Anthony Carrigan tells THR on the 2023 Emmys red carpet that he's been reading comic books and "using his imagination" to be ready for his DC Comics role of Metamorpho in 'Superman: Legacy.'
00:00How does it feel to reunite with the very cast here tonight?
00:03It's the best. Any chance I get to reunite with the cast, I jump at it.
00:08I mean, everyone's so chill, so wonderful, and to, yeah, just to get to celebrate and party with them, we're going to have a blast.
00:16Coming up for you, you're playing Metamorpho in Superman Legacy. How are you preparing for that role right now?
00:22I mean, well, reading the comic books and, yeah, just using my imagination.
00:27I mean, the character's never been played before, so I'm, at least in real life, so I'm, you know, doing that thing where I like to draw inspiration from everywhere, like throw it all into a pot and see what happens.
00:42When do you start shooting?
00:44I don't know. I don't know that.
00:46Soon, probably, right?
00:47Maybe. Maybe not.
00:50Now, Rachel, of course, is also here tonight. Have you gotten to meet her at all yet at any of these award shows over the year?
00:55Oh, yeah, I love Rachel. She's fantastic, so talented. She's going to make such an incredible Lois Lane. Like, I'm just, yeah, I'm thrilled to work with her.
01:03Now, of course, the Emmys are celebrating 75 years of TV history tonight. What's a show you watched growing up that you loved and made you want to make TV?
01:11You know, well, the first thing that popped into my head was Dick Van Dyke's show. Like, Dick Van Dyke, what a legend, what an amazing comedian, artist. Like, the guy is just unbelievable.
01:21I watched so much television growing up. That was the first thing that popped into my head.
01:26And I also want to ask you, assistants were thanked in a very well-received Golden Globe speech from I.O., from The Bear.
01:32What's an undersung group in Hollywood that you would like to thank, if you could?
01:36Casting directors. Casting directors. Sherry Thomas, Sharon Bialy, I love you. You've made my career, truly.
01:43They cast me when I was, like, not sure if my career was going to work out, and I really do owe so much to them.
01:50So, cast, love your casting directors. Take care of them.
