For All Mankind’s Toby Kebbell Hopes Miles Kicked Off a Revolution
“He felt justified, as so often we do because we feel like we’ve been let down.”
A fan of For All Mankind, Kebbell took a meeting with showrunners Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, and came away with the role of season-four character Miles Dale, a former oil-rig worker who travels to Mars as a Helios employee and finds the planet far less hospitable to the working class than expected. As a representative of the growing frustrations of Earth’s proletariat toward the governments who have parceled out space for their own interests, Miles accepts a two-year contract for what he believes is a high-paying gig working with fuels at the Happy Valley base. Over his 20-year career playing characters like John Wilkes Booth in Robert Redford’s The Conspirator, an ecoterrorist doctor in Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling’s The East, and the abused ape-turned-villain Koba in the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy, Kebbell has flourished inhabiting principled believers willing to defend their creed with an unexpected nefariousness.
