Enrico Colantoni – English Teacher

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfvKrsaZrEA How does English Teacher stand out in this endless ocean of TV content? It’s really about making fun of all of the divisiveness going on in the world right now. Everybody’s right and everybody’s wrong, and we’re making fun of all of you — and everything that’s going on culturally. It becomes more…

The Last Word

Soo Hugh – Pachinko

The show’s past timeline enters the Second World War era this year. What’s the benefit of telling stories set amidst a big, flashbulb moment in history? We always said that this show needed to be the “epic intimate” — in the same breath. It feels like that’s how life is. I only think about…

Jabari Banks – Bel-Air

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ5J2E_43wY Season three shows us summer in Bel-Air for the first time in the show’s run. And your showrunner, Carla Banks-Waddles, says the series has entered its “sexy era.” What does that mean, exactly? [Laughs] I think you know what “sexy era” means. Come on! There’s a lot of shirts off. It’s a hot…

Harry Lawtey – Industry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV6BGl2YA04&t=3s The journey that Rob went on in the first episode of season three — a new job, doubting himself, watching his lover die, having an existential crisis, then you end by shouting “I’m a man and I’m relentless!” in front of your co-workers — arguably could’ve been a season-long story arc for your character…

Leenah Robinson & Victoria Gwendoline – Don’t Even

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ4YYaQAcXA Are both Violet and Harley in some state of denial at the start of the show — believing they can hang onto each other even though the world is dragging them in very different directions? LEENAH ROBINSON: I feel like their friendship at the beginning is still very childlike — they’re depending on…

Ben Feldman – Population 11

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…

Jon Montgomery – The Amazing Race Canada

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…

Rob Brydon – My Lady Jane

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…

Andi Petrillo – 2024 Paris Olympic Games

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.…

Olivia Cooke – House of the Dragon

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…
