Harry Lawtey – Industry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV6BGl2YA04&t=3s The journey that Rob went on in the first episode of season three — a new job, doubting himself, watching his lover die, having an existential crisis, then you end by shouting “I’m a man and I’m relentless!” in front of your co-workers — arguably could’ve been a season-long story arc for your character…

Leenah Robinson & Victoria Gwendoline – Don’t Even

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ4YYaQAcXA Are both Violet and Harley in some state of denial at the start of the show — believing they can hang onto each other even though the world is dragging them in very different directions? LEENAH ROBINSON: I feel like their friendship at the beginning is still very childlike — they’re depending on…

Ben Feldman – Population 11

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tXiPj0DpLg It seems we’re seeing more and more U.S. actors do series in other countries these days, trusting that the show will make its way to an international audience. Yeah, I think Americans are so ethnocentric that it took a global pandemic for them to start watching more shows and go, “Oh, wait. They…

Jon Montgomery – The Amazing Race Canada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiXr2qTnTWw How exactly would you say The Amazing Race Canada stands out from the U.S. and other versions? Well, I think it’s the embodiment of who we are as a people. First of all, the people that are on the show have a decidedly different perspective on the world in which they live. I…

Rob Brydon – My Lady Jane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwFty8yi1cU Would you say that Lord Dudley represents a departure for you? I don’t think I’ve played someone like him before. I tend to get offered nice people. There is a warmth to him, but he is scheming and manipulative, so it was really good fun to play somebody a little bit different and…

Andi Petrillo – 2024 Paris Olympic Games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7rEJ1R4u4k As someone who’s covered several Olympics now, what stands out to you, in a broader sense, about Paris 2024? This is going to be a gender-equal Games, which is really exciting. The IOC [International Olympic Committee] has been working towards this for many years, and now there’s this nice split down the middle.…

Olivia Cooke – House of the Dragon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN2H_sKcmGw&t=25s What new character dimensions has the kick-off of this Targaryen civil war opened up for you to play in season two? It’s created a massive chasm, and I think Alicent feels deeply responsible for it. She knew that by anointing her son, some sort of fallout would follow. I think Aemond killing Lucerys…
