Swift2 - Split String to individual characters

Question

I am trying to split a string into individual characters. The string I want to split: let lastName = "Kocsis" so that is returns something like: ["K","o","c","s","i","s"]

So far I have tried:

var name = lastName.componentsSeparatedByString("") This returns the original string
name = lastName.characters.split{$0 == ""}.map(String.init) This gives me an error: Missing argument for parameter #1 in call. So basically it does't accept "" as an argument.
name = Array(lastName) This does't work in Swift2
name = Array(arrayLiteral: lastName) This doesn't do anything.

How should I do this? Is There a simple solution?

Yes, there is a simple solution

let lastName = "Kocsis" let name = Array(lastName.characters)

The creation of a new array is necessary because characters returns String.CharacterView, not [String]
