Raquel Laguna/ SUCOPRESS. Actor Billy Crudup is nominated for the fourth season of The Morning Show in the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category for his performance as Cory Ellison. In this interview, alongside actress Jennifer Aniston, Billy talks about his character and about working on the Apple TV series. Season four of The Morning Show takes place in the spring of 2024, nearly two years after the events of season three. Following the UBA–NBN merger, the newsroom faces new responsibilities, corporate power struggles and hidden agendas while trying to determine what can still be trusted in an increasingly polarized world shaped by misinformation, conspiracy theories and artificial intelligence.

00:00Billy, Corey has been always one of the most charismatic characters in the show and unpredictable,
00:08but this time he is following, he does whatever to, you know, to get his goal.
00:17Tell me about this evolution.
00:19Well, it appears that his way of navigating the world did not turn out as he had hoped.
00:26Shocking.
00:27Yeah, shocking, right?
00:28I mean, you know, so he has a bit of an existential crisis, I think.
00:32And during an existential crisis, you don't always behave in a conscious, clearly focused way.
00:39Somewhat unpredictable, I would imagine.
00:42Certainly for Corey, he is.
00:44And so you see some sides of him that are not terribly entertaining, that have some dark edges, a little
00:50bit spiky.
00:51And my gratitude goes out to the writers and directors who let me do that stuff.
00:57Oh, and it is so entertaining.
00:59I don't know what you're saying.
01:00For us as the audience, it's entertaining.
01:02Jennifer, as an executive producer also on the show, how rewarding is to be able to tell the stories you
01:10want to tell and also be involved in the creative process?
01:14Well, I personally love being involved in the creative process.
01:18I thrive in that being able to sort of see the seed of something and then watch it grow and
01:27become this incredible creation.
01:30And we've had such a wonderful time doing it.
01:34And we have an incredible producer team, producerial team.
01:38And we're such a good – we collaborate really well.
01:41And everyone is the smartest person in the room.
01:47But so, yeah, it is really fulfilling for me to get to do that.
01:52And also to have Reese and I, you know, she gets to put her – if I'm in the actor
01:57seat, she'll have her producer hat on and vice versa.
02:00And so sometimes she'll have to carry some water and then I'll have to carry some water and then it's
02:07really fun.
02:08What have you learned about truth, media?
02:12Also, the show reflects the reality.
02:14Like a lot of events are real happening right now.
02:18What have you learned working on a show like this?
02:22Well, I don't know if it's something I've learned, but at the moment I'm reading one article a day, one
02:30long article.
02:31I'm not looking at headlines for anything.
02:32It's just far too much.
02:34I see the people on the show panic about it and I don't want to live my life like that.
02:38No, I'm so grateful not to be – that's the writer's job, right?
02:41Yeah, I agree.
02:42And they have to see everything, read everything, try to understand what's –
02:46In real time, yeah.
02:47Yes, what's real, what's not real.
02:49Because all of us – it feels like such a farce.
02:52You almost don't believe what's happening is actually happening.
02:56Yeah.
02:57So.
