Chaske Spencer & Rob Morgan Teacup Interview header
Chaske Spencer and Rob Morgan play two figures on literally opposite sides of a mysterious line in Teacup. After first breaking out with his role as the werewolf Sam in the Twilight franchise, Spencer would start to gain steam on screen with the Banshee franchise, starring as Deputy Billy Raven, and continuing it with Giovanni Ribisi's Sneaky Pete, NBC's Blindspot and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Echo, starring as the titular character's uncle.
Alongside Spencer and Morgan, the ensemble Teacup cast includes The Handmaid's Tale's Yvonne Strahovski as Maggie Chenoweth, Grey's Anatomy's Scott Speedman as James Chenoweth, Émilie Bierre as their daughter Meryl, Caleb Dolden as Arlo, The Ranch's Kathy Baker as James' mother Ellen, and Evil's Boris McGiver as another local neighbor, Donald Kelly.
Chaske Spencer: Well, he explained the whole series. I didn't get any scripts, he just pitched the series and what it was going to be like. And he said that, for me, Ruben was going to go through all kinds of stuff, and there's going to be a lot of drama for him. He explained the idea of the main story, but he goes,"Everything was underneath. There's a lot of subtext." And that's how it attracted me.
Chaske Spencer: Really hard, it was hard playing that character, actually, being so closed off, and trying not to show the audience too much emotion. Every time we would do a take, the director would come and goes,"Okay, stoic it. Don't show anything." So, they would let me play a little bit. But at the end of the day, it was just keeping it very, very small. And me, by nature, I'm not really a small guy, you know, I'm pretty animated.
Rob Morgan: It was actually fun, because I think that was where the teamwork came in from either Ian, or the studio heads, or the director of episode 5, John Hyams, who was great to work with. He was very instrumental in giving me some of the ideas of what these moments were about, and what was needed at those moments for us to carry on in the journey. So, yeah, working with John in episode 5 was very, very clarifying.
And they're very easy to work with. They're really nice people, as much as there's drama on the screen, when you go,"Cut," we kind of just laugh and joke, because it's too much. So, they're wonderful people to work with, and Yvonne is amazing, really amazing. And as a producer, she's very hands-on as well.
