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…
The Last Word
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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. It’s supposed to look like a little jewel box. I always talk about it being a “psychic holiday,” because it’s lighthearted and has a sense of justice…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbC0Q7IzIiM You all had a big scare when Jeremy Renner suffered a nearly fatal accident between seasons. How did that affect your approach to this third season? It is an exceptional season for many reasons — the most obvious being that Jeremy has come back. Both artistically and just as a friend, watching that…
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…
