https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfTcNb104NI What would you say is the power in this show’s particular brand of sci-fi spy fiction? I’ve been a fan of espionage fiction since I was 13. I started reading James Bond, and then as I got older I read more complex stuff, so I was a fan of Le Carré. I was…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoDgvXsmH40 Luke, was it a big advantage getting to spend three seasons building your character before stepping into the marriage spotlight — as opposed to what some of your co-stars went through, being in that spotlight much earlier in the show’s run? LUKE: Well, it is a huge benefit because you get to watch…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAgTxg_Ct2E What was it like the first time you heard Stitch Head — this character you’d been writing for years in the novels — finally voiced to life by Asa Butterfield in this movie? Yeah, that was a bonkers experience. The process of the film had been going on for a long time and…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM9qQDfpPeE Season one ended on a sizable cliffhanger, as Sam pressed Emily about her dark past, and she closed down. Where do we find them this year? SARAH: I think what’s kind of fun about this season is that they never quite shake the reality that there is this deep attraction that they feel…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYSXjfJDNQ What’s it like watching such a deeply personal film with audiences? I didn’t think I would like it. I don’t want people watching me watch my own film. It’s awkward enough. And what I discovered instead was . . . Getting older is funny. I find that I’m very sentimental, and I will…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYuzO15CXDs In your role as the presenter here, do you feel you’re channelling a bit of your old SNL newsman persona – striking a strait-laced tone that’s simultaneously tongue-in-cheek? Oh yes, for sure. The use of the voice and the authoritativeness . . . but also in this show, I connect in that way…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-9rY8Koirw One of the surprising things about this show is its almost irreverent sense of humour. That’s not a quality we’ve come to expect from faith-based programming, which tends to be quite earnest. Would you say that irreverence opens up a new way to engage with an audience, and a novel way of tackling a…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtW1bQKqUbQ Every captain in the Below Deck-verse is different. How would you describe your leadership style? My intention is to always be fair and listen to both sides. Also, I’m direct. I’m not a sugar-coater; I think people respect that part. I do have compassion, so it’s a little mix . . . but…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irkyXKTmY8M&t=1s As dark as life gets for Robbie, he’s also a remarkably upbeat character. Is that an interesting duality to play? I think Robbie’s very positive. In a sense, in and of himself, he’s a very light character. I just think he’s in very dark circumstances. Obviously with Robbie, he’s someone who’s coming from…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk7gVbq7UX4 Was it interesting to play a priest, and try to find the humanity beneath a person who is, literally, holier than thou? Yeah, they’re kind of these figureheads . . . It’s like the actors of the Hollywood Golden Age, where you watch them and you feel like you know them. But once…
