Evil star Kurt Fuller shares his thoughts on fan theories and what to expect for the rest of season 4

As a seasoned actor with decades of experience under my belt, I can truly appreciate the unique journey of Kurt Fuller and his character, Dr. Kurt Boggs, on the critically acclaimed show “Evil.” Having worked alongside some of the finest talents in Hollywood, I’ve come to admire Kurt’s dedication and versatility as an actor.

Following the success of Emmy-nominated shows “The Good Wife” and its spin-off “The Good Fight,” created by Michelle and Robert King, fans eagerly anticipated their next project. In 2019, they delivered a new hit: the supernatural horror series “Evil.” Debuting on CBS, it later moved exclusively to Paramount+ streaming service.

In the course of its four-season run, the intriguing show “Evil” explores the unexplained with an unusual team – a forensic psychologist, a Catholic priest, and a tech expert. Together, they delve into events suspected to be supernatural or demonic for the church. Viewers have encountered various bizarre occurrences throughout the series, from angels and demons to ghosts and urban legends. A distinctive trait of “Evil” is leaving the true horror nature ambiguous. Most cases might stem from the supernatural, but logical scientific or psychological explanations also exist.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with “Evil” ever since its debut. However, I was disappointed to learn that Paramount+ decided to cancel the series, which will reportedly conclude this summer following the extended fourth season. But here’s the thing: since Netflix added the show’s earlier seasons, “Evil” has experienced a significant boost in viewership and consistently ranked high on Nielsen streaming charts for weeks, with over 449 million minutes watched across Netflix and Paramount+. Surely this success merits another look from Paramount+ and potentially more seasons? The entire cast is excited to continue the journey, after all!

As we approach the midpoint of the fourth season, we were granted an interview with Kurt Fuller, a long-standing cast member of the series who portrays therapist Dr. Kurt Boggs. Initially, Dr. Kurt functioned as a crucial point of reference for Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers). However, his role has grown substantially since then in unexpected directions.

In our conversation with Fuller, he shares insights about his time on the show, including how the irritating “Alouette” melody sometimes lingered in his mind, and hints at what his character will be up to in upcoming episodes.

Dr. Boggs gets some ‘serious stuff’ to do in the final episodes of season 4

In the course of working on a prolonged series, the writers develop an understanding of how to tailor their scripts based on an actor’s portrayal. While I initially relished playing my character as a rigid therapist, I found joy in the show’s inherent humor. Despite my penchant for comedic roles, there were instances where I was instructed to tone it down. However, they’ve continued to grant me opportunities to explore both humorous and serious aspects of my character. Recently, I have been given some heavy storylines that demand a more serious approach.

Based on my understanding of the given text, I believe that the scripts serve as a foundation for shaping one’s character, while the writers draw inspiration from the actor’s unique interpretation and approach to the role. My own experience resonates with this perspective. At first, I came across as rigid and unyielding, but after working with Kristen, Ben, David, and Sister Andrea, I became entangled in their lives in a profound way. Their stories influenced me deeply, transforming my character and even corrupting Doctor Boggs in the process. The experience was both enlightening and challenging, leaving an indelible mark on my artistic journey.

They let me do the funny, but they also let me do the serious, and in the last four episodes, I have some very serious stuff.

Boggs is a man striving to be virtuous but faced with the allure of vice. He aspires to become an exceptional psychologist, drawing insights from real-life experiences and the complexities of the human mind. However, he has encountered phenomena that defy his understanding and upbringing, causing him to question his perception of reality. His world has been turned upside down, leaving him disoriented yet exhilarated.

Is Dr. Kurt Boggs secretly a prophet?

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed an intriguing pattern concerning Kurt from 1428 ELM. In the past, fans speculated that he might have been in cahoots with the Devil. But recently, I’ve come across theories suggesting he could be a prophet instead. So, what if there’s some truth to these theories? What role do you think Kurt plays in this captivating game?

