Kyle Soller talks Syril’s death and fight with Andor in Season 2

Soller revealed in an interview with Collider that he learned about Syril’s death between the first and the second season. Series creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy called him to give him an outline about Syril and Dedra Meero’s (Denise Gough) story arcs. Soller, who previously essayed the role of Alfred Hillinghead in the Netflix series Bodies, elaborated, “He’s [Gilroy] setting it all up. But he waited to tell me. Which is clever and good, rather than thinking about it from the very beginning. So he tells everybody everything, but he knows when to tell everybody everything.”

Andor has meticulously established Syril’s obsession with Andor since Season 1. It all culminated in Season 2 Episode 8 when Syril spots the other man amidst a protest on Ghorman and attacks him. A fistfight ensues that ends with Syril pointing a gun at Andor. The latter asks him who he is. However, before Syril can answer, he is shot dead by Richard Sammel’s Carro Rylanz.

In the above-mentioned interview, Soller noted Syril’s “desire to be known” before stating he would be “forgotten” by history, and not even a footnote would be dedicated to him. “It ultimately captures the many, many, many, many people in history who’ve been forgotten, people who actually did much greater things than Syril, who have been forgotten and never get a second look,” Soller elaborated.

When asked whether Syril would have joined the Rebellion, the actor dubbed the character a “romantic, obsessive, fantasist” before mentioning that Syril would “have just wandered off somewhere.”

Andor Season 2 is currently streaming on Disney+.
