Clarke Peters often refers to his character, Art Daniels, in the third person when discussing the role. Art is a complex figure – once a radical, now grappling with drugs and searching for spiritual meaning – and this habit reveals how deeply Peters connected with him. Initially, Peters declined the part in The Boroughs after hearing it compared to Stranger Things. He didn’t want to spend years fighting monsters. However, as he read the scripts, he became intrigued by Art’s perspective and his journey into understanding the mysteries of life, something Peters himself could relate to. He felt he could bring authenticity to the character’s dialogue and experiences. The moment he met a crow on set, he knew he was fully committed. He joked that he wouldn’t even mind chasing monsters for the rest of his life.
