We spoke w/ Noma Dumezweni about TheWatcher, Ryan Murphy, and being part of the live-action ‘Little Mermaid’ movie.
From show creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, and based on the New York Magazine article “The Haunting of a Dream House,” the Netflix original series The Watcher follows the Brannock family as they move into a dream home in an idyllic suburb in New Jersey.
NOMA DUMEZWENI: They’re absolutely different worlds. You’re going to properly meet Theodora when she meets Dean, which is quite the introduction for him. She states who she is, quite early on, and her need to be a part of this case. With Haley Fitzgerald from The Undoing and Theodora Birch from The Watcher, I love that I get to play characters that are really very different. The thing that ties them together is wardrobe.
One of the things that Ryan Murphy is known for, is putting great actors into incredible ensembles, and then still managing to bring things out of them that they don’t necessarily know they were capable of. How did you find the experience of working on a Ryan Murphy production? What was that process like?
DUMEZWENI: It’s absolutely a joy. And I only got to work with some of them. I didn’t work with all of them. But to meet them and see them getting ready in the makeup chair, in the mornings, was amazing. I got to see Mia Farrow in the corridors, and then she’d just be brilliant. And Margo Martindale, for me, is one of the great character actors. This ensemble is amazing, but she was my gateway drug. I had heard about Margo Martindale being involved, before anyone else, and I just freaked out.
