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…
The Last Word
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…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM0KU-2oslM Season four saw Sunny lose his partner, Cassie (Nicola Walker), who meant so much to him. Season five was about him grieving and also adjusting to a new partner, Jess (Sinéad Keenan). Are Sunny and Jess any closer in season six to becoming what Sunny and Cassie were? He certainly recognizes that she…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S9jbo_pY2Q As much as you have spooky supernatural elements in this show, is it safe to say you’re just using that as an entry point to explore how the traumas of our youth shape the adults we become? I reckon. I just turned 40 this year and there is a funny thing that happens…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nshrjk9I3b8 You both, no doubt, see a lot of thriller scripts come your way. What was it about Atomic that stood out? SHAZAD: I think it was the amount of stuff we got to do. It was action. It was comedy. It was a buddy movie, a road movie . . . It just…
