Patrick Dempsey is in Cannes to promote his latest project. However, this time he’s repping an Italian drama rather than a U.S. network series. Dempsey, known to a legion of Grey’s Anatomy fa…
“Everyone’s making their own projects from France to Italy, they’re no longer just waiting for the American market so I think it’s really important that we start collaborating internationally and use [our] visibility to cross pollinate. It’s an incredible time because there are so many stories to be told, depending on which country you’re from with young filmmakers and writers,” he told Deadline.Dempsey stars alongside Alessandro Borghi and Kasia Smutniak .
“It’s an international story and has a different perspective on the financial world to the one that we’re used to, usually from the American perspective,” he said, adding that he’d enjoyed working with French director Jean-Jacques Annaud on Epix’s The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair. “I love being in Europe and you want to do something different, you want to challenge yourself. You go from the guy everybody loves to the guy you’re not sure about.
Dempsey added that it was a different process than previous shows he’d worked on. He said he was drawn to the complex character. I like the fact that you don’t know whether he’s the good guy or a bad guy, you don’t know which way he’s coming form and as it progresses, you’re even less sure of what he’s up to,” he said.
Borghi told Deadline, “The key to the series is the relationship between these two men because he’s my mentor but you’re going to change your point of view over the series. This was the most fun thing for the character, every time that you have to show a different side of your character.”
