said he hopes viewers have fun with the scene and it is as enjoyable as it is meant to be.
