Evidently, Serkis does not need to be a 25-foot-tall gorilla to have an enormous screen presence. Loy is obviously not the show's main character, but even when sharing the screen with Cassian, he seems to attract the utmost attention through his sharp dialogue and fierce intensity. Not only does Serkis successfully portray Loy's layered emotions as organic, but he manages to steal almost every scene he is in. To the Empire, these prisoners' lives are utterly disposable, and the sinister implications of this are clearly communicated on Serkis' terrified face at the episode's conclusion. After compassionately pleading for Ulaf's life with the prison doctor, Loy learns that nobody really gets out of Narkina 5 when their sentences end.

This surfaces more emotionally at the end of episode nine, when the elderly prisoner, Ulaf suffers a stroke and dies. In episode eight, every time fellow inmates talk about the prison's increased sentences, Loy erupts, showcasing a latent fear of never earning his due freedom. Serkis nevertheless endows him with nuanced empathy and vulnerability. The character is assertive, meticulous, and vaguely mysterious. A prisoner himself, Loy demands high productivity on the floor, fearing that any mishaps or procrastination will interfere with his fast-approaching release date. Loy leads the factory unit where Cassian is forced to work. He first appears in Andor's eighth episode, after an arrested Cassian arrives at the Narkina 5 Imperial Prison Complex. As a character, Loy's background is rather ambiguous. Andor thus breaks the barrier with Kino Loy, giving Serkis the chance to play a complex, emotional, and narratively significant human being without any fancy effects.
