‘The Testaments’: Brad Alexander Talks Being the Nick Blaine of ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Spinoff

Actor Alexander portrays Garth in Hulu's The Testaments, a significant departure from the source novel where the character remains in Canada. In the series, Garth serves as one of the Eyes in Gilead.
Born and raised in Gilead, Garth spent his life idolizing commanders, stating he was "100 percent going to be a commander and a great one." His worldview centered entirely on ascending within the regime's hierarchy.
Collaborating with Mayday, Garth works with American rebel forces attempting to bring down Gilead and restore the United States. This involvement positions him directly against the regime he once aspired to serve.
Influenced by Daisy, a girl from Toronto with a rebellious spirit, Garth experienced a moral realization about the regime. He recognized his own privilege while witnessing the suffering of those around him.
Ultimately, Garth remains resentful about Gilead's politics, having realized the truth behind the regime's system. This moral awakening serves as the central push for his character's transformation throughout the series.