Based on my understanding of Kurt Fuller’s statement, I believe he is expressing his disagreement with someone who may have labeled a certain character as a prophet. Although Kurt acknowledges that the character has had some impressive moments, he firmly believes that the character does not possess the ability to foretell future events or divine hidden knowledge. Given Kurt’s tone and use of phrases like “huh,” “wow,” and “I get it,” I sense that he may have worked closely with this character or holds a deep appreciation for the show’s narrative, which lends credence to his perspective.

1428 ELM: Maybe people are thinking Supernatural.

KURT FULLER: Oh yeah, you know I was in Supernatural, too, and that was Chuck wasn’t it?

As a gamer, when I watched the TV show that featured the “Alouette” song in episode 1428 of 1428 ELM, I couldn’t help but have it play on loop in my mind. It’s as if the creators wrote the book specifically for me to get this catchy tune stuck in my head!

I’ve had experiences where I found myself humming a tune that was far from pleasant to my ears. It was as if this melody had burrowed its way into my mind and refused to leave, much like a nagging itch that just won’t go away no matter what you do. Despite its unpleasantness, the tune managed to stick with me for days on end. Life can be strange that way.

1428 ELM: They had that other Christmas song in season 1, the Santa Claus one.

KURT FULLER: Another one that was not pleasant, you know, but really obsessive tunes.

As an assistant helping you explore ideas, I pondered over the new addition to this season – the mysterious muse character interacting with David and Kristen. Could it be possible for Kurt to be graced with her presence as well?

As a fan of Kurt Fuller’s perspective, I’d put it this way: “Who knows what may transpire? I’m not claiming it to be true or false, but pondering the possibilities isn’t a bad exercise.”

Kurt Fuller could have worked with Katja Herbers for every scene and been happy

In the early stages of “1428 ELM,” you often collaborated with Katja Herbers. However, since Kurt has recently delved into demonic matters, your interactions have expanded to include more of the show’s actors, such as Michael Emerson. How has this enlarged your own role and Kurt’s on the series?

KURT FULLER: Katja is truly an exceptional actress, often overlooked in Hollywood despite her talent. I’ve had the pleasure of working with many renowned actors, and Katja ranks among the best. Her scenes are always a highlight for me. I would have enjoyed collaborating with her on every project.

In every performance, she outshone me with her skill; it’s as if she wasn’t acting at all. The exception being “Ray,” where Jamie Foxx brought Ray Charles to life so vividly, I felt immersed in the character, forgetting about the cameras and the actor behind them.

What can I say? I’ve never had a bad day on set on this show.

When working with Katja once more, I find myself forgetting about the cameras. I typically struggle to cry convincingly on set. However, Katja’s exceptional performances make me fight back my emotions as it’s inappropriate. Yet, I become fully engrossed. If only I could continue working with her, it would be perfect. Fortunately, everyone else delivers such strong performances that finding a weak link in this production proves to be an impossible task.

1428 ELM: The guest actors have been great, too, especially this season.

As a huge fan of “The Kings’ shows,” I’m consistently left in awe of the brilliant castings. It’s simply amazing how we manage to secure such talented individuals for our productions. The casting director truly outdoes themselves with each and every role. I’ve never had a single disappointing day on set during my work on this show.

Goat/Devil therapist vs. Dr. Kurt Boggs

As someone who has had my fair share of therapy sessions over the years, I must admit that the idea of a goat therapist piques my curiosity! While Dr. Kurt Boggs, with his extensive education and professional background, would undoubtedly provide valuable insight and guidance based on psychological principles, there’s something uniquely intriguing about the goat therapist approach.

KURT FULLER: [Laughs] Well, I think the goat therapist would be a lot more fun than Kurt. But I think that if I want to get better, I’m not saying that Kurt could make me better, but I’d have a better chance. I’ll go with—come on, I can’t go against myself! I’d go see Kurt Boggs.

1428 ELM: That’d be a fun scene to play.

KURT FULLER: Yes it would, and it could happen in this show, couldn’t it? We need another season.

1428 ELM: Exactly. Listen up, Netflix.
