In the same interview, Siegel offered some insight into how the scene went down before the effects kicked in, and how she prepared to deliver that heart wrenching scream. Believe it or not, they did not actually set Zach Gilford ablaze, requiring Siegel to really use her imagination when the moment finally came. Though this ranks pretty high for her most challenging scenes in the series, it's closely followed by the death of Riley. I had to step away from it for a minute because it was really potent.
