Walker considers Stahl a Sociopath. She also discusses her new ”Lifetime” pilot.
On June’s motivation
About June, Ally said, “She’s sort of a sociopath; at least that’s how I like to play her.” Ally thinks she’s an opportunist and “a great little actress.” While she believes that June was at least initially working for the right outcome, now her ego has gotten in the way. Ally said that June’s attitude is “I’m going to beat you at your own game” and “in her mind, I think she’s always right.” Ally also described June as someone who “flies over all the logical steps to get somewhere.”
In terms of getting close to other characters, Ally said that for June, “there are only those who can do for June and those who can’t.” She doesn’t get attached. Ally said June “didn’t feel for Hale. She thought he was an idiot.” As far as Opie goes, Ally thinks June lost respect for him when he let her go.
When asked if she thought June was jealous of the SAMCRO brotherhood, Ally said that she does because no one has ever had June’s back. She has a “disturbed background” with a bad childhood and so her character is man-made. June has had to become a chameleon.
Ally is obviously having a great time playing June, and she said that she’s “trying to keep it real” even as June gets nuttier. She loves June’s fearlessness.
On what scares June
When asked whether June was afraid of retribution from any of the SAMCRO members (Opie, for example) she had wronged, Ally answered no, saying “She’s more afraid she missed a step” because June always has to be right. She added, “June fears smarter people and what she can’t see. Of course, her ego has gotten so big she’s not seeing much anymore.”
On June’s sexuality
It wasn’t a surprise to Ally last season that June would have a female lover because she actually shot a scene with a different female lover in season one that didn’t make it to air (it’s on the S1 DVD as a deleted scene). She was initially concerned onky because she didn’t want June’s sexuality to be linked to her evilness, but said that while June probably is gay, “she’s kind of beyond sexuality, anyway” because she is such an opportunist.
Will June Stahl will be back next season?
