joined me Monday for the latest edition of our Deadline Virtual House video series, where we take a deep dive into the making of some of this year’s most notable nominated shows. And notable HBO’s breakout drama is as it grabbed 18 noms from the Television Academy, and fullyof that total is due to the remarkable cast which with nine acting nominations leads all others this year in those categories .
Nominated in the same category, Harriet Walter had a different task as she plays the ex-wife of Logan Roy , and mother of three of his dysfunctional brood, only she doesn’t get nearly the screen time as they do in the series but makes the most of it to be sure. As a linchpin of the Royal Shakespeare Company, this celebrated star of the stage sees a connection with the Bard and the Roys.
“We have kind of accent days, when Sarah and I, especially if we have a day together, that we just kind of have a mutual meltdown, and we end up talking to everybody like that, like we can’t do it anymore, and it just goes really badly wrong,” Macfayden laughed. For Culkin, it has been the role of a lifetime. “It’s really fantastic. Like, this is some of the best writing I’ve ever had to work with, and really, it’s funny, because you asked, earlier how much of it is improvised. I don’t really know anymore. I feel like mostly nothing,” he said. He adds that the freedom the actors have is liberating and benefits the characters. Plusm he gets the lion;s share of zingers to say.
