00:00You mentioned at the SAG After Last Year Foundation about taking acting jobs that excite you and knowing when you're
00:06right for the role.
00:07What about Eamon Sweeney made you think, I'm right for this role?
00:11She's just a miserable b****, so it felt like a natural fit.
00:17I love that so much. Did you enjoy anything about playing, being miserable?
00:22Oh, it was fantastic. As with anything that I find myself attracted to in the writing, there's complexity, there's layers.
00:33He's not a one-dimensional bad guy. He's trying to swim with the sharks and play the game and be
00:40the man.
00:41Depending on the character that I'm interacting with, he's a chameleon, a different kind of guy, so it was fun.
00:48Do you think he's threatened by the younger generation?
00:50I'm sorry?
00:52Do you think he's threatened by the younger generation?
00:54I think he's threatened by pretty much everybody and tries to pretend that he's not.
01:00Yes. He does very well at masking it.
01:02Yeah, of course. He's a good actor.
