(CNN) - "I was astounded by the recognition of the barracks," said George Takei, recalling his time on the set of "The Terror: Infamy," the second instalment of AMC's now-ongoing horror anthology series. "So we went and chipped a bunch of dishes so that we could have it completely authentic, but that's the luxury of having George Takei." Now he continues to shed light on his experience through the lens of the horror genre, drawing on elements of kaidan, the Japanese ghost story tradition, and Japanese horror movies. "George is probably the most notable living person who has lived through the internment, and he's a working actor in our business," said Woo. 'The Terror: Infamy' premieres on Aug. 12 on AMCThe-CNN-Wire & 2019 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.
