What was the casting process like for the audio Wolverine, and what kind of weight did Richard Armitage bring to the role?

Baker: We worked with a casting director to find Richard, and part of what makes him so perfect for the character are the qualities that Ben described earlier about Wolverine — his reluctance, the soul inside that’s often overpowered by savageness — Richard understood that at its core. When we wrote to him about the job, he wrote back this really long letter that described everything he was getting from the character after reading the scripts and it just felt like he grasped the vision of Logan. To reference what Ben was saying about Logan being in the shadows in the first season; in the second he’s brought out into the front a lot more. In the very first recording session for the second season, hearing him again in the role felt like coming home. Not only does he bring the character to life, but he adds nuance and layers into the relationships with the various characters in a way that gives [listeners]a sense of Logan’s pain. He’s trying reluctantly to be a good person while insisting that he’s not a hero. That tension plays through the entire series.

Wolverine represents a protector of the mutant community; someone who takes action when the innocent are attacked just for being different, but who perhaps contributes to the general public's fear of mutants. Richard Armitage, who plays Wolverine in the series, explains:
“Every time the word mutant comes up in a pejorative way I get a little kind of flinch. I feel very protective towards them. I don’t think it’s by accident that (this theme) appears in this season. I think there is social relevance to what is going on in the world at the moment. These are people who are desperately in need, and ostracized and rejected by society."
Further, Armitage is none-too-subtle when he discusses the power of villain Jason Wyngarde, better known to comics fans as Mastermind:
“I think the mutant community, in their search for a safe haven, they are tempted into something malevolent by Jason Wyngard. That’s an allegory in and of itself. I’m really fascinated with Jason Wyngard. Just this idea of somebody who can manipulate the mind of somebody to believe something that isn’t true... To me, that’s an allegory for propaganda, let’s just say. I was thinking, 'Wow, what an amazing villain,' and then, realizing… Oh, are we living in that?"
