Anson Mount (Cullen Bohannon) spoke about the differences between the seasons: "The big question of this season is why is Cullen Bohannon sticking with the railroad. Why is he here? And hopefully that will be absolutely answered by the finish of the season. I call up for me, information technology's also been nigh opening up different facets of the character. I want to notice the parts of Cullen that are light, that are aware of sense of humor, and that's been a especially exciting thing for me to practice this year."^[three]

Dominique McElligott (Lily Bell) also spoke of the character changes: "When I arrived in Calgary and I read the script, my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe where Lily was.

Mutual (Elam Ferguson) spoke nearly the audience's perception of the American frontier through Elam: "We oasis't seen a character like this from that time period, and I think that was of import. Ane thing that I've actually appreciated about Elam is that he'southward a leader and very intelligent. He cares for people, he's passionate, and has his own dream, and thinks for himself. You know, he'due south a human being existence. And I retrieve that'southward one of the most of import things that people tin can larn from Hell on Wheels and that time period is that people were people. Some of the aforementioned things that we go through now, they experienced."^[5]
