The view was stunning. And I was standing there and I just heard this guy standing next to me. And he said, ‘Hey, man, you’re Rand.’ And I looked at him and I was like, ‘Yes.’&quot;</p><p>He added: &quot;It was very funny and weird at the same time because it felt like such a Rand thing to do and the chances that he would see me there at that moment was just — I mean, what a coincidence.&quot;</p><p>The highly anticipated second season shows what happens after Rand learns that he is the &quot;Dragon Reborn,&quot; a forceful entity who can either save the world or break it.</p><p>&quot;The world of &#x27;The Wheel of Time&#x27; is growing,&quot; said Stradowski. &quot;For Rand, it’s completely different because now he knows that he is the Dragon Reborn. He&#x27;s the most powerful Channeler of the world, and how do you deal with that if you know that madness is what&#x27;s coming? So he&#x27;s really trying to control that, and it&#x27;s not a clean road. It&#x27;s definitely messy.&quot;</p><p>Apart from “The Wheel of Time,” the Dutch-Polish actor also stars in the new Sony film “Gran Turismo”.</p><p>Sadowski said he is an actor who sometimes internalizes everything.</p><p>&quot;Sometimes I do take it home, and sometimes I don’t,&quot; he said. &quot;Sometimes I dream about it.&quot;</p><p>He added: &quot;[In] season three, we’re shooting at the moment, I go through as an actor trying to play these very dramatic scenes. It&#x27;s very traumatic for the character, and I myself live through that. Your body can&#x27;t really see and can&#x27;t really tell the difference. So, you got to be mindful about that.&quot;</p><p>“The Wheel of Time” features an ensemble cast that also stars Rosamund Pike and Daniel Henney.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="wheeloftime" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2023/entertainment/09/02/woft_s2_spstatic_charduo_rand_selene_1080x1350_pre_pv_final_en-us_cps_700.jpg"/><figcaption><address style="text-align:left">(Courtesy: Prime Video &quot;The Wheel of Time&quot;)</address></figcaption></figure></div>
