Billy Crudup on his TheMorningShow breakout character — 'the smartest guy in the room' — and his motivations in the final episodes of the Apple TV+ drama
that drew Billy Crudup to the Apple TV+ drama.
"It was interpretive, obviously, because none of us can read anything without interpreting it through the lens of our own creative imagination," Crudup tellsof Corey's monologue, "but to me, the character was as fascinating and fun right on the page based upon the language that he used. My intention was purely to bring [showrunner] Kerry [Ehrin]’s vision of who the network executive was to life.
But the way in which I manifested Cory brought me to three different people that I’ve encountered throughout my life, all my age or younger, who have managed to achieve on a very high level and carry with them a kind of confidence in their own capacity to understand and read situations that I simply don’t have and kind of marvel at. They almost always land on their feet. They speak in paragraphs because they think in paragraphs.
You talk about what drives him and how he is motivated by a corporate duty. But as the season ramps up and Corey takes aim at the network over their complicity in the sexual misconduct scandal surrounding Mitch , is any part of him also seeking social justice? He’s looking at it from a larger philosophical context. Not just one that will get great ratings, but I think he also believes pretty strongly — and there’s some evidence in the script — that nobody should be subjugated the way that people have been subjugated and harassed by Mitch, certainly not in an environment where he has any kind of authority. And that it’s not good overall for a community, wherewon’t have the potential of having all employees working their hardest.
