Hugh Dillon – Mayor of Kingstown

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…

The Last Word

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…

Steve Toussaint – House of the Dragon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN2H_sKcmGw On the surface, this Targaryen civil war has “Team Green” clashing with “Team Black.” But there’s also a lot of in-fighting. What is the main threat that could topple each side from within? I think one of the things that could take down Team Black is Daemon [Matt Smith], actually. We can’t always…

Harry Hamlin – In the Kitchen With Harry Hamlin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chWkIrvqPwM You say, right in the first episode, that you’re not a cooking show watcher at all. That’s a unique angle for the host of a cooking show . . . I still haven’t seen a cooking show. They don’t interest me in the least. I can think of a lot of better ways…

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…

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…

Sonequa Martin-Green – Star Trek: Discovery

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fi7ZePgh8k This is the second time you’ve said goodbye to a long-term character – first Sasha on The Walking Dead and now Captain Burnham on Star Trek. How would you compare those two experiences? That’s a really good question. I haven’t spent a ton of time thinking about the similarities between Sasha’s journey and…

Melanie Lynskey – The Tattooist of Auschwitz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWD93s8ZD9g From an adaptation standpoint, it’s quite a unique choice to insert the author herself in the story . . . I think it really allowed the writers to play with a lot of ideas around memory and storytelling — and work with the sort of thing that really did happen, where Lale began…

JP Karliak – X-Men ’97

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv3Ss8o9gGQ This is an atypical sort of “reboot,” given that it’s still set in the 1990s. Why is this the right time to go back to ’97? Is there ever a bad time to go back to the ’90s? [Laughs] I mean, it makes sense for a whole bunch of reasons. One, I think,…

Carla Gugino – The Fall of the House of Usher

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvuAWVzP6wI In recent years, you’ve worked a lot with Mike Flanagan, on the Haunting shows and The Fall of the House of Usher. He has a very unique approach to horror. He never wants to do the “surface” version of anything. He, for whatever reasons, has such a strong connection to this particular genre…
