The Last Word

Richard Armitage – Red Eye

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxDrJMrF2rM Between Berlin Station, all of those Harlan Coben shows and now Red Eye, you’ve been doing a lot of series in this genre lately. Have you caught the thriller bug? I feel like I’m up to my neck in crime mysteries, psychological suspense thrillers . . . I’m not complaining. It’s the kind…

Eve Best – House of the Dragon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN2H_sKcmGw&t=20s Talk us through Rhaenys’ last stand in episode four. There are a few near-misses, and she does have chances to fly away and regroup — yet she doesn’t. I think she knows that it’s going to be “suicide” throughout, really . . . The first part of that battle, it feels like she’s…

Lucy Lawless – My Life Is Murder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTOpMHyOzys You’re a few years into My Life Is Murder now. What would you say is the enduring appeal of the premise? It’s a bright, joyful show.

Esther Smith & Rafe Spall – Trying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwDQIpGJsD4 Was that six-year time jump to start season four a big acting challenge? ESTHER: It’s given us an opportunity to explore parenthood with teenagers, and all those hurdles that come up. I’ve only seen it as a positive . . . And obviously, the prosthetics helped [laughs]. RAFE: Yeah, the heavy prosthetics…

Josh Brolin – Outer Range

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UkDdTMZh14 The western genre faded into the background for a few decades, but now, with shows like this and Yellowstone, it’s wildly popular again. Why is that? I don’t know. We dealt with the same thing with No Country. People wanted to shelve that movie so much, but the fact that it was the…

Loot on Apple TV+. Pictured: Maya Rudolph as billionaire Molly Wells.

Maya Rudolph – Loot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TWjRYzwjHI Is it a tough tonal balancing act to have all this absurdist comedy, but also imbue the story with genuine heart — to have us really care about Molly? I think it is, but it’s always been what makes the show the show. It constantly reminds the audience that if you’re on a…
