Mother's Milk actor Laz Alonso recalls change of script he demanded ahead of The Boys season 5

The Boys star Laz Alonso revealed the one line written for his character that he refused to say.

When the characters of The Boys aren't exploding heads, ripping each other in half or walking in on a man recreating The Human Centipede on himself, they're verbally abusing each other with liberal use of explicit language – or 'Oi' and 'C**t' if your name is Billy Butcher.

However, not every piece of dialogue written for the show has been as quotable; fortunately for the cast, it turns out Eric Kripke is pretty open when it comes to constructive feedback on his work.

"[Kripke] had an open-door policy to pitch ideas or to come back and say,' you know, I don't know if that's necessarily appropriate for the character'," Mother's Milk actor Laz Alonso told LADbible ahead of the season five premiere.

The policy proved to be particularly useful for Alonso when he opened up his scripts one day to find a line which he thought was out of character for a no-nonsense guy like MM.

Recalling the moment, Kripke went on to reveal that the line was the creative rhyme: 'I have a crack full of smack when they attack from the back'.

If this one-liner from MM doesn't sound familiar to you, that's because it was axed on Alonso's advice.

"You called me and said, 'I don't wanna say that'," Kripke said. "We ended up cutting that line."

"I didn't think a brother from Harlem would say that," Alonso added.

The Avatar actor isn't the only cast member who praised Kripke's openness to receiving feedback, with co-star Colby Minifie also praising the Supernatural creator for communicating with the cast.

"I would say that if something does go too far and you communicate like too far for your comfort level, you communicate that to Kripke," the Ashley actor noted. "He listens."

However extreme the storylines get, it's all something which Erin Moriarty takes in her stride, with Starlight/Annie January actor joking that The Boys doesn't go far enough for her.

"I am the perfect candidate for someone who works on this show," she added to LADbible. "I love it when things go too far, like, as an audience member that watches other shows and like, I wish things went further, so that's my personal enjoyment."

Calling the blood and violence the 'trademark flavour' of The Boys, she added: "This is one of the reasons why it's so satisfying to work on the show. I love that we go so far. I get a secret selfish satisfaction from it."

Season five of The Boys premieres on Prime Video on 8 April.
