We spoke with MarvelousMrsMaisel's Luke Kirby on Lenny & Midge's relationship, which he calls 'a beautiful thing,' and more!
We are nearly at the end of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The period comedy-drama follows the life of the titular Midge Maisel who goes from becoming a housewife in the late 1950s to becoming a stand-up comic in New York. Early on in her career, Midge meets the famous Lenny Bruce , a fictionalized version of the real-life comedian. Midge and Lenny have instant chemistry together, and Lenny acts like a mentor to Midge during the beginning of her flourishing career.
You know, she always kind of… over the course of this show he sees the light within her, and that's really all he's reflecting back, and they kind of are able to bounce that back and forth and have that beautiful simpatico that's so lovely. But I think when they encounter each other at the airport, you know, there's sort of a sign that his ability to reflect back is just a little muted by another degree of exhaustion that he's having to contend with.
It's just been a joy and a privilege to get to explore him in any capacity, but I'm endlessly fascinated by that man, for sure, and he's become very kind of dear to me. He’s a friend that I'm not going to give up any time soon. And in terms of why people like it, my sense of it is, I mean, hopefully, it's for the same reason that I like Lenny and Midge together; it's just the way friends are. When you see two friends get together, but that right combination, you feel like you can see light pouring out of people sometimes when they connect, and it's just a beautiful thing.
I guess I'll miss all of it, but most of all just getting to see the gang be together. They are the ones that put in all the work, I kind of just got to come by and lick it once in a while and do a little dance. So, I'm just really grateful for them, and I’ll miss that.
