Wes Chatham doesn't meet the physical description of Amos at all, but he absolutely NAILS the energy of that character.

In Caliban's War, when Amos talks to Naomi briefly about why he wants to find Mei, gives her hints of his background in Baltimore and Holden overhears their conversation. I still get chills reading that part. It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck everytime. It just comes out of nowhere, catches you totally off-guard.

Amos Burton is easily my favorite character from "The Expanse", so surreally well portrayed by Wes Chatham. That character and portrayal are as bad-assed as any I have ever seen...such a complex mixture, capable of sociopathic action, and the cynicism his youth brought him, but yet hanging on to the strength (for instance), to demonstrate his humanity to Prax and Ming. Both the character (as written) and Chatham, in his portrayal are both first rate.

Amos is the best character in a show full of amazing characters. Perfectly cast, too.

One of the best written and best casted characters of all time

Season4 Ep10 Amos: "Thank you" (smiling at Murtry)

Amos is absolutely my favorite character in the show! He's so sociopathic and violent but so likable at the same time.

All of the initial characters grew from what they started out as but Amos grew the most.

I want to make a contrary argument but I really can't. Holden wised up quite a bit, but there's no comparison. My best push would be Clarissa, though she wasn't OG Canterbury crew. The story is largely about family. Alex screwed his up, Naomi got in bed with a psycho, Holden has one if he wanted one, Clarissa lost hers, and Amos never had one. And then they become one, a family. Because family isn't blood, and it isn't friendship. It can be those things as well, but family is different.

I love a little exchange between Amos and Alex Amos: I haven’t felt fear since I was 5 years old. Alex: man I wish I could go through life without feeling Fear. Amos: No, you don’t. Just the underlying message that he says that with is incredible and scary to look into. Going your whole life without that primal “oh s*** ima gonna die here to this now” feeling while seemingly a good thing, is actually not all it’s cracked up to be. I think the think Amos ment to say was that he hasn’t felt a strong emotional response to things in a Very long time due to his upbringing. I just love all the undertones in that statement.

Sylar's Shades and thank you for your response, I never meant to offend, I just wanted to say how I felt about the little exchange.

Amos is a simple man, he loves to kill [ in his free ] time :D Also huge shout out to Wes Chatham for portraying him, he does a brilliant job! :)

Not only because how he describe it in the books partly, but because it's an english phrase ( to kill time ) I found it odd enought to use it. Also there are so many odd references when he stay there still and get a command and all what he interprets is he supposed to kill someone...

..but he's not really a simple man, but a somewhat broken man with a very complicated history. He doesn't enjoy killing, for him, he kills when necessary, just like you'd push someone out of the way of an oncoming car about to hit them. Because it's the right thing to have done.

Amos only kills when he has to and only kills those who need killing. I don't think he enjoys it, but he does what needs to be done. I, for one, wouldn't mind having him watch my back. I would feel safe.

3:02 That scene is powerful. Fear is a natural response. When you lose that ability, you become something else...

If they made a show just with Amos doing Amos stuff i would watch it, with out a doubt a special character.

Amos Burton was one of the best developed characters I've ever seen, and Wes Chatham played him brilliantly. In fact, since I'm looking for something new to watch tonight, I'm heading over to IMDB next to find some of his other work.

Team Amos!! Alway and forever!

Amen to Amazon for bringing this series back from death after uncompetent fools at Syfy closed it...

Old comment, but the deal Syfy had for The Expanse for streaming was terrible and they were effectively in the negative with the show. The agreement meant the Syfy only made money on the original airing of the show, so basically only when it aired on TV in it's normal slot. Any time it was streamed (which was the majority of the time) they saw basically $0.

That bit where Meng described him as my best friend ever was the sweetest thing ..

They also missed when he spaced the film crew. That whole "You're gonna want to put your lid on" with the hand motions... I lol every time.

Honestly one of the best characters in TV history.

Superb writing and acting. One of the best characters in sci-fi ever.

I think Amos and Miller are the best characters in the show. They've always been the ones that seemed the most human to me. Amos in particular has had one of the best character arcs i've seen in a show in a long time. Wouldn't mind the spinoff with him as the main character, maybe with Alex as his sidekick.

Wes Chatham has totally brought Amos to life. So awesome seeing him in a great sci-fi series like The Expanse. Amos has gone through a lot of growth in 5 seasons.

And now I feel the need to rewatch this entire series.

the main reason to bring back the expanse is Amos!!!!!! The goat!!!!!!!!

Never cancel this show. Amos is too good.

"I am that guy" is the best quote from the show.

The most SATISFYING line of that entire season.

"I didn't always work in space." - Best line ever!

"I wish I could go through life without fear." "No, you don't." Man says a lifetime in three words.

Wes Chatham has really grown into the role of Amos. He is doing a great job, as are the writers bringing this show out of the books. THANK YOU AMAZON FOR SAVING THE EXPANSE!!!

Missed my favourite scene at the end of Season 4 where Murtry hit him and he says thanks.

amos burton stepped riiight outta our spacemaster game from '89!

Could have not casted this character better. Honestly one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen. By far the star of the show. Really, Amos, Miller, Murty, and Ashford are all fantastic.

I love how blunt he is - either with his words or his fists.

Where's crazy eye Amos from the final episode on season 4 ? He says "thank you" then... beast mode engaged.

When I read the books, I heard that voice in my head. Truly a series of spot on performances.

You know, in the books, Amos was an older guy and when I saw the guy playing him, I wasn't happy. Never heard of Chatham before this. However, now Chatham IS Amos. What a job he did with that character. Amos was my favorite in the book and is my fav in the series.
