Shazad Latif – Nautilus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AjVpIqK6U8&t=8s What is it about Twenty Thousand Leagues, and Jules Verne, that keep on resonating 150 years later? I suppose there’s a connection to the natural world as well as a fantastical journey. It’s sci-fi, but it’s grounded in reality . . . He was writing so many years before about these incredible inventions…

The Last Word

Jon Montgomery – Savour the North, The Amazing Race Canada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwP0aF3vLKE The kitchen is a new arena for you. How exactly did this project arise? Well, it’s probably been in the works since I was about eight or nine years old — watching Ben Johnson in Seoul run in those Summer Games. And I’m like, “I’m from that guy’s country!” Becoming consciously aware of…

Danielle Deadwyler – 40 Acres

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajH1DuwITZ8 How does this film defy our expectations for what a“post-apocalyptic thriller” can be? I think 40 Acres becomes something much more organic in its storytelling, and it does so by really digging us into who this family is. We are invested in their fight to stay together. That makes us more heartened to…

Lilly Singh – Battle of the Generations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8gwzVsPvcI This is very much a light, fun game show. But on some level, does it allow for a genuine study of the generational divide that exists in our society? I think so. Of course, at the end of the day, it’s entertainment. We want people to have an easy watch, play along with…

Cobie Smulders – Super Team Canada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxDkjatAGXc As much success as you’ve had in the U.S., how important is it for you to still work on Canadian projects? I love making art. It’s nice to do that in Canada. It’s nice to do that in the States. It’s nice to do that wherever I’m welcome. But Super Team Canada is…

Morgan Kohan & Chad Michael Murray – Sullivan’s Crossing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ox_CyeYH_U How have Maggie and Cal evolved since we first met them? CHAD: Trauma and things that occur in your life create a scar tissue, right? And it takes a while to heal those wounds. I would say that the more time goes by and the more that these two characters enter each other’s…

Jane Seymour – Harry Wild

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1KlAwEGLcM After the career you’ve had, what was it about Harry Wild that lured you in? I can tell you that it was a piece of magic. It was offered to me, and apparently I was the first and only person it was ever offered to. I said yes immediately. I read Harry and…

Josh Holloway – Duster

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih01iblDuHg&t=5s%20 What appealed to you about Jim — and about this show as a whole? He is a fixer for the mafia, 1972. Hey, that’s fun! He loves his job. That’s his family; he has grown up with that mafia family and he’s pretty darn happy until [FBI agent Nina Hayes] comes around and basically…

Gabriel Luna – The Last of Us

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zHPsmXCjB0&t=3s Tommy was introduced in season one — before the outbreak and the ensuing apocalypse — as a war veteran with some serious issues. How did the end of the world ultimately reshape him? He did his time in the service, and took pride in what it means to be a soldier — but…

Josh McDermitt – Suits LA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0KMvx4y2-o What exactly was it that turned the original Suits into such a phenom? That first episode really hooks me — that job interview scene between Mike and Harvey was so compelling and cool. I just liked the dynamics between the characters. I liked the story. The dialogue was great. It was witty, it…
